Life and career

Jō was born in Tokyo and was a TV commercial model before starting a career in pornography.^[2] While many Japanese AVs involve some form of documentary style,^[3] Asami Jō's videos are mainly in the fictional style of the pink film and early AV.^[4]

She debuted with the Alice Japan label in October 1995.^[5] Her February 1996 release for the same label, Love Potion, told the story of a woman who supports her boyfriend financially while he is studying to become a lawyer. She employs sex as a means to make cosmetic sales.^[6] Thrilling Club: A Scandalous Night With You (April 1996), had Jō as a married woman who meets an old classmate, with whom she and her husband engage in a menage-a-trois.^[7]

In The Beautiful Slave (May 1996), she played the role of a young woman who is unhappy with the marriage her parents have arranged for her.^[8] Obscene Model (June 1996) had Jō in the role of a woman who acts like a cat in heat and when she is taken to a veterinarian engages in wild sex with him.^[9]

In Top Secret Is Full Nude, released in July 1996, she played a woman who is raped by a man who is later hired by her husband, for whose company she also works.^[10] Almost Broken was an organized crime melodrama with Jō escaping from a gang and becoming involved in telephone sex. Like the previously-described videos, this August 1996 release was an Alice Japan production.^[11]

Asami Jō later appeared in such mainstream TV series as Weatherwoman 2 (1996) and Denji Sentai Megaranger (1997) [1] She became a TV commentator,^[2] and from 1995-1998 she was a regular on the nighttime TV show Gilgamesh Night.^[12]
