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 ...
She's back.
We're delighted to welcome the return of Haruka Kodama, who has done her first gravure photo shoot in two years.
She appears on the cover of the October 15 issue of weekly magazine Flash. The swimwear-themed shoot features the model and actress lounging around a sunny pool and making us whistful about the hot summer that has just finished (though it's still T-shirt weather here in Tokyo).
Alongside her debut cover for the magazine, Flash has also released two digital photo books. Do you want Haruka Kodama in bed or by the pool?
Haruppi will apparently appear in ...
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 ...
Top model and actress Haruka Ayase is reportedly dating a much younger male singer and actor.
According to tabloid reports, Ayase (39) is in a relationship with Jesse Lewis (28), who, despite the name, is a Japanese singer with the group SixTones.
The pair reportedly visited Las Vegas together this month. Lewis's father is from Las Vegas and the tabloids have interpreted this as meaning he took Ayase "home" to introduce her to his parents.
News about the relationship has had a mixed reaction from the public, some of whom are surprised at the age gap. However, we rarely blink twice if a male ...
Earlier in the year, we reported on former HKT48 idol Miku Tanaka's attempts to sex up her image and establish her credentials as an actor with a role in the TV drama Cinderella Complex that involved a steamy sex scene.
She stopped short of doing actual nudity, which doesn't surprise us, but Miku Tanaka seems to be continuing this strategy with a new shoot that is probably her most explicit to date.
She does the "hand bra" (tebura) pose, which has become a trope (and almost a cliché) of gravure semi-nude shoots. But who's complaining when the results look this good, with Miku Tanaka's ...
Former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has posed semi-nude for a series of lavishly shot pictures in her debut photo book
Released in Japan on September 11 and with a seaside and marine theme, Kitano's photo book is teasingly titled Want to Try Touching?.
Such semi-nude shoots and photo books have become common for the more adventurous music idols looking to boost their careers, but this one is especially sensual and revealing, with pretty much the whole of her body on display and her modesty only barely preserved by a crossed legs and crossed arms in the classic "hand bra" (tebura) ...
A music idol has been punished for having a boyfriend (and presumably having sex with him) by being forced to post pictures of herself every night to prove she is alone.
Momoka Tojo of girl group Katacoto Bank recently turned 20 but photos of her celebrating her birthday last month with a young man, which she posted herself, quickly attracted the shock and ire of fans.
In response, Tojo quickly deleted the pictures, and the seven-member group (active since 2021), which is stylized KATACOTO * BANK, announced on July 27 that Tojo has promised to "maintain a measure of distance from her ...
Karen Ishida (石田佳蓮) is to make her porn debut next month. The former Idoling!!! member will release her first adult video on Muteki, which specializes in debuts by crossover talent, on September 3.
Idoling!!! was a Japanese TV show and female music idol group active from the mid-2000s to 2015. Ishida was a member of the "fifth generation" of members from 2012. Past members include Nao Asahi, Yurika Tachibana, Erika Tonooka, Rurika Yokoyama, Ami Kikuchi, Ai Okawa, Rena Sato, Suzuka Morita, and the long-tongued Michaela Wako Sato. Many have enjoyed careers in gravure.
The ...
The former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has announced her first photo book.
The 25-year-old Gifu native's debut publication will come out in Japan on September 11.
Known for her girl-next-door looks, Kitano is attempting something of an image change by posing naked, with her modesty protected only by her carefully and alluringly placed arms across her chest.
Kitano was a member of the Nagoya-based group from 2014 until the end of June this year and is clearly hoping to capitalize on her fandom's demand for pics of her and her body.
The as-yet-untitled book will only be semi-nude but if the ...
The casting couch is one of the biggest open secrets in the Japanese entertainment world.
Abuse and sexual harassment of voice actors, fashion models, and gravure idols has recently gained a lot of attention.
The general acting world is also very belatedly having a sort of MeToo moment with the exposure of male sex predators. The director Hideo Sakaki, for instance, has just been arrested for the fourth time. On the other hand, perhaps we still have some ways to go: the director of the new film adaptation of manga Sensei's Pious Lie sparked headlines when he said he rejected the lead ...
