We recently reported on the porn debut of name-changing idol Sarina Toyama, aka Sarina Haru, and now working in JAV as Meisa Nishimoto.
Apparently still an active member of the idol group Once a Chance (which just celebrated its first live music event), Nishimoto is also a porn star, a new career that she launched with a full-frontal nude photo shoot a few weeks ago.
Soon after, we got confirmation of her first release (STARSBD-462), which comes out via SOD Star later in October.
Now we finally have some proper preview pictures to share.
The release looks like a standard fuck-on-a-bed ...
In early 2020, we shared the news about the porn debut of Rumina Yuki, the former beauty queen at the prestigious Gakushuin University.
It seems that Rumina Yuki, whose real name is Kanako Asakura, continued her career in porn and released more videos as well as appear in many semi-nude and nude shoots for weekly magazines. She eventually became attached to the Prestige label and released a photo book in February of this year.
But now aged 26, Rumina was apparently associating with the wrong kind of men and struggling to cope with her newfound path in porn. As reported by a tabloid ...
A few months ago, we reported on the exciting news that shibari rope bondage master Hajime Kinoko was creating and selling an augmented reality art installation as an NFT.
Well, the NFT boom shows no signs of abating just yet, and others are jumping on the bandwagon.
And by others, we mean none other than top Japanese porn star Yua Mikami, who has announced a new project: your NFT.
To mark her twenty-eighth birthday, August 16, Yua has collaborated with famed Japanese art director Gugi Akiyama and photographer Yasunari Kikuma to take a special photograph.
She will then sell 28 images ...
What to do when your career as a weather forecaster is faltering? Strip off for a weekly magazine, it seems.
Well, it's hard to say what the precise motives are for Mian Shirasaka (白坂みあん), the 21-year-old beauty who holds a qualification as a weather forecaster (often held by weather presenters) and whose meteorological broadcasting career is surely just starting.
But that hasn't stopped her from moving to her backup plan, which was apparently not only trying her hand at gravure but at a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot as well. Talk about jumping in at the deep end.
The shoot is ...
We are late to write about this but Japanese media reported in August that retired porn star Nao Oikawa (及川奈央) had divorced her husband of five years.
She married the man, who is six years her senior, in December 2016 but announced in early August that she had divorced in the spring.
Oikawa was a top adult video performer from 2000 to 2004. Since leaving JAV and now aged 40, she has carved out a modest second career as a "regular" actor, appearing in a major NHK period drama, among various other credits.
Fans have called for her return to the industry, especially now that she is ...
It is the height of the Japanese summer, a season typically spent at firework displays, local festivals, and at sport venues. This year, of course, is a bit different and many things are canceled or scaled down (again!) due to the ongoing pandemic.
And so we are thinking back to happier times when we would roam baseball stadiums, admiring both the games and the lovely "beer girls" (uriko) who sell the drinks.
Like booth companions ubiquitous at conventions, these girls have attracted their own fandom. After all, what better way to sell drinks than getting hot young women to walk around ...
There are several ways to tell that you have "made it" as a porn star in Japan.
Probably the first and most obvious is when you are cast as a tantai joyu (単体女優) -- an actor who carries a whole release by herself and is given a lead credit (as opposed to the thousands of performers who are uncredited). Only this kind of role ultimately pays enough to make porn a full-time career.
Another is perhaps when you release a photo book or get offers to do various fan events.
But a really big sign is when you get your first spin-off adult toy.
Sendai native Ichika Matsumoto debuted in 2019 ...
The former porn star and now manga artist Nayuka Mine has interviewed Nanami Kawakami, the actor who this year set up her own agency and announced her upcoming retirement from adult video.
In the article published in Spa!, the two share stories about how they got into porn, both coming from rural parts of Japan and going to not especially reputable high schools before they were scouted. Inevitably, as provincials, they were awed by the idea of moving to be the big city and earning big bucks as porn stars.
In Kawakami's case, it was in Fukui Prefecture. Though she says her first release ...
While the Tokyo Olympics enters its second week, the athletes are apparently not having sex in the Olympics Village.
But that is certainly not the case for Japanese porn stars, who are kept busy in a prodigious industry that pumps out thousands of new releases each year.
In a recent photo shoot, five top Japanese adult video stars posed nude for a "naked Olympics" in which they showed off their athletic prowess (as well as their lovely bodies).
Here is Ayaka Mochizuki doing karate.
The flexible Rui Minagawa displays her gymnastics abilities.
This is Emily (Hikari Sakuraba, Ellen ...
As we continue to watch the new season of the Netflix show The Naked Director and its galvanic portrayal of the 1980s and 1990s Japanese adult video industry, porn shoots have been on our mind even more than usual.
In behind-the-scenes photos of porn shoots, we are amazed by so many things.
How many staff are involved and how, if you'll excuse the pun, hard the work it is, getting the right angles and lighting. In these corona times, as two pictures recently shared by the AV director Daiki Kato (Samoari) demonstrate, they also have to wear masks (except the ...
