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 ...

In an episode of the Japanese TV drama Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru (We're Too Bad at Romance, 僕らは恋がヘタすぎる), gravure idol Nana Asakawa (浅川梨奈) is shown riding her male lover cowgirl in a sex scene. They kiss and undress on a sofa inside a hotel room. The 21-year-old Nana is wearing a sensual red bra that keeps her best assets under wraps. They then move over to the bed, where Nana rides the lucky man. Bokura wa koi ga heta sugiru is broadcast domestically on Asahi TV and stars Umika Kawashima and Jin Shirasu in the lead roles. There is no actual ...

Airi Rissen (立仙愛理) might well be one of the lesser-known idols in the AKB48 ranks, but that may change soon. The 21-year-old from AKB48 Team 8 and Kochi Prefecture representative was doing a live broadcast online while dressed in a sailor school uniform. That alone would probably send fans into raptures, but then she decided to stand up. Since she was wearing a skirt, fans were treated to a glimpse of the holy grail: her white panties. Oh, panchira. The treasured upskirt view of a woman's panties. As sought-after as the "real thing" (i.e., what's underneath those panties) by some. ...

The gravure idol Hikaru Aoyama (青山ひかる) is busty even by the standards of her busty cohorts in the industry: she apparently has an I cup. Now the 27-year-old is releasing her first photo book -- surprisingly she has not made one before, despite being one of the best-known gradols and a regular in the weeklies over the course of her seven-year career -- and has generously rewarded fans yearning to see more of her flesh with a series of semi-nude shots that really show off as much of her body as possible without actually revealing nipples or bush. Tactfully placed hands and even ...
