The Japanese adult video industry loves to parody other cultural productions or topical events, as we have covered numerous times here. Past examples include pastiches of Demon Slayer, Joker, and Ultraman. These do go too far sometimes. One parody porn inspired by the DJ groping incident was ultimately not released, perhaps for fear of legal reprisals from the Korean celebrity's side. A porn based on a women's support group (and anti-feminist sentiment toward it by male netizens) was likewise very controversial last October. The parody of the Maho Yamaguchi assault incident also had a ...

We have grown used to Japanese porn stars' prior careers as music idols, gravure models, and so on. What's often so exciting about their entry into adult video is that those worlds generally don't allow the women to have relationships publicly (because it spoils the illusion that you could date the idol). This is similar with the Takarazuka Revue, a long-running all-female company that puts on musicals in Osaka and Tokyo. Some of the most famous actresses in Japan started off life as members of the company, though it is something of a closed eco-system, putting on a very particular type of ...

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 ...

If you follow the Japanese adult video newbies closely, you may have noticed the porn debut of Moeka Marui (円井萌華) back in May for SOD Create. Though her exact age is unknown, Marui was formerly a child model and music idol under the name Moeka (萌華). She apparently had a following in Taiwan and would travel to appear in events there, though they seem like relatively small street performances. (So the next time you see an idol performing on the street in a Japanese city, imagine their future career in porn!) Here is Marui back in her Taiwanese days. She has so far ...

Minamo is moving fast to capitalize on the big splash she made with her recent porn debut. After switching from gravure, where she was known as Shizuku Taiyo, the angel-faced beauty has rapidly attracted a following with her well-publicized first release for Soft on Demand. As often the case, another video was quickly shot -- she was probably contracted from the start to make at least a couple of productions -- and put on the release slate. While no full preview images are available yet, the aptly titled "Ecstasy" (1stars386) comes out from SOD Create on July 8 and the cover alone is ...

A debut and a disappearance. This is a curious tale. The beautiful gravure idol Shizuku Taiyo (太陽しずく), whose name literally means "drop sun" or "trickle sun," broke into the mainstream with her industry debut in autumn 2019. She graced the covers of Young King magazine for the September 24 and October 28 editions, and a 15-page spread in the latter. But then the 19-year-old basically vanished. While it is customary for models and idols to change their professional names (especially ahead of a porn debut) and, in the process, for previous social media channels to be deleted, why ...

A Japanese YouTuber has been identified by netizens as a woman in an adult video who jerks a guy off. Known for her popular videos about plastic models and construction kits, Kino Kosaka (or Kino Kousaka, 香坂きの) appeared in a 2011 "amateur" (shiroto) porn (1sdmt00514) released by SOD Create in which she was one of several women providing handjobs for the camera. The women's faces were originally pixellated in the DVD but somehow netizens could figure out it was her. On October 1st, she published an emotional response to the accusations on her YouTube channel Mokenchu TV ...

Sometimes a bit of experience makes a big different. Sayuri Miyazono is the latest Japanese porn debutant to catch our eye and she's in a different kind of league to the hundreds of other new adult video stars. Miyazono is 32 years old, putting her loosely in the jukujo "mature woman" category that is increasingly popular in the mainstream, thanks to the seductive likes of Mitsu Dan and Manami Hashimoto. Sayuri's slender and pale Asian body is coupled with an E-cup bust and pretty face of the kind that can be seen almost any day around Tokyo. And that's the point. She's meant to be ...

Say your thanks to the 8 million gods of Shinto. The latest major adult video debut is an idol with a distinctly Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Harajuku vibe. @yano_purple, as she is known, has purple dyed hair and sweet looks. She might be one of the young girls you see in outrageously colorful clothes and cosplay on the streets of Harajuku or Shibuya. Luckily for us she got scouted and tempted into a porn career. "Estimated" (as the marketing phrases it) to be 20 years old, she's making debut this month with a 126-minute release (1KMHR00039) from SOD Create. The AV has a threesome theme and in ...
