Japanese AV porn star Nozomi Aso arrested on drug charges
Japanese porn star Nozomi Aso has been arrested on drug charges, according to the July 21st Shukan Jitsuwa weekly tabloid that went on sale today.
The 27-year-old AV star is a graduate of Senshu University and made her debut in 2012. She left Soft on Demand in 2014 and then joined MAXING. Since then she has switched again to chacha promotion. She appeared in many releases in 2015 and 2016. One of her films from December last year was aptly called “Fucking Machine Sex Nozomi Aso”. As well as enjoying commercial success in Japan, the slender actress with a G-cup is also popular in China. She appeared in the Hong Kong film Naked Ambition 2, released in 2014.
According to the Shukan Jitsuwa, she was arrested when drugs were confiscated from her apartment last month. Why police searched her apartment is currently unknown. Perhaps they got a tip-off, but then who had Nozomi Aso annoyed to justify such a targeting?
On her official Twitter feed, the last post is from June 19th.
As we know, drugs are rife in both the mainstream entertainment world, as the recent arrest of Noboru Takachi showed, as well as the gravure and music idol scene. Needless to say, hostesses and AV stars are also often users of recreational drugs, not surprisingly given that their lifestyles are so closely linked to organized crime.
Previously Minako Komukai was arrested on drug charges, and then became a stripper and porn star. However, we cannot think of a recent porn star of Nozomi Aso’s fame who was ever arrested for drugs, making this a not inconsiderable scandal. The mainstream porn world is bound by the rules of the market and is controlled by several large companies and studios like Soft on Demand, much like the regular entertainment agencies. While there is a lot of dubious activities that go on behind the scenes, including coercion and trafficking, on the surface the industry operates like any other respectable one.
