The legendary former Japanese porn star Sora Aoi has had her remarkable career, and most specifically her amazing popularity in China, chronicled in a rather excellent article by the BBC.
It’s fascinating to read about why she in particular became such a phenomenon in China, something that she still is, but what I didn’t know is how much of a part she personally played in her popularity over there.
A really good read that also tells us a lot about Japanese-Chinese relations and just why her rise to prominence was so controversial in ways beyond porn.
