When is big too big? Last week, we reported on the porn debut of Kaira Haneda, who has a whopping K-cup bust, and very finely shapely and colored too.
Now netizens in Japan are talking excitedly about the breasts of adult video star Ako Kimura (木村愛心), a 29-year-old performer whose JAV debut was in May 2025 from S1 No. 1 Style.
Her breasts are a jaw-dropping L cup and their sheer size and heft suggests you can have too much of a good thing.
The fetish subculture of bakunyu (literally, explosive breasts) was named precisely for such tits.
Her 17th release was just announced by ...
One the best porn debuts in Japan this month is by Kaira Haneda in a release from Madonna, which specializes in adult video productions featuring older performers.
Haneda is meant to be a former member of the entertainment industry (so, either an actress or model) who retired four years ago. She married and moved overseas for her husband's work, but their sex life has apparently dried up and she is keen to satisfy her desires in other ways. Haneda is now 34 years old and making her JAV debut as an older performer in a 120-minute release (JUR-839).
Of course, there's a lot of ...
To remember the former porn star Tsubomi is to go back to what now seems like a veritable golden age of adult video, a more innocent time of JAV before the restrictive new legislation came in and the coercion scandals that have blackened the industry.
Tsubomi was a Lolita-style performer who made her debut in 2006 at the age of 18. She had already appeared in 1,000 releases by 2012.
We actually assumed she had retired in the 2010s, but it seems she did not officially leave the industry until late 2022, making her career one of the longest in recent memory.
Known as Tsubomin to her fans, ...
What happens when porn stars retire? Most disappear into obscurity after a short career in a highly competitive industry, probably earning money by hostessing, compensated dating, and sex work. A small number are able to switch gears to an adjacent career, such as acting or modeling (such as Yua Mikami). And there are interesting examples of JAV stars who switch to a wholly different occupation, like Hiyori Yoshioka, who works at a sexual health clinic.
We have chronicled various examples of these post-idol careers over the years, and another interesting one recently came across our ...
The veteran Japanese porn star Ann Sasakura announced on August 5 that she had donated money to disaster relief for the Kumamoto earthquake that took place last month.
The quake on July 28 caused widespread damage, left thousands living in temporary accommodation, and has resulted in 36 deaths so far.
Sasakura noted in her announcement on social media that some people might criticize her for making the donation, since working in adult video is not viewed as a respectable profession, despite the huge popularity of its content.
However, most social media users seemed to react positively to ...
The prolific Japanese porn director Chisho Ito, known professionally as Tohjiro, has died at the age of 70. He had been suffering from lung cancer.
The news was announced on July 21 by his wife, the former porn star Mirei Asaoka.
