On November 12, idol Moga Mogami announced that she is pregnant on her personal blog.
This should not be surprising, given that she is now 31 -- an age when many women in Japan would be pleased to start a family.
But she's not married, nor was a marriage announced at the same time.
Unlike a large number of prominent celebrities in Japan, she is not planning to marry the father of the child. Such shotgun weddings (or dekichatta kekkon) are common here, since the need for contraception is frequently ignored, though also because it is sometimes the only way to force the all-powerful ...
In an episode of the Japanese TV drama Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru (We're Too Bad at Romance, 僕らは恋がヘタすぎる), gravure idol Nana Asakawa (浅川梨奈) is shown riding her male lover cowgirl in a sex scene.
They kiss and undress on a sofa inside a hotel room. The 21-year-old Nana is wearing a sensual red bra that keeps her best assets under wraps.
They then move over to the bed, where Nana rides the lucky man.
Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru is broadcast domestically on Asahi TV and stars Umika Kawashima and Jin Shirasu in the lead roles.
There is no actual ...
Airi Rissen (立仙愛理) might well be one of the lesser-known idols in the AKB48 ranks, but that may change soon.
The 21-year-old from AKB48 Team 8 and Kochi Prefecture representative was doing a live broadcast online while dressed in a sailor school uniform. That alone would probably send fans into raptures, but then she decided to stand up.
Since she was wearing a skirt, fans were treated to a glimpse of the holy grail: her white panties.
Oh, panchira. The treasured upskirt view of a woman's panties. As sought-after as the "real thing" (i.e., what's underneath those panties) by some. ...
The gravure idol Hikaru Aoyama (青山ひかる) is busty even by the standards of her busty cohorts in the industry: she apparently has an I cup.
Now the 27-year-old is releasing her first photo book -- surprisingly she has not made one before, despite being one of the best-known gradols and a regular in the weeklies over the course of her seven-year career -- and has generously rewarded fans yearning to see more of her flesh with a series of semi-nude shots that really show off as much of her body as possible without actually revealing nipples or bush.
Tactfully placed hands and even ...
Airi Sato (佐藤あいり) is an up-and-coming gravure idol and actress whose recent shoots have seen her earn a following for a rare fusion: sensual, sexy allure; a genuine and clean beauty; and girl-next-door charm.
It's an unusual ability to combine sultry come-hither looks with marriage-material middle-class respectability. But Airi Sato, who emerged first in 2018 when she won a prize at a beauty contest run by a magazine, seems to achieve it.
Specifically, the 23-year-old is praised by fans as an example of hattoshin (八頭身 or 八等身) -- literally, "eight-heads body" -- an ...
Former AKB48 idol Mariya Suzuki (鈴木まりや) has stripped off for a semi-nude photo book.
The 29-year-old joined AKB48 in 2009 and transferred to Shanghai-based sister group SNH48 in 2012. She graduated in June 2017. She has since worked as an actress and maintained a following tens of thousands-strong on social media.
"Merenda" (presumably derived from the Italian word meaning "nuncheon") is her debut photo book and is released on Monday. To promote it, Suzuki is appearing in gravure shoots in Flash, Entame, and Asagei Secret magazines. The project represents her first attempt at a ...
In a recent photo shoot, Yuki Kashiwagi (Yukirin) has seemingly revealed to her many admirers that she goes paipan downstairs.
The 29-year-old veteran member of AKB48 would seem to be hairless between her legs, either through shaving or waxing.
The photo in question is from the cover of a recent issue of weekly magazine Young Jump, released in Japan on September 10. What a wonder the zoom function is! What treasures it reveals!
In a ten-page cover shoot for the weekly Flash out this week, Kashiwagi looks back on her career in the supergroup.
This month, Yukirin also appears in a ...
There are nip slips and then there are nip slips.
The gravure idol Hikari Hashimoto (橋本ひかり) recently suffered an incident that falls squarely into the latter category.
For reasons known only to the people who devise Japanese television content, the idol was recently doing an interview (filmed live and remotely from her home) for the web channel AbemaTV in which she was supposed to whip off her top to reveal her bikini beneath. Unfortunately (or not), her breasts had come loose from the flimsy bikini top (or bikini-style bra) and her right nipple was firmly and delightfully visible ...
The former AKB48 idol Kira Takahashi (高橋希来) has stripped naked for her first photo book, Twinkle, which comes out locally on September 10. That said, it is not, strictly speaking, a nude photo book, since the naked Takahashi still just about manages to protect her modesty.
She is wearing panties and her breasts are tucked up, squeezed yet hidden by her knees. We get plenty of side book, though.
It's now September and, while humid, Tokyo is arriving at typhoon season. Nonetheless, the photo book brings a splash of late summer, complete with shots of the 19-year-old poolside in wet ...
In the latest high-profile infections among celebrities in Japan, Nogizaka46 has announced that two of its members, Kaede Sato and Yuki (or Yuuki) Yoda, have contracted the novel coronavirus.
After a PCR test on August 27 for all the members of the idol group, the 22-year-old and 20-year-old were confirmed to have the virus, though not any symptoms of COVID-19 as of writing.
Yoda (pictured) released a photo book earlier this year.
As we recently reported, other top Japanese idols have contracted the virus, including gradols Jun Amaki and Fumika Baba. Another popular model, Fumina Suzuki, ...
