Manatsu Akimoto of Nogizaka46 has released a brand new photo book. Released this week, it shows off more of her body than fans (and perhaps even the creators) might expect -- namely, that she is fully shaved downstairs. The 26-year-old is pulling down her panties just enough, if you zoom in, to show that she is almost certainly paipan between her lovely legs. She also looks great prancing around a summery house in what seems to be just a long white shirt, or with her naked body wrapped up in a sheet in the garden. Akimoto's second solo photo book, "I Want to be Happy" (Shiawase in shitai), ...

One of our favorite gravure idols, Yuka Someya, recently appeared in a stunning photo shoot that further cements her comeback on the scene ongoing since last year. Since she has already done nude shoots -- albeit not actually showing pubic hair to qualify fully as "hair nude" -- what more can Yuka show us? Well, she can tease us, it seems, and do this very well. For a shoot that ran in the weekly magazine Flash in the February 25th issue (sorry, folks, we're late with this one!), the busty 28-year-old was cast as a sexy housewife and covered her naked body in dripping chocolate. Now that's ...

Japanese actress and singer Erika Sawajiri was in the news recently after her drug bust in late 2019, the latest in a long line of scandals and ups and downs for the celebrity. The 33-year-old has officially retired from the industry after receiving a suspended sentence in February and we doubt we will be seeing her back any time soon, so taboo are drugs in Japan in spite of their prevalence in the entertainment world. At the time, Sawajiri was about to star in the annual Taiga drama on NHK, which would have been her biggest mainstream success since her comeback. Another intriguing ...

One of our pet projects is finding out what happens to idols and celebrities are they stop being gravure, music, or adult video idols. Sometimes they can struggle to find work and their careers can take unexpected turns. Some go into acting. Some graduate to porn. Some work in nurseries. Some go into hostessing or prostitution. Some teach yoga. One or two become manga writers or academics. A few even go into politics. A former junior idol, Hirona Oura (大浦央菜), has found a second career and revealed a whole other, more mature, and much more alluring side to her body as a lingerie ...

Another mainstream idol group has had to jettison one of its members after she was found to be pursuing a secret porn career. Nijiiro no Hiko Shojo (虹色の飛行少女) is a seven-member group active since 2018. Kana Usami (宇佐美花菜), who played the idol "character" Hana Midorisawa in the group, was fired on February 27 and replaced. This is after it came to light that she had performed in a porn release. She made her AV debut under the name Azu Kusunoki (楠木あず) for Soft on Demand Star with a release on January 17 (1stars00176). The publicity claimed she was 20 years old. ...

From Rina Hirata to Karen Ishida and Angela Mei, it's no secret that we love a hot haafu. Mixing Japanese with the blood of another ethnic group leads to some stunning results. And here's yet more proof of that, if any were needed. Pamela Asahi (朝比パメラ) is the latest biracial arrival on the gravure idol scene and she has already made a big impression. With her pale skin and angelic looks, not to mention curvy butt and attractive bust (C cup), the native New Yorker has carved out a career so far mostly in regular modeling. Born in 1991 to a Canadian father and Japanese mother, ...

If like us you need some distraction from the coronavirus, here are two very fine ones. Namely, the boobs of Nogizaka46 idol Yuki (Yuuki) Yoda, who is releasing a new photo book. "Mukuchi na Jikan" (Silent Time) features shots of the 19-year-old cutie in the bath, covered in bubbles and showing off her bust. No breasts on display, of course, since this is Nogizaka46, but there is plenty of flesh to admire nonetheless. Her combination of busty chest and slender body is quite something. "Mukuchi na Jikan" is Yoda's second photo book and came out in Japan yesterday, March ...

Started by Dolly Parton, of all people, the LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Tinder meme has been floating around social media for a while now. In a nutshell, it purports to show a quartet of images showing different personalities projected of yourself on different types of social media platforms. Like all big memes, there have been some great and inventive variations posted and shared. But we think this is the first one based on a Japanese gravure idol. In this case, it is the comely Kazusa Okuyama who is the inspiration. We're not sure of the original source of this image -- if you are, ...

Just time for a quick post today, but here's a reminder -- if any were needed -- that Mariya Nagao is still the hottest ex-AKB48 member we know. Since leaving the supergroup and forging her own acting and gravure idol career, she has continued to exploit her glamorously alluring yet girl-next-door looks in combination with a tight body and (relatively) plump ass. This most recent gravure photo shoot -- promoting a new 2020-2021 calendar release -- proves once again what a reliable star she is. Thank you, Mariya, for taking our minds off the coronavirus crisis and the hay fever that is ...
