When is big too big? Last week, we reported on the porn debut of Kaira Haneda, who has a whopping K-cup bust, and very finely shapely and colored too.
Now netizens in Japan are talking excitedly about the breasts of adult video star Ako Kimura (木村愛心), a 29-year-old performer whose JAV debut was in May 2025 from S1 No. 1 Style.
Her breasts are a jaw-dropping L cup and their sheer size and heft suggests you can have too much of a good thing.
The fetish subculture of bakunyu (literally, explosive breasts) was named precisely for such tits.
Her 17th release was just announced by ...
One the best porn debuts in Japan this month is by Kaira Haneda in a release from Madonna, which specializes in adult video productions featuring older performers.
Haneda is meant to be a former member of the entertainment industry (so, either an actress or model) who retired four years ago. She married and moved overseas for her husband's work, but their sex life has apparently dried up and she is keen to satisfy her desires in other ways. Haneda is now 34 years old and making her JAV debut as an older performer in a 120-minute release (JUR-839).
Of course, there's a lot of ...
To remember the former porn star Tsubomi is to go back to what now seems like a veritable golden age of adult video, a more innocent time of JAV before the restrictive new legislation came in and the coercion scandals that have blackened the industry.
Tsubomi was a Lolita-style performer who made her debut in 2006 at the age of 18. She had already appeared in 1,000 releases by 2012.
We actually assumed she had retired in the 2010s, but it seems she did not officially leave the industry until late 2022, making her career one of the longest in recent memory.
Known as Tsubomin to her fans, ...
What happens when porn stars retire? Most disappear into obscurity after a short career in a highly competitive industry, probably earning money by hostessing, compensated dating, and sex work. A small number are able to switch gears to an adjacent career, such as acting or modeling (such as Yua Mikami). And there are interesting examples of JAV stars who switch to a wholly different occupation, like Hiyori Yoshioka, who works at a sexual health clinic.
We have chronicled various examples of these post-idol careers over the years, and another interesting one recently came across our ...
Kyoko Ichikawa announced her retirement from Japanese adult video on July 8 but has since followed up with further messages on social media.
The 45-year-old said: "I've recently observed information being spread about my workplace and private life, as well as malicious direct messages and harassing behavior." She warned, "I will keep evidence concerning the spread of false information, invasions of privacy, and defamation, and will take appropriate action, including legal measures, where necessary." She concluded by thanking her fans for their support. "I apologize for any concern this may ...
The Japanese porn star Sumire Mizukawa has announced her marriage.
The internationally active adult video performer, who is known professionally overseas as Emiri Momota, shared the big news via her Instagram account on July 9 with a series of photos of her and her husband, and the ironic caption: "Sorry . . . officially sold out."
The photos show Mizukawa in a series of wedding dresses and were presumably taken at a hotel or wedding party venue. They also feature the couple's rings and Mizukawa posing with a "just married" cake.
She hasn't released any details about her new husband, ...
Nanami Matsumoto debuted as a gravure idol in 2015. After gaining popularity thanks to her I-cup, 100 cm bust, she transitioned into the adult film industry in March 2017.
On January 5, 2026, she announced via social media that she had left her agency and was going freelance. The following week, she also announced her retirement from mainstream porn.
Spa! sat down with 31-year-old Matsumoto for a candid interview about her life, including the accounting job she has held concurrently for years, her private life and dating, and her future plans.
We translated a few edited highlights.
Q. You ...
The Japanese porn star Riko Hoshino has announced her return to work after undergoing treatment for an adjustment disorder.
"I will resume my activities in mid-August and strive to meet everyone's expectations in the best possible way, while approaching each and every job with a sincere heart," she wrote in a statement released on social media.
In mid-June, we shared the news that the 27-year-old had been diagnosed with an adjustment disorder and was undergoing treatment.
Her mental health struggles were affecting her ability to promote her fifth print photo book, with events at bookstores ...
MYLORD was one of the iconic parts of the Shinjuku retail landscape from 1984 to 2025. The somewhat dubiously named mall mostly housed apparel shops, frequented by young women and staffed by the same demographic.
After MYLORD closed, many lamented what would replace it -- and it seems that some of the women who worked there have moved into a very different industry. Or at least one has.
Hinako Tomine (東峯日奈子) is a new Japanese adult video star who makes her porn debut with a release from E-Body that came out June 26. The 148-minute release (OFES-032) emphasizes Tomine's H-cup ...
A few years ago, what seemed to be a sexual assault openly taking place on the streets of Shibuya during the Halloween cosplay party turned out to be an adult video production being film guerrilla-style among the actual crowds of bystanders.
Ah, those were the glory days before the pandemic and a crackdown destroyed Halloween in Shibuya, and before new porn legislation imposed stricter rules that have greatly increased production schedules.
Nonetheless, some bold types working in JAV still try their luck with seat-of-the-pants productions and edgy stunts, but the consequences are sometimes ...
