Nogizaka46's Mizuki Yamashita has released a new photo book that is causing a stir.
Following the success of her first photo book that was semi-nude and featured the singer posing with a furry friend, the 24-year-old's latest photo book, Heroine came out on April 23 and has already set the interwebs alight with the alluring images it contains of Zukkie in white lingerie.
Unforgettable Person sold 100,000 in its first week alone and would go on to sell almost 200,000 copies. Can Heroine replicate those numbers? The thong and sheer bodysuit will surely help, along with the great shots of her ...
There has been a lot of outrage recently about male hosts in Japan exploiting vulnerable women, young and old, in order to get them to pay the ridiculous fees their clubs charge. This includes forcing underage girls into prostitution.
We shouldn't overlook the dark and controversial world of music idols, however, where the casting coach is commonplace (as it is in gravure modeling). Things get particularly murky in the far less lucrative world of minor and underground idols, who don't get mainstream exposure and are more vulnerable to managers and so on promising success and money.

Former HKT48 idol Miku Tanaka is trying to build an acting career and has cleverly chosen to do so with a role that gets hot and steamy.
In the TV drama Cinderella Complex, which started airing in Japan from March 1, she has a sex scene with her lover in bed.
Don't get too excited if Mikurin is a favorite of yours: this being a drama on mainstream Japanese TV, there's no actual nudity.
She and her slightly older lover have sex under the sheets, with her nipples and side boob just hidden by his arm. It's quite a tease.
Miku Tanaka was a member of HKT48, the Fukuoka-based sister ...
The Japanese porn industry is incredibly prolific and its output is fueled in part by parody releases: adult video productions that operate at a kind of meta level, inspired by a recent incident, social trend, or something from popular culture.
Sometimes, since parody occupies an ambiguous place under the rubric of Japanese law, this can get the producers into trouble. The recent AV release based on the DJ Soda groping incident was canceled prior to release, possibly due to the social media backlash or perhaps out of fears of legal repercussions (at a time when things are difficult for the ...
Japanese singer and voice actress Yuka Iguchi is to release a photo book to celebrate her twentieth anniversary in the industry.
More More More comes out from Kadokawa on April 3 and, judging by the preview images, lives up to its title, showing us more of the seiyu than ever before.
Yuka spends a lot of the time in the gym, if her social media is anything to go by, and it's in evidence with the toned, healthy trim of her body, especially her butt.
Here is Yuka doing some training in the gym.
Despite firmly entering jukujo territory, the unmarried 35-year-old doesn't look a day ...
The former AKB48 idol Satomi Kaneko officially retired last year and we thought it was the last we would see of her.
How wrong we are. Today comes the happy news that Satomi Kaneko is to make her porn debut with the Muteki label -- which specializes in such industry crossover debuts -- and under the name Kiho Kanematsu (金松季歩).
It is common, often for contractual reasons, for idols to change their professional name when transition into porn, or even just when switching management agencies. Kaneko/Kanematsu announced her new professional name about a week ago, along with a new shoot ...
Who are the top female idols from the 1980s? Japanese people in their fifties were recently asked to rank who they think are the biggest female idols who debuted between 1986 and 1989.
The online survey came up with Chisato Moritaka as number 1. The 54-year-old is still going strong, releasing music, giving concerts, and appearing regularly on TV.
At number two was 50-year-old Rie Miyazawa, who made her debut in a TV commercial for Mitsui House in 1987. As regular readers will know, she went on to make a seminal contribution to the hair nude genre of photography.
At number three was ...
Yesterday we reported on AKB48 alum Mariko Shinoda, who is attempting to recover from her adultery and divorce scandal by playing an adulteress in a TV drama.
Now here's another AKB48 lady who is on the verge of leaving the supergroup and, in a (desperate?) bid to make a splash as she graduates, has shown fans a flash of her butt.
The slinky 27-year-old is publishing her first photo book and the previews reveal her naked rear -- or rather, show Okabe herself deliberately pulling down her bikini bottom to expose her butt.
Okabe will graduate AKB on March 27, with her as-yet-untitled ...
Dating apps like Tinder are ways to meet Japanese girls. There's always the chance that you will meet the girl of your dreams, your future wife, your next hookup -- or even a celebrity.
Former AKB48 idol and model Rina Hirata has shared publicly that she is using dating apps to look for a partner.
She didn't disclose which one(s) she uses -- we imagine it's not the app for otaku -- but she hasn't had any luck so far.
"I met about 10 guys but none of the dates went well," the Arizona-born hottie shared at a recent event in Tokyo to launch her latest gravure image DVD, Showa ...
Here's a nice little (late) Christmas present for you.
The Japanese tarento and music idol Ourin (王林) is branching out into gravure with the release of her first solo photo book.
Born in 1998, the Aomori native made her debut way back in 2007 and has been part of several idol groups over the years.
One Chance was released by Shueisha on December 20. We love its flamboyant, bubble-era look.
She has previously released calendars, so gravure is not a completely new career path for her, but the swimwear photos definitely seem to indicate a conscious step up in the sexy stakes compared to ...
