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 ...
The tabloid FRIDAY has snapped pictures of JAV porn star Makoto Yuuki entering the home of veteran TV personality and comedian Sanma Akashiya at around 11pm in mid-November and then leaving some 14 hours later.
Sanma Akashiya's daughter, IMALU, is a year older than Makoto (23), who is a former Race Queen and minor porn star.
This is Sanma.
And this is Makoto Yuuki.
...and leaving Sanma's home.
While I love Sanma on TV, I think the guy needs to get a reality check when it comes to his dating habits.
The horny devil was also reported to have gone on an intimate date with porn star ...
This week we are taking a slight break from Gravure idols to showcase a lovely lady from the world of Japanese porn.
Nozomi Aso (麻生希) was born in 1988 and has a lovely E-cup pair of assets.
She made her adult video debut in 2012 with Soft on Demand, and since then has quickly achieved star-level status.
It's easy to see why.
She has that rare thing -- purity, combined with genuine sexiness.
Like her recently-turned-30 fellow JAV star Sola Aoi, Nozomi is also very popular in China and ...
We love Tsubomi.
The cute JAV star, recently pregnant, has won legions of fans in Japan and rightfully so.
A documentary on the new Vice Japan channel looks at Tsubomi. It's in Japanese only but turn on the closed captions for English subtitles.
A highlight is at the start when she says she thinks Japanese people are more secretive when it comes to sex.
It doesn't go into any context or explore anything properly, just following Tsubomi around Akihabara as she looks at costumes and meets a few fans. There are some short clips from movie shoots.
There is quite a funny ...
Japanese porn star Sola Aoi (aka Sora Aoi) is immensely popular in China but her latest attempt to flog her titillating DVDs has backfired with the establishment.
She has now indulged in some calligraphy in the country, though it has been criticized as "unskilled" by traditionalists.
That hasn't stopped it from being auctioned for $95,000!
Sola wrote eight Kanji characters at a theme park in Ningbo, which were sold this month.
However, the media has tried to use the opportunity to criticize this "foreign" invader of the flesh.
"The style of calligraphy is childish, ...
It pays to be careless sometimes, it seems.
For a Japanese porn star, despite all those nakadashi (creampie) scenes, you would think that getting pregnant was the thing they fear most. It signals if not the end of their career, at least a large blimp where they cannot work.
But not if you are as cute as the cosplayer JAV porn star Tsubomi, whose latest film is simply called "Tsubomi Pregnant."
We think the main point of the film is thus pretty obvious.
Of course, there are lots of pregnant porn films already and even pregnant women sex shops for people with lactating breasts ...
