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 ...
Notorious man-eating idol Rino Sashihara has followed up her butt-revealing, semi-nude photo book release with a very sexy shoot for the magazine Anan.
The August 17th issue has some very revealing shots of the slinky, sexually aggressive HKT48 idol.
The long-running magazine has become something iconic for its "sex" issues as well as its semi-nude photo shoots with mainstream actresses and models. Past eyebrow-raising covers include Nanao, Ryoko Yonekura, and Maomi Yuuki.
We could say it's hair nude-lite: female celebrities who want to up their adult ...
The fashion and lifestyle magazine Anan famously likes to put naked models and actresses on its cover.
Female celebrities like Yui Ichikawa, Nanao and Maomi Yuuki and have taken their careers to new stages not by doing hair nude shoots or erotic spreads for tabloid or Gravure weekly magazines, but by tasteful yet sexy nude shoots in Anan.
It also does a "sex issue" quite regularly.
In the most recent one (with the lovely Jun Hasegawa on the cover) it really went back to basics: teaching people how to use vibrators, go down on a girl, and so on. We're not sure if the idea is that a ...
Actress Yui Ichikawa has become the latest Japanese model to strip off for magazine Anan in a series of sexy shots. We especially like the fluffy "tail".
Though a mainstream actress, Ichikawa has previously teased her male admirers with Gravure shots that show off her slinky body... Take a gander below!
Ichikawa appeared in a big "sex issue 2014" for Anan. Despite its ostensible role as a female fashion and lifestyle magazine, Anan frequently persuades famous models and actresses to appear in very sexy cover ...
Anan has done it again. It already has a reputation for being a soft-core porn magazine in all but name, and after Yuki Kashiwagi, Maomi Yuuki, and countless others, it has now persuaded model Nanao (24) to pose for a sexy shoot.
We can't wait for the rest of the images to go online to share them! For now, here are some oldies to give you a ...
Anan magazine, the ladies' fashion monthly with a liking for nude or sexy shots of famous girls, has gone after another AKB48 member for its latest publicity-seeking cover feature.
After rather lovely revealing shoots with Haruna Kojima and Yuko Oshima, it has now chosen Yuki Kashiwagi, the 21-year old AKB48 singer and model who has oft stood in the shadow of the limelight enjoyed by the other main members of the Akihabara-based idol army.
She is the fifth member to appear in Anan, perhaps indicating more mainstream fame awaits Yuki.
The seven-page shoot took place at a hotel and, though ...
Slinky and sexy actress Ryoko Yonekura is known for being nubile and sexy... and unmarried.
The 36-year old former model has famously done semi-nude photo shoots for Anan and was recently appearing in the musical Chicago on Broadway.
Having recently broken up with her Japanese boyfriend, Ryoko is now said to be getting very "close" to her choreographer on the American hit show. During the long rehearsals she took in New York to prepare her for her challenging role she and Gary Chryst apparently became more than just colleagues.
Chryst is no doubt used to being close to women ...
In an example of brilliantly timed PR, as the much-trumpeted AKB48 "general election" is having -- with Atsuko Maeda for the last time -- the women's fashion magazine Anan features a very sexy, semi-nude shoot with Yuko Oshima on its front cover this issue.
This got us thinking. Forget the gravure idol magazines and weekly mags like Playboy. The really sexy photo shoots with famous models are actually these mainstream women's fashion magazines!
Anan in particular has carved out a reputation for scoring deals with well-known stars to strip off in body-flaunting shoots.
Such ...
The very sexy Maomi Yuuki (a personal favorite of mine) has decided to go nude in Anan, a Japanese ladies' magazine that is ostensibly about fashion and lifestyle but frequently features sexy photo shoots.
The thirty-year old model has decided to do a limited nude photo shoot. I would prefer (as would many others) for her to be fully nude and possibly doing dirty, dirty things in the photo shoot, but this is a start.
When asked what she thought of doing the photo shoot she commented about her gravure idol shots in her twenties. "Even back when I had a 20-year old body, I was ...
