Another week, another new Japanese adult video debut.
This time, the newbie porn performer who has caught our eye is Ruu Totsuka (十束るう), who used to be known professionally as Shiho Nagisa (渚志帆).
Her debut (code STARS-901-T) came out on SODstar digitally on August 30, and then on DVD on September 21.
Apparently, she's been working as a voice and stage actor since the age of six! She's meant to be currently a gravure model, though we had never seen her before. Regardless, her 20-year career just entered a whole new chapter.
The 26-year-old native of Kumamoto has incredible ...
Frequent porn crossovers, where female celebrities from other walks of life (music, acting, sports, etc.) move into adult video, mean the JAV industry is populated by quite a varied roster of talent.
Likewise, established porn stars sometimes branch out into other fields like mainstream acting and even writing (several porn performers are novelists, for example, such as Mana Sakura).
But off the top of our head, this is the first instance we know of a JAV star who is also a translator.
Riasu Mizutani (水谷梨明日) made her porn debut in April on Moodzy, but her regular job is as a ...
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 ...
The ero-cosplayer Yuko Haruno (春野ゆこ) will make her porn debut in an adult video that comes out digitally on May 30, followed by a physical release in July.
The epic, 217-minute AV production (1STARS00799), filmed in 4K, from SODstar promises to make much of her pale skin and beautiful, massive breasts (supposedly an I cup). The publicity is also emphasizing Haruno's versatility with cosplaying a wide range of characters, which puts her in good stead for different porn scenarios.
They say that all newbies looking to break into an industry now need a platform to sell ...
Ah, April. The glorious month of the cherry blossom (depending on where you are in Japan) and new starts, because both the academic and fiscal years begin.
During April, youngsters up and down the land enter school or college. It is also the time of year when the fresh intake of corporate hires kick off their careers at the company they chose. These people are typically in their early twenties and straight out of college. Many corporations hold an entrance ceremony of some sorts to welcome the newbies, who sit in formal suits looking forward to becoming corporate drones.
In the adult ...
In March, we wrote about the former Self-Defense Force nurse and sex worker running for election for a local assembly in Tokyo this month.
Hasumin Yoshikawa has promised to debut in porn after the poll, whether she wins a seat or not.
Well, her party, the anti-NHK fringe right-wing populist Politician Girls 48 Party (aka Political Party Girls 48), has become mired in in-fighting among its leadership and accusations about misappropriate use of party funds, but Yoshikawa continues to campaign in Setagaya. In fact, we even received one of her pamphlets through our letterbox at the Tokyo ...
Newbie Japanese porn star Momona Koibuchi (恋渕ももな) made her debut in April last year and is currently affiliated with SOD Star. In a recent two-part interview with Bunshun, the busty performer describes her entry into the industry.
After graduating high school, the 23-year-old worked as a civil servant dealing with tax and social health insurance.
But her experience of regular sexual harassment at work during this time led, she claims, her to pivot into a whole different career in adult video. Her male colleagues would ask her about her bra size on a daily basis, or forcibly kissed ...
As always, the year saw a lot of new porn stars make their debuts in the Japanese adult video industry. Some of the most prominent ones were featured here on these digital pages, though even we struggled to keep up with the sheer number of new talent arriving on the scene.
Here is a list of some of our favorites and highlights from 2022, in no particular order.

Not satisfied with the recent rush of gravure idols' photo books? Even the ones like Minami Yamada's that are semi-nude?
Then you need something more reliable.
Minamo burst into our lives in 2021 when she made the switch from a brief stint in gravure (where she worked as Shizuku Taiyo from 2019) to porn, and hasn't looked back since.
One of the most popular adult video performers working in the industry today, she is currently attacked to porn production company T-Powers continues to release JAV titles (we count something like twice as many releases in 2022 as her debut year).
Her first ...
The former idol Riona Yuki (結城りおな) who made TV appearances has launched an adult video career, changing her professional name to Alice Shinomiya (四宮ありす).
Netizens are now scrambling to figure out if they ever caught her on TV. Screen grabs indicate that she did appear on certain shows, but did she leave much of an impression? (Japanese TV shows are notoriously overcrowded with celebrities all competing for attention.)
Yuki reportedly belonged to Amuse, a major management agency for music idols and celebrities.
It is a strange case that someone who was a guest on ...
