Life and career

Early Career - "Uncensored Movies"

"Adult Video News" has described Sakura Sakurada as having "a fantastic body - lithe, but totally buxom." [cite web |url=http://www.avn.com/movies/58240.html|last=Katz|first=Nathalie|title="Welcome Back Sakura" (review)|month=April|year=2005|accessdate=2008-09-05|work=Adult Video News|language=English] Making her AV debut in 2003,cite web |url=http://www.nx1020.com/actress/sa/sa-003.htm|title=桜田さくら プロフィール (Sakurada Sakura profile)|accessdate=2007-04-06|format= |work=www.nx1020.com/|language=Japanese] , Sakurada became known for starring in so-called "uncensored movies" i.e. the genitalia are not pixilated to disguise them. This technique, known as "fogging," or "mosaic" is used in most Japanese porn movies. [cite news |first=Ryann|last=Connell|title=Exposed genitalia makes breakthrough on Japan's silver screens|url=http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/waiwai/news/20061204p2g00m0dm003000c.html|work=Mainichi Shimbun|publisher= |date=2005-08-05|accessdate=2007-04-06|quote=Japan's Eirin, the name commonly used for the Administration Commission of Motion Picture Code of Ethics, has traditionally taken a hard line against the display of reproductive organs on celluloid, requiring moviemakers to blot them out of view by using a digital mosaic.] Sakurada has appeared in about 40 original "uncensored movies" in her career but that figure has been greatly magnified by numerous re-releases, compilations and online pay-per-view and streaming versions. [Including cite web|url=http://www.1pondo.tv/list_search.php?q=%BA%F9%C5%C4%A4%B5%A4%AF%A4%E9|title=Sakura Sakurada on1pondotv website|accessdate=2008-09-05|publisher= [http://www.1pondo.tv www.1pondo.tv] |language=Japanese and cite web|url=http://www.caribbeancom.com/listpages2/sakurada_sakura.htm|title=Sakura Sakurada on caribbeancom website|accessdate=2008-09-05|publisher= [http://www.caribbeancom.com/ www.caribbeancom.com/] |language=Japanese]

Besides performing in numerous films in the more common genres, such as bukkake, gokkun, naka-dashi, sex in public, and erotic cosplay, Sakurada has also performed in several unusual projects. Among these, she has taken part in a number of fetish productions (primarily for Giga in 2003 and 2004). [cite web| url=http://www.giga-freeks.net/new/giga/html/actress_eng/profile/sakuradasakura.htm| title=Giga-Freeks Profile Sakura Sakurada|accessdate=2008-09-28|publisher= [http://www.giga-freeks.net www.giga-freeks.net] |language=English] featuring scat and omorashi (watersports). In one video for Natural High ("Hot Horny Shemales Fucking Crazy") her costars were two transsexual woman actresses. [cite web| url=http://www.naturalhigh.co.jp/r1/detailes.php?id=NHDT-091| title=Naturalhigh Official Web Site - Title Details|accessdate=2008-06-14|publisher= [http://www.naturalhigh.co.jp/ www.naturalhigh.co.jp] |language=Japanese] She has also made a video ("Mother-Daughter Rice Bowl") with an actress, Satsuki Sakurada, who is identified as her mother and who also performs. [cite web |url=http://www.marx.co.jp/works/detail.cgi?id=62|title=母子どんぶり号泣乱交 (Mother-Daughter Rice Bowl)|accessdate=2008-04-26|publisher= [http://www.marx.co.jp/ www.marx.co.jp] |language=Japanese|quote=娘はベテランＡＶ女優。片や、母は新人ＡＶ女... 母・さつき... 娘・さくら... (Daughter is a veteran AV actress, partner and mother is a new AV woman... Mother: Satsuki... Daughter: Sakura)] In a second video (see "Incest Chapter" released 2004-11-01 in the Filmography) they appear only in separate scenes. In addition, she has appeared in one film ("The Dog Game") involving rape and a scene of bestiality. [cite web |url=http://www.av1.jp/detail.php?no=MAXD-04|title=The Dog Game|accessdate=2008-04-26|publisher= [http://www.av1.jp/list.php?top AV1 Alpha International] |language=Japanese]

Later Career

After a brief retirement in mid-2005, she returned to the adult video scene but from that point appeared almost exclusively in "censored" movies - she has not done an original "uncensored" video since late 2005. Many of her movies since then have been lesbian oriented and several have had Sadomasochism and Bondage (BDSM) themes, including the "Les Noir" series and others for Attackers [cite web |url=http://www.attackers.net/cgi-bin/search/msearch.cgi?query=%BA%F9%C5%C4%A4%B5%A4%AF%A4%E9+les-noir|title=nihongo2|キーワード：桜田さくら les-noir (Search on Sakura Sakurada les-noir)|accessdate=2008-04-26|publisher= [http://www.attackers.net/ www.attackers.net] |language=Japanese] . In these videos, she often appears as the older woman dominating younger girls or men. For most of her career, Sakurada has been a freelance performer not connected with any one studio, but since early 2006, she has been closely associated with the video producer Cross [cite web |url=http://www.crosscross.jp/works/-/list/=/article=actress/id=7581/|title=nihongo2|桜田さくら作品一覧 (List of Sakura Sakurada products)|accessdate=2008-04-26|publisher= [http://www.crosscross.jp/top.html www.crosscross.jp] |language=Japanese] . In March 2008 she made her debut with them as a director in the DVD "The Maniac Lesbians' Filming Party".

