Saika Kawakita is one of the biggest porn stars in Japan and a probably familiar face to most readers of this blog. She has gained global fame more recently because a GIF from one of her porn productions inexplicably became a meme on social media in December 2024.
According to a scoop by the tabloid Weekly Bunshun published this week, the 26-year-old Kawakita is having an affair with volleyball player Ran Takahashi.
The 24-year-old Takahashi currently plays for the Suntory Sunbirds in Osaka, and has played on the Japanese national team.
He is supposed to be in a relationship with the ...
Ruka Aida (愛田るか) is a 53-year-old porn star and former stripper who debuted in 1995 and worked in the industry initially until 2004. She then made a comeback in 2006 from 2010, before doing sex work in Tokyo and Osaka. She made another triumphant comeback in April this year.
Over the course of her long career, the Hokkaido native has seen many trends come and go. The tabloid Spa! recently interviewed her and we have translated and edited some of the highlights.
She explains that her 1995 debut came about for very practical reasons.
"I wanted to earn money to cover moving costs. I ...
Since retiring from porn in August 2023, Yua Mikami has regularly stirred up controversy. Firstly by appearing to date two male singers at once. Secondly by pursuing her efforts to work in mainstream fashion through her own brand MISTREASS and by modeling for others, which some consider inappropriate given her previous line of work.
The 32-year-old YouTuber and celebrity will clearly do anything for a quick buck, including launching her own meme coin.
Her latest gig is serving as brand ambassador for papakatsu app mypappy, which she announced earlier this month. It has provoked a decidedly ...
The porn star Maria Nagai has announced her pregnancy. The 28-year-old JAV performer made the announcement on social media on October 4.
Reflecting her international following, she wrote in both Japanese and English: "As some of you may have already noticed, I'm blessed with a new life."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, she did not make public any information about the father of her child.
Known for her shapely thighs and H-cup bakunyu bust, Nagai has also worked under such names as Kurumi Kashiwagi, Nanoka Igawa, and Miu Onose.
She debuted in 2014. Nagai was born to a Japanese father and ...
Fans were delighted to see the return of Shoko Takahashi to the porn scene with her appearance in Macau over the weekend.
Takasho somewhat abruptly retired in 2022, seven years after her debut. She famously made the switch from regular gravure (where she worked as Shoko Takasaki) to adult video after her agency sacked her for getting caught doing compensated dating.
She appeared at PinkD! Entertainment Expo in Macau from September 26 to September 28. China and other parts of Asia are some of the biggest markets for Japanese porn, and performers often appear at such events outside ...
Now 33, Mio Oichi (音市美音) worked in the Japanese adult video industry from 2011 to 2012, and then again from 2014 to 2015, and a final time in 2018.
In a long and wide-ranging interview with Spa! earlier this month, she talked about her career and the difficulties she has faced as a former porn star. We've translated some highlights.
Her JAV career began in a fairly typical way.
"I was scouted when I made my debut. I was walking down the street when someone called out to me, and I went for an interview at an agency. I was young and interested in working in the entertainment ...
We all love Japanese porn stars. We all want to have sex with them.
But would you want to marry one?
Because of the nature of their profession, porn stars sometimes face discrimination when it comes to marriage, parenthood, and further career options.
Those who have tried to develop new careers in the public eye have suffered criticism, such as Yua Mikami for her modeling and fashion brand work, and those who have openly shared details about their marriages and children have also received abuse online.
On a recent episode of Abema's Hyena of Love, porn star Ai Sayama was shown discussing ...
Kanna Seto burst onto the Japanese adult video scene late last year and quickly made a huge impression with her girl-next-door face, pale skin, slim body, and huge breasts. It is a formidable combination and her debut attracted some of the biggest online attention we have seen in a long while.
Seto's career has gone from strength to strength, releasing 12 titles since then from S1 No. One Style and building a following both in Japan and in other parts of Asia.
The 21-year-old's first photo book came out from Shogakukan in January and she has at least three more AV titles scheduled ...
Many music idols have rules, explicit or implicit, that prevent them from having romantic or sexual relationships to keep up the pretense that fans have a chance of dating their favorite singer.
If you think music idols are not having sex, though, you've pretty naive, as the various dating "scandals" have demonstrated over the years.
Some idols are even more sexually active than you might suspect, including having secret porn careers.
Tsumugi Mugino was recently fired from the Hokkaido idol group Icecream Square after her alleged appearance in an "amateur" porn release came to ...
The backlash against former porn star Yua Mikami's attempts to build a mainstream career for herself in fashion has continued with viral and divisive criticism of her wearing a wedding dress.
Mikami was appearing as a guest at a public talk that was part of a boat racing event in Yamaguchi on July 27.
A twentysomething married woman who wanted to wear the same dress design for her bridal photos wrote a vitriolic post on X on July 27 about how her plans were no ruined by the ex-adult video performer. It got a surprising amount of attention (120.5 million views, 152,000 likes, and 3,3000 ...
