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), ...
The busty, popular gravure idol and actress Fumika Baba has reached a new stage of her career as the new face (and body) of the top lingerie brand Peach John.
The latest in an impressive line of models for PJ, Baba follows the likes of Haruna Kojima, Miyuki Watanabe, Saeko, Elaiza Ikeda, and Minami Tanaka.
Baba is the model for GiRLS, a special line of lingerie launched last year within the Peach John collection that is aimed at woman aged from their late teens to early twenties. When GiRLS first launched, its official models included Yui Imaizumi -- shortly before she was taken out of ...
So far, the highest-profile victim of COVID-19 in Japan has been the comedian Ken Shimura.
His death happened fairly early in the pandemic in Japan and since then infection numbers have risen quite a lot as the second wave hits, though deaths have not climbed to a scary rate (yet - touch wood).
As entertainers are continuing to work, filming things and so on, and coming into contact with a lot of people in the process, coronavirus infections are also disproportionately affecting the industry.
In recent days, several high-profile cases have appeared.
In early August, the busty gravure idol ...
We already hinted at this last week when we showcased gravure idol Fumika Baba's sex scene in a recent TV drama series, but it's high time we gave her photo shoot for Anan a post of its own. Because it is frigging awesome.
The seriously busty model has burst into the mainstream with her recent acting credits and this latest cover for Anan (issue 2167, September 11th) is likely to cement her reputation.
Man, this is better than most of the shoots that appear in Weekly Playboy and the like.
Anan is nominally a fashion and lifestyle magazine but has a ...
In her latest TV drama series role, busty gravure model Fumika Baba is shown in an AKB48 cosplay costume being sexually assaulted.
In Na mo naki Fukusha Zegen (Nameless Revenger Zegen, 名もなき復讐者 ZEGEN), Baba plays a prostitute who gives sensual massages to her clients before sex. One session when she is dressed up like an AKB48 idol is rougher than expected and she is raped by the client.
While that is certainly rougher sex than the kind we usually like to watch, there's no denying that Fumika looks great in an AKB48 costume.
Based on a novel, the TV series is ...
If this is what the ongoing cleaning-up of Shinjuku's notorious red-light district means, then bring it on.
The AV and gravure idols magazine Weekly Playboy is opening a bar in Kabukicho from June 10.
Every night, different gravure models will be serving drinks at Shupure Sakaba (Weekly Playboy Bar) to a few very lucky customers.
This is an exclusive VIP bar with just five seats per session and a limit of only three seatings per night. Needless to say, reservations are a must and there is a hefty cover charge of ¥10,000 for one hour and a four-course meal (drinks and food not in the ...
