A few weeks ago, we reported on the engagement and pregnancy of ex-porn star Nanami Kawakami.
Being an adult video star is hard enough with the long shoots, physical pressures, and social stigma, but the job also really affects your ability to lead a regular life outside of work. This includes, of course, settling down with a special someone -- if that's your choice -- and perhaps even having kids.
Anri Sakaguchi, whose colorful life has encompassed a stint in AV, has recently announced her divorce after just two months of marriage.
News reports last year said that former JAV star Nao ...
We mentioned earlier this month about the long-awaited follow-up adult video release by Yotsuha Kominato (Rikako Inoue), the former Fairies music idol.
The singer's second AV (1stars00715), which sees Kominato co-star with top male porn performer Shimiken for one of the sexual encounters, comes in the wake of a hugely publicized porn debut in June. Produced and released again by SODstar, the JAV title has now hit the market and the first screen grabs indicate that her slender, pale-skinned body is working overtime once more.
If these images entice you, put some yen down on the table to buy ...
One of the biggest porn debuts of the year was by former Fairies idol Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato.
Her highly anticipated first adult release came out in the summer and was a hit, thanks to a major marketing splash laid out by Soft on Demand.
Now comes the follow-up.
Clocking in at a hefty 261 minutes (even longer than her debut) for the digital version, her second release (also from SODstar) is available in Japan from September 20 (code 1stars00715) and features 4K-quality action with four sexual encounters. The physical release on DVD and Blu-ray is a little shorter ...
As we continue to watch the new season of the Netflix show The Naked Director and its galvanic portrayal of the 1980s and 1990s Japanese adult video industry, porn shoots have been on our mind even more than usual.
In behind-the-scenes photos of porn shoots, we are amazed by so many things.
How many staff are involved and how, if you'll excuse the pun, hard the work it is, getting the right angles and lighting. In these corona times, as two pictures recently shared by the AV director Daiki Kato (Samoari) demonstrate, they also have to wear masks (except the ...
We recently shared the surprisingly sensitive and insightful interview by Nobita with porn star Roku Kuroi.
Here is one that Nobita did with the wife of Shimiken.
As regular readers will know, Shimiken is the most prolific and hard-working male adult video performer in Japan. There are actually only a handful of such male stars in the industry and his services are called upon daily for shoots with the biggest and best ladies in AV.
He married Haruka Ito in 2019, as we reported at the time (it is, we should note, a common-law marriage). Writer and blogger Haruka Ito (aka Hachu) is a kind of ...
Oh, Japanese porn and your parodic tendencies, is nothing safe from your tentacles?
From a real-life sexual assault on a peer to a wacky TV commercial and even a hit zombie movie, AV consistently finds new subject matters to parody and imitate.
But this is the first kids' show that we've seen parodied in this way.
Out this month on the Million label, a new AV starring Kizuna Sakura (84mkmp00284) shamelessly parodies the NHK TV quiz show Chiko-chan ni shikarareru! (Chiko-chan will scold you).
The appeal of the latter is mostly down to the central character, a five-year-old girl who yells ...
Shimiken (Ken Shimizu) has announced his marriage to the blogger and writer Haruka Ito after apparently dating for four years.
The announcement came online on July 15th with a tweeted picture of the happy couple.
Probably the best-known and most famous male adult video actor, the 38-year-old muscular performer has appeared in thousands of porn releases, in the process having sex with literally thousands of women. A tiny selection of his conquests include Melo Imai, Yua Mikami, and Shoko Takasaki. He also once opened a "poo curry" restaurant in Tokyo, which almost sounds like something ...
If you like Japanese schoolgirl porn -- that is Japanese adult video with a schoolgirl theme, though performers will be above legal age -- then you may well know that Japanese porn titles often use euphemisms to describe this subgenre.
The Japanese word "joshi kosei" means "high school girl" but by writing the third with a different kanji (女子校生, rather than 女子高生), it was possible to hide the "high" part and just make it look like female students without a specific age -- even more useful if you also wanted to hint that the students are younger than high school age.
The ...
Mero Imai is a former Olympic snowboarder turned nude model and call girl.
As we reported in April, the 29-year-old single mother from Osaka has also now added porn star to her cluttered resume. Her debut Snow Drop was released May 1st from Muteki, which specializes in minor celebrities making the switch to porn.
The first pictures are in, so let's take a look.
What do you think? Mero Imai has a nice body and there's always the novelty factor with a release like this, but otherwise it looks pretty banal in terms of setting and on-screen ...
We're almost two years late to this (hey, we were busy blogging other stuff!) but we stumbled upon this funny video of our favorite male AV star, Shimiken, trying out a special "double spiral" condom.
The video is produced by G-Project, which is an adult toy brand and who made the new condom.
It's only in Japanese but you should be able to follow along regardless of your language ability.
The best bit is when he tries on the condom and we see AV actress Michiru Morisaki helping a blindfolded Shimiken try the condom, and then Shimiken has to jerk off to stay erect. We also love ...
