The Japanese porn industry is incredibly prolific and its output is fueled in part by parody releases: adult video productions that operate at a kind of meta level, inspired by a recent incident, social trend, or something from popular culture. Sometimes, since parody occupies an ambiguous place under the rubric of Japanese law, this can get the producers into trouble. The recent AV release based on the DJ Soda groping incident was canceled prior to release, possibly due to the social media backlash or perhaps out of fears of legal repercussions (at a time when things are difficult for the ...

The wheels of the Japanese adult video juggernaut trundle on, demanding fresh material, new performers, and novel inspiration. As frequently noted on these digital pages, JAV often turns to parody to sustain itself, resulting in a kind of meta industry that is highly topical and self-aware. The DJ Soda groping incident at a music festival last summer, in which the star was touched by several male and female members of the audience, was a big scandal, though ultimately the Korean performer has overcome the negativity and cemented her fandom in Japan with a debut photo book and cover shoot ...

There is one way to tell that a social phenomenon in Japan has become significant: when it has inspired either its own parody porn production or an adult toy. As noted many times here, Japanese adult video frequently draws upon real-life incidents to make parodies. Examples include the women's support group that has faced harassment, the assault of a music idol, and -- and this is where things get very meta -- an AV that lampooned the recently introduced porn legislation. It is a similar situation with the Japanese sex toys industry, such as the Uber Eats onahole and the masturbator based ...

Japanese adult video studio Faleno is to release a porn parody of Colabo, an organization that helps women in need. This has ignited a huge amount of attention this week, but the context requires some explanation for the uninitiated. Colabo runs a shelter for victims of sexual and domestic violence called the Tsubomi Cafe, which is effectively a large pink bus. It can often be found in Kabukicho, which attracts young runaways and desperate women who may be drawn into prostitution or compensated dating. In a very bizarre turn of events, the organization and its activities found themselves ...

We think the Japanese adult industry has a thing for Makoto Shinkai. The anime director's work has served as inspiration for toys and porn. In addition to a porn parody starring Ayane Suzukawa, Your Name. was reimagined as an onahole a few years ago by Tama Toys, soon followed by yet another pocket pussy by a different maker. Shinkai's next anime, Weathering With You, was the source for Tama Toys' aptly named bondage-themed Toilet Bowl With You Onahole. It also inspired an adult video called Pussy with You, starring Aoi Kururugi, plus an "ejaculation app" called Masturbation with ...

We have written before about the massive impact the new porn law is having on the Japanese adult video industry. But here's a positive impact -- well, kind of. It's a good example of how the adult video industry is always quick to respond to recent events and exploit it as material for its output. And as is often the case, it does this in a parodic way. In a new release (scheduled to come out January 20), the controversial AV law serves as the whole basis for the plot! In the AV from Faleno Tube (1MFO00003), the premise is that the female performer has canceled at the last moment "due to ...

Splatoon streaming and virtual YouTubers are both big in Japan. What happens when they get together? A whole lot of craziness, it seems. Some streamers are facing a backlash from players worried that Nintendo might ban all Splatoon livestreams after VTuber Kikaze Kimiko and others modded their games to show an adult video while they played. They chroma keyed the enemy ink to make it transparent and play over it a live-action cosplay porn featuring DeepWebUnderground, a popular virtual YouTuber who has already inspired her own adult toys. The results looked like Splatoon 3 with porn playing ...

Japanese porn's inventive penchant for parody is well documented on the pages of this blog. Past examples include Demon Slayer, Joker, and Weathering with You. The latest to catch our attention is a parody of Tokyo Revengers, a franchise that has spawned a bestselling manga series, TV anime series, and recent live-action film adaptation. Starring Akari Mitani (who recently got her own clone masturbator toy!), the 152-minute release (HMN00077) from Honnaka is directed by Nao Masaki and came out November 23 in Japan. Like the original series, the AV has a time travel premise. Akari has ...

We normally find ourselves writing with glee about Japanese adult video's penchant for parody, in which the industry often reacts very quickly to events and cultural phenomena with pastiche porn par excellence. But this time, JAV was beaten to the punch by porn makers in Taiwan. Netflix's Korean hit Squid Game, whose sex scenes we have written about, has now inspired a porn rip-off on the East Asian island nation. Details are slim, though news about the upcoming porn release is spreading online for the past week or so. With the original drama's themes of punishment and torture, it's ripe ...

Besides COVID and the change in prime minister, the biggest story of the year in Japan is probably the massive box office success of the anime version of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The popularity of the franchise has skyrocketed and, inevitably, we have got adult parodies, since parody is such a regular component of the porn and toy market here. First there was an early porn parody starring Mitsuki Nagisa. Now Tama Toys, the leaders in this kind of toy, have come along and conjured up a superbly made parody onahole. The Kimetsu no Yaeba Fangs Onahole is playing on the popularity of ...
