Another minor Japanese music idol makes her porn debut
While most recent news about Japanese porn has been dominated by the very welcome return of Asahi Mizuno, we wanted to highlight another example we found that shows how part of the industry operates.
Once again, a minor idol from a group relatively unknown in the mainstream has been persuaded to switch from music to porn.
In this case, it’s 19-year-old Sayaka Takayama (高山さやか), formerly of Girl’s Horizon (aka Garuhora), who has made her AV debut under the name Nana Yaotome (八乙女なな) mere weeks after leaving the group.
The 180-minute release (MIFD00140) comes out on December 13 via the always-reliable Moodyz, a label that specializes in such crossover debuts and has helped launch a fair few careers in this way (not least Shoko Takahashi and Yua Mikami’s).
Takayama was a member of Girl’s Horizon from September 2018 to November 2020.
While Takayama/Yaotome is unlikely to enjoy a career as illustrious as Asahi Mizuno, we introduce her debut here to show once more the fluid intersection that exists between Japanese porn and idols (especially music or chika/underground idols, though also sometimes gravure idols).
