A little while ago the gravure world was stunned by the sudden appearance of a gorgeous model called Rara Anzai. She made her debut in a nude shoot for Weekly Playboy magazine that fully showed off her incredible bust and body to the full.
The photos are "censored" but are actually highlights from a full-front "hair nude" photo-book called "Hello, Goodbye", published in June 2014. (It's common for photo-books, especially high-profile and raunchy ones, to have a promo spread in a weekly tabloid magazine at the same time as the release.)
In fact, a little bit of digging by those in ...
There's been a lot of political tension over the last two years between Korea and Japan. Territorial disputes. Yasukuni Shrine. Comfort women.
But when all's said and done, there's one great unifier: sex.
Korea does not have a very vibrant porn industry and Korean men look to JAV to fill their needs.
"Yadong" means a porn video you watch online or on your computer. Whatever they think about certain rocks in the sea between Japan and the peninsula, almost all men in Korea love Japanese anime and Japanese porn.
Due to local restrictions you don't have the major porn makers in Korea like ...
Our lavish lady this fine summery week is Mari Hasumi (蓮見茉莉). Unlike most of the girls we feature on our regular Idol of the Week column Mari is not a Gravure model but a Japanese porn star. But as such, a lot of details about her remain cloaked in shadow.
Either way, her slinky body is more than enough to satisfy ...
We know this is going to be a divisive release -- and that's why we're blogging about it.
Over at Kanojo Toys, they have a JAV porn DVD for sale called "Rina-chan Best".
"Rina-chan Best" is a long 480-minute double-disc fetish DVD porn set for the audiences who love eight-hour paipan schoolgirl fantasies. And that's quite a big audience in Japan, it seems.
Rina is a sweet little girl who measures a mere 147 cm (4.8 ft) in height. Like small girls with flat chests? She's the one for you. (After all, there's no shortage of them in Japan.)
In the series of films in this set Rina is put ...
It's often the case the Japanese porn stars that are huge in China, Taiwan or Korea are not necessarily the biggest stars back home in Japan. Sora Aoi is one famous example -- a star at home but a mega-star abroad.
Yet it's rare for any gravure idol or porn star to make it big in Europe or America beyond the radar of hardcore Japanese or Yellow Fever fans.
But one lady is bucking the trend.
Marica Hase (or Marika Hase) (長谷真理香) made the leap over the waters to America in 2012 and hasn't looked back since. She appeared in Penthouse in January 2013 and now makes around 15 ...
This is a question we often ask ourselves about Japanese pornography.
With tens of thousands of actresses working in the industry, said to be the biggest in the world, which star has appeared in the most titles?
Apparently we weren't alone in wondering this, since some Japanese netizens have done the maths. Naturally the results steer older since the longer a career, the more titles you would have under your belt... though we never have any objections to a sexy Japanese MILF or two!
1. Yumi Kazuma (1,646 films)
2. Tsubomi (1,370 films)
3. Rio Hamasaki (1,201 films)
4. Reiko ...
We all dream of sleeping with or dating a porn star. Some people get to do it for real.
V6 is a Japanese male idol group whose primary job these days is to have sex with Japan's top female celebrities. Hard work if you can get it.
Go Morita (35) has been snapped with his latest conquest and one that is said to be more serious than usual. In fact, Morita is said to almost be living with porn star Alice Miyuki (26) after a year-long romance.
However, given Morita's status as a male idol, what will his young female fans think of a relationship of a woman who is so free with her ...
Last night in the pouring rain saw the Japan Adult Awards held in Tokyo.
The annual prizes are the Japanese porn industry's chance to pat itself on the back and rewards its top actresses with trinkets for their efforts over the past year.
Last year's winners include Haruki Sato for best actress and Akari Hoshino in the jukujo category.
The much-coveted Best Actress prize was taken home by Yui Hatano, who made her debut way back in 2008.
While we were rooting for Mei Hayama in the Best Newcomer Award, she sadly lost out to Marina Shirashi (below left). The jukujo award was won ...
She is the woman of many names and many occupations. Elly Akira is a Japanese porn star who also went by the name of Yuka (Yuuka) Osawa. Now she stars in porn under the name Eri Arai. Following us so far?
She's half Japanese, half Syrian. If that wasn't special enough, she is also an award-winning artist, photographer, writer, and businesswoman. Oh, and she has another name: Fareeza Terunuma.
It's under this name that she takes part in art shows and has now launched a new career as a music star.
Her first single is called "Kakkoii" (Cool) and is under yet another moniker, Terunuma ...
Pure unadulterated sex appeal.
From her graceful looks to those cute small breasts, Mei Hayama (葉山めい) is simply bliss.
You'll notice that these days we branch out a bit and don't just offer Gravure idols in these kind of Japanese sexy babe showcases anymore.
We still love idols, don't worry. But we like to branch out occasionally. And there's plenty of amazing women to feast our eyes on in the world of Japanese pornography.
Mei Hayama made her JAV debut last year. Being born in 1994 -- yes, she's Heisei era! -- she is still kind of under the age of consent. How did she ...
