Gravure idols famously come and go. Those who seemed at the top of their game with regular cover shoots in the weeklies might fall out of favor in a couple of months and be gone from our lives. The most successful idols learn that they need to branch out into acting and TV work, and not rely on the precarious gigs doing shoots for magazines and releasing digital photo books in a crowded market. Nana Asakawa was huge at the end of the 2010s and likewise began to take high-profile acting jobs, including sex scenes in the Haram Marriage TV adaptation and We're Too Bad at Romance. Those ...

We promised. We delivered. More to the point, she delivered. We said we would follow up on our post last week about the first pictures from the highly anticipated porn debut (STARS-685-VT) of ex-Fairies member Rikako Inoue, now performing as Yotsuha Kominato. We can now share actual highlights from her 250-minute adult video release as well as nude promo photos of the star. Fans will love her sweet, slender body and its beautifully pale skin. We know we do! The sex itself is pretty conventional, ranging from gentle bathroom intimacy, some banging on a sofa, and the usual kind of ...

Anticipation continues to build over the porn debut of former Fairies music idol Rikako Inoue as Yotsuha Kominato, which may well become one of the biggest AV of the summer. While the upcoming release from Soft on Demand is still largely under wraps, with only very tame interview or promo videos available online to tease viewers, we do finally have the first preview images to enjoy. They suggest the video will contain bath sex, masturbation, and Kominato's "first" time with a man. In one shot, she's wearing lingerie and a blindfold as a (much older) male partner manipulates her ...

Readers got understandably excited when we reported in May on the upcoming adult video debut of former Fairies music idol Rikako Inoue. Now active as a gravure idol and singer under the name Yotsuha Kominato, the beautiful starlet is making her entry into the porn industry with a highly anticipated release from SODstar on June 27 (unfortunately, we don't have a video code yet). Intriguingly, the porn release is being promoted by Soft on Demand alongside her new solo music release, suggesting it was part of the deal they made with her or that they are even involved with the production or ...

Rikako Inoue (井上理香子), a former member of the now-defunct idol group Fairies, is to make her porn debut as Yotsuha Kominato (小湊よつ葉). Fairies disbanded in 2020, after which Inoue (who was a member of the group throughout its roughly nine-year run) nominally retired from the entertainment industry and became a company employee for two years. However, the 25-year-old officially adopted the name Yotsuha Kominato in March this year and returned to gravure with a shoot for Weekly Playboy and tie-in 57-page photo book. This month, she released the music video for a solo song, ...

Former Morning Musume idol Miki Fujimoto these days does a bit of acting and appears on television shows as a tarento. Now aged 37 and married with two children, Mikitty is back in the news again because she went on a radio show on April 30 and mentioned that she was previously offered to do a nude photo book after she left the idol group in 2007. Unlike fellow Morning Musume alumni Asuka Fukuda and Maki Goto, she turned down the offer. The proposed photo book would not have been a hair nude, full-frontal style, but apparently was to be shot from behind in a more sophisticated way. Fans ...

A reader recently chided us for not writing about the Yumi Sugimoto's return to gravure (though we did post pics on tumblr). The truth is, even with "gravure comebacks," there are simply too many idols to keep track of, let alone write about in detail on these digital pages. But here's one comeback that is certainly worthy of note. Yuka Hirata (38) made a very welcome return to our lives with her first Weekly Playboy gravure shoot in 14 years, first published in the March 19 issue of the magazine. Now on the cusp of 40 and steeped in jukujo territory like a finely aged wine, the former ...

The Nogizaka46 idol Hina Higuchi has released her first photo book and fans are delighted that it's by far the sexiest shoot she has done to date. It's not nude, to be precise, but it probably qualifies as semi-nude. The 24-year-old sweetie shows off some underboob as well as her pert yet curvy butt while wearing a thong. The best shots, though, show Hinachima in a milky bath, with her breasts either cupped by her arm in the classic tebura pose or just barely resting under the water. The response of her many male fans has, predictably, been ecstatic. "Like a Lover" (Koibito no yo ni) was ...

Okogetan (おこげたん。) is a popular TikToker with (as of writing) almost 105,000 followers on the video platform. She has now cemented her status by making her porn debut under the performer name Roze Kato (加藤ロゼ). The half-Japanese, half-Black star has an incredible H-cup bust that is exploited fully in the 174-minute release (EBOD00901) from E-Body in which Okogetan basically plays herself. It came out on digital release on March 11. We have yet to see the actual video but the preview images really show off Okogetan's amazing bakunyu breasts, especially her enlarged ...

April marks the start of the 2022 fiscal and academic years in Japan. It also brings with a major change for young people: the age of adulthood will come down from 20 to 18. Eighteen- and 19-year-olds can already vote, so this change has already been in the works for a while. One of the major consequences of this is regards contracts (somewhat strangely, the age for smoking, drinking, and gambling -- all the good things about being an adult -- will remain 20). In the past, they needed parental consent to sign a commercial contract until they reached the age of majority. Given that a lot of ...
