Buzz is building about 18-year-old gravure idol Rio Teramoto (寺本莉緒), who will release her first photo book very soon.
Crowned with the prestigious gradol title of Miss Young Magazine 2018, the teenager has a busty and curvy body that belies her youth.
The as-yet-untitled debut photo book will come out from major publisher Kodansha on March 25th, pushing the idol and actress' career to the next phase.
Rio and her toothy grin already have a million followers on Instagram.
Could she be the next Nana ...
Busty idol Sayaka Tomaru releases third photo book and it’s all about her breasts
January 10, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Busty Sayaka Tomaru (都丸紗也華) is one of the many idols releasing a new photo book this winter.
The 23-year-old's third photo book release (and first in around two years), cryptically titled "Mee Tomaru," comes out on January 25th and features the idol's I-cup breasts front, right and center, albeit unfortunately without revealing any actual nudity.
All right, we don't know if her bust actually qualifies as an I cup but that's the official claim. These stats are frequently exaggerated and, besides, Japanese cup sizes are measured a bit differently to other ...
Lots of women make their debuts in the Japanese adult video industry to relatively minor fanfare. After all, it's a crowded market. If they are lucky, newcomers get a big marketing push and it helps boost their career prospects. And if you are someone making a well-publicized switch from another career -- music idol, gradol, acting, TV presenting -- you are guaranteed extra publicity.
But it's rare for porn producers to have so much faith in their new star that they even create a sex toy to accompany her debut release.
That's what's happened with Runa Hotsuki (朋月るな), whose ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
At the end of last year, we reported on a batch of high-profile photo book releases, including by seiyuu Sumire Uesaka.
But as was generously pointed out by an eager reader, another major voice actress also released a photo book that is very worthy of attention: none other than the recently divorced, sexy jukujo Rie Tanaka.
Now in her forties and still as hot as ever, Rie has shared some highlights from her photo book (her fourth, by our count), which was released in Japan on December 23rd, 2019.
While we have yet to get our hands on an actual copy of her photo book, "Bisai," or, failing ...

For our final post of 2019, we won't do the usual round-up of the year but instead opt for something a bit more fun: sexy Santa cosplay.
Here is a selection of some of the best Mrs Claus cosplay (a genre known in Japanese as Santacos) by various idols and models, as featured in recent seasonally themed photo shoots or selfies.
First up, here is the gravure idol Tomi (or Toumi).
This is cosplayer and idol Amatsu-sama.
And here is Rina Hashimoto.
AKB48's Yuki Kashiwagi has chosen for the cute rather than sexy look, but that's still fine.
Race queen Yu Kikuchi (top) and model Chiyo ...
Aya Kawasaki continues countdown to gravure retirement with full-nude beach shoot
December 26, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Christmas is done and dusted for another year. What better a post-prandial treat than feasting your eyes on the body of gravure idol Aya Kawasaki?
As we blogged before, Aya Kawasaki is one of several high-profile names in gravure who is retiring or stepping back from the limelight of the weekly magazines to some degree.
In Aya's case, it's supposedly a full retirement at the end of the 2019 fiscal year (end of March), which has been massively hyped with major photo shoots and an upcoming photo book. (Most gravure idols, rather, just find their careers fading away, their agencies not ...
Seiyuu Sumire Uesaka enchants fans with busty shoot
December 24, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Music idol and voice actress Sumire Uesaka has made a sensible decision for the latest stage in her career: show off her bust.
The 28-year-old, former Russian major at Sophia University known for her penchant for Soviet iconography, Uesaka's second photo book "Sumire Iro" came out on December 19th.
Scans have already leaked online, generated a bit of a storm with netizens and fans for upgrading her image from "cute" to decidedly "sexy," courtesy of some nice shots of her until-now-hidden bust. (Not quite true, Uesaka previously exploited her bust to awesome effect in a sexy music video ...
Nicole Fujita bares breast for debut photo book

/ Tadashi Anahori
It is a busy season for gradols and model photo books, with everyone hoping to get a nice end-of-year sales bump.
Competing for our yen include photo books by the likes of Misa Eto, Aya Hazuki, and Miyako Sono.
Now the fashion model, YouTuber, and tarento Nicole Fujita has released her debut photo book, "Suki ni naru yo?" (Will you like me?), and has opted for that foolproof strategy: increase sales by taking off your clothes.
It is quite tasteful, mind you.
Nicole Fujita is shown holding her breast as she poses, wet and semi-nude, for the camera.
The 21-year-old ViVi magazine ...
Gradol Aya Hazuki goes nude for comeback photo book
December 20, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
The busty gravure idol (gradol) Aya Hazuki is making something of a comeback with her first solo photo book in nearly five years.
To cement its success (i.e., sales), she has stripped off and, while just about technically preserving her modesty in terms of visible nipples, is essentially nude.
In "Bonn," 28-year-old Aya is practically naked on the very cover, with just some yellow tape covering her tits. In the other preview shots, her amazing breasts are almost bursting out of her clothes or hands...
"Bonn" came out last week at a busy time for the market.
Miyako Sono has gone ...
Newly married, ex-Nogizaka46 idol Misa Eto shows off her nude butt for debut photo book
December 18, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
After getting married, most idols will settle down and stop posing for erotic gravure photo shoots. Fortunately, though, "most" is not everyone.
The 26-year-old Misa Eto is a former member of Nogizaka46 who got married this year to baseball player Sosuke Genda. She also graduated the idol in March, making 2019 a particularly landmark on for her life and career.
He apparently is not putting his foot down on Misa's career -- namely, her sharing what she's got with the rest of the world. She recently posed for a shoot that shows off not only her beautiful back but also her butt. Granted, we ...
