She is, in our humble opinion, the proud owner of the best pair of buttocks in gravure at the moment, and now she's just showed us even more of them.
Umi Shinonome has released her first photo book, Umi no naka (a pun meaning both "Inside Umi" and also "In the Sea"), this month, which has a decidedly summery, beach theme.
With her G-cup bust and 100-cm hips, the gradol is absolutely popular with male fans, but she has cemented her following with her videos showcasing her hobby: building models.
A print photo book is another major step in her career.
The 25-year-old is promoting her ...
Is it something in the air? A kind of "comeback vapor" that's encouraging all these lovely ladies to re-enter the limelight?
Another one has come out of the woodwork: in the wake of high-profile comebacks by the likes of Yukina Kinoshita, Shizuka Nakamura, and Ai Shinozaki, we are very pleased to welcome the return of Shoko Nakagawa.
The 36-year-old tarento, voice actress, and singer is celebrating 20 years of her showbiz career with a new photo book.
Famously short at 155 cm (a smidge over 5 feet!) and a proud owner of a "duck-bill mouth," the cutie and firm fan favorite has been ...
Welcome back, Shizuka Nakamura. We've missed you.
We can't think of the last time that we saw a new shoot by the former top gradol. Thankfully, building on the momentum of her role in the high-profile Netflix adultery drama Fishbowl Wives, in which she appears in a sex scene, Shizuka Nakamura has returned to her first career: gravure.
Shizuka Nakamura appears in the March 25 issue of weekly magazine Friday with a nine-page, winter-onsen-themed shoot. Now aged 33 and as a slim as ever (if anything, a bit slimmer than before?), the Kyoto native has matured into a sensual jukujo. (If we're ...
Put the media's obsession with youth to one side. Japanese women, we can attest by direct experience, are still very attractive in their forties.
As noted before on this blog, former TV announcer Mariko Seyama has spent years tantalizing us with her body, before finally showing her breasts at the age of 41.
After enjoying the shots of her nipples visible through see-through clothing from her photo book, "Milk," released last year, we found more nude pictures from a magazine shoot.
Sure, she's shown off her naked butt before, but these are very nice and really flaunt her newly slimmed-down ...
It seems a long time since current or past members of AKB48 have made a real impression on the public at large. The power of the supergroup has waned significantly and its members are rarely seen in major advertising campaigns like they were in the 2000s and early 2010s, though we still try to follow what certain present and former idols are up to these days.
Ayaka Umeda is now 33 years old. She left AKB48 in 2016 after 10 years with the group, and has since established herself as an actor. What a great age, and it really shows.
Her second photo book, "Etude," is out now, and here are a few ...
Detectives Tokyo and Kinky are on the case -- the case of the gravure idol who disappeared immediately prior to her debut DVD release.
Toka Irino (入野十香) is a 19-year-old Japanese girl with an I-cup bust (and a face somewhat similar to Nana Komatsu's). She was set to release her first gravure image video this month, but all traces of her releases have now vanished online. Her upcoming DVD appears -- untitled and without a cover image -- with a "production canceled" notice on online shops or is no longer listed at all. Her official Twitter account, which she launched in November 2021 ...
She promised. She delivered. Now this is what we call a comeback -- and a way to celebrate entering your thirties in style.
As teased in January, veteran gravure idol Ai Shinozaki has returned to what she does best.
And now that her new photo book, "IDEA," is out in Japan from publisher Kodansha, we can share the highlights. Fans have been waiting over four years for a new Ai Shinozaki photo book. They won't be disappointed.
It features a milky-bath shoot that is about as nude as you can get without showing actual nudity. Ai-chan is famous for her huge bakunyu breasts -- hey, this is ...
Veteran gravure idol Tomomi Morisaki is now 29 and on the cusp of full jukujo-dom. Far from toning things down as she grows older, she's turning up the heat for her fans.
In mid-April, she will release a new photo book (her fourth) and it's set to be perhaps her most explicit yet.
As an advance preview, these initial pictures were published in Weekly Friday and, boy, do they whet our appetite for what's to come. Best of all, we finally get to see Tomomi's nipples on those amazing G-cup breasts, albeit through translucent clothing. Unless we missed a shoot, we think this is the first glimpse ...
We are gradually working our way through the new Japanese Netflix drama Fishbowl Wives.
Kyoko Hasegawa's sex scenes are nice but frustratingly not-quite-nude (that should be a new category for Japanese TV).
There are also similar sex scenes with Saori Seto and Wakana Matsumoto that are hot yet not actually nude.
Still, feast and famine: the incredible breasts-groping and nipples-sucking sex scenes by Juri Kawasaki have more than made up for any other disappointment.
When the trailer for the adultery-themed drama was first released, we were excited about the hint that former gravure idol ...
The former Yumemiru Adolescence idol Kyouka is, as we have eagerly chronicled on this blog, leaving gravure with a highly anticipated nude photo book.
The goodies have been released piecemeal with photo shoots in Weekly Friday.
The latest to catch our roaming eye (published in the February 1 issue of Flash) are these pictures, once again showing off her ravishing breasts in all their glory. Such exquisite shape and size -- and what beautiful skin!
The photo book, which finally now has a title ("Frontera"), is being promoted as a "full nude," suggesting that the 22-year-old ...
