Former top adult video star Sola (Sora) Aoi has given her first on-camera interview in four years.
Once the most famous Japanese porn star, and popular also in other parts of Asia, Sora Aoi announced her marriage at the start of 2018 to DJ Non.
When she then announced she was pregnant at the end of that year, she experienced quite a lot of abuse on social media. Despite not appearing in porn since 2011, many trolls still criticized her for becoming a mother, saying it was "sad for the children."
Now aged 42, Sola Aoi has two kids with DJ Non. She gave birth to twins in May 2019.
She ...
If you thought that when Sola Aoi got married, you would see the last of her, think again.
The popular former adult video star is now heavily pregnant but isn't content to sit back and wait for nature to take its course. No, even the imminent start of maternity is a way for her to connect with her legions of fans and, if we're frank, take her fame (as in 655,000-Instagram-followers-level fame) to new extremes.
"Welcome to the world, Sola's baby [sic]," says the publicity for Abema TV's live broadcast of the birth of her twins. Yes, 35-year-old Sola (sometimes spelled Sora) is going to ...
A recent survey published by Nikkan Spa! asked 300 Japanese men in their forties to remember the porn they consumed when younger and vote for their favorite or most memorable adult video stars.
Multiple votes were allowed, which is just as well considering how stunning all these ladies are (were?).
Here are the result, ranked in order of the votes they received.
1. Ai Iijima (96 votes)
2. Yuri Komuro (87 votes)
3. Nao Oikawa (86 votes)
4. Sora/Sola Aoi (80 votes)
5. Rui Sakuragi (78 votes)
6. Hitomi Kobayashi (63 votes)
7. Hitomi Shiraishi (55 votes)
8. Mihiro (51 ...
There comes a point in every Japanese porn star fan's life when he (or she) has to accept the facts of reality.
Their favorite adult video idol will, at some point, retire from the industry, most likely into obscurity. Or they get married (at least, they do the rare thing of announcing this publicly while still famous).
Such is the case with Sola Aoi, the immensely popular JAV star who enjoys remarkable fame overseas.
Sola (or Sora) has not made an original porn release since 2011 but is still adored by legions of men, especially in China. Now, sadly, there is a further obstacle between ...
A survey by Japan Pres Research Institute asked 1,000 people across various countries for their views on Japan. Part of this included naming living or dead Japanese people that they knew. The results were, to say the least, intriguing...
By default the survey became a resource for seeing which Japanese people are famous abroad. In France, America, South Korea and other places, the results were familiar: the prime minister, emperor, popular sports figures, an anime character, and so on.
But in Thailand, things were rather different:
1. Shinzo Abe (178)
2. Doraemon (111)
3. The ...
Joining the recent silliness of Condom Day in the (ever-increasing) list of odd anniversaries in Japan, "Kiss Day" is celebrated on May 23rd because it is the day that the film Hatachi no seishun (20-Year-Old Youth) was released in 1946.
In case you're not a film buff, that's the movie that featured the first ever kiss scene, though the stars may have had gauze between them.
To celebrate, Edition Aoyama, a club in Akasaka, Tokyo, is holding an event on Saturday where couples (not necessarily male-female, it seems) are invited to kiss each other through an acrylic plastic ...
Japanese porn star Sola Aoi (aka Sora Aoi) is immensely popular in China but her latest attempt to flog her titillating DVDs has backfired with the establishment.
She has now indulged in some calligraphy in the country, though it has been criticized as "unskilled" by traditionalists.
That hasn't stopped it from being auctioned for $95,000!
Sola wrote eight Kanji characters at a theme park in Ningbo, which were sold this month.
However, the media has tried to use the opportunity to criticize this "foreign" invader of the flesh.
"The style of calligraphy is childish, ...
Forget politics. When it comes to what's inside their pants, Chinese men are willing to forget about the ongoing Senkaku Islands dispute with Japan.
Namely, hot Japanese porn stars.
Sora (or Sola) Aoi is especially popular, with 13 million followers on the Chinese version of Twitter.
With Japanese cars being trashed, Chinese films being withdrawn from the Tokyo International Film Festival, and trade and tourism collapsing... you might think that Sora should be worried. Apparently not.
A slogan spread among Chinese men earlier this year: “The Senkaku Islands belong to us; Sora Aoi ...
Porn might be illegal in mainland China, but that hasn't stopped amply-bosomed sex-kitten Sora (or Sola) Aoi attaining a level of celebrity there practically unheard of for an adult actress (let alone a Japanese one).
With her Chinese name now registering more than 41 million page hits on Google (exceeding the not-inconsiderable likes of Mao Zedong, Yao Ming and Confucius) the sexy, savvy JAV idol's star is most definitely on the rise.
Having made her AV debut in 2002 (aged 18, in the Alice Japan release Happy Go Lucky!), the now-27-year-old Sora quickly branched out into other ...
Are you one of the hundreds of thousands of Sora Aoi fans?
We spotted an interesting interview with porn star Sora Aoi on CNNgo.
One of the many nuggets in the article is this gem:
AV girls never marry anyone within the industry out of convention, again, entirely different to the regular entertainment business in Japan where idols, actresses and singers regularly marry directors, managers and stylists.
Does that mean there is hope for normal guys out there?!
Sora talks about her early ambitions to be a school teacher, her relationships with men, and her new activities as an ...
