Nana Suzuki has rewarded her many fans by going nude again -- about five years after her previous shoot. This is what is technically classified as a "semi-nude" in Japan, since you don't see any nipples (much less bush), but Nana certainly looks stunning in profile and with much of her butt on view. She's now 33 years old and balances mature quasi-jukujo allure with a yoga-toned slenderness. A model since her high school days for magazine Popteen (and associated with another similar model Tsubasa Masuwaka), Nana is these days mostly a TV tarento famous for being famous, but is finally ...

We recently wrote about Urara Uraraka's new "maternity nude" photo book, citing the precedent for such pregnancy shoots in Japan among celebrities and idols. One of the examples we mentioned was Angelica Michibata, who posed for a fairly modest (technically non-nude) one in 2018. Now Angelica Michibata is back in the news with reports that she has divorced her husband, whom she married in late 2017 after she fell pregnant. This is a big deal only because it would seem to bring to an end an unfortunate -- to say the least -- chapter of her life in which her ex-husband was arrested for ...

Today we are showcasing the leggy delights of actor and fashion model Miki Yanagi (柳美稀), especially her recent photo shoot published about a month ago in the weekly magazine Friday. Check out that sexy mole on her chest. The 24-year-old Osaka native also appeared in a lingerie shoot for Weekly Playboy in May this year. Here are some highlights. You can see how her looks are acquiring a maturer, metropolitan sensuality. These photos are from 2019 and 2017 shoots, when you can see how much more pure and innocent she seemed. She published her first ...

Here's another one to add to our long list of haafu (biracial) beauties. Around this time last year, we got excited about the comely Pamela Asahi. Who's next? The latest model set for major fame is Naomi Trauden (トラウデン直美), a 21-year-old from Kyoto. With a German father who taught German literature at Kyoto University and a Japanese mother, Naomi certainly has good genes. She started modeling for CanCam at the age of 13, becoming the magazine's youngest model in the process. And here's (in our opinion) the best part: she's currently a third-year political science student at ...

A quite extraordinary scandal appeared in the Japanese media in the last few days. The model and celebrity Loveli (real name, Izumi Shirahama) is facing prosecution over an allegation of sexual assault on another woman in May 2019. The Shukan Bunshun has published a sensational interview with the victim, named only as Ms. A. According to the story, the Filipino-Japanese Loveli allegedly assaulted Ms. A while they were staying in Shirahama in Wakayama. After drinking, her accuser says, Loveli threw herself on the woman in the early hours of the morning, taking off her panties and going down ...

The fashion model Koki, the daughter of Takuya Kimura and singer Shizuka Kudo, continues to make a splash. Despite being only 17 years old, she has posed half-naked for the January issue of Elle Japon magazine. The highly sexualized and provocative shoot features Koki striking poses with her legs and thighs exposed. In one photo, she is nude from the waist up, her modesty protected by a bag held against her breasts. We are hardly what you could call conservative, given the kind of themes and content we explore, but we do wonder what her parents, for all their status and experience in the ...

The fashion model Angelica Michibata has rewarded very patient fans and admirers by showing off her nipples (and perhaps more) at long last. Michibata will release a new photo book, "Angelica," on August 7 that promises to be fully nude and showcase her stunning body. The shoot was done in a Tokyo studio in early June just after the state of emergency was lifted. The photographer is Hajime Sawatari, a veteran of nude shoots, and the publisher is another big name -- Futabasha. These are the initially announced preview images. The news has been greeted with glee by the mainstream ...

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 ...

Never one to shy away from controversy and stoking social media, the model and actress Kiko Mizuhara has revealed a recent episode from her glamorous, globetrotting life in which she was mistaken for a porn star in Paris. According to her tweet, she was riding in an Uber in Paris when the driver asked her what job she does. When she replied she was an actress, the driver bluntly asked whether or not it was porn. She wanted to vent and share the incident to highlight how disgusted she felt by the man. Others have pointed out the high reputation that Japanese porn has overseas, which might ...

Her legs were open wide, inviting the viewer to imagine what he or she can't quite see. Far from being shy about her latest antics, Kiko-chan posted the cover shot on Instagram. Party girl Mizuhara is no stranger to nude and provocative shoots, or to sharing these ...
