A new Japanese porn release appears to parody the 2024 Masahiro Nakai scandal, in which the former SMAP member and TV staple was accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague. The woman is generally assumed to be Nagisa Watanabe, though this has never been officially confirmed.
The controversy stemmed not just over the allegation but over whether or not Fuji TV had allowed a years-long system to develop in which female TV presenters were treated like "rewards" to be given to powerful men in the industry. It abruptly ended the career of Nakai, one of the most visible presences on TV ...
The days are chilly, the nights are long. We need something -- or someone -- to cheer up our lives. And that someone might just be Mei Hayashi.
The slender beauty has made her adult video debut in a 147-minute release from Ideapocket. First Impression 190: A Mysterious Beautiful Girl Seemingly out of a Fairy Tale (IPZZ780) came out January 9.
Mei is a tender 161 centimeters (5.3 feet) and 40 kilograms (88 pounds), making her a perfect choice of porn performer for guys who like petite Japanese or fun-sized Asians. Her very pale skin and body further accentuates her alluring charm. She ...
A new porn release is based on leading gravure idol, YouTuber, and mahjong player Sayaka Okada.
As a gradol, it often helps to have a side line (e.g., as a race queen or ring girl) or a schtick to set you apart (like Sara Oshino, who is also a calligrapher).
In Okada's case, she's famous for being a professional mahjong player. In many ways, it makes sense, since Okada is half-Chinese and her interest in the game is perhaps the result of her upbringing partly in China. A graduate of the prestigious private college Aoyama Gakuin University, she's been modeling since 2011, in both fashion ...
The Japanese porn star Rin Amasawa has revealed why she took half a year off: to get her whole back tattooed.
She showed off her body tattoos, which also cover her arms, chest, and back on one leg, in a post on social media earlier this week that quickly went viral and sparked a debate over her decision.
As of writing, the original post on X has been viewed 44.6 million times since November 17, which demonstrates either the size of the response or the arbitrary nature of the current X algorithm.
Rin was relaxed about attracting a potentially negative response from people, noting: "I ...
In August, an influencer provoked a small scandal by posting selfies of herself at Tokyo Disneyland in an unbuttoned shirt and clearly intending to show off her bra and cleavage.
The backlash and attention got so much that Uta had to delete her original posts.
We didn't write about it at the time because we were traveling and the excitement seemed to die down quite quickly. These little "outrages" come and go, like the waxing and waning of the interwebs' lunar cycle. It was also the latest in a series of small scandals about influencers and others wearing provocative clothing to theme ...
The veteran gravure idol Miho Abe has said that she has twice turned down lucrative offers to appear in porn.
The model and actor shared on X on November 3 some information about the past offers in response to an impertinent fan (whose original post has been deleted).
I turned down offers of an adult contract for ¥100 million two years ago and ¥30 million 10 years ago, but I do what I do because I love it. Of course, it's a job that's for the money, but please don't be rude to adult actresses. It's a very difficult job, and it's completely different from what I do. Leave me alone.
When ...
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 ...
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 ...
