Lots of women make their debuts in the Japanese adult video industry to relatively minor fanfare. After all, it's a crowded market. If they are lucky, newcomers get a big marketing push and it helps boost their career prospects. And if you are someone making a well-publicized switch from another career -- music idol, gradol, acting, TV presenting -- you are guaranteed extra publicity.
But it's rare for porn producers to have so much faith in their new star that they even create a sex toy to accompany her debut release.
That's what's happened with Runa Hotsuki (朋月るな), whose ...
Former gravure idol Inori Fukazawa starts 2020 with adult video debut
December 4, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Another week, another exciting AV debut. This time it is the busty Inori Fukazawa, apparently a former gravure idol, who will release her first porn video on New Year's Day.
Start 2020 off with a bang by watching Inori getting, well, banged.
The 150-minute release (MIFD094) from Moodyz sees Inori getting screwed by a couple of guys. Judging from the preview images, she has two cocks to deal with at one point and at another is sucking a lucky guy off while her face is covered by a serious coating of cum. Now that's what we call celebrating the New Year.
The publicity ...
Groped Japanese porn star was filming new adult video on streets of Shibuya during Halloween
November 27, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
We recently reported on the alleged assault on a Japanese porn star on the streets of Shibuya during the Halloween cosplay party. While we don't have any further details on the groping that was witnessed and filmed, we do know now why the porn star was there in the first place -- and why she was so keen to announce to her followers on social media that she was going.
It turns out that Kanon Kanade (奏音かのん) was actually promoting an adult video release that she filmed guerrilla-style partly on the streets of Shibuya.
Whether or not the groping was a staged part of this, or just an ...
We recently reported with glee about the porn comeback of Shion Utsunomiya, going through yet another name change to become Rara Anzai (again).
That alone is more than enough news to brighten up our November and clear away those autumnal clouds. But then there's this.
The J-cup goddess has gone and got her you-know-what cloned and replicated as a masturbator toy.
The Japanese Real Hole Indecent Rara Anzai is the latest in a successful series of toys by EXE and S1, all based on famous adult video stars.
While we are still waiting for an oppai bust toy that replicates Shion's ...
J-cup Japanese porn stunner Rion (Shion Utsunomiya) makes comeback as Rara Anzai
November 8, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
She's back.
Long-rumored to have retired after 75 titles to her name, the mega-busted (sometimes reported as G-cup, sometimes J-cup) porn goddess Rion will return with another adult video release. And she has another name -- kind of. In fact, she has gone back to performing as Rara Anzai (安齋らら).
As fans will know, the 1994-born stunner debuted as Shion Utsunomiya in September 2013. She then released a nude photo book, "Hello, Goodbye," as Rara Anzai and her fame continued to grow -- especially in Korea, where she is one of the most popular porn stars.
She then changed names again ...
Japanese porn star ventures to Shibuya Halloween street party, gets groped
November 4, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
The growing popularity of Halloween in Japan has resulted in massive street cosplay parties, particularly in areas like Shibuya in Tokyo.
That have been adverse effects, too, which is almost inevitable when so many thousands of (mostly young) people come together. Last year, in particular, seemed like a turning point when a truck was turned over in Shibuya by drunken revellers. Some used the street parties as a mere excuse to grope women or take panchira underskirt photos.
This year's Halloween in Shibuya was crazily crowded but a little more subdued, with tighter police controls back again ...
Porn star Mion Sonoda to retire in October for health reasons
September 27, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
One of Japan's top adult video idols, Mion Sonoda, has announced her retirement from the industry in October, ostensibly for reasons of personal health.
AV performers frequently "retire" or "graduate," though this can sometimes just mean they reappear under a new contract with a different agency and production company -- and using a new professional name.
But this time it seems like a genuine retirement and Sonoda has announced the news with a personal message for her fans.
She entered the AV industry at the ripe old age of 19 and has since spent over four years delighting fans with her ...
Adult video debut from mystery goddess Mino sets the internet on fire
September 11, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Anticipation is building over the adult video debut of a lady being trumpeted as the "beauty from Kobe."
Known only as Mino (美乃), the goddess has an insane F-cup (?) bust and will apparently release her first porn DVD at the end of October from Eightman Production.
Whoever she is and wherever she came from is irrelevant at this point. I mean, just look at that body. And at those breasts.
The hair nude (full-frontal) shoot photos have already set the Japanese internet on fire. Let's now see if that translates into DVD sales and then an extended porn career for this ...
Porn star Nanami Matsumoto has a fan in the Liberal Democratic Party
September 5, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
It seems that top Japanese porn star Nanami Matsumoto (松本菜奈実) has a fan or admirer in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
The J-cup AV idol shared on Twitter with her followers that she was surprised to receive a notification in the mail from the LDP congratulating her on joining the party -- and enclosing her party membership card.
She claims to have done no such thing and is confused as to how the LDP got ahold of her address.
Could it be a simple bureaucratic slip-up? Or did a worker in the party just really want to make contact with her, and abused his power to find ...
Former porn star Anri Sakaguchi arrested again
August 29, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Some stories are stranger than fiction and Anri Sakaguchi's is almost one such tale.
The 28-year-old, whose real name is Mizue Nozawa, has added multiple hyphenates to her name over the past few of years as her life and career has taken all kinds of twists and turns.
The daughter of a well-known actress and a one-time tarento herself, she made her unexpected adult video debut in 2016 to pay off her huge debts. This would be sensational enough for most people but Anri Sakaguchi is not most people.
She was then arrested in 2017 for attempted extortion of a bar host with whom she was ...
