The gravure model and actress Yuka Someya has reached that ripe thirties jukujo age when every role she gets offered is erotic (previous occupants of this type included Mitsu Dan and Minami Hashimoto). In the first episode of TV drama Are kara Doshita, she plays a woman who is having an affair with a securities company. Someya is playing to type here as a seductive woman who has an affair. It seems the way into someone like that's heart (and panties) is to arrive at her day bearing an expensive gift. This being mainstream TV and not a streamer, there's no actual nudity on display. ...

The Japanese movie Shrieking in the Rain is about a 1988 sexploitation film shoot. Since the movie deals with softcore porn, it inevitably has some fairly explicit scenes itself. It first came out in late 2021, streaming on Amazon Prime, and there now seems to be a more explicit "late-night version" rated R18 that's available on Netflix Japan. To be honest, these release details are a bit confusing and it's perhaps why the hot stuff only came to our attention recently. Directed by Eiji Uchida, who made the JAV-themed The Naked Director series for Netflix and the film Love and Other Cults, ...

The photo book market in Japan can sometimes seem like a tame one. Sure, we harp on about the latest semi-nude shoots featuring various music idols, actresses, models, and so on, but, as lovely those are, we are ultimately making hay out of thin material. Gone are the glory days of the photo book when we could be really surprised by a provocative new release. We are talking about, of course, the "hair nude" full-frontal shoot. Back in the 1990s, when the hair nude was at its peak, it was popular for established stars or even up-and-coming models. Far from a last resort for a faded star or ...

As we were in a bookstore recently perusing the crowded lineup of idol photo books released in the autumn to catch the end-of-year season, we found ourselves returning again and again to the stunning new offering from Yuka Someya. As regular readers will know, Someya has featured multiple times on this blog. She has recently established herself as the queen of the hair nude -- the full-frontal nude shoot that is usually allowed in spite of Japan's nominal legal ban on showing genitalia, including bush -- with several such shoots. Someya is now aged 30 and as sultry and curvy as ever. She ...

One of our favorite gravure idols, Yuka Someya, recently appeared in a stunning photo shoot that further cements her comeback on the scene ongoing since last year. Since she has already done nude shoots -- albeit not actually showing pubic hair to qualify fully as "hair nude" -- what more can Yuka show us? Well, she can tease us, it seems, and do this very well. For a shoot that ran in the weekly magazine Flash in the February 25th issue (sorry, folks, we're late with this one!), the busty 28-year-old was cast as a sexy housewife and covered her naked body in dripping chocolate. Now that's ...

Yuka Someya is the sexy gift that keeps on giving. The generous goddess is continuing her gravure comeback with yet another nude shoot. We are actually losing count of how many nude shoots she has done, but who's complaining? This time it's a decidedly retro, Showa-era-style "wa" (classic Japanese) shoot for an edition of Flash in late January. Technically speaking, this is not a "hair nude" shoot because there is no pubic hair (i.e., full-frontal nudity) on display, but that's to be expected from a weekly gravure magazine shoot. Frankly, this is just the sort of thing we ...

Late last year, 27-year-old gravure idol Yuka Someya posed for another nude shoot to cement her recent return to the world of gravure for the first time in two years. The results, published in the weekly magazine Flash in December, are frankly as stunning as ever, showing off Yuka's curvy, busty body in an office lady outfit, lingerie, bondage restraints (she looks particularly fetching with a collar and leash), and her birthday suit (though, as before, unfortunately stopping short of full-frontal hair nude). We have covered Yuka Someya's ...

Busty Japanese gradol Yuka Someya has made a gravure comeback with her first shoot in two years. Posing nude for two issues of Flash this month, the 27-year-old goddess has shown off her ravishing butt again as well as her famously immense breasts. Given that she previously done a nude photo shoot before, this is not just a "new" thing for fans but it's still great to see the curvy lady back in action in the pages of the weeklies where she rightly belongs. One of the shoots has a summery "ice cream" theme, while the other features a light dominatrix style. She will ...

Are you an ass guy? Then you're gonna love this. Following the immense popularity of our previous lingering look at the under-appreciated charms of Japanese girls' butts, here is an update with some new favorites. We made selections from currently active gravure idols, adult video stars, actresses, and celebrities. From the plump to the curvy, the flat and cute, the pert and big, we hope there's something for everyone here. For more examples, check out our "butt" posts on Tumblr. As always, drop other ideas and suggestions into the comments! Manatsu Akimoto (Nogizaka46) Moe ...

Gravure idol Yuka Someya has the body of a goddess: curvy, sultry and powerful. Blessed with a height of 175cm (5.7 ft) and a G-cup bust, Yuka Someya is an almost Amazonian specimen of a Japanese gravure idol. Now starting to approach 30, she has the eyes of a lady who has experienced more than her fair share of fun in the bedroom. Sadly, she hasn't become the superstar we had hoped, which is possibly why she has made the next move in her career of posing nude. This isn't complete hair nude territory (yet), to be fair, so don't expect full-frontal goodies from this photo shoot, but Yuka is ...
