Kiho Kanematsu continues porn career with two new summer releases
July 16, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Formerly known as Satomi Kaneko, the name under which she performed in music group AKB48 and worked as a gravure and nude idol, Kiho Kanematsu's porn debut this spring was one of the most highly anticipated and hyped of the year so far.
After making her adult video debut on the specialist crossover label Muteki back in April, the excitement continued as she transferred to S1 No. 1 Style and generously went back on the (always dubious) promise that her debut would be a one-off.
Let's be honest, the logic of the market dictates that if the sales were good and demand strong, there were always ...

On Monday, we wrote about the upcoming porn debut of L-cup gravure idol Yu Tano, and it got a stronger-than-expected reaction from readers.
Well, if you liked the initial news, you're going to love the first preview pics of the 20-year-old's debut AV, which show off her naked body -- and especially those amazing bakunyu tits.
Coming out from top studio S1 No. 1 Style, the release date is now confirmed as June 7 for streaming. The AV is 154 minutes and the code is SONE00221, so search for it next month if you want to check it out. And anyone with a pulse will surely want to.

L-cup gravure idol Yu Tano to make porn debut
May 13, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
She only made her gravure debut in January, but busty idol Yu Tano (田野憂) has already made the switch to adult video.
The 20-year-old newbie with L-cup breasts will make her porn debut with S1 No. 1 Style, much like gradol Chika Yuki did last autumn.
Details are still slim about the release -- not least, when it will come out -- but Yu Tano made the announcement on social media last week and it has been confirmed by S1.
The announcement has sent her digital photo book shooting to the stop of the charts.
If you are into bakunyu mega-busty AV performers like Hitomi Tanaka, then ...
Porn star Nanami Ogura returns as Nanami Kodama (after alleged stint as sex worker)
March 29, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Porn star Nanami Ogura (小倉七海) may still be just 21 years old but has already amassed a prodigious output of releases since making her debut with S1 No. 1 Style in September 2021, including multiple bestselling AVs as well as two print photo books and several digital ones.
But that all seemed like a flash in the pan when she suddenly announced her retirement in October 2022, leading some to speculate it was due to the constraints placed on the JAV industry since the introduction of new porn legislation.
Thankfully, Ogura's retirement didn't last and she was soon back, under a ...
Ex-gravure idol Chika Yuki to make porn debut in October
September 28, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
You might remember Chika Yuki (or Yuuki) (結城ちか) from back in the late 2010s.
The formidably busty gravure idol made her debut in 2014 (when she still at school) and enjoyed some initial success, but then left her agency and switched to another name -- Chika Takahashi -- in 2020, followed by yet another name -- Maiha Hinata -- in 2021.
All this seemed to suggest her gradol career was in free fall. Despite her obvious talents and assets that made her more than qualified for the job, it's a competitive industry that favors the flavor of the month for cover shoots and big gigs. She ...
Yua Mikami releases final porn video before retirement
August 14, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
As announced earlier in the year, the immensely popular Japanese porn star Yua Mikami is to return in August and her final release has just come out from S1 No. 1 Style.
The 147-minute release (SSIS00834) comes out on physical format on August 15, following its streaming release at the end of last week.
The JAV stunner turns 30 this month and has enjoyed an eight-year career, which is very long by industry standards. She is also probably the most successful and famous example of a Japanese music idol who switched to adult video; in her case, SKE48, where she was known as Momona ...
June is almost upon us, set to bring a bevy of new porn debuts by aspiring adult video stars in a competitive industry.
Here are some of the debuts we are looking forward to in the first half of the month.
Released digitally on June 2 and on physical format on June 6, Rina Matsunaga (松永梨杏) makes her JAV debut on Moodyz Diva (MIDV00366). The 162-minute production will surely make a lot out of the 21-year-old college student's H-cup breasts and girl-next-door looks.
The slinky and elegantly beautiful Wakana Sakura (さくらわかな) has an appropriate name for her debut release ...
Japanese porn legend Yua Mikami to retire after eight years of AV releases
March 15, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
On Monday came news that Yua Mikami is to retire from porn after a stunning eight-year run in the industry.
The announcement isn't a huge surprise, given her age (she turns 30 in August) and length of time in the industry, plus Mikami had also done other things in parallel with her adult video performing, such as being a member of a K-Pop music group (comprising only porn stars), selling NFT art, and designing her own apparel.
As regular readers and JAV fans will know well, Yua Mikami used to be a member of the AKB48 spin-off group SKE48. She is one of many AKB-related idols who branched ...
Former TV celebrity Riona Yuki makes porn debut as Alice Shinomiya
November 10, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
The former idol Riona Yuki (結城りおな) who made TV appearances has launched an adult video career, changing her professional name to Alice Shinomiya (四宮ありす).
Netizens are now scrambling to figure out if they ever caught her on TV. Screen grabs indicate that she did appear on certain shows, but did she leave much of an impression? (Japanese TV shows are notoriously overcrowded with celebrities all competing for attention.)
Yuki reportedly belonged to Amuse, a major management agency for music idols and celebrities.
It is a strange case that someone who was a guest on ...
First images from TikToker Unpai’s porn debut
February 23, 2022
/ Tadashi Anahori
Probably the most highly anticipated (and hyped) porn debut in the industry right now is that of Unpai, the wildly popular Japanese TikToker.
Known for her bust, "duck mouth," and sexy videos, Unpai is making a (supposedly) one-off foray into adult video with a release from S1 No. 1 Style.
The 171-minute video (SSIS-00312) by the 27-year-old, whose real name is Sayaka Ito, came out digitally last week and on physical formats yesterday.
From the look of the first images we have seen, it seems pretty conventional. But then, who needs gimmicks and flashy locations when you have a body (and ...
