Asian Boss recently landed a video interview with former Japanese adult video star Emiri Okazaki.
The video has proved a hit, notching up over 3.5 million views in just a few days at time of writing.
As video host Kei notes, Japan is known for a handful things, including anime and porn. But why is porn so big here? And what is like to work in the industry?
The 18-minute interview is in Japanese but has English subtitles throughout. Emiri Okazaki, whose five-year AV stint began in 2011, discusses her career and thoughts on working as a porn star.
The kinds of women who go ...
Shoko Takahashi is one of the few gravure idols whose crossover to adult video has been a lasting success.
Formerly known as Shoko Takasaki, she has continued to enjoy commercial triumph after triumph with her porn releases, which typically exploit her incredible bust (and breasts that have, unusually for AV stars, inverted nipples).
And now the goddess has released what is, to our knowledge, her first clone masturbator toy: the Meiki no Syoumei File Shoko Takahashi AV Star Onahole.
Onahole enthusiasts will quickly spot that this is the latest (actually, the eleventh) in a specific ...
Remember our excitement over Suzu Honjo? Ahead of her much-anticipated adult video debut for Soft on Demand, she did a lavish nude photo shoot.
Now we've found some preview images from her first AV release, which came out on April 26th from SOD Star.
Directed by Ietaro, Honjo's 305-minute title (1STAR00888SS) has attracted 10,000 advance reservations, which is a lot in an overcrowded industry where many performers debut to a whimper (with the exception of a few celebrities switching over from another industry) and most releases shift only a few thousand in total.
In her porn ...
After the positive response to our post last week on the hotly anticipated adult video debut of Saika Kawakita, we decided to take a look at another stunning new addition to the pantheon of Japanese porn.
Yui Tomita is apparently (all right, the marketing bods don't always tell the truth) an actual college girl who has just released her first AV this month from Moodyz.
The 149-minute title (MIDF00036) is directed by Michiru Arashiyama and is out on the Moodyz Fresh label.
A slender body, pristine looks, and the ability to squirt immense fountains of shiofuki when she's aroused enough ...
Japan's biggest adult retailer and a porn producer in its own right (through the various production companies in its group), Soft on Demand is now going one step further.
Following in the footsteps of the Playboy bar in Kabukicho that is staffed by hot gravure idols, the SOD is opening the Soft on Demand Tachi Syain standing bar in Akihabara (apparently located "15 seconds' walk" from the Showa-dori Gate).
Patrons will be served by, you guessed it, actual Japanese adult video ...
New women debut in Japanese adult video every month. Many are actually nameless -- uncredited "extras" -- and some are actually just women who are now performing under a new name. A small minority are celebrities from another industry that are switching over, typically to the Muteki label.
But another set of women are those who make a genuine splash on their own merits, who stir up real buzz just for being hot and appearing in an exciting release.
Suzu Honjo was a recent example of this. Noa Takeuchi was, too, but then her AV releases literally disappeared from the shelves.
Saika Kawakita ...
Are you an ass guy? Then you're gonna love this.
Following the immense popularity of our previous lingering look at the under-appreciated charms of Japanese girls' butts, here is an update with some new favorites.
We made selections from currently active gravure idols, adult video stars, actresses, and celebrities. From the plump to the curvy, the flat and cute, the pert and big, we hope there's something for everyone here.

As always, drop other ideas and suggestions into the comments!

We love it when a plan comes together.
So many adult video debuts go unnoticed and the lady struggles to the end of her short contract without fanfare, before, if she's lucky, switching agency and professional name to try again under a new alias, or leaving the industry. Some, such as Noa Takeuchi recently, even disappear entirely.
A few, however, attract amazing buzz from the start. This often includes celebrities making much-trumpeted moves into porn, such as Miu Nakamura, Miyako Akane, and Mero Imai. But sometimes there are some beauties who get everyone excited
One such is Suzu Honjo, ...
It's been a while since we wrote about K-pop, but this isn't just any Korean music group. In fact, it's not even Korean at all. Honey Popcorn comprises entirely Japanese adult video idols -- but who used to be music idols. Confused? Let us explain.
Moreover, the lineup includes one of the top names in Japanese porn right now: none other than former SKE48 idol Yua Mikami (Momona Kito).
The other two ladies in Honey Popcorn are Miko Matsuda and Moko Sakura. Those names may not be immediately familiar to readers, but their former professional monikers probably are.
Risako Okada is a ...
The Japanese Interwebs is abuzz with speculation about the mysterious disappearance of up-and-coming adult video star Noa Takeuchi, who made her debut on Soft on Demand in September last year.
After releasing seven (by our count) videos, the D-cup "Lolita"-style performer has suddenly disappeared and her next release scheduled for February 25 abruptly canceled. Of course, women who make one-off debuts are not unusual, while the road to AV stardom is lined with the corpses of women who released a couple of videos but found no following.
But this is different. Takeuchi's videos have really ...
