Now this is what we call going out with a bang. Top Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has retired from porn, as announced in April, and released her final title (MIDV-099) this month.
Of course, JAV is more than just videos, and Takasho has also put out an array of tie-in toys over the years, from onaholes to lubes and even vibrators.
To complement her last ever porn release, she has teamed up with top adult brand EXE to produce the Japanese Real Oppai Shoko Takahashi Breasts. Given that Takasho's greatest asset is her chest, and her unusual inverted nipples, this is a no-brainer ...
The high-profile Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has announced on social media on April 1 that she will retire from porn.
This news came out a few days ago and somehow slipped under our radar until last night. Despite the timing of the announcement, Takahashi emphasized that it's not an April Fool's joke. She has also shot down rumors that she is pregnant or getting married. Instead, she says, her motivation for retiring was the health risk that a long porn career entails.
Her official retirement release (MIDV-099) was shot at the end of last year and will come out on May ...
It's an open secret that "compensated dating" (援助交際, enjo kosai) is common in the Japanese idol world, even among mainstream entertainers and celebrities.
Just as the casting couch exists, so too does the dating table. Idols don't earn that much money and their careers are fickle, so they boost their income with dates.
There doesn't always sex involved, it should be added, but it's surely not impossible. It's like a hostess "dohan" date (where the hostess accompanies you for dining before going to the club together) or services offered by "dating clubs" (交際クラブ, kosai ...
Who wouldn't want to go on a date with Shoko Takahashi?
The busty porn star is one of the most popular ladies in the adult video industry right now and certainly one of the most successful examples of a gravure idol crossing over into JAV.
Well, forty fans have the chance to accompany Shoko Takahashi -- also known as Takasho -- on a special tour that leaves Shinjuku on April 20th by bus. At the rural destination, the tour will encompass erotically charged strawberry picking and then a private stay at a hot spring (onsen) resort.
This latter will include a group dinner but, perhaps most ...

Shoko Takahashi is one of the few gravure idols whose crossover to adult video has been a lasting success.
Formerly known as Shoko Takasaki, she has continued to enjoy commercial triumph after triumph with her porn releases, which typically exploit her incredible bust (and breasts that have, unusually for AV stars, inverted nipples).
And now the goddess has released what is, to our knowledge, her first clone masturbator toy: the Meiki no Syoumei File Shoko Takahashi AV Star Onahole.
Onahole enthusiasts will quickly spot that this is the latest (actually, the eleventh) in a specific ...
Japanese movies rarely have sex scenes of note, it must be said, so the good ones stand out.
Japanese television is pretty tame, the occasional sexy scene not withstanding. But AbemaTV, an online streaming channel, has different standards.
Last year it broadcast its first original drama series, Tokumei Kakaricho Tadano Hitoshi, showing us Shoko Takahashi (formerly the gravure idol Shoko Takasaki) and Yua Mikami (ex-SKE48 idol Momona Kito) in the buff. All right, they are two of the top AV stars in Japan today, so we've already seen everything they have to offer and more. But it's still nice ...
As we prepare for the joys that await the adult world thanks to virtual reality, you can currently get a taster of the kind of things we might see a lot more of soon.
Friday, the weekly tabloid published by Kodansha, has got together with former gravure model and now top porn star Shoko Takahashi (Shoko Takasaki) to produce three "virtual reality" scenes featuring the busty lady in the nude.
The 3D scenes are viewable in three dimensions: view them here, here and here. Use your cursor to move around and find Shoko waiting to entertain you. We assume this promotion is only available ...
Here's something that may restore your faith in Japanese TV.
Tokumei Kakaricho Tadano Hitoshi is a TV series based on the manga by Kimio Yanagisawa. It has already been adapted into a TV drama once before but now a new version is streaming on AbemaTV, an online streaming channel. It is the channel's first original series.
Japanese TV is famously weird, but in terms of nudity is pretty modest and prim. But satellite TV and online TV is not so restricted and can show nudity and sex scenes, not to mention strange shows where porn stars jerk off men on camera or telethons where men line up ...
