Without further ado, then - here they are, in roughly chronological order.

We chose a range of JAV idols from slightly varying time periods, though mostly it’s idols who were active in the early 1990s or early 2000s. We saw a similar list on a Japanese website and we adapted it into our own version. Adding to this, here are seven retired porn stars that deserve to go down in history.īefore the comments start filling up with anger and fury, rest assured we’re not saying that these ladies are the only ex-AV idols worth remembering or that they are necessary the “best” or “hottest.” But they are (with one or two exceptions) perhaps less well known than some of their peers and we hope that this post goes some way to correcting that state of affairs. We previously looked at a list of AV stars from the 1990s and 2000s that Japanese men now in their forties remember fondly. Sure, we love all the current and recent Japanese porn stars, but let’s take a trip back a few more years to remember some of the stars of yesterday, long before there was streaming or even DVDs. Let’s put the “video” back into adult video.
