If we had got our kinky acts together, we would have posted this on January 1 or, at the least, as the first article of the year. Alright, it's mid-January and we're late as f*ck.
But when the visuals are as good as this, who the heck is complaining?
It is the noble mission of gradols (gravure idols) to look hot in photo shoots, where it is a lingerie, swimwear, or semi-nude one. Come Christmas, inevitably they all don sexy Santa costumes.
And as 2021 dawned, they welcomed in the Year of the Cow (going by the Japanese zodiac) by stripping down to some very cute, very revealing cow-themed ...
Like most people, we are keen -- alright, desperate! -- to see this year done and dusted. With the new COVID strain, though, something tells us that the calendar simply turning into 2021 won't suddenly makes things OK.
So we are always pleased to see news like this sneak into the final days of the year.
The gravure idol Kaoru Yasui is known for her busty body, large butt, and come-hither looks. The 21-year-old previously went through a professional name change, her kanji shifting from 安位薫 to 安位カヲル when she changed left her agency at the end of August. Having made her debut ...
The end-of-year photo book rush just got a bit busier with the debut release from Anri Gento (源藤アンリ).
While not particularly well known as a model or celebrity, Gento has notched up a fair number of television appearances recently. It's perhaps a little surprising that such a relative newbie would land her own photo book publishing deal with Shogakukan, though she has seized the opportunity with aplomb.
A guaranteed way to generate headlines and online interest is to take things a step further. Anri has stepped up to the challenge swimmingly by taking off her clothes.
Coming out ...
We have long been an admirer of the actress of 33-year-old Yuki Sakurai, a feeling seriously amplified after we saw her lengthy and explicit sex scene in Call Boy that we blogged about just over a year ago.
We mentioned at the time her previous sex scenes in a film called The Limit of Sleeping Beauty (2017).
We have finally gotten around to looking at this properly and wanted to showcase some of the highlights.
Yuki Sakurai, who plays a magician's assistant, is nude in several scenes from this somewhat peculiar film, showing off her butt, breasts, and pale, slim body.
There is a ...
Gravure idol and actress Miyu Kitamuki has posed for her most explicit photo shoot to date, a semi-nude spread in which she is fully naked but her modesty is hidden by carefully placed body parts -- not least, the classic "hand bra" (tebura).
The pictures appear in her first photo book, Koiyou (恋夕, Love Night), which came out last week from Kodansha. Previews were published in Weekly Playboy magazine.
The 20-year-old Kitamuki got her start in the entertainment industry in 2018 and, as an actress, her career highlights so far include the NHK drama series Idaten. She is ...
While most recent news about Japanese porn has been dominated by the very welcome return of Asahi Mizuno, we wanted to highlight another example we found that shows how part of the industry operates.
Once again, a minor idol from a group relatively unknown in the mainstream has been persuaded to switch from music to porn.
In this case, it's 19-year-old Sayaka Takayama (高山さやか), formerly of Girl's Horizon (aka Garuhora), who has made her AV debut under the name Nana Yaotome (八乙女なな) mere weeks after leaving the group.
The 180-minute release (MIFD00140) comes ...
Sumire Yokono of NMB48, the Osaka sister group of AKB48, is celebrating her nineteenth birthday with a braless photo shoot.
Yokono has a hot, slinky body that is sensual and leggy that belies her youth. But we've so far only seen her in lingerie or swimwear.
Now she's gone semi-nude for her first photo book, "Anata no yoko no" (literally, Next to You -- but also a play on her name, meaning "Your Yokono"), which was shot in the sunnier climes of Okinawa and comes out on December 16 in Japan -- shortly after Su-chan's nineteenth birthday (meaning she was a comely 18 when the photos were ...
We have some sad news to report.
Normally the release of a new photo book by an idol would be a cause for celebration, but Mai Ishioka's (石岡真衣) upcoming "After the Rain" is apparently to be her last.
One of our long-time favorite gradols, Ishioka has announced that that she is "graduating" -- i.e., retiring from the industry.
This can be more one of several things: her career is stalling and so her agency is dropping her at the end of her contract; she is fed up with the industry and her career, and wants to do something else (or get married, which is hard to do while remaining a ...
The AKB network of idol supergroups faces a particular challenge in these COVID days of maintaining revenue when meet-and-greet and even concerts are not realistic.
The idols remain popular, of course, and field requests to appear in the weekly magazines or release photo books.
Mina Oba, for instance, recently appeared in a photo shoot for the weekly magazine Flash.
The lingerie shoot showed off the 28-year-old modest yet sensual bust. Thank you, Mina, for taking our minds off the emerging third wave of corona infections in Tokyo.
It's probably about time for Team K's ...
On November 12, idol Moga Mogami announced that she is pregnant on her personal blog.
This should not be surprising, given that she is now 31 -- an age when many women in Japan would be pleased to start a family.
But she's not married, nor was a marriage announced at the same time.
Unlike a large number of prominent celebrities in Japan, she is not planning to marry the father of the child. Such shotgun weddings (or dekichatta kekkon) are common here, since the need for contraception is frequently ignored, though also because it is sometimes the only way to force the all-powerful ...
