She generously showed us her naked butt last year. And now Tsubasa Hazuki has gone even further. In her latest onsen-themed photo book, Hazuki is shown nude under a very wet, very thin garment. Her breasts and nipples are clearly visible through the fabric. Her mons pubis is also shown in close-up and she appears to be paipan. This is about as close as you can get to a full-nude shoot without being naked -- nominally speaking. So now we have a vicarious sense of what it would be like to take Tsubasa Hazuki away for an intimate stay at a hot spring resort. If only this was actually one of ...

It always feels good to welcome back an old favorite. The gravure idol Ayame Misaki was a regular on this blog in the early 2010s. But then she got married in 2016 (but divorced the following year) and also started working as a "serious" actress, landing a role in a film by Naomi Kawase. But she didn't forget her gravure roots, even if her days of doing nude scenes in low-budget movies are sadly behind her. Now aged 32 and teetering on the edge of youth and jukujo territory in the most alluring of ways, Misaki made a gravure comeback in late May with a shoot for the magazine Flash. It was ...

The gravure idol Ayako Inokuchi (井口綾子) has appeared on a TV show segment about a hot spring bath. As typical for such shoots, she was wearing a towel wrapped around her body to protect her modesty. But during the filming of the TV Tokyo show Yojikoji Days, things went awry under the water and Ayako ended up revealing her bush for a brief moment! The 24-year-old, who is a recent favorite of weekly magazines, is a graduate of the prestigious private college Aoyama Gakuin, where she won the Miss Campus beauty contest. She released her first (and so far, only) print photo book in ...

How old is too old? When you're an "idol," especially in the music industry, the expectation is that you must be young -- mid-twenties at most. In a sign that makes us feel, well, old, the early members of AKB48 are now pushing three-oh, if not beyond, but are still determined to milk their fandom. Today marks Yuki Kashiwagi's thirtieth birthday and has released a photo book, "Experience," to celebrate. It's her first photo book in nine years. But she's no longer the sweet and innocent young girl of those previous releases; she's now an experienced woman with a body that she wants to show ...

Yume Hayashi has finally released her first photo book in a sign that her career as a gravure idol is picking up pace. After three previous digital photo books, the 25-year-old released her debut print photo book, "Yumemi-gokochi" (Dreamy State), with major publisher Kodansha on June 4. In it, she appears in swimwear and in various states of nudity, her modesty covered by carefully placed arms or by turning her naked back to the viewer. You can enjoy plenty of side boob, butt cheek, and cleavage, but no actual nudity. We've included some highlights ...

Former NMB48 idol Rina Kondo (近藤里奈) has delighted fans by slipping off her clothes and lying nude on a bed, her modesty preserved only by a slinky pair of panties. The 24-year-old has released a digital photo book in which she shows off her sweet girl-next-door features, but with a healthy degree of sex appeal thanks to her naked back. Who says cute girls cannot also be sexy? Intended to preview and promote the digital photo book release, the gravure shoot was published in an issue of Weekly Playboy in late June -- her first appearance in the magazine in eight ...

Nao Kosaka (小坂菜緒) of Hinatazaka46 has released her debut photo book, delighting fans with semi-nude shots and achieving rapid commercial results. Kimi wa dare? (Who Are You?) was released on June 29 and has sold quickly -- 180,000 copies, according to a media report. It has already entered its second print run. With her cute girl-next-door looks, Kosaka is incredibly popular and there was a lot of buzz about her photo book, as we first wrote about in May. But even we didn't expect it to be such a hit with fans. Naturally, the amount of skin she is showing is a major ...

After wowing the world with her perfectly proportioned body and face late last year, gravure idol Airi Sato landed a supporting role in the second season of the porn-themed Netflix drama series The Naked Director. While admittedly not as impressive as her co-stars' sex scenes like Misato Morita, Yuri Tsunematsu, or Yuka Masuda, Sato appears nude in the series. She gives us a look at her breasts in a scene in a strip show (the series is set in the 1980s and 1990s, back when burlesque was still popular in Japan). The slinky and beautiful Sato is hoping to capitalize on her exposure in the ...

After yesterday's good news about Mariko Seyama's nipples comes more fine tidings about another lady we have long admired. Minami Fukuoka (福岡みなみ) is not a jukujo like 41-year-old Seyama but has her old slinky, slender charms. In the 26-year-old's latest gravure photo shoot for the current issue Weekly Playboy, she has taken off everything and shown us what she looks like with her most intimate parts of her body covered with her arms. The results are mighty fine -- even more so if you like a girl tied up in shibari bondage rope. From lab tech beauty to rooftop seductress and ...

Mariko Seyama (脊山麻理子) has shown us herself at her most naked yet. After years of teasing with lingerie shoots and semi-nudes, the 41-year-old has finally stripped to reveal more of her body. While she has sadly stopped short of full nude (the "hair nude," as it is known in the industry), her new photo book shows her in see-through lingerie that reveals her nipples. In addition, she generously flashes us her naked butt, though we have seen this wonder before. "Milk" is released in Japan on July 1. She joined a new agency last year, perhaps signaling a shift in ...
