Given the huge volume of porn produced in Japan and, thus, the large number of women involved, it is inevitably that many of the performers will have families after they retire from the industry. The question of former or current adult video stars raising families is one that occasionally appears in the media, often with a degree of sympathy (for the abuse they can suffer online) and curiosity. Spa! recently featured an interview with AiRis, an up-and-coming gravure idol and singer who is also the daughter of 46-year-old former porn star Mariko Sata. Single mom Sata was active in the ...

Regular readers will remember the porn star Riasu Mizutani, the translator who moonlights in adult video (or vice versa). She was recently included in a book about intelligent JAV performers but also announced her pregnancy, which is likely to mean the end of her career (about 17 credits and counting). Bunshun Online recently published a two-part interview with Mizutani, who was born in Boston, was raised partly in the UK (where her father was working), and made her debut in the industry in 2023. In it, she talks about her comfortable upbringing and what she was like as a child, which ...

Beloved for her slinky body, boyish looks, and short hair, the Japanese porn star Riasu Mizutani has announced her pregnancy on social media. We had noted Mizutani's recent social media absence and lack of releases, after making a bit of a splash with her debut in 2023. She broke her silence on March 1 with the announcement, accompanied by a picture of her cradling her pregnant belly. Mizutani has carved out a very unusual presence in the adult video industry, mainly because she is a highly educated young woman who also works an English-Japanese translator. Since emerging on the scene, ...

The porn star Ayumi Kuroki (黒木歩) made her debut in 2010. She hasn't had many credits in the past few years but has not officially retired. Her most recent release is a lesbian-themed production that comes out later this month. The performer is now 43 and very much in the MILF/jukujo category. She also directs and sings in a band, and holds private events for fans. She gave an interview to Spa! last month in which she described what it is like to raise a child while pursuing her line, similar to a interview that married porn star and mom Marina Shiraishi also gave the publication in ...

In a recent interview with Spa!, Japanese porn star Marina Shiraishi (白石茉莉奈) discussed some of the background to her highly successful career. Shiraishi made her debut back in 2013 and is now 38 years old, making her a jukujo mature performer. But many people are not perhaps aware that she is married and has a child, both from before her entry in the industry. It's more common for JAV performers to marry after they retire and those who do marry during their careers can end in divorce. "I thought I was an unusual case," she admits. Her son is now 15 years old -- and we truly ...

Former top adult video star Sola (Sora) Aoi has given her first on-camera interview in four years. Once the most famous Japanese porn star, and popular also in other parts of Asia, Sora Aoi announced her marriage at the start of 2018 to DJ Non. When she then announced she was pregnant at the end of that year, she experienced quite a lot of abuse on social media. Despite not appearing in porn since 2011, many trolls still criticized her for becoming a mother, saying it was "sad for the children." Now aged 42, Sola Aoi has two kids with DJ Non. She gave birth to twins in May 2019. She ...

If you thought that when Sola Aoi got married, you would see the last of her, think again. The popular former adult video star is now heavily pregnant but isn't content to sit back and wait for nature to take its course. No, even the imminent start of maternity is a way for her to connect with her legions of fans and, if we're frank, take her fame (as in 655,000-Instagram-followers-level fame) to new extremes. "Welcome to the world, Sola's baby [sic]," says the publicity for Abema TV's live broadcast of the birth of her twins. Yes, 35-year-old Sola (sometimes spelled Sora) is going to ...
