Call us morbid, but we have a strange fascination with the afterlives of gravure idols.
This is a competitive, cruel industry, one where young women are discarded after two or three years. From gracing the covers of the weekly tabloids like Spa! and, if you're lucky, releasing digital or print photo books, you might descend quickly into obscurity when the editors and people behind the scenes decide to make someone else a star for another brief run.
Given the open secret of the casting couch, it is hardly a giant leap of logic to see why some, if not many, gradols go on to second (or, let's ...
One of our pet projects is finding out what happens to idols and celebrities are they stop being gravure, music, or adult video idols.
Sometimes they can struggle to find work and their careers can take unexpected turns.
Some go into acting. Some graduate to porn. Some work in nurseries. Some go into hostessing or prostitution. Some teach yoga. One or two become manga writers or academics. A few even go into politics.
A former junior idol, Hirona Oura (大浦央菜), has found a second career and revealed a whole other, more mature, and much more alluring side to her body as a lingerie ...
While the world rages with unease with the virus whose name we won't mention, we are holed up snug at home, devouring the latest releases in Japanese porn and adult toys.
Among the former, we spotted a nice release that we reckon our readers will love as much as us...
Miu Nakamura's porn career continues to go from strength to strength, proving that JAV crossovers don't have to fizzle out after just one or two releases.
Her latest effort (SSNI00715), which came out in mid-February from S1 No.1 Style, is a 144-minute epic with the 28-year-old now looking older and more mature, but in ways ...
Former Magical Punchline and Idoling!!! member Rena Sato (佐藤麗奈) has posed for her first serious gravure shoot and it's a good one.
She left the idol world for good back in 2018 and since last year has been working as an independent "talent."
In the February 18 issue of weekly magazine FLASH, the 21-year-old has posed for a lavish gravure shoot showing off her cute body in lingerie on a bed and while lying in a bath.
If you want to know what Rena's pert butt cheeks look like when wet, you're in for a treat. Especially if you also like juicy fruit.
Don't know about you, ...
The tabloid, Otakara, claims that the unnamed former SKE48 idol is now working at Osaka's Tobita Shinchi red-light district as a prostitute.
According to the magazine, the idol offers blow jobs with a condom for ¥16,000, though kissing is not allowed. Full sex with a condom is also apparently possible.
The idol joined the group in 2009 but was an underdog in the elections. Hmm...we wonder who it could be.
We have no way of verifying the truth behind this short of visiting every establishment in Tobita Shinchi (sounds like a fun assignment!), nor have we yet seen the full article in the ...
Another week, another exciting AV debut. This time it is the busty Inori Fukazawa, apparently a former gravure idol, who will release her first porn video on New Year's Day.
Start 2020 off with a bang by watching Inori getting, well, banged.
The 150-minute release (MIFD094) from Moodyz sees Inori getting screwed by a couple of guys. Judging from the preview images, she has two cocks to deal with at one point and at another is sucking a lucky guy off while her face is covered by a serious coating of cum. Now that's what we call celebrating the New Year.
The publicity ...
We wrote about the adult video debut of Tina Nanami back in late 2018 but could only find time in our busy schedules finally to check it out last week.
Released on January 10th, "Rin toshite hakanai" (roughly, Dignified Ephemeral) (1STARS00025) from SOD Star is a solid first porn title and Tina Nanami (七海ティナ), who is apparently a former Nagoya underground idol (chika idol) and Shibuya 109 Men's sales representative, should have a bright career ahead of her.
Pale skin? Big bust? Beautiful face? Tina's got it all!
Her second AV release (1STARS00037) already came out on February 7th ...
We are currently marooned out in the Japanese countryside, far from the sights and sounds of Tokyo's kinky wonderscape and the joys of attractive ladies. Fortunately an Internet connection is keeping us sane.
As we round out the year, we wanted to highlight another recent development in the busy world of adult video -- and something to look forward to in the New Year!
This time it's Cocona Yuzuki (aka Kokona Yuzuki), a voice actress (seiyuu) who has been vocal in the past about sexual coercion in the industry. At the ripe old age of 23, after 13 years of work as an idol, gravure model, ...
The Education Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi has apologized for using an official car to pay visits to a "sexy yoga" studio.
It follows a sexual harassment scandal involving a leading bureaucrat in the finance ministry, who was recently forced to resign after audio emerged of him asking to hug and touch the breasts of a female newspaper reporter.
The tabloids have gleefully parsed the details of this new transgression, such as the private oil massage Hayashi received from the yoga instructor. Was there also a bit of rub and tug?!
We, on the other hand, are more intrigued by the instructors. ...
We love gravure and AV idols, but not just the ones currently in fashion. We also like learning about the thousands of women working in gravure and AV do after their careers are over.
Some go into prostitution or working as a hostess. Some become mainstream TV presenters or actors -- or even politicians. If they're lucky, some snag the right man and settle down to a quiet life of marriage and family. Some, though, fade into obscurity and poverty.
The actress Hikari Mitsushima is an acclaimed and popular talent today but started her career as an teen idol. The porn star Nayuka Mine is now a ...
