In December last year, we showcased the mature beauty that is svelte and sexy Yoko Kumada, who continues to release image videos in her forties.
Aging like a fine wine, the athletic yet mature Yoko is now 41 but still going strong.
Her latest gravure image DVD comes out in late April, a couple of weeks shy of her 42nd birthday. It's called Bath of Temptation and has a hot spring theme, a common trope in the Japanese erotic imagination.
Such image DVDs are not classified as porn, so there's no actual nudity, but the footage tends to push things as far as they can go without revealing ...
Earlier this year, we wrote about the surprise yet very, very welcome return to gravure of two major stars now in their late thirties: Aya Ueto and Haruka Ayase.
Indeed, as the likes of Yoko Kumada amply demonstrate, you can continue a career in gravure into your forties.
While the industry is dominated by ladies in their twenties or late teens, we like to see veterans and survivors in there, and love a good comeback story.
But even we were surprised by the return of Erika Yamakawa to gravure after a 20-year break.
Now aged 42 and the mother of two children, the model made her gravure ...
Japanese singer and voice actress Yuka Iguchi is to release a photo book to celebrate her twentieth anniversary in the industry.
More More More comes out from Kadokawa on April 3 and, judging by the preview images, lives up to its title, showing us more of the seiyu than ever before.
Yuka spends a lot of the time in the gym, if her social media is anything to go by, and it's in evidence with the toned, healthy trim of her body, especially her butt.
Here is Yuka doing some training in the gym.
Despite firmly entering jukujo territory, the unmarried 35-year-old doesn't look a day ...
The actress and mature gravure idol Mami Yamasaki is to release her tenth and final photo book.
The photo book, Camellia, will come out in Japan on April 15 from Shogakukan. As announced on February 19, the publication will mark her retirement from gravure after a 20-year career.
Now aged 38 and still unmarried, Mami Yamasaki has got more alluring with age -- and indulged in more explicit photo shoots. She seemed to embrace entering her thirties as the opportunity to strip off for semi-nude shoots.
Mami Yamasaki has aged like a fine wine, getting sexier the older she gets. ...
In mid-January, we wrote about the pleasant surprise that was actress and model Haruka Ayase's return to gravure.
Well, this seems to be a bit of a trend right now: actresses and models who were huge in the 2000s and 2010s are going back to their gravure roots.
Aya Ueto has done a cover shoot for the February 27 issue of Flash, which is now on sale. Though she made her debut as an actress in the year 2000, Ueto worked in gravure before she became a big mainstream star, including as a junior idol.
Ueto now has three children, having giving birth to her most recent one last year, and while ...
Late last year, we showcased the ageless miracle that is Fumie Nakajima, who looks amazing in swimwear even in her mid-fifties.
As they mature, Japanese improve with age like a fine wine. A couple of cases in point: Yoko Kumada and Sayaka Isoyama, who both look stunning in their forties.
If further proof was needed, here's another example.
Making her debut way back in 1994, the gravure idol Yuka Sawachi (沢地優佳) has managed to survived in a competitive industry in which idols are often discarded after a few months of shoots for the weeklies. She actually retired in 2007 and then ...
Haruka Ayase is one of the most famous models and actors in Japan.
Before she made the transition into mainstream acting and modeling, and seemed to appear in almost every TV commercial or brand campaign, Ayase was briefly a gravure idol. She's got the looks for it: a cute, girl-next-door face, slim body, and (by most Japanese standards) large breasts.
This shoot in which she stands alluringly against a window, her body on display except for skimpy swimwear, is one of our all-time favorite gravure pics.
She even once shot some sort of video in a bath, and you can find nude grainy ...
Last week, we highlighted the stunning, athletic beauty (and body) of 55-year-old Fumie Nakajima. Many of you seemed to agree with our assessment.
Today, it's time for Yoko Kumada.
Regular readers will recognize the name.
The 41-year-old gravure idol is now divorced (after alleged domestic violence and her suspected adultery) and has since worked at a hostess club (alright, it was essentially a publicity stunt for the club but the thought of Kumada serving us drinks had us in a tizzy).
These days, Kumada is making her money through image videos and her latest DVD comes out later this ...
Choose experience over youth, people say, and this certainly applies to experience in bed.
But how much experience is enough? How about mid-fifties?
As Fumie Nakajima is proving, you can still look ravishing at that age -- and there are plenty of people who will pay good money to see it.
The actress and model is releasing her latest gravure image video later this month. The 90-minute DVD shows off 55-year-old Fumie Nakajima's slim and healthy beach body.
Fumie Nakajima, who is married but has no children, has released similar DVDs every year since at least 2018, beginning when she ...
One of the most famous jukujo in the entertainment world is hitting a landmark age and, to celebrate, has released a new photo book that shows she's as hot as ever.
Voluptuous celebrity Sayaka Isoyama, who isn't really famous for anything other than her curves and being on TV, turned 40 yesterday.
The oddly named and more is her first photo book in six years, and may well be her last. She said at a promo event over the weekend that she is considering retiring from gravure, though she said she would retire six years ago after getting married.
Well, guys should be reassured that the comely ...
