The singer Yuki Miura (三浦由希) has been fired from the four-member Japanese idol group Luna×Holic after it emerged she was moonlighting as a porn star.
Miura’s porn debut comes out today, January 25, in Japan. The 60-minute limited edition (SBMO01226) is followed by another 60-minute release (SBMO01208) in late February. The releases, which have swimwear and schoolgirl themes, clearly emphasize the young idol’s busty assets.
(To clarify what wasn’t clear when we first published this post: these are fully nude videos but don’t seem to feature hardcore/on-screen sex.)
A statement issued by the group on January 21 said that Miura, known in the group has Nano-chan, was no longer a member as of that day, following the discovery of infringements of the rules against “betraying” fans and other members.
Since Miura is appearing in these porn releases under her regular name, it wasn’t like she was trying to hide her side career. Perhaps she hoped such activities would be permissible under her contract.
After all, the group didn’t seem to have an issue with her gravure image video releases, including at least one in October last year that featured nudity.
The idol group launched in 2020 as lunatic (Kari), assuming its current name in January 2021. Now with the sudden loss of a quarter of its membership, it may have to disband or rebrand yet again.
