Minamo was recently denied entry to Hong Kong along with more than two dozen peers in the adult video industry, forcing the cancellation of the Mega Fans Event.
Nonetheless, the leading performer is still determined to end her career on a high. Before she retires at the end of the year, Minamo has auctioned off her possessions -- and on TV.
Minamo appears in the first episode of a new show, Saraba's Lega Auction, streaming on Abema every Wednesday at 11 p.m., starting on November 11.
The show is a money game hosted by Tetsuya Morita of the comedy duo Saraba Seishun no Hikari. ...
The upcoming Mega Fans Expo in Hong Kong was abruptly cancelled on November 11. Though organizers did not specify a reason, it is reported that multiple Japanese porn star guests were denied entry to Hong Kong.
Despite reportedly obtaining visas in advance for the high-profile event, nearly 30 adult video performers were denied immigration and sent back to Japan, according to a report in the South China Morning Post.
The Mega Fans Expo was due to take place from November 13 to November 15 at the Regal Airport Hotel. Scheduled appearances included 28 leading Japanese porn stars, such as ...
The former momograci music idol Momona Kozakura (小桜ももな) is making her porn debut as Haruka Tachibana (橘春花) in a new release from IDEAPOCKET's First Impression series of adult videos.
Releasing November 10, Old School Idol Who Dedicated Her Youth to Live Performances and Gravure Now Super-Nervously Makes Her Solo Debut in Porn is, as the title very clearly states, nominally about a 24-year-old's progression from music idol to adult performer after six years as a music idol. The idol is presented as a "pure" young lady whose hobbies are playing the piano, doing tea ceremony, ...
Who's your favorite porn star nude pose? It's a question often on our mind.
And the choice is yours to make with the Premium Nude Pose Book, a series of photo books that has been going for several years (previously known as the Visual Nude Pose Book).
As the name suggests, it features nude shoots of Japanese porn stars by various photographers, though these are somewhat more tasteful shoots than others, and tend to avoid showing full-frontal nudity. The models, who are all leading adult video performers, pose with arms covering their nipples and crotch (at least on the covers).
They all ...
In an interview with the Bunshun Online, Japanese adult video star Minamo has described her childhood as a lonely time spent as an outsider who "had no friends."
Ahead of her retirement from porn in December, the ravishingly beautiful star says everything changed when she entered high school. She underwent a dramatic transformation and people began to compare her to actress Kasumi Arimura (even though Minamo is now famously a dead ringer for actress Mitsuki Takahata) and became immensely popular with the boys. Although she finally achieved her dream of joining the cool crowd, Minamo says ...
Kaoru Oshima made a huge splash when he debuted in the adult film industry in 2014 as the first otokonoko (male-to-female crossdressing) adult film star. He (we are assuming Oshima goes by "he") retired from the porn industry at age 25 the following year and has since expanded his career as a TV personality and writer, similar to the likes of Minamo, who recently debuted as a novelist ahead of her retirement from JAV.
Having entered the industry via gay adult videos as a biological male, why did Oshima shift his focus to mainstream adult films as a femboy performer? Oshima sat for an ...
The leading Japanese adult video performer Minamo, who is set to retire in December, has released her debut novel.
Her first novel, Mother's Boat of Mud, went on sale on September 14, published by Kadokawa, one the biggest publishers in Japan.
With her 192-page literary debut, Minamo follows in the footsteps of porn peers like Mana Sakura, who has published several books.
As expected, the release her generated a lot of media attention. She was recently interviewed by Web The Television about her new novel.
It started with perhaps the obvious question: Why did she choose family as the ...
The popular Japanese porn star Hana Kuraki (倉木華) has reportedly passed away at the age of 25.
She was found dead in on September 12. No cause of death has been announced, though the news has immediately led to speculation that it might have been suicide.
The Kanagawa native made her debut for S1 No. 1 Style in May 2024 and continued to work as a performer for S1. Kuraki's fame was rising overseas too, especially in Asia, where JAV is very popular. She appeared at the Taiwan Adult Expo in Kaohsiung in April this year.
She also released a nude photo book, Flower, whose title was a ...
It's rare for a Japanese adult video star's rise to fame to be so rapid and so well earned.
Kanna Seto is now such a major presence in the JAV industry that it's easy to forget that she only made her debut in early 2025, so fast has her ascent been. Almost immediately, short clips of her were going viral, and her debut quickly transformed into one of the biggest names in porn today.
She has built up a fandom not just in Japan but also in other parts of Asia and beyond. She is loved by millions for her girl-next-door face, especially that winning smile, her pale skin, her long and slender ...
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 ...
