The New Year period in Japan is traditionally a time when celebrities announce marriages. Despite being overshadowed by tragic events in Noto and Haneda, this year proved to be business as usual in that respect: the actress Aya Hirano announced her marriage, and gravure idol Tomomi Morisaki confirmed her long-rumored coupling with baseball player Shota Hiranuma (and the fact that she was pregnant to boot).
And another celebrity story emerged: that the former TV announcer Minami Tanaka, who has made a wildly successful transition into modeling and acting, is dating the KAT-TUN singer Kazuya ...
Minami Tanaka has continued to cement her status as a sex symbol and actress with a role in Even If You Don't Do It.
The Fuji TV drama series contains a sex scene in episode eight that is tame in terms of actual nudity like basically all mainstream TV shows (we have to look to the streamers for the real action), but nonetheless shows the beautiful star engaged in intimate proceedings in her underwear on her bed with a male co-star.
The scene is rather dimly lit but fortunately some enterprising netizens have stepped in to brighten up the screen grabs, revealing much more of the ...
We recently wrote about Kana Kurashina's incredible semi-nude Anan magazine shoot.
It reminded us yet again what a great magazine it is: nominally a fashion and lifestyle publication for women, it's regular sex-themed issues and provocative cover shoots with established models and female actors have continued to grab attention (and seriously boost the careers of the models) for years now.
Here is a selection of some of the best covers from the past decade, featuring (in publication/chronological order): Kana Kurashima (2021), Ayaka Miyoshi (2020), Fumika Baba (2019), Rio Uchida (2018), ...
She's certainly proved that a woman's career as a model and "idol" can really come into its own in her thirties.
After releasing a bestselling photo book in late 2019, Minami Tanaka became the face of leading Japanese lingerie brand Peach John.
That quickly yielded some stunning results, as we reported about earlier in the year.
But that was just the appetizer, it seems, since 34-year-old Minami's latest shoot for Peach John sees her strip off and go (almost, very almost completely) nude.
Wearing a short, see-through panty girdle, she is posed with the camera with her nude butt and back ...
The model Minami Tanaka continues her ascent.
After a bestselling photo book, the former TV announcer has turned her jukujo charms to lingerie. She already set a precedent for how good she can make lingerie look with her 2017 Anan magazine shoot, which helped launch her career on this current path.
The 34-year-old model (and alumna of the prestigious Aoyama Gakuin University) is the new face of top lingerie brand Peach John, a role previously filled by the likes of Miyuki Watanabe, Saeko, Elaiza Ikeda, and Haruna Kojima.
Usually these models are younger, so it's an interesting step ...
Japanese TV announcer and model Minami Tanaka is cementing her rise to stardom with the release of her first photo book, "Sincerely yours..."
It flaunts her beauty and, while stopping short of nudity, is sensual and sexy enough to appeal to both female and male fans.
In further proof of this, if any was needed, now there are these shots, taken from her just-released debut photo book, that show off Minami Tanaka's nipples as she poses in a swimming pool.
While not fully exposed, alas, her nipples are still clearly visible under her wet clothes. And what a chest this charming lady has. ...
When you are a celebrity in Japan, your body is fair game for TV show commentators. In fact, they may well pull up a photo while you are on the air and spend minutes parsing its details with you. Even to the extent of zooming in on the body parts for glimpses of nudity.
Model and announcer Minami Tanaka is about to release her debut photo book. As part of the promotion, she has launched an Instagram account to fevered expectation.
But perhaps she got more than she bargained for when she appeared on TV and the host ended up trying to see if he could spot her nipple in a particular photo. Now ...
We already reported last week on the joyful news that the debut photo book by TV announcer Minami Tanaka (田中みな実) would take her firmly into gravure territory with a semi-nude shoot.
Now a few snaps showing how things looked behind the scenes have appeared and they confirmed firstly what a stunning pair of legs Minami has and also that the photo book is certainly worth getting excited about.
The as-yet untitled photo book is scheduled to hit shelves in December. We can't wait to see the final ...
The TV announcer Minami Tanaka (田中みな実) has rewarded her legions of fans with her first photo book. Moreover, it's not a tame one.
While the 32-year-old Tanaka stops short of actual nudity, the preview images show plenty of bust and butt. What a stunner.
Her debut photo book, as yet untitled, goes on sale from December 13th and apparently includes "suppin" shots where she is ostensibly wearing no makeup on her face. (There is something of a trend among celebrities right now to do suppin shoots and selfies.)
Tanaka was actually born in New York, though she moved to Japan ...
Anan is the thinking man's soft-core porn mag. The weeklies like Playboy are fantastic in their way, but it's Anan -- ostensibly a magazine about fashion and lifestyle for women -- that continues to deliver some of the best shocks. Namely, this is persuading mainstream celebrities to strip off and pose for alluring photo shoots.
While the women in question usually stop short of actual nudity, the results are as attention-grabbing as a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot in some cases.
Previous examples of this trend include Yui Ichikawa, Nanao, Maomi Yuuki, Kazue Fukiishi, Ryoko Yonekura, and a ...
