Someone recently asked me if Yuu Asakura, who was my first model for promoting The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan, is the Japanese porn star. Since the subject came up previously, I said no and promptly forgot about it.
Today, The Tokyo Reporter posted an article that Yu Asakura won the "best actress" award at the Sky PerfecTV! Adult Broadcasting Awards 2011 this month in Tokyo's Chiyoda district.
Above, Yuu Asakura and Armand at the press and kick-off party for the play, "Utsutsu" in November 2010. Yuu was a featured player in the production.
Out of curiosity, I took a look at the article and the pornstar Yu Asakura looks nothing like Yuu Asakura (I've seen pictures of her before and she is pretty, but I think Yuu is prettier). Also, note how their first names are spelled differently.
Hopefully, this will put to rest the confusion over the two.
