Japanese porn parodies are two a penny. Every few weeks seems to offer up yet another colorful AV parody of a franchise or real-life incident. We reported on the new Frieren: Beyond Journey's End porn parody last week, for example. But though at times inventive or even provocative, these parodies tend to have lowish production values and, let's be honest, are basically a cash grab. And so people have reacted with surprise at the high quality of the porn parody of My Dress-Up Darling (その着せ替え人形は恋をする), a manga, anime, and (since this month) TV drama on MBS, because ...

Mana Sakura was recently admitted to hospital, suffering from pneumonia. When Sakura shared news about her health on social media earlier this month, it sparked a lot of unfounded online speculation that she found offensive. Some netizens even claimed that she had AIDS. Sakura has reacted with fury to these allegations, issuing the corrective and promising to consult with her agency about launching a lawsuit against the people who spread the rumors about her having AIDS. The 31-year-old Sakura, who is also a novelist (four and counting, and one was adapted into a movie) and director, is ...

We could, if we were so willing, fill the digital pages of this blog solely with news about porn debuts. After all, incredible woman make incredible debuts in the JAV industry basically every week. That would probably be as exhausting as it would be exhaustive, but we hope you'll forgive us from indulging this temptation a bit, a mere two days after we reported on the porn debut of former Malcolm Mask McLaren idol mone as Tomo Shiraiwa. Because frankly, we think this one looks awesome. Yui Sayama (佐山由依) debuts this week for E-Body in a 163-minute release (EBWH00168) directed by ...

Malcolm Mask McLaren is a punk rock idol group in Japan with one of the most bizarre names there is. It originally formed in 2015 and the lineup fully disbanded in April 2023. The group subsequently relaunched with an entirely new lineup of members in May 2023, but one former idol in the group, mone, has decided to start a very different career: as a porn star. Mone was a member of Malcolm Mask McLaren from March 2016 to September 2018, singing vocals on the first three singles as well as the eventual album at the end of 2016. She is now making her adult video debut as Tomo Shiraiwa ...

We recently wrote about an inventive porn parody of a long-running horror movie franchise. Sometimes these parodies go beyond the cheeky and amusing, and are brazen or even legally dubious. A porn parodying the DJ Soda groping incident was ultimately pulled from release after an outcry. The Japanese adult video industry's latest target for parody is the popular manga and anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a franchise that is also increasingly famous overseas. Called Premature Ejaculation Free Rental Pussy (早漏のフリーレンタルマ〇コ), which in Japanese is read similar to ...

After they retire, most JAV porn stars disappear into obscurity, though a prominent handful have remained in the public eye in other roles, such as writers and photographers. Yua Mikami is pursuing a career in modeling and apparel, though has faced some criticism over her association with other brands, and former adult video star Minami Aizawa recently announced she would no longer use her performer name in her post-JAV career. Among the many things that porn stars have expertise at, understanding about hygiene, physical health, and STDs and STIs surely ranks near the top. As regular ...

Back in May, we reported on the shocking arrest of the incredibly popular Japanese OnlyFans adult creator Naomiii. The performer was likely a victim of her own success, which got her noticed by authorities and who found a way to nab her on obscenity charges. The 32-year-old adored by millions for her sensually curvy body and perfectly shaped labia was arrested with Nobutoshi Kiri, who helped make her videos and upload them. The "amateur" porn (shot in 4K) the pair made was actually very high quality but the uncensored content was what attracted police attention. Most people reacted with ...

Our last post was about the successful, high-profile porn star Ai Hongo's unfortunate sex scandal that has forced her suspend her career. While we will miss the slinky Ai Hongo, the truth is that there are lots of fine ladies out there vying to take her place in the Japanese adult video industry. New performers make their debuts every week. One who has caught our eye this month is Ito Asahi (朝陽いと), a busty former music idol who has made the switch to porn with her first release on Moodyz. Her debut (MIFD00518), a 118-minute release, came out on September 13. It makes a lot of ...

The Japanese adult video industry loves to parody other cultural productions or topical events, as we have covered numerous times here. Past examples include pastiches of Demon Slayer, Joker, and Ultraman. These do go too far sometimes. One parody porn inspired by the DJ groping incident was ultimately not released, perhaps for fear of legal reprisals from the Korean celebrity's side. A porn based on a women's support group (and anti-feminist sentiment toward it by male netizens) was likewise very controversial last October. The parody of the Maho Yamaguchi assault incident also had a ...

Who do porn stars like to date? And does intimacy with their romantic partners feel special or, as the British say, like taking a busman's holiday? These are the kinds of questions that addle us to Tokyo Kinky. We have seen ample evidence that Japanese porn stars like to date comedians and pop stars. Shunka Ayami is apparently dating a singer, while Yua Mikami is or was allegedly dating two singers at once (well, it's hardly the first time that she's had more than one sexual partner at the same time). AV stars to fall for comedians include Suzume Mino, Makoto Yuuki, and Runa ...
