Like us, you may have noticed that Japanese porn star and stripper Urara Uraraka (うららか麗) had been quieter of late, both in terms of AV releases and her social media output.
In fact, she had retired from adult video and the nominal reason came out on November 3: she's now pregnant, due to give birth very soon.
And she's sensibly capitalizing on her new physical circumstances to make a nude photo book with shots of her pregnant body, which she is selling to fans online. Given how many tattoos she famously has on her body, we can only imagine how hot she now looks while ...
We normally find ourselves writing with glee about Japanese adult video's penchant for parody, in which the industry often reacts very quickly to events and cultural phenomena with pastiche porn par excellence.
But this time, JAV was beaten to the punch by porn makers in Taiwan.
Netflix's Korean hit Squid Game, whose sex scenes we have written about, has now inspired a porn rip-off on the East Asian island nation.
Details are slim, though news about the upcoming porn release is spreading online for the past week or so. With the original drama's themes of punishment and torture, it's ripe ...
We have by now learned to accept the innate contradiction that exists at the heart of Japanese porn: that the country has one of the largest, most varied industries in the world, and yet it also adheres to an interpretation of a century-plus-old obscenity law that says you cannot show genitalia. Hence JAV always has "mosaic" -- pixellation of the penis and vagina.
We have gotten used to this and no longer find it distracting, nor do we think it actually obscures the really important stuff (i.e., the beautiful face and body of the porn star).
Others, though, disagree and there exist ...
Comedian Sanma Akashiya is up to his old tricks again, if reports in the Japanese media are to be believed. Known for his success with the ladies even in his fifties and sixties, Akashiya has previously been linked with porn stars Eririka Katagiri and Makoto Yuuki.
Now comes a report that Akashiya, who is 66, took out porn star Kana Momonogi for dinner, ostensibly to "celebrate her success." He was an admirer and got connected with the 24-year-old through a personal contact.
The result was an intimate dinner between just the two of them for two and a half hours. So if you're rich, famous, ...
The Japanese YouTuber Powerful Rumi (ぱわふるみ), known for her bakunyu "explosive" breasts, is to make her JAV porn debut as Mirai Asumi (明日見未来).
Rumi, whose channel has 140,000 subscribers on YouTube, is known for her videos where largely does various provocative things while dressed in loose-fitting loungewear. She always wears a face mask to protect her identity, though she is clearly hot (masks have the effect of accentuating a woman's eyes, making them popular even pre-pandemic).
Many, if not most, are shot in her home but she also sometimes ventures outdoors, like ...
We recently reported on the porn debut of name-changing idol Sarina Toyama, aka Sarina Haru, and now working in JAV as Meisa Nishimoto.
Apparently still an active member of the idol group Once a Chance (which just celebrated its first live music event), Nishimoto is also a porn star, a new career that she launched with a full-frontal nude photo shoot a few weeks ago.
Soon after, we got confirmation of her first release (STARSBD-462), which comes out via SOD Star later in October.
Now we finally have some proper preview pictures to share.
The release looks like a standard fuck-on-a-bed ...
In early 2020, we shared the news about the porn debut of Rumina Yuki, the former beauty queen at the prestigious Gakushuin University.
It seems that Rumina Yuki, whose real name is Kanako Asakura, continued her career in porn and released more videos as well as appear in many semi-nude and nude shoots for weekly magazines. She eventually became attached to the Prestige label and released a photo book in February of this year.
But now aged 26, Rumina was apparently associating with the wrong kind of men and struggling to cope with her newfound path in porn. As reported by a tabloid ...
As one of the most popular adult video stars in Japan and the originator of a whole line of adult toys, Eimi Fukada is a woman who knows about sex.
And she's also a generous soul who wants to share her insights with the general public.
She is also one of the most active JAV stars on YouTube and recently released a new video titled (roughly) "Intercourse to Get Your Partner Hooked on You."
Yes, in the eight-minute video, Eimi -- dressed more like a sophisticated office lady you may spot shopping in Daikanyama than a porn star -- gives us the lowdown on how to make a female partner really ...
A few months ago, we reported on the exciting news that shibari rope bondage master Hajime Kinoko was creating and selling an augmented reality art installation as an NFT.
Well, the NFT boom shows no signs of abating just yet, and others are jumping on the bandwagon.
And by others, we mean none other than top Japanese porn star Yua Mikami, who has announced a new project: your NFT.
To mark her twenty-eighth birthday, August 16, Yua has collaborated with famed Japanese art director Gugi Akiyama and photographer Yasunari Kikuma to take a special photograph.
She will then sell 28 images ...
What to do when your career as a weather forecaster is faltering? Strip off for a weekly magazine, it seems.
Well, it's hard to say what the precise motives are for Mian Shirasaka (白坂みあん), the 21-year-old beauty who holds a qualification as a weather forecaster (often held by weather presenters) and whose meteorological broadcasting career is surely just starting.
But that hasn't stopped her from moving to her backup plan, which was apparently not only trying her hand at gravure but at a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot as well. Talk about jumping in at the deep end.
The shoot is ...
