It's often the case the Japanese porn stars that are huge in China, Taiwan or Korea are not necessarily the biggest stars back home in Japan. Sora Aoi is one famous example -- a star at home but a mega-star abroad.
Yet it's rare for any gravure idol or porn star to make it big in Europe or America beyond the radar of hardcore Japanese or Yellow Fever fans.
But one lady is bucking the trend.
Marica Hase (or Marika Hase) (長谷真理香) made the leap over the waters to America in 2012 and hasn't looked back since. She appeared in Penthouse in January 2013 and now makes around 15 ...
Last week we went for the young, thin and slinky Rina Koike. Here's a different kind of Japanese beauty.
Our sumptuous specimen of Japanese femininity is the curvy and busty Asami Sakanoue (坂ノ上 朝美). Born in 1988, she officially retired at the end of December. Along the way she tried her hand at being a gravure idol, actress, and TV presenter.
While sadly she never reached the heights of some of the other girls we have featured on these pages over the years, she is still in our humble opinions quite a special lady...for obvious reasons!
Asami Sakanoue also did a hair nude ...
Our adorable girl this week is the young Rina Koike (小池里奈). Born in 1993, Rina is a nubile 20 years old and a fruit that is ripe for plucking.
A slender frame, a sweet face and a slinky butt... This is too much for us! Rina isn't much known outside of gravure circles right now but we hope this will change with time.
She has done a bit of acting, though her talents tend to lie in looking alluring and innocent at the same time (such a Japanese ...
Our Gravure idol this week is Izumi Hinata. Born in 1990, the slinky Izumi Hinata (日向泉) also goes by the professional name Hazuki Aoi (蒼井葉月). (These kind of name changes are usually the result of changing agency.) Whatever you call her, she is super ...
Our slinky maiden this week is Ai Okawa (大川藍).
Ai Okawa was born in 1993 and is a gravure model and fashion model. She has modeled for lingerie brand Peach John, whose taste in Japanese girls we know is second to none in hotness.
She is a member of the idol group ...
The sweet 26-year-old Hatsune Matsushima (松嶋初音), known by the nickname Hachu, was born in 1987.
Her cute aura combines with a pure eroticism that is at once fragile but compelling.
Okay, enough poetry. Here are the ...
Where to start with a girl like Kyoko?
Kyoko Fukada (深田恭子), born 1982, is an actress, model and sometime singer, known for her cute looks and very nice chest.
Though she has gone way beyond the age of most active gravure idols, she still maintains her popularity with the boys and the girls with her maturing looks and ravishing body. Recent photo shoots are ample evidence of this.
We've included a good selection of some older as well as recent pictures here.
Still ...
Which Japanese porn stars have appeared in the most films?
April 30, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
This is a question we often ask ourselves about Japanese pornography.
With tens of thousands of actresses working in the industry, said to be the biggest in the world, which star has appeared in the most titles?
Apparently we weren't alone in wondering this, since some Japanese netizens have done the maths. Naturally the results steer older since the longer a career, the more titles you would have under your belt... though we never have any objections to a sexy Japanese MILF or two!
1. Yumi Kazuma (1,646 films)
2. Tsubomi (1,370 films)
3. Rio Hamasaki (1,201 films)
4. Reiko ...
V6’s Go Morita dating Japanese porn star Alice Miyuki
April 25, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
We all dream of sleeping with or dating a porn star. Some people get to do it for real.
V6 is a Japanese male idol group whose primary job these days is to have sex with Japan's top female celebrities. Hard work if you can get it.
Go Morita (35) has been snapped with his latest conquest and one that is said to be more serious than usual. In fact, Morita is said to almost be living with porn star Alice Miyuki (26) after a year-long romance.
However, given Morita's status as a male idol, what will his young female fans think of a relationship of a woman who is so free with her ...
Our cutie this week is Sayaka Ohnuki (大貫彩香).
The gymnastic sexpot was born in 1992... But other than that, Sayaka is one of those Gravure idols who has released many DVDs and appeared in countless photo shoots, but which almost nothing is known about her.
Still, that being said, we like what we ...
