For reasons both private and professional, we get to peruse a lot of Japanese porn stars. We have our favorites for various reasons but one who has always lingered long in our mind over the years is Rara Anzai (aka Rion, aka Shion Utsunomiya). From her staggeringly impressive breasts to that alluring, come-hither face, she is a true superstar. After a comeback last year, her career is still going strong, we are pleased to see, and this has meant more tie-in adult toys. Following the Japanese Real Hole Indecent Rara Anzai late last year, she has released a further three toys (all from EXE ...

People sometimes make outrageous claims on social media, and don't always follow through. But This Japanese lady apparently wasn't lying. The nurse and purported influencer claimed that she would make her adult video debut if she got over 10,000 followers. Mikako Horiuchi (堀内未果子) went by the name Onikonbu (卍鬼昆布ちゃん卍) for her then-little-known Twitter account, which she had used since May 2012. Well, the F-cup beauty soon did accrue that number of followers -- and more. She was as good as her word and promptly shot her first porn release (IPIT00015), which came out ...

Fan adaptations of manga and anime franchises are a major part of Japanese subcultures, most notably in doujinshi. But fan fiction is not always liked by the original creators, especially when it is depicting beloved characters in sexually explicit settings. As one of the most popular and obsessed-about franchises, Evangelion has attracted plenty of such fan fiction and doujinshi attention. And given the popularity of the female character Rei Ayanami, who is regarded as a sex symbol by many, it is inevitable that Evangelion fan fiction is often sexual explicit -- or, in another cadence, ...

Like most people, we are keen -- alright, desperate! -- to see this year done and dusted. With the new COVID strain, though, something tells us that the calendar simply turning into 2021 won't suddenly makes things OK. So we are always pleased to see news like this sneak into the final days of the year. The gravure idol Kaoru Yasui is known for her busty body, large butt, and come-hither looks. The 21-year-old previously went through a professional name change, her kanji shifting from 安位薫 to 安位カヲル when she changed left her agency at the end of August. Having made her debut ...

We've all seen those pop-ups that sometimes appear on particularly dodgy sites, demanding that you pay a ridiculous amount of money. Most of the time, you can click away and rest easy that it's a bluff. But sometimes people do pay. Spare a thought for this Japanese man in his fifties, living in the frigid northernly city of Sapporo. He kept himself warm by watching some porn online. But then he got a text to his phone in October from someone claiming to be NTT Finance, which is a genuine company (a subsidiary of the telecommunications giant). He duly rang the number in the message, only ...

These days, we aren't going out much, but we might be persuaded to make an exception here. Tokyo Weekender published a photo report on the recently opened SOD Land, which is publicized as a porn theme park. As previously reported, the complex opened in the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku in central Tokyo back in October, and features five floors devoted to adult video. Tokyo Weekender's report emphasizes the "safety" aspect of the visit, in how the site has adapted to the risk of the coronavirus through face masks, disinfecting visitors from head to foot, and a special UV filter in the ...

While most recent news about Japanese porn has been dominated by the very welcome return of Asahi Mizuno, we wanted to highlight another example we found that shows how part of the industry operates. Once again, a minor idol from a group relatively unknown in the mainstream has been persuaded to switch from music to porn. In this case, it's 19-year-old Sayaka Takayama (高山さやか), formerly of Girl's Horizon (aka Garuhora), who has made her AV debut under the name Nana Yaotome (八乙女なな) mere weeks after leaving the group. The 180-minute release (MIFD00140) comes ...

There's a lot of excitement swirling around since the announcement that the singer and model Mariya Nishiuchi would be appearing in the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix drama The Naked Director. The drama charts the career of Japanese adult video impresario Toru Muranishi, whose ambitious productions revolutionized the industry in the 1980s and 1990s. Nishiuchi will apparently play Mariko Itsuki (樹まり子), a busty stunner who notched up dozens of credits in porn releases in the late 1980s and early 1990s as well as several photo books. Now the question is: How much will ...

As widely reported in the print and TV media this week, top Japanese porn star (or "sexy actress" as the mainstream media euphemism has it) Yuria Satomi was the victim of theft at her exclusive Nakameguro condo on the morning of October 26. Two thieves posing as delivery men broke into her apartment after she answered the door. The AV actress was held down by one while the other ransacked her home in search of cash. They were apparently in phone contact with and receiving instructions from an accomplice outside, said Satomi, who feared for her life during the incident despite the men's ...
