Former porn star Yui Akane arrested for obscenity
June 27, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
The ostensibly retired adult video star Yui Akane (朱音ゆい) has been arrested on an obscenity charge.
The 30-year-old hottie was arrested with the scout Komei Hisada, 34, on suspicion of broadcasting nude videos in breach of obscenity laws.
This looks like a case of the police cracking down on an independent operator. People trying to make a quick buck by streaming or distributing porn online, bypassing the mainstream commercial platforms and probably infringing on censorship laws, always run the risk of attracting too much attention from rivals and authorities.
According to Tokyo ...
Porn star Cocona Yuzuki spills dark secrets about seiyuu casting couch
June 11, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
One of this blog's ongoing obsessions is the open secret in the Japanese idol world, be it gravure, music, porn, or general tarento and celebrities: the casting couch.
And it really is rampant, it seems, in almost all corners of the industry. Even among seiyu/seiyuu (voice actresses).
The "sexy actress" (a euphemism for porn star used by the mainstream media) Cocona Yuzuki recently shared some of these secrets on television.
A former chika (underground) idol, seiyuu, and now adult video star, Cocona (or Kokona) Yuzuki appeared on a late-night TV Tokyo show on June 6.
She explained that if ...
How much does it cost to go on a date with a famous Japanese idol or model?
May 31, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
It's an open secret that "compensated dating" (援助交際, enjo kosai) is common in the Japanese idol world, even among mainstream entertainers and celebrities.
Just as the casting couch exists, so too does the dating table. Idols don't earn that much money and their careers are fickle, so they boost their income with dates.
There doesn't always sex involved, it should be added, but it's surely not impossible. It's like a hostess "dohan" date (where the hostess accompanies you for dining before going to the club together) or services offered by "dating clubs" (交際クラブ, kosai ...
The latest porn release (HND00655) by former NMB48 idol Miko Matsuda (originally known as Risako Okada) is an apparently shameless parody of the Maho Yamaguchi incident.
As was later widely reported, Yamaguchi was sexually assaulted by two fans in December 2018 after her address was inadvertently given to the stalkers by another member of the group. Exposing the exploitative conditions under which idols labor, the management did not acknowledge what had happened until Yamaguchi herself went public. "Mahohon," as she is popular known, first had to issue an apology for the "trouble" she ...
Former Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome idol Rina Iijima mades porn debut as Yui Nagase

/ Tadashi Anahori
Another Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome idol has made her adult video debut.
Continuing a trend that has included countless former AKB group idols and Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome ladies like Nana Nanase and Yu Ito, Rina Iijima (飯島里奈) will release her first AV as a digital download from May 25th and then as a physical release on June 1st.
The former fourth-generation Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome member Iijima has now become Yui Nagase (永瀬ゆい) for the 150-minute Yui Nagase, the 149-cm Cute Girl Who Came from Sotokanda -- Fuck Stage (MIFD00070) from Moodyz. The title echoes the debut of ...
22-year-old stunner Rena Kuroi makes porn debut, welcomes in Reiwa era with follow-up
April 25, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
As we prepare for the extended Golden Week holiday in Japan from this weekend, we're naturally looking around for adult video content to keep us entertained.
We spotted a porn debutant who really should be on everyone's to-watch list.
Rena Kuroi (くろいれな) released her first AV from Kuki on April 2nd. "Hatsuhana" (ADZ327) is meant to be one of just two AVs that the 22-year-old Rena will make.
According to her official profile, she lives in Kamakura and is an "Earthling," which is reassuring (though alien sex is a whole other subgenre of JAV). Her second (and potentially final) AV ...
Former porn star Sola Aoi to stream giving birth to twins live online
April 18, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
If you thought that when Sola Aoi got married, you would see the last of her, think again.
The popular former adult video star is now heavily pregnant but isn't content to sit back and wait for nature to take its course. No, even the imminent start of maternity is a way for her to connect with her legions of fans and, if we're frank, take her fame (as in 655,000-Instagram-followers-level fame) to new extremes.
"Welcome to the world, Sola's baby [sic]," says the publicity for Abema TV's live broadcast of the birth of her twins. Yes, 35-year-old Sola (sometimes spelled Sora) is going to ...
Former SAY-LA idol Eri Haruno makes adult video debut
April 16, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
The latest example of the transition from music idol to adult video idol is Eri Haruno, formerly of the girl group SAY-LA.
She makes her porn debut this month with "The Last Idol Debut" (84MKMP00270), released April 12th by the label million. As is typical, Haruno changed her professional name as part of her career switch and now goes by the moniker Uta Yumemita (夢見照うた).
We like her hinnyu flat chest with its pointy nipples.
As Eri Haruno, she was a member of SAY-LA for most of 2015. Now as Yuta Yumemita, perhaps she has a brighter future ahead of ...
Fans scramble for chance to stay at hot spring with porn star Shoko Takahashi
March 25, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Who wouldn't want to go on a date with Shoko Takahashi?
The busty porn star is one of the most popular ladies in the adult video industry right now and certainly one of the most successful examples of a gravure idol crossing over into JAV.
Well, forty fans have the chance to accompany Shoko Takahashi -- also known as Takasho -- on a special tour that leaves Shinjuku on April 20th by bus. At the rural destination, the tour will encompass erotically charged strawberry picking and then a private stay at a hot spring (onsen) resort.
This latter will include a group dinner but, perhaps most ...
Today in Japan is White Day, when men are supposed to buy chocolates for women, who do the same on Valentine's Day.
So it's another romantic day in the annual calendar, along with Christmas Eve.
As such, porn giant Soft on Demand has set up a novel light display in the heart of Tokyo's Shibuya neighborhood to promote, well, sex and renewable energy. And it's not even real sex, but the virtual kind.
The display, formally called the White Day Illumination Shining with Virgin-Produced Electricity (童貞力発電で輝くホワイトデーイルミネーション), is a way for ...
