Last month, news broke that former AKB48 member Marie Watanabe had appeared in porn as an "amateur" (shiroto) performer. Though she graduated from AKB48 way back in 2007 and actually made very few professional concert appearances with the music group, local netizens were still very excited by what they saw of Watanabe in action -- not least the thrill of yet another AKB idol getting down and dirty. The buzz was so strong that it seems she was approached by porn producers to do more. Now performing under the new professional name of Nana Mizushima, Watanabe will make her official AV ...

We wrote last week about the rumors that Saki Sudo, the 22-year-old wife of recently deceased 77-year-old Kosuke "Don Juan" Nozaki, had a past porn career as an "amateur performer." Now further proof has emerged. Again appearing under the name of Yurika, netizens have dug up another entry in her catalog of JAV credits. Titled simply "Yurika" (GAREA451 or 241GAREA-381), the 104-minute was released by the G-AREA porn label in January or February 2018 -- just before Sudo tied the knot with Nozaki in February. Intense tabloid media and online interest in Sudo and her involvement with the late ...

Say your thanks to the 8 million gods of Shinto. The latest major adult video debut is an idol with a distinctly Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Harajuku vibe. @yano_purple, as she is known, has purple dyed hair and sweet looks. She might be one of the young girls you see in outrageously colorful clothes and cosplay on the streets of Harajuku or Shibuya. Luckily for us she got scouted and tempted into a porn career. "Estimated" (as the marketing phrases it) to be 20 years old, she's making debut this month with a 126-minute release (1KMHR00039) from SOD Create. The AV has a threesome theme and in ...

It's almost summer -- so what better time to share an adult video debut by a stunning H-cup college student with an extreme tan line? Rina Minami is meant to be 20 years old and a college student. We'll leave doubts about the veracity of these details to one side for a moment, since she has plenty of other assets that should provide more than enough distractions. In April, she recently made her porn debut on the suitably named Oppai label with a 149-minute release (PPPD00659). While she's probably not what you would call a gyaru exactly, her tan line is pretty crazy. Her breasts and ...

Japanese netizens with beady eyes and dirty imaginations are speculating that former AKB48 idol Marie Watanabe and now dokusha model ("reader model") had a career as an amateur porn star. Such "shiroto" adult video releases are, of course, professional but they are filmed in such a way that they look like a woman is being picked up off the street. Performers are often inexperienced or first-timers. Given the pedigree of Yua Mikami (formerly Momona Kito) and various others, Marie Watanabe would hardly be the first AKB or related music group idol to work in adult video. She actually joins a ...

Each month, many women debut in adult video to different levels of hype and fanfare. Just as many quickly disappear after their contracts end or resurface under a new performer name. But surely this young lady is set to be one of the biggest stars in Japanese pornography? The angelic-looking Mahiro Tadai (唯井まひろ) will make her debut in adult video with a new title released on SOD Star on June 7th. Born in March 2000, Mahiro Tadaima is a mere 18 years old. Doesn't that make you feel old?! The 180-minute video is rather unoriginally called "Mahiro Tadaima 18 Years Old AV ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
