Asian Boss recently landed a video interview with former Japanese adult video star Emiri Okazaki.
The video has proved a hit, notching up over 3.5 million views in just a few days at time of writing.
As video host Kei notes, Japan is known for a handful things, including anime and porn. But why is porn so big here? And what is like to work in the industry?
The 18-minute interview is in Japanese but has English subtitles throughout. Emiri Okazaki, whose five-year AV stint began in 2011, discusses her career and thoughts on working as a porn star.
The kinds of women who go ...
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 ...
Yuka Kuramochi is one of the most popular gravure models in Japan, famous and beloved particularly for her curvy butt.
The bits and pieces of acting the 26-year-old has also done have not been anything to write home about... until now.
Since she has done what we think is her first sex scene, in a television drama called Yareta Kamo Iinkai (The Almost Got Laid Committee), which stars Nogizaka46's Mai Shiraishi as well as Yuka Ogura. The live-action adaptation of Yoshida Takashi's manga was first produced by online broadcaster AbemaTV (fast developing a reputation as the HBO of Japan) but ...
Remember our excitement over Suzu Honjo? Ahead of her much-anticipated adult video debut for Soft on Demand, she did a lavish nude photo shoot.
Now we've found some preview images from her first AV release, which came out on April 26th from SOD Star.
Directed by Ietaro, Honjo's 305-minute title (1STAR00888SS) has attracted 10,000 advance reservations, which is a lot in an overcrowded industry where many performers debut to a whimper (with the exception of a few celebrities switching over from another industry) and most releases shift only a few thousand in total.
In her porn ...
Combining bodybuilding and sports with gravure, "muscles idol" Reika Saiki is a femdom fetishist's dream come true.
It's not hard to imagine her appeal with harmony of cute face and muscular body. Imagine those thunder thighs and powerful arms pinning you down while she grinds you! She's not completely new to the scene, though. We already noted her brawny charms in 2016.
Now Reika Saiki has taken things to the next logical conclusion: by transforming into Street Fighter's Chun-Li.
She recently posed for some stunning shots that really show off her combat pose and chunky ...
The Education Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi has apologized for using an official car to pay visits to a "sexy yoga" studio.
It follows a sexual harassment scandal involving a leading bureaucrat in the finance ministry, who was recently forced to resign after audio emerged of him asking to hug and touch the breasts of a female newspaper reporter.
The tabloids have gleefully parsed the details of this new transgression, such as the private oil massage Hayashi received from the yoga instructor. Was there also a bit of rub and tug?!
We, on the other hand, are more intrigued by the instructors. ...
After the positive response to our post last week on the hotly anticipated adult video debut of Saika Kawakita, we decided to take a look at another stunning new addition to the pantheon of Japanese porn.
Yui Tomita is apparently (all right, the marketing bods don't always tell the truth) an actual college girl who has just released her first AV this month from Moodyz.
The 149-minute title (MIDF00036) is directed by Michiru Arashiyama and is out on the Moodyz Fresh label.
A slender body, pristine looks, and the ability to squirt immense fountains of shiofuki when she's aroused enough ...
Japan's biggest adult retailer and a porn producer in its own right (through the various production companies in its group), Soft on Demand is now going one step further.
Following in the footsteps of the Playboy bar in Kabukicho that is staffed by hot gravure idols, the SOD is opening the Soft on Demand Tachi Syain standing bar in Akihabara (apparently located "15 seconds' walk" from the Showa-dori Gate).
Patrons will be served by, you guessed it, actual Japanese adult video ...
New women debut in Japanese adult video every month. Many are actually nameless -- uncredited "extras" -- and some are actually just women who are now performing under a new name. A small minority are celebrities from another industry that are switching over, typically to the Muteki label.
But another set of women are those who make a genuine splash on their own merits, who stir up real buzz just for being hot and appearing in an exciting release.
Suzu Honjo was a recent example of this. Noa Takeuchi was, too, but then her AV releases literally disappeared from the shelves.
Saika Kawakita ...
The glory of Japanese television strikes again. From handjob karaoke contests to gravure idols stripping off samurai armor and filming behind the scenes at a nude photo shoot, there seems no end to the imaginations of producers.
This time, it was Wednesday's Downtown, a variety show on TBS presented by the comedy duo Downtown (Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada).
The gorgeous and decidedly busty gravure idol Fumina Suzuki was stripped naked and then wrapped in plastic for no reason other than to show off her breasts being squeezed by the tight layers of semi-transparent plastic. ...