Sakurada's other recent activity has been for the new label Zeus, a division of Giga, the studio for which she did a number of fetish videos early in her career. Zeus specializes in fetish material including Heroine torture, scat, enemas, and omorashi. She has starred in two of their videos, "Sadi-Scream Vol. 4" and "Heroine Cruel Story Vol. 7" which indulge in torture, gore and copious amounts of fake blood, with little or no sex content. Additionally, she has also played minor non-sex, non-scat roles in several other Zeus videos in 2008, especially in their "Heroine Excretion Hell" series. [cite web|url=http://www.zeus-web.net/index02.html|title=Zeus Website|accessdate=2008-07-27|publisher= [http://www.zeus-web.net/ www.zeus-web.net] |language=Japanese & English] Otherwise, her appearances as an actress in 2008 have been very limited and almost entirely in lesbian roles.

Other Activities

In addition to her hardcore career, Sakurada has also acted in a number of softcore films, including starring in direct-to-video V-Cinema and theatrical Pink film. In two of her softcore films, she worked with noted Japanese erotic and horror film director Naoyuki Tomomatsu (友松直之) [cite web |url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1381841/|title=IMDB - Naoyuki Tomomatsu|accessdate=2008-06-28|publisher= [http://www.imdb.com/ www.imdb.com] |language=English] and in another with cult horror and science-fiction director Daisuke Yamanouchi (山内大輔). [cite web |url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1399618/|title=IMDB - Daisuke Yamanouchi|accessdate=2008-09-08|publisher= [http://www.imdb.com/ www.imdb.com] |language=English]

Sakurada demonstrated her singing abilities in the Cross hardcore video "3 Days Recording Training Camp with AV Actress Rock Band" (2006). [cite web|url=http://www.crosscross.jp/works/-/detail/=/cid=crpd055/|title=nihongo2|AV女優ロックバンドとイク！！レコーディング合宿3日間 (3 Days Recording Training Camp with AV Actress Rock Band)|accessdate=2008-07-22|publisher= [http://www.crosscross.jp www.crosscross.jp] |language=Japanese] The plot involves the training of an all-girl rock band "The Skinless" and finishes with the four actresses performing a music video of a song "Body and Soul" with lyrics and vocals by Sakura Sakurada.

Popularity and Recognition

It is a measure of the fame that her uncensored movies have brought her in countries outside of Japan that best-selling thriller author Stephen Hunter uses a fictionalized Sakurada as a character in his 2007 novel, "The 47th Samurai". The character "Sakura" appears in Hunter's novel while filming the video "Woman Teacher in Black Sakura," one of the real-life Sakurada's works. Hunter knows Sakurada's work well enough to make reference to the gap in her front teeth in her early videos which disappeared in later appearances. In the acknowledgements section of the novel, he also acknowledges Sakurada as one of his muses. [cite book |last=Hunter|first=Stephen|authorlink=Stephen Hunter|title=The 47th Samurai: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel|pages=pp.140-143, 371.|year=2007|publisher=Simon & Schuster|location=New York|isbn=0-743238-09-5]

In another instance of Sakurada's popularity in the United States, her video "Sakura's Squirt Tunnel Adventures" (released in the US by Oriental Dream Pictures) was nominated in the category "Best Ethnic-Themed Release, Asian" at the 2008 Annual AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. [cite web |url=http://www.avnawards.com/index.php?content=nominees|title=AVN Awards Nominees|accessdate=2008-09-10|publisher= [http://http://www.avnawards.com/ www.avnawards.com] |language=English]

Sakura Sakurada is also notably prolific for a Japanese AV actress. The average career of an AV actress in Japan spans about one year, during which the actress will appear in five to ten videos total. [cite web |url=http://www2.gol.com/users/coynerhm/pornborn.html|title=A Star is Porn|accessdate=2007-04-06 |last=Fornander|first=Kjell|year=1992|month=July|work= [http://www.tokyo.to/ Tokyo Journal] |publisher= |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20060516235928/http://www2.gol.com/users/coynerhm/pornborn.html|archivedate =2007-03-20|quote=If she’s only out for money, she will studiously avoid publicity and quit inside a year—the average life-span of an AV girl—with five or ten videos to her credit and an unknowing family bosom to return to.] Sakurada's career has spanned over five years during which she has appeared in some 250 original videos reaching a peak in 2004 when she was in nearly 100 titles.
