We love to see old favorites coming back into our lives -- and we love to see women who aren't 22 being celebrated for their beauty and older sex appeal.
And so we are delighted to see that Hiroko Sato is making a comeback, bush and all. The actress is best known for her early gravure career and nude scenes in such films as the low-budget A Night in Nude -- Salvation (2010) with Naoto Takenaka and directed by Takashi Ishii, who also made the soft-core porn films Flower and Snake with Aya Sugimoto, Sweet Whip with Yuki Mamiya, and Hello, My Dolly Girlfriend with Kokone Sasaki.
Sato is also a ...
You may recall our glee when advance images appeared showing busty gravure model Moemi Katayama fully in the buff -- bush and all -- for her new photo book, Rashin.
It's rare for a gravure model to make the switch to a hair nude shoot (okay, so she's wearing clothes but they are see-through, so this is basically full-frontal stuff) just as her career is starting to get going. Normally they wait until they are over 30 and things are not looking great for them, such as Haruna Yabuki did recently (though hair nudes were originally used by some stars to launch their careers).
Or ...
It's always a sad day when we spot news that our favorite gravure idols have got hitched.
Back in 2015 Yumi Sugimoto produced probably her sexiest and most naked photo book ever. "Chiamata" showed off quite a bit of flesh, even if it wasn't quite full-frontal stuff.
Well, enjoy those images for all they are worth, folks. That photo book may well be her last, assuming the common pattern repeats here. Sugimoto has now gotten married to a man four years her junior after around a year of dating, it emerged at the end of December. Typically gravure idols stop working as glamor models ...
Here is an awesome, belated Christmas present for you folks: nude photos of Moemi Katayama that have leaked ahead of the official release of her new photo book out next year.
The 26-year-old Katayama has become increasingly better known over the past 1-2 years. She released her first photo book in September and the new one, "Rashin", comes out on January 5th. Since 2015 she has been a favorite gravure idol for weekly tabloid magazine shoots, and even appeared in a Kirin ad in May.
This, though, is by far the most explicit the busty G-cup gravure idol has ...
One of our ongoing preoccupations is what happens to gravure and music idols after they stop being famous. Once they have faded into obscurity, how do they survive? Get married and become homemakers? Go into hostessing or even prostitution? Or a totally different line of work?
Some evidently advance into careers in AV.
We also previously looked at the case of Yuka Kosaka, who now runs a nursery school in Chiba.
Others make the unexpected leap into mainstream politics.
Here is another cautionary tale.
The tarento Hanako Takigawa is only 28 but already has had a troubled, up-and-down ...
It's the video that launched a thousand imitators (and counting).
Pikotaro's PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) video made "PPAP" one of the buzzwords of the year and inspired a whole meme industry.
No doubt it will blow over in a few weeks' time.
Until them we can enjoy the variations, not least this eye-opening one by gravure idol Jun Amaki.
The busty gal is best known for her "I cup" chest and being a petite 148cm. That's quite a combination. She's also a former member of the masked idols group Kamen Joshi.
She has created a version of Pikotaro's PPAP ...
Japanese TV is not known for its quality but it at least never fails to impress with its latest nude novelties or risque antics.
Now a TV show has appeared featuring gravure idols wearing sexy bikinis. Nothing new about that. There are even shows about gravure idol in armor.
But these are "failed" gravure idols, ladies who haven't made it big (yet). The idea is that the minor idols make their last grasp at fame on the show, wearing everything from noren (the low curtains that hang over entrances in Japan) to toilet paper, kagami mochi (a New Year decorative rice cake) or even lids of ...
Our new lust this month is the model Eriko Sato.
Eriko has posed nude in a butt-revealing series of shots for a new photo book.
First off, this is not the Eriko Sato we already know and love. She's now apparently given up her acting and modeling career for the joys of interracial marriage.
This Eriko Sato (different kanji, by the way) is a 26-year-old race queen and gravure idol who released her first photo book in late October. "Shiriaitai" is all about her butt, and it's easy to see why they went for that theme. The other Eriko Sato never went this far, more's the ...
Former AKB48 idol Satomi Kaneko has joined the growing ranks of idols who have graduated onto "sexier" and more revealing careers.
She has stopped short of doing actual porn yet her new gravure DVD (released on October 21st) is very explicit, full of close-up shots of her shaved you-know-what area.
Netizens are eagerly parsing the images to see if you can see her pussy hair. (You can't, but it's a close thing.)
The 26-year-old with the F-cup left her brief AKB career behind in 2007, since when she has turned to shedding her clothes to maintain an income.
And ...
It's become something of an annual tradition: November 8th is Ii Oppai no Hi (Nice Breasts Day), at least according to the Japanese Twittersphere.
Cue lots of lovely pictures of bust shared by gravure models and AV idols.
Here is porn star Kirara Asuka.
