Since retiring from porn in August 2023, Yua Mikami has regularly stirred up controversy. Firstly by appearing to date two male singers at once. Secondly by pursuing her efforts to work in mainstream fashion through her own brand MISTREASS and by modeling for others, which some consider inappropriate given her previous line of work.
The 32-year-old YouTuber and celebrity will clearly do anything for a quick buck, including launching her own meme coin.
Her latest gig is serving as brand ambassador for papakatsu app mypappy, which she announced earlier this month. It has provoked a decidedly ...
Fans were delighted to see the return of Shoko Takahashi to the porn scene with her appearance in Macau over the weekend.
Takasho somewhat abruptly retired in 2022, seven years after her debut. She famously made the switch from regular gravure (where she worked as Shoko Takasaki) to adult video after her agency sacked her for getting caught doing compensated dating.
She appeared at PinkD! Entertainment Expo in Macau from September 26 to September 28. China and other parts of Asia are some of the biggest markets for Japanese porn, and performers often appear at such events outside ...

Sakai clarified that no sexual content was mentioned in the sponsorship application.
The "Pink Bon Odori" was a ...
We all love Japanese porn stars. We all want to have sex with them.
But would you want to marry one?
Because of the nature of their profession, porn stars sometimes face discrimination when it comes to marriage, parenthood, and further career options.
Those who have tried to develop new careers in the public eye have suffered criticism, such as Yua Mikami for her modeling and fashion brand work, and those who have openly shared details about their marriages and children have also received abuse online.
On a recent episode of Abema's Hyena of Love, porn star Ai Sayama was shown discussing ...
The backlash against former porn star Yua Mikami's attempts to build a mainstream career for herself in fashion has continued with viral and divisive criticism of her wearing a wedding dress.
Mikami was appearing as a guest at a public talk that was part of a boat racing event in Yamaguchi on July 27.
A twentysomething married woman who wanted to wear the same dress design for her bridal photos wrote a vitriolic post on X on July 27 about how her plans were no ruined by the ex-adult video performer. It got a surprising amount of attention (120.5 million views, 152,000 likes, and 3,3000 ...

In January, the Japanese porn star Yuki Takeuchi had announced that she would retire from the adult video industry at the end of this year, but she has now said that she will delay her retirement by a further year.
Many fans had hoped she would do this because she wanted to keep making JAV productions due to audience demand, and while that may be true in part, Takeuchi recently revealed the real reason behind the extra 12 months.
Takeuchi was the victim of a financial scam that saw her lose her savings, she shared on an episode of Abema's Hyena of Love 4 (the same show on which ...
Top Japanese adult video performer Momona Koibuchi recently gave an interview to Japanese tabloid Spa!, discussing her career and her unusual background as originally a civil servant in Yamagata, northeast Japan.
Here are some highlights from the interview with the 26-year-old porn princess.
Q. You went from being a civil servant to being a porn actress, but did you originally want to become a civil servant?

The former porn star Emiri Okazaki has announced she is pregnant.
Now 36, Okazaki made her adult video debut via Muteki in 2011. She also worked under the name EMIRI and was a member of the JAV idol music group Pinkey, which was produced by the late Kishin Shinoyama, famed for his nude photography, and active from 2012 to 2015.

Given the huge volume of porn produced in Japan and, thus, the large number of women involved, it is inevitably that many of the performers will have families after they retire from the industry. The question of former or current adult video stars raising families is one that occasionally appears in the media, often with a degree of sympathy (for the abuse they can suffer online) and curiosity.
Spa! recently featured an interview with AiRis, an up-and-coming gravure idol and singer who is also the daughter of 46-year-old former porn star Mariko Sata.
Single mom Sata was active in the ...
