A porn parody of Strange Houses, the hugely successful franchise created by the writer and YouTuber Uketsu, has been abruptly canceled before its release.
Strange Houses is a series of YouTube videos, several bestselling novels and books, a manga, and a hit movie. The books have been translated into such languages as English and French.
A porn parody, Strange Penis, was set for release from KM Produce featuring a female performer in a black sheer bodystocking, her face covered in white and only her mouth visible. This is clearly mimicking the unique look of Uketsu himself, who keeps his ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Joshi Spa! recently interviewed the adult video performer Mana Sakura as she reaches a milestone.
In addition to being a porn star, Mana Sakura is a novelist, most famously writing stories based in her experiences in the industry. Her latest novel, Child Substitute, came out in February and is about pregnancy and childbirth. It marks a decade since her literary debut.
Though her porn output has heavily decreased (even if she does have a new SOD Star release out later this month), the 33-year-old Sakura has not officially retired, and has now been a firm part of the industry for an ...
Porn star Minamo continues amazing modeling campaign for Ravijour lingerie

/ Tadashi Anahori
While Japanese porn stars are often described euphemistically in the mainstream media as "sexy actresses," major apparel brands think nothing of hiring adult video performers to front campaigns for them (though this is not without some controversy).
And so we have Minamo modeling for top lingerie brand Ravijour.
This is not a new campaign per se. The 25-year-old JAV superstar has been modeling for Ravijour since at least 2023, as we gleefully reported at the time.
Originally a gravure star who worked under the name Shizuku Taiyo, the mononymous stunner made her porn debut in 2021 and ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Rarely have we seen a debut like it. In early 2025, Kanna Seto burst onto the Japanese adult video industry scene and immediately made her mark with those huge breasts, girl-next-door looks, pale skin, and slim body.
Fans instantly hailed her incredible combination of come-hither sexual allure and sweet, natural beauty, to say nothing of her J-cup breasts.
Incredibly, the Kanagawa native is still just 21 years old. She made her gravure debut in autumn 2024 with a swimwear shoot for Weekly Post, quickly followed by her first AV in January 2025.
She has already released two print photo ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
Gendai Business recently published a two-part in-depth interview with three Japanese adult video stars: Riho Shishido, Rena Momozono, and Uta Miyoshi.
We have translated and edited some highlights from the interview.
The article focuses on these three porn stars as examples of young women who went to prestigious universities (of which there are quite a few) but chose to embark upon a different career path to their paths. Instead of a bank or trading company, they elected to enter the competitive and grueling AV industry.
Shishido (24) and Momozono (29) are already veterans, but Miyoshi ...

Porn star Karin Kitaoka has sex with chair in new AV release
February 26, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
It's even a really original and kinky scenario, or a desperate attempt to make a hit on a low budget.
The latest Japanese adult video release by Karin Kitaoka sees her play a schoolgirl who is so horny that she has sex with a chair. That's pretty much the whole setup. But it's a good one.
School is over. She's in the classroom, feeling all horny and hormonal, and she starts to pretend she's kissing a male classmate and licks her chair and desk, which eventually evolves into full-on intimacy with the furniture.
She begins with a recorder, which is naturally uses to probe her vagina. ...
