Former AKB48 idol Rina Hirata has announced that she will no longer release image videos. Her latest DVD, My Girl's Weird Sense of Distance, which came out on September 23.
The DVD, her first in over a year, is an incredible 190 minutes and features Hirata barely clothed throughout. The tiny bikini she wears in the cover image is stretched to the max to cover her nipples and crotch.
The 27-year-old Hirata was a member of AKB48 from 2011 to 2016. Among the legions of young women who have passed through the ranks of AKB48 and its sister groups over the years, Hirata stands out for at least ...
Chisato Morishita's trajectory from gravure favorite of the late 2000s to mainstream politics is now complete. After the former model won her first election last October, the 44-year-old with the winning smile has now been appointed to new prime minister Sanae Takaichi's Cabinet as Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Environment.
It's a junior role, of course, under the main environment minister (a man, of course -- though Takaichi is Japan's first female prime minister, her ministers are always all male), but it represents a major vote of confidence in the one-time race queen (grid girl), ...
The porn star Maria Nagai has announced her pregnancy. The 28-year-old JAV performer made the announcement on social media on October 4.
Reflecting her international following, she wrote in both Japanese and English: "As some of you may have already noticed, I'm blessed with a new life."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, she did not make public any information about the father of her child.
Known for her shapely thighs and H-cup bakunyu bust, Nagai has also worked under such names as Kurumi Kashiwagi, Nanoka Igawa, and Miu Onose.
She debuted in 2014. Nagai was born to a Japanese father and ...
Ria Shinba works at the soapland New Tiara in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki Prefecture. She is the main attraction of the soapland and has previously worked as a child actor and porn star.
In a recent two-part interview with Shueisha Online last month, the 23-year-old explained about her background, and how she came to the profession. We've translated some of the highlights.
Shinba was born in Tokyo's Suginami ward to a Japanese father and Filipino mother. When her mother became pregnant with her, their marriage became strained, and since she already had an older sister, her father told her mother ...
The former porn star Emiri Okazaki has announced she is pregnant.
Now 36, Okazaki made her adult video debut via Muteki in 2011. She also worked under the name EMIRI and was a member of the JAV idol music group Pinkey, which was produced by the late Kishin Shinoyama, famed for his nude photography, and active from 2012 to 2015.
Prior to her porn career, she was gyaru-style model. Since her retirement in 2016, she has been a YouTuber and entrepreneur with a business selling supplements.
Okazaki's announcement was accompanied by some maternity photos (weirdly also featuring her dog, ...
In Let, Sonoya Mizuno has a lesbian scene in which she and the actress An-Li Bogan slowly and passionately kiss.
There's no nudity but things get pretty hot, with Mizuno pulling up her lover's hands to choke her at one point during their embrace.
Let is a 2024 short film directed by Alyssa Loh about a law student dealing with loneliness.
An-Li Bogan is an Irish-Taiwanese actress best known for The American Society of Magical Negroes (2024) and After Yang (2021).
As regular readers will be aware, Sonoya Mizuno is also biracial -- in this case, British-Japanese -- and in addition to ...
Two gravure gyaru. What more could you want?!
Yukipoyo has been joined by her younger sister in a gravure shoot for the first time.
The 20-year-old Yumichi poses with Yukipoyo for a shoot in the October 22 issue of Flash magazine.
Yukipoyo (full name Yuki Kimura) is 27 years old and, though now known more generally as a celebrity, got her start in the gyaru fashion magazine egg. She overcame a drug scandal to make a comeback a few years ago. Stripping off helped.
Yumichi (Yumi Kimura) is very much following in her older sister's footsteps. She made her debut this February as a model in ...
Marin Shiosaki (潮崎まりん) may at a glance seem more Filipina but she is Japanese -- and a fresh new face on the gravure scene, a crowded industry where we hope the Saitama native makes a lasting impression.
Her curves are just great, giving her a really sexy, natural body that stands out among the willowy, straight bodies that can dominate Japanese ladies (though voluptuous women are, of course, not unusual among gravure models).
Her huge breasts (we assume a G cup) also look awesome under the sheer slingshot lingerie on the cover of her first DVD, which comes out in late ...
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 ...
Recently graduated from Nogizaka46, Asuka Saito has released a new photo book and it's making a splash.
Saito, who is half-Myanmarese and half-Japanese, was a first-generation member of Nogizaka46. The 24-year-old graduated the idol group earlier this month.
She was one of the most popular members of the group, having performed with them for over 11 years, and is hoping to use her departure (and the buzz surrounding her graduation concert last week) to launch a solo career.
This week, the first images from her new photo book, Museum, were released. They are semi-nude, with the slinky ...
