One the best porn debuts in Japan this month is by Kaira Haneda in a release from Madonna, which specializes in adult video productions featuring older performers.
Haneda is meant to be a former member of the entertainment industry (so, either an actress or model) who retired four years ago. She married and moved overseas for her husband's work, but their sex life has apparently dried up and she is keen to satisfy her desires in other ways. Haneda is now 34 years old and making her JAV debut as an older performer in a 120-minute release (JUR-839).
Of course, there's a lot of ...
MYLORD was one of the iconic parts of the Shinjuku retail landscape from 1984 to 2025. The somewhat dubiously named mall mostly housed apparel shops, frequented by young women and staffed by the same demographic.
After MYLORD closed, many lamented what would replace it -- and it seems that some of the women who worked there have moved into a very different industry. Or at least one has.
Hinako Tomine (東峯日奈子) is a new Japanese adult video star who makes her porn debut with a release from E-Body that came out June 26. The 148-minute release (OFES-032) emphasizes Tomine's H-cup ...
Move over ladies, there's a newbie in town and she's quickly attracting buzz from the guys.
In the competitive world of Japanese adult video, where new performers debut weekly, to say nothing of the uncredited amateurs, it takes something to stand out from the crowd. Nozomi Suzuki (鈴木希) might just have it.
She made her debut in March at the age of 21 and has since released two more AVs (one in April, another in May), all with S1 No. 1 Style. At a rate of one a month, that's not a massively prolific output, but since the introduction of legislation on porn that insists on a ...
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 ...
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 ...
Yesterday we published an article about Neru Nagahama's comeback photo book, the Keyakizaka46 music idol's first such release in eight years.
Nagahama is a rare case of a music idol from an AKB or Sakamichi group who has maintained a career after graduating. Most of the more minor members disappear into obscurity -- to say nothing of the many, many other wannabe idols who audition but never even get into the minor ranks.
And some wind up doing porn.
Netizens have identified a former auditionee for Sakurazaka46 (as Keyakizaka46 is now known) as a new porn star Nagi Yasaka ...
It might sound like a contradiction in terms but Japanese adult video is transnational. By which we mean that Japanese women aren't the only ones working in the industry. There are plenty of foreign performers too, including white women (especially if they look exotic).
Though Caucasian and biracial beauties often have the most success, you can also regularly find examples of women from other parts of East Asia.
The latest in this long and alluring lineage is Tiny Lu (胎尼), the fun-sized Taiwanese influencer and model who is making her Japanese AV debut this month. Tiny Lu's first ...
One of the most highly anticipated Japanese adult video debuts this month is that of Hikari Ogura (小椋ひかり), whose first release comes out on April 15 from E-Body.
Marunouchi OL's Most Amazing Breasts: Shocking Body Amateur Trial AV Debut (EBWH222) has, as the title suggests, an office lady theme and really places the emphasis on Ogura's tits. And what tits they are: these J-cup boobs weigh over 5 kilograms (11 pounds).
If the marketing is to be believed -- and in JAV, publicity is always a little suspect -- Ogura is a real OL who is giving porn a try for just a single release, so ...
One of the most highly anticipated upcoming porn debuts this month is that of someone identified only as Sayaka, whose first adult video (JUR029) comes out from porn label Madonna on March 11.
She is meant to be a former entertainer (meaning either an actor or TV celebrity) but we presume can't be famous or it would defeat the marketing value of the porn debut (since fans won't hear about it if her full name is not disclosed).
The producers have chosen to keep her name disguised -- and her face. While there's nothing unusual about adopting a new name when switching to porn (sometimes this ...
An Anzu is advertised as a former gravure idol who has made the switch to adult video.
These cases are actually quite common and sometimes it's just marketing guff, or -- as recently with Kanna Seno -- the initial gravure "career" was already planned as a publicity boost for the AV career.
An Anzu does seem to have worked in gravure, but either under another name or without much success. We could find some info on her first image DVD, released last July, but not much else.
Boasting I-cup breasts, it's not difficult to see why 20-year-old An Anzu would appeal to porn producers.
Her ...
