The ero-cosplayer Yuko Haruno (春野ゆこ) will make her porn debut in an adult video that comes out digitally on May 30, followed by a physical release in July. The epic, 217-minute AV production (1STARS00799), filmed in 4K, from SODstar promises to make much of her pale skin and beautiful, massive breasts (supposedly an I cup). The publicity is also emphasizing Haruno's versatility with cosplaying a wide range of characters, which puts her in good stead for different porn scenarios. They say that all newbies looking to break into an industry now need a platform to sell ...

One of our current favorite gravure idols, 23-year-old Tsubasa Hazuki (葉月つばさ), is releasing her long-awaited second print photo book at the end of the month. As we wrote before about it earlier in the summer, it's yet another nude book, following her debut, "Red Zone," which was released last year. This time, with veteran gravure photographer Koki Nishida, she shows us even more of her body, including her nipples -- admittedly covered by wet clothing or translucent fabric. It's not quite full-frontal (hair nude) stuff yet, but very, very close. After the previous spread we picked ...

Japanese female golfer Makoto Takemura (竹村真琴) has posed for a gravure shoot. The 31-year-old, who has been professional since 2009, put down her clubs for a session with Shukan Post, a weekly tabloid. The shoot was done at the beach town of Kujukuri in Chiba. It was her first bikini and lingerie shoot, though various Japanese female sports athletes have made the move into gravure and nude photography. Recent examples include an Olympic swimmer. Because she's also in her thirties, Makoto Takemura also qualifies as an alluring jukujo. After all, you can tell she knows how to grip a ...

She generously showed us her naked butt last year. And now Tsubasa Hazuki has gone even further. In her latest onsen-themed photo book, Hazuki is shown nude under a very wet, very thin garment. Her breasts and nipples are clearly visible through the fabric. Her mons pubis is also shown in close-up and she appears to be paipan. This is about as close as you can get to a full-nude shoot without being naked -- nominally speaking. So now we have a vicarious sense of what it would be like to take Tsubasa Hazuki away for an intimate stay at a hot spring resort. If only this was actually one of ...

As Japan's population ages and there are ever more people over sixty, one of the challenges for the AV industry is how to adjust for a changing demographic. One of the results is the growth of porn aimed at seniors. Expect porn starring older men and jukujo to become a major proportion of the market in the near future. (A knock-on effect is also that more and more prostitution services are catering specifically to the older customer, and that a quarter of love hotel users are over 65.) Unlike many other places, the porn industry has not suffered the precipitous decline in DVD sales and ...
