Hong Kong have cracked down on foreign sex workers, arresting numerous women on October 17.
According to local news reports, they included the former Japanese porn star Noa Aizawa (愛沢のあ), who has been working as a prostitute from a hotel in the city.
Police have targeted a prostitution ring that was promoting Aizawa's services as a sex worker on social media by using her past adult videos as promotional material. Along with Aizawa, another woman arrested at the hotel was from Thailand. They both entered Hong Kong on travel visas.
In all, 16 women were arrested in a series of ...
As frequently reported on this blog, the new porn law in Japan has proven very controversial.
Though touted as a way of protecting performers, especially younger and debuting performers, by giving them far greater freedom to get out of contracts and by making production and distribution companies delay release, the legislation introduced in June was opposed by many in the industry.
While many major production companies have maintained a careful silence, perhaps concerned about stoking calls for a total ban on unsimulated sex in porn and encouraging further regulations to target the coercion ...
A few weeks ago, we reported on the engagement and pregnancy of ex-porn star Nanami Kawakami.
Being an adult video star is hard enough with the long shoots, physical pressures, and social stigma, but the job also really affects your ability to lead a regular life outside of work. This includes, of course, settling down with a special someone -- if that's your choice -- and perhaps even having kids.
Anri Sakaguchi, whose colorful life has encompassed a stint in AV, has recently announced her divorce after just two months of marriage.
News reports last year said that former JAV star Nao ...
We mentioned earlier this month about the long-awaited follow-up adult video release by Yotsuha Kominato (Rikako Inoue), the former Fairies music idol.
The singer's second AV (1stars00715), which sees Kominato co-star with top male porn performer Shimiken for one of the sexual encounters, comes in the wake of a hugely publicized porn debut in June. Produced and released again by SODstar, the JAV title has now hit the market and the first screen grabs indicate that her slender, pale-skinned body is working overtime once more.
If these images entice you, put some yen down on the table to buy ...
One of the biggest porn debuts of the year was by former Fairies idol Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato.
Her highly anticipated first adult release came out in the summer and was a hit, thanks to a major marketing splash laid out by Soft on Demand.
Now comes the follow-up.
Clocking in at a hefty 261 minutes (even longer than her debut) for the digital version, her second release (also from SODstar) is available in Japan from September 20 (code 1stars00715) and features 4K-quality action with four sexual encounters. The physical release on DVD and Blu-ray is a little shorter ...
New Japanese porn stars make their debuts on a weekly basis. Most come out of nowhere -- at least, their names are not yet known -- while others have some background in a related industry like gravure.
For new AV performer Riko Hoshino (星乃莉子), it's a bit of both. We hadn't heard of her before but apparently the Hokkaido native has already appeared in a weekly magazine as a gravure idol earlier in the summer.
Before that, she was a professional patissier, which makes us wonder about all those lovely ladies in white uniforms we see inside bakeries.
Hoshino's first release comes out ...
Turning notoriety into profit is an age-old trick, and 31-year-old YouTuber Yu Hirose has done it.
After the sexy YouTuber, who boasts over 450,000 subscribers, got arrested for public indecency for live-streaming nude sex acts on FC2, she has made a comeback. And she's decided to go the whole hog by doing porn.
Her debut, a 131-minute AV (LZDQ00025) from Lezre!, came out on August 20 (streaming) and August 23 (physical release). She is credited by her online name, Yu Hirose (広瀬ゆう).
Form the looks of things, she stays masked throughout proceedings, which seem to involve a bit of ...
People like to bang on about the supposed Protestant work ethic, but one of the first things you notice about Japan when you visit or live here is how seriously locals take their jobs. They work (or are pressured to work) very long hours. In general, this is not a good thing, though it does at least foster a real commitment to professionalism and providing good service.
But there's dedication to service and then there's dedication to service. And wildly popular Japanese porn star Eimi Fukada is very much all about providing fan service.
She recently held a 24-hour free hugs event for her ...
The recently retired porn star Nanami Kawakami has announced her pregnancy and marriage.
The 29-year-old shared the news with fans on August 1 via social media, though she says she actually married her partner on July 7. Her due date is next January.
The announcement tweet included charming pictures at the beach, with her partner (whose face is hidden) slipping a ring on her finger and Kawakami beaming at the camera with her ring on.
Kawakami, who has been candid about the financial pitfalls of her line of work, retired at the start of 2022 after a successful career lasting her ...
In recent weeks, we have been obsessing over the porn debut of music idol Rikako Inoue (now performing as Yotsuha Kominato).
With all the new JAV releases each month, it can be easy to forget who was big a season or so ago. One sure sign that you have progressed from the fleeting triumph of debutant-of-the-month to established star surely arrives when you are invited to work with a sex toy brand to produce your own item.
Kaoru Yasui provided one of the most high-profile debuts last year when she made the switch from gravure to porn. She has continued to release further AV titles and now her ...
