Disgraced gravure idol and now one of AV's top porn stars Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki has joined her fellow porn newcomer Yua Mikami (Momona Kito) for what must be the sexiest photo shoot of the year.
These nude shots, taken for Weekly Playboy in the autumn, really show off both their voluptuous bodies to the full.
What's more, in a more recent subsequent nude photo shoot the two were joined by none other than Mana Sakura, who is already a major star in her own right. There was even a 30-minute video to accompany the "lesbian threesome" shoot. And check out those stunning ...
We reported earlier this year about the AV debut of actress and model Anri Sakaguchi.
To appear in "What a day!!" the 25-year-old Sakaguchi (now going by just "Anri") is reportedly getting paid ¥120 million -- a suspiciously high figure considering she is a B-list celebrity.
She made her JAV debut on the Muteki label, which specializes in these kinds of career switchovers from gravure, music idol or mainstream entertainment. Past successes include with Yua Mikami/Momona Kito and Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki.
Most of these stars, though, do one or just a small number AV releases before ...
The Japanese porn industry is in trouble.
While we might spend much of our time on this blog singing its praises, the truth is this has been a bad year, full of accusations of coercion and trafficking of female performers.
We always knew it went on, especially towards the bottom end of the industry. Needless to say, the links between organized crime in Japan and other sections of society, such as big business, politics and mainstream entertainment, are well documented, and the idol and porn scenes are similarly connected.
These are social problems, though. What about financial ...
At the Japan Adult Expo 2016 on November 10th-11th, around 4,000 people attended, including many Japanese AV fans from other parts of Asia.
Held for the third time, the event features 200 AV makers and studios, and offers a great opportunity for fans to get close to their adult idols.
At the booth for Aroma Kikaku, which specializes in fetishes, Hibiki Otsuki was there to welcome fans.
KMP had the likes of Ayaka Tomoda and friends were on hand to pose for pictures.
Echoing the biggest adult trend of the year, Total Media Agency (TMA) -- despite the name, it's ...
Just when you think Japanese AV cannot get any weirder. Just when you think they've come up with all the outlandish scenarios imaginable. Along comes another one to set your mind blazing at the crazy erotic possibilities.
The folks behind this concept deserve some sort of award, because this is awesome.
We all liked to play on jungle gyms when we were kids. But what about a vibrator jungle gym?
As the name suggests, this is a jungle gym constructed entirely out of massager wand-style vibrators (called a denma in Japan) -- 250 of them, to be precise. That's a lot of ...
Over the weekend, Halloween was even more of a crazy street party than last year. Though rain made Friday a wash-out, Saturday saw Shibuya transform into a veritable carnival of cosplay and costumes, almost all of which seemed to have nothing to do with Halloween in the traditional sense and more to do with looking wild or sexy. And there's nought wrong with that, my friends.
All these thousands of people assembling in Shibuya for one night only does create one annoying byproduct, though: trash, and lots of it.
To help deal with the problem, AV retailer and producer Soft on Demand (SOD) ...
Earlier this year Weekly Playboy already organized one of the best photo shoots ever when they brought together 50 gravure idols in one studio.
As part of its 50th-anniversary celebrations the magazine also put up a billboard in Shinjuku with life-sized images of top models.
Now the generous editors have followed up with 51 Japanese porn stars, all lined up naked in one mega assembly.
Sadly the nipples and pussie are censored for the online version (the print edition, maybe not so). What's the point of getting all this flesh together if you're not going to show it?!
We ...
The latest big porn debut is another lady who is switching from mainstream entertain to AV.
The actress and model Anri Sakaguchi released What a day!! on the Muteki label this month, which specializes in crossover debuts.
Sakaguchi is the daughter of the late actress Ryoko Sakaguchi and golfer Tateo Ozaki. The 25-year-old apparently has large debts and has been forced to turn to porn to make ends meet.
The first pictures from Sakaguchi's release have now emerged, showing her nipples and tits that are on the modest yet pointy side.
It has been reported that her fee is ¥120 million, ...
Adult retail giant DMM.com announced on September 7th that it would no longer sell content in which performers are under 18 years of age.
This will apply to "image video" DVDs and so on featuring idols and tarento.
DMM also said that since July 25th it had stopped selling adult content that had not been screened by industry bodies like the euphemistically named Intellectual Property Promotion Association (IPPA). Moreover, it said that it had never sold any pornography involving performers under the age of 18.
DMM also said that the non-adult DVDs featuring performers under the age of ...
Shoko Takahashi (aka Shoko Takasaki) has been making an impression with her new AV release, her first on the Moodyz label after her spectacular debut for Muteki earlier this year.
The beach-set "G-cup Perfect Body Celebrity Shoko Takahashi" was released on September 1st and makes ample use of the star's signature bust -- and her radiant smile. After all, no bikini is big enough to keep those breasts under wraps for long.
It's a whopping 165 minutes long, so expect plenty of gratuitous swimwear shots and more.
Moodyz are really capitalizing on ...
