Last year, police in Hong Kong cracked down on foreign sex workers, arresting several women including former Japanese porn star Noa Aizawa.
It's well known that active and former adult video performers do sex work. It can be especially lucrative to engage in such work outside Japan, particularly other parts of Asia, where JAV is immensely popular. If your career is flagging in Japan or you want a change of pace, you can enjoy a good lifestyle with affluent clients abroad.
It seems that situation in Hong Kong is much the same, with media reporting the arrest on September 5 of 11 members of a ...
The actor Kyoko Fukada is now 40 years old but just as hot as ever, as her cover shoot for weekly magazine Friday amply demonstrates.
Known for her curvy beach body that she was happy to show off even as she entered her thirties, Kyoko Fukada was long a favorite of gravure magazines and this marks her first such shoot like this in some time.
Though usually the kind of celebrity you would expect to see with a smile on her face, Fukada was diagnosed with adjustment disorder in 2021 and took a break from work for several months. She's now firmly back in the public eye and enjoying quite a ...
There are jukujo mature porn stars. And then there's Yuko Ogasawara (小笠原裕子).
The 88-year-old is probably the world's oldest porn performer.
We found a couple of recently published longish interviews with her on Shueisha Online.
The obvious questions to start with are: When and why did she begin performing?
Her husband died when she was 59 and she then entered the world of snack bars, working as a "mama" as one bar for seven years from the age of 61. Even after giving that up in 68, it was still several years until she entered the adult video industry.
She spent the ...
It's no secret that the Tokyo Kinky team has a thing for Mariya Nagao.
The former AKB48 hottie now works as a model, actress, and general TV celebrity.
And though it's hardly a surprise that a woman of her age, beauty, and social opportunities would not have lovers, we can't help but feel a bit peeved and sad at the news that broke recently about her new boyfriend.
Apparently, Mariyagi is in a relationship with a former Kabukicho host, having met through a mutual friend.
Fresh off releasing a ravishing photo book earlier this year, she's been spotted by weekly tabloid Shukan Bunshun in ...
There are blasts from the past, and then there are blasts from the past.
If you are long-term fan of gravure, then you will know of Yinling (Yan Yinling), a major force in the industry in the late 1990s and 2000s.
She moved to Japan at the age of 10 and enjoyed a successful career as a female wrester, race queen, singer, and gravure model, but got married in 2008 to a Japanese man and effectively retired from the industry, moving back to Taiwan in 2011.
Now aged 47 and the mother of three children, the Taiwanese-born model also known as Yinling of Joy is making a comeback with her first ...
We recently wrote about AKB48 idol Mion Mukaichi's somewhat surprising decision to do a semi-nude photo book while still a member of the supergroup.
As we mentioned in our post, most music idols wait until graduating before posing semi-nude or nude. And in fact, they are often forced to do something like that to build any sort of career in a crowded marketplace.
A case in point is the ravishing Satomi Kaneko, who carved out a name for herself as a provocative, sensual model after a brief stint in AKB48 in 2007.
She started doing gravure in 2014 after an acting role in a sexploitation movie ...
Miri Hanai (花井美里) turns 39 this October but these recent photos prove that she's as alluring as ever.
The mature gravure idol and musician has firmly entered jukujo territory, and though she's no longer enjoying the success of her twenties, when she pumping out photo books several times a year at one point during the mid-2000s, she's still got her fans and released a new photo book in 2021.
Known for her busty looks (a J or H cup, depending on the marketing), she made her debut in 2003. That's a 20-year career, a milestone few in her competitive industry achieve, and one that ...
The lovely Marika Matsumoto has done her most explicit sex scene to date.
The 38-year-old has seen her career develop in interesting ways recently, moving from a focus on voice acting to regular acting in prominent roles.
This has included major TV dramas, such as Holiday Love for Asahi TV that saw her do a sex scene.
That was non-nude, of course, as things basically always are for mainstream Japanese TV.
She has capitalized on her newfound success with two photo books in 2019 and 2020, and is now a regular face on advertising campaigns and fashion magazine covers.
In Night, Birds ...
The actress Ryoko Hirosue has been accused of adultery with a famous chef.
In a scoop published by Bunshun this week, photos show the 42-year-old going to a luxury hotel where the 45-year-old chef Shusaku Toba, who runs a restaurant called sio that has a Michelin star, was also staying. The two are already known for being close.
There's an aphorism, often muttered by jaded guys on bar stools between swigs of beer, that it doesn't matter what you look like or even about your personality, hot women will inevitably go to bed with you as long as you're funny, tall, rich, or a successful ...
June is almost upon us, set to bring a bevy of new porn debuts by aspiring adult video stars in a competitive industry.
Here are some of the debuts we are looking forward to in the first half of the month.
Released digitally on June 2 and on physical format on June 6, Rina Matsunaga (松永梨杏) makes her JAV debut on Moodyz Diva (MIDV00366). The 162-minute production will surely make a lot out of the 21-year-old college student's H-cup breasts and girl-next-door looks.
The slinky and elegantly beautiful Wakana Sakura (さくらわかな) has an appropriate name for her debut release ...
