One of Japan's top adult video idols, Mion Sonoda, has announced her retirement from the industry in October, ostensibly for reasons of personal health.
AV performers frequently "retire" or "graduate," though this can sometimes just mean they reappear under a new contract with a different agency and production company -- and using a new professional name.
But this time it seems like a genuine retirement and Sonoda has announced the news with a personal message for her fans.
She entered the AV industry at the ripe old age of 19 and has since spent over four years delighting fans with her ...
We already hinted at this last week when we showcased gravure idol Fumika Baba's sex scene in a recent TV drama series, but it's high time we gave her photo shoot for Anan a post of its own. Because it is frigging awesome.
The seriously busty model has burst into the mainstream with her recent acting credits and this latest cover for Anan (issue 2167, September 11th) is likely to cement her reputation.
Man, this is better than most of the shoots that appear in Weekly Playboy and the like.
Anan is nominally a fashion and lifestyle magazine but has a ...
We've had a thing for gravure idol Yumi Asahina for quite a while. We've, ahem, entertained ourselves by parsing her many photo shoots, especially the ones that exploit her ass for all its incredible worth.
She went fully nude for a hair nude photo book last year (her debut photo book) that had a seriously vintage feel.
But the 26-year-old, G-cup Yumi Asahina has also stripped for one of her many image video releases, which includes explicit shots of her amazing breasts and nipples.
In the video, the slinky Yumi also demonstrates how awesome paizuri would be with her bust through some ...
As former NGT8 idol's Maho Yamaguchi cements her recovery from the mistreatment she received at the hands of the group's management with her debut photo book, another ex-AKB group lady is determined to make her mark after graduating.
Previously a member of AKB48 from 2013 to 2017, Nana Owada releases her first photo book, Risutaato (Restart), which came out on September 15 amid a reasonable flush of publicity.
As we reported in August, Nana has chosen the semi-nude style of shoot to make a splash, including the classic tebura "hand bra" shot. In fact, though, the first leaked photos from ...
After her sexual assault and the subsequent scandal that engulfed the NGT48 management in late 2018, Maho Yamaguchi left the idol group under a cloud of trauma and fury. She has, however, decided to return to the entertainment and idol world -- but on her own terms.
As we reported last month, this involves a rather surprisingly provocative photo book. Given her history of assault, you might expect Maho to tone down the sexualization of her image. But it seems she is fine with that as long as she has management she can trust.
To further tantalize fans, now behind-the-scenes footage has ...
In her latest TV drama series role, busty gravure model Fumika Baba is shown in an AKB48 cosplay costume being sexually assaulted.
In Na mo naki Fukusha Zegen (Nameless Revenger Zegen, 名もなき復讐者 ZEGEN), Baba plays a prostitute who gives sensual massages to her clients before sex. One session when she is dressed up like an AKB48 idol is rougher than expected and she is raped by the client.
While that is certainly rougher sex than the kind we usually like to watch, there's no denying that Fumika looks great in an AKB48 costume.
Based on a novel, the TV series is ...
One of the most sensational stories over the summer was that of nude jukujo model Kazuko Iwamoto, who was arrested for stabbing her married, younger lover at a train station apparently after he spurned her for getting pregnant.
The details of the adultery and the 43-year-old model's descent into what was possibly a kind of mental collapse are lurid yet also all too familiar.
Now the dust has settled, we can take a look at the career that Iwamoto has more than likely destroyed with her act of vengeance.
In the summer, just as fate was taking a strange turn for her, Iwamoto released her ...
Formerly of idol group NMB48, Miyuki Watanabe's new photo book sees the slinky young lady pose semi-nude. The shoot includes the 25-year-old in a tebura ("hand bra") pose for her first photo book in three years, Miyuki desu. (This is Miyuki.).
While the semi-transparent bottoms are rather lovely and there's the hint of a butt crack, it's not a particularly explicit in terms of nudity -- no buttocks on display, just some side boob -- but fans will still be pleased with the tantalizing glimpses she offers of her body.
Will this be enough to maintain her career after leaving the ...
Oh, we do like ourselves some love handles.
H-cup idol Sayaka Todo (藤堂さやか) possibly has some of the most impressive curves, not to mention boobs, we have seen in gravure in a while.
After putting some DVDs earlier in the year and last year, the 24-year-old releases her first photo book on August 23rd, taking her career hopefully to the next level.
Like Ami Inamura, she's a fan of baseball and likes to pose in gear. She can swing our bat any day she fancies.
Might queen-of-the-butt Yuka Kuramochi have some competition on her ...
The former AKB48 idol Ayano Umeta has gone semi-nude for a eye-catching and provocative shoot that really shows off her bust.
In the resulting photo featured in the current issue of Weekly Playboy, which is now delighting netizens, 20-year-old Ayano seems to be wearing no panties as she leans out of a bath, her shirt dripping wet as it clings to her alluring body.
That body is surprisingly busty for her young age and petite figure.
Umeta left AKB48 in March 2017 after joining the group in 2011, since when she has changed her professional name to Ayano Shimizu (清水綾乃) and tried to ...
