Now this is what we call going out with a bang. Top Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has retired from porn, as announced in April, and released her final title (MIDV-099) this month.
Of course, JAV is more than just videos, and Takasho has also put out an array of tie-in toys over the years, from onaholes to lubes and even vibrators.
To complement her last ever porn release, she has teamed up with top adult brand EXE to produce the Japanese Real Oppai Shoko Takahashi Breasts. Given that Takasho's greatest asset is her chest, and her unusual inverted nipples, this is a no-brainer ...
One of the fascinations of this blog is with the afterlives of idols, whether music, gravure, or porn. What do the hordes of women do after their (frequently brief) moment in the spotlight is over?
Kizuna Sakura was active in adult video from 2014 to 2020. Now aged 32, she has begun the next stage of her left and career by opening a Niigata-themed ramen restaurant in December 2020 in Tokyo's Suginami ward.
She funded her enterprise through an ambitious crowdfunding campaign, which included such perks as a one-on-one talk and even a "fake wedding ceremony" and one-night stay at a hot spring ...
Loosely adapted from the book by Jake Adelstein, the HBO series Tokyo Vice features nude scenes with several actors, both American and Japanese.
Legion and Fargo star Rachel Keller is semi-nude in a scene where she gets changed with her back to the camera and a weirdly uninterested man in the room with her.
The former Japanese porn star Nanami Kawakami features in a pretty explicit and satisfying nude sex scene with the series lead Ansel Elgort. The 29-year-old Kawakami, who recently retired from adult video after a decade in the industry, is shown riding Elgort with some nice shots of ...
The high-profile Japanese adult video star Shoko Takahashi has announced on social media on April 1 that she will retire from porn.
This news came out a few days ago and somehow slipped under our radar until last night. Despite the timing of the announcement, Takahashi emphasized that it's not an April Fool's joke. She has also shot down rumors that she is pregnant or getting married. Instead, she says, her motivation for retiring was the health risk that a long porn career entails.
Her official retirement release (MIDV-099) was shot at the end of last year and will come out on May ...
As one of the most successful performers in the entire industry, Japanese porn star Julia has released a lot of things in her long career, especially bestselling adult videos. She has, of course, already released various tie-in toys like the Real Body Julia (a torso-style sex doll masturbator) as well as several other masturbator toys and vibrators.
But this is a toy on a wholly different level.
The Julia Life-Size Porn Star Sex Doll is, as its name suggests, a true-to-life-scale doll that is a fitting tribute to the JAV stunner. Now 12 years since her debut, the 34-year-old has finally got ...
How consensual is porn?
The upcoming change to the age of adulthood in Japan and its implications for people signing contracts to do porn has prompted politicians to scramble to make legislation protecting teenagers from embarking upon an adult video career. (Opposition lawmaker Ayaka Shiomura, however, has faced male laughter when addressing the issue in the Diet.)
The situation has reignited the issue of consent and coercion in porn, with some arguing that women as young as 18 or 19 shouldn't be allowed to sign contracts independently due to the complex nature of the legal clauses and ...
Okogetan (おこげたん。) is a popular TikToker with (as of writing) almost 105,000 followers on the video platform.
She has now cemented her status by making her porn debut under the performer name Roze Kato (加藤ロゼ).
The half-Japanese, half-Black star has an incredible H-cup bust that is exploited fully in the 174-minute release (EBOD00901) from E-Body in which Okogetan basically plays herself. It came out on digital release on March 11. We have yet to see the actual video but the preview images really show off Okogetan's amazing bakunyu breasts, especially her enlarged ...
How much do porn stars earn? It's a gray area, though JAV is a huge industry and clearly the main stars do well for themselves.
There are often rumors about exceptional fees when high-profile women from other industries make the crossover into porn. Some of these are no doubt are just conjecture.
Back in 2013, the actress Yoko Kamon made her porn debut after a career of acting in the 1990s and then hair nude full-frontal shoots (not one but two nude photo books) in the early 2010s.
Then in her early thirties, Kamon was not a huge star but there was a fair amount of interest in her adult ...
Probably the most highly anticipated (and hyped) porn debut in the industry right now is that of Unpai, the wildly popular Japanese TikToker.
Known for her bust, "duck mouth," and sexy videos, Unpai is making a (supposedly) one-off foray into adult video with a release from S1 No. 1 Style.
The 171-minute video (SSIS-00312) by the 27-year-old, whose real name is Sayaka Ito, came out digitally last week and on physical formats yesterday.
From the look of the first images we have seen, it seems pretty conventional. But then, who needs gimmicks and flashy locations when you have a body (and ...
Former porn star Saki Otsuka has reached a settlement with an adult toys maker over the sale of products featuring her.
Though seven years have now passed since Otsuka -- once a top performer in the JAV industry -- retired, "new works" continued to appear on the market and be sold without her consent. Otsuka had sued, seeking damages (and, of course, to set a precedent for other ex-performers).
The legal challenge has taken two and a half years, but was apparently concluded in January, reports Bengo 4.
Otsuki first learned that "new" products were being released with her name and image in ...
