Ruka Aida (愛田るか) is a 53-year-old porn star and former stripper who debuted in 1995 and worked in the industry initially until 2004. She then made a comeback in 2006 from 2010, before doing sex work in Tokyo and Osaka. She made another triumphant comeback in April this year.
Over the course of her long career, the Hokkaido native has seen many trends come and go. The tabloid Spa! recently interviewed her and we have translated and edited some of the highlights.
She explains that her 1995 debut came about for very practical reasons.
"I wanted to earn money to cover moving costs. I ...
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 ...
The porn star Maria Nagai has announced her pregnancy. The 28-year-old JAV performer made the announcement on social media on October 4.
Reflecting her international following, she wrote in both Japanese and English: "As some of you may have already noticed, I'm blessed with a new life."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, she did not make public any information about the father of her child.
Known for her shapely thighs and H-cup bakunyu bust, Nagai has also worked under such names as Kurumi Kashiwagi, Nanoka Igawa, and Miu Onose.
She debuted in 2014. Nagai was born to a Japanese father and ...
On September 29, Tokyo Metropolitan Police referred a 19-year-old male first-year university student from Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on suspicion of distributing obscene images and gambling, among other charges.
He allegedly sold posters featuring obscene images created using an image-generating AI, and then used the proceeds to gamble at online casinos.
According to a senior Tokyo Metropolitan Police official quoted by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, the student is suspected of making and selling AI-generated obscene images obtained from ...
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 ...
Now 33, Mio Oichi (音市美音) worked in the Japanese adult video industry from 2011 to 2012, and then again from 2014 to 2015, and a final time in 2018.
In a long and wide-ranging interview with Spa! earlier this month, she talked about her career and the difficulties she has faced as a former porn star. We've translated some highlights.
Her JAV career began in a fairly typical way.
"I was scouted when I made my debut. I was walking down the street when someone called out to me, and I went for an interview at an agency. I was young and interested in working in the entertainment ...
In Japan, porn is everywhere but thou shalt not see genitals.
Due to the wonders of the internet and mobile devices, people in Japan enjoy instant access to hardcore pornography, just like most other places in the world today.
But unless the producers want to incur the wrath of police and courts, domestically made porn still abides by the obscenity law in Japan, whose conventional interpretation is that you cannot show actual genitalia, hence all those cocks and vaginas are blurred out.
And it's also the case with foreign porn if you are a Japanese business selling it to Japanese customers ...
Kanna Seto burst onto the Japanese adult video scene late last year and quickly made a huge impression with her girl-next-door face, pale skin, slim body, and huge breasts. It is a formidable combination and her debut attracted some of the biggest online attention we have seen in a long while.
Seto's career has gone from strength to strength, releasing 12 titles since then from S1 No. One Style and building a following both in Japan and in other parts of Asia.
The 21-year-old's first photo book came out from Shogakukan in January and she has at least three more AV titles scheduled ...
Many music idols have rules, explicit or implicit, that prevent them from having romantic or sexual relationships to keep up the pretense that fans have a chance of dating their favorite singer.
If you think music idols are not having sex, though, you've pretty naive, as the various dating "scandals" have demonstrated over the years.
Some idols are even more sexually active than you might suspect, including having secret porn careers.
Tsumugi Mugino was recently fired from the Hokkaido idol group Icecream Square after her alleged appearance in an "amateur" porn release came to ...
Japanese porn is a huge industry, pumping out productions big and small on a daily basis, and served by an army of performers.
How do you keep those sexual scenarios fresh and new? By turning to parody for inspiration, whether it's lampooning recent events and scandals, anime and manga, TV shows and movies, or even YouTube channels.
Parody is a major and fun part of the adult video industry, narrowly avoiding copyright infringement while entertaining at the same time as arousing viewers. And both delighting and enraging fans of certain franchises.
The latest choice of material is the ...
