Let's put the "video" back into adult video. Sure, we love all the current and recent Japanese porn stars, but let's take a trip back a few more years to remember some of the stars of yesterday, long before there was streaming or even DVDs.
We previously looked at a list of AV stars from the 1990s and 2000s that Japanese men now in their forties remember fondly. Adding to this, here are seven retired porn stars that deserve to go down in history.
Before the comments start filling up with anger and fury, rest assured we're not saying that these ladies are the only ex-AV idols worth ...
A recent survey published by Nikkan Spa! asked 300 Japanese men in their forties to remember the porn they consumed when younger and vote for their favorite or most memorable adult video stars.
Multiple votes were allowed, which is just as well considering how stunning all these ladies are (were?).
Here are the result, ranked in order of the votes they received.
1. Ai Iijima (96 votes)
2. Yuri Komuro (87 votes)
3. Nao Oikawa (86 votes)
4. Sora/Sola Aoi (80 votes)
5. Rui Sakuragi (78 votes)
6. Hitomi Kobayshi (63 votes)
7. Hitomi Shiraishi (55 votes)
8. Mihiro (51 ...
Are you an ass guy? Then you're gonna love this.
Following the immense popularity of our previous lingering look at the under-appreciated charms of Japanese girls' butts, here is an update with some new favorites.
We made selections from currently active gravure idols, adult video stars, actresses, and celebrities. From the plump to the curvy, the flat and cute, the pert and big, we hope there's something for everyone here.
For more examples, check out our "butt" posts on Tumblr.
As always, drop other ideas and suggestions into the comments!

We've been tinkering with this list of Japanese movie sex scenes for a long, long time, and finally think it's ready to share with readers.
What follows is a highly subjective list -- more our personal favorites than anything else -- and, for convenience sake, restricts itself to just the past 20 years or so. We will also continue to update it.
It was intended as an expansion or continuation of our previous list of Japanese actresses who are happy to do sex scenes -- there are fewer than you might think! -- and just grew from there.
Here are the ladies, arranged in alphabetical ...
The "hair nude" is a curious Japanese-English phrase. It refers not just to naked flesh; it's naked flesh with genital hair.
What is "shocking" here is the display of pubic hair, the line by which art and entertainment is usually fettered in Japan. It is fine to have plenty of nudity in films and publications, but to avoid the century-old ambiguous obscenity laws, people censored or did not show actual pubic hair.
The hair nude set out to deliberately show this was something to be challenged, legally and artistically.
While the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki had already made erotic photography ...
Here is an incomplete and imperfect list of East Asia's top sex scandals. Please share more examples in the comments below (but no links to sex tape leak sites, please).
We've divided the list by nation alphabetically.
China
Over in the People's Republic, the Chinese model Zhai Ling (aka Shou Shou) landed in hot water when an alleged sex tape leaked online.
Hong Kong
Perhaps the most famous case on this list, the Edison Chen photos scandal from 2008 brought down the career of one of Hong Kong's biggest stars at the time, led to death threats, and arrest for the person who ...
What are the dark secrets of the entertainment industry in Japan? Here is our subjective list.
1: Sex
Despite the control exerted by talent agencies over idols' private lives (who they can and cannot date, or in the case of some groups, not letting them date or have sex at all), the truth is that there is plenty of sex happening -- it's just not all that pleasant or consensual.
Makura eigyo (sleeping with people to get ahead, like the casting couch) is rampant at many levels of the gravure and idol industry, with female models and entertainers frequently having sex with older male managers ...
This is a working list of idols from AKB48 or sister groups like SKE48 who have graduated onto second careers in nude modeling and/or adult video (AV).
There are rumored to be others but these are what we know of. Share if there are others!
Momona Kito
The most high-profile recent graduate into the porn industry, Momona Kito starred in an ostensibly one-off porn release by Muteki as Yua Mikami. It was such a hit, she has since decided to do more and make a whole career of it.
Rina Nakanishi
Rina Nakanishi was the pioneer, laying the ground for the other idols who have followed in her ...
No, it's not AV idols or even Gravure idols. Nor is it exotic or glamorous fashion models.
It's very mainstream actresses with charming personalities.
Almost all the ladies have "cute" girl-next-door faces rather than sensual, "beautiful" looks.
The number one lady that Japanese men said they most wanted to date was... Haruka Ayase, who also came out top of last year's survey. Local guys like ditzy girls, it seems.
Second was Satomi Ishihara, up from fourth place. It might be all those Aeon English school ads she has been doing. A girl who can speak English (albeit with a ...
