After yesterday's post about the adult video debut of a former Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome idol, we are following up with another porn newbie, though this time a complete unknown (as far as we are aware). Mayu Okamoto (岡本真憂) is, if we believe the marketing, an actual female university student -- a demographic recently the subject of controversy in Japan, after a weekly tabloid published an article ranking which college girls are easier to sleep with and ignited an international scandal. We are not sure if the 19-year-old Okamoto (obviously not her real name) is a genuine college ...

Former Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome idol Nana Nanase (七瀬菜七) will make her adult video debut next month as Honoka Kinami (木南ほのか). Her first release will be Idols Love Sex Fuckstage (sic, アイドルだって、Hが大好きFUCKSTAGE) (H_1324SKMJ026), out on February 8th, from the label Sekimen Joshi. The 140-minute title is really playing up the idol's former job, dressing her in an AKB48-inspired costume for a threesome. We have yet to see the full AV but judging from the preview images, she seems to throw herself gallantly into her new career role with genuine ...

We are currently marooned out in the Japanese countryside, far from the sights and sounds of Tokyo's kinky wonderscape and the joys of attractive ladies. Fortunately an Internet connection is keeping us sane. As we round out the year, we wanted to highlight another recent development in the busy world of adult video -- and something to look forward to in the New Year! This time it's Cocona Yuzuki (aka Kokona Yuzuki), a voice actress (seiyuu) who has been vocal in the past about sexual coercion in the industry. At the ripe old age of 23, after 13 years of work as an idol, gravure model, ...

We recently wrote up a list of our favorite haafu Japanese gravure idols as well as reporting about a new half-Indian, half-Japanese porn star. Now we have another great example to add to this burgeoning pantheon of mixed-race stunners. Making her porn debut this month, the 22-year-old Karen Ishida apparently has a Japanese father and a Portuguese mother. Of course, the veracity of this may be somewhat suspect, along with most of the marketing guff that AV labels put out (the label also claims she's a college student), but you can't argue with the attractive Eurasian ...

Japanese television unwittingly gave air time to a popular porn star when it was interviewing people about the recent SoftBank network outrage that left users in Tokyo completely without phone connections for several hours. While not named in the interviews, Momo Sakura was one of the people the cameras spoke to about their experience dealing with the blackout. Sakura was filmed at a train station complaining about her inability to use Line or make calls. And this is what Momo Sakura looks like during the day when different kinds of cameras are rolling. You have give ...

Asahi Mizuno, one of the biggest names in adult video, announced her retirement from porn on December 1st. Posting the announcement on Twitter, she says she will continue to appear in AV until the end of February, which marks her sixth anniversary since entering the industry. Of course, it's possible that she might just be leaving her current agency, C-more Entertainment, and will graduate to somewhere else under a new performer name, perhaps after a short period of time off. Either way, fans have less than three months of official new Asahi Mizuno porn to consume. We can only ...

We're starting to wind down for the year, looking forward to Christmas and taking a view back over the months that have passed for the best adult news stories and toys in Japan. Perhaps we'll put that in a post one day soon later in the month. What were the best porn titles we saw during 2018? With so many great debuts throughout the year, that's a harder question to answer. Plus there were all the great AV we saw with established stars. It's a question that becomes especially tricky when exciting releases like this burst onto the market in December, making us forget much of what we ...

Ten years of Muteki! It's hard to believe that a porn label that is now so central to our lives and this blog's content is only a decade old! Muteki specializes in crossovers, launching adult video careers for women after they first build up a following as a model, gravure idol, music idol, actress, or something in mainstream entertainment. Over the years, it has overseen the porn debuts of many prominent stars, including Miyako Akane, Mero Imai, Miu Nakamura, Anri Sakaguchi, and Chiharu Komatsu. Now you can celebrate the label's incredible achievements with a special pillow ...

Have you ever seen those outdoor shots in Japanese adult video and wondered where they are in real life? While a lot of AV is shot in studios and rented hotel rooms, the street shots are done for real (probably without a permit?), though with revealing names (like an actual university's) blurred out. Using Google Street View, some diligent netizens in Japan have tracked down a few of the real-world locations in Tokyo that were used in certain porn releases. It makes for an oddly satisfying experience to identify them, especially if you are familiar with the place. At times, of ...

When Eightman Production announced the major debut of a new porn star in January 2019 and teased fans that it was a former idol, it didn't take studious netizens long to identify the lady in question. Though the PR boasted that the lady in question was an idol who has appeared on TV variety shows, released a photo book, and done a stint as a regular gravure idol, the truth did not quite live up to the hype. Some speculated, without much actual hope, that it might be 19-year-old Manaka Shida, who has just announced her graduation from Keyakizaka46. Now THAT would be a development ...
