The Japanese gravure idol (glamor model) industry is a competitive and overly populated place, with idols coming and going in quick succession.
In order to maintain their status, idols are required to keep up strong social media presences. This, of course, means Twitter and Instagram, but increasingly also YouTube. Gradols have to be YouTubers these days, too.
The coronavirus has made this more urgent than before as splashy shoots and meet-and-greet events are either not having or only in far reduced numbers, decreasing the potential for idols to earn fees. Perhaps feeling the pinch, ...
Former AKB48 idol Natsumi Hirajima is well known and adored for her curvy body, which she has shown off to the world on many occasions.
In her latest provocative tactic, Natsumi (Nacchan) has demonstrated a range of different bras on her new YouTube channel.
In the nearly 16-minute video, Nacchan describes the experience of wearing the various bras, along with showing us how she looks in them. Don't be shy about skipping ahead to the juicy parts.
At the time of writing, the video has almost 30,000 views after just a couple of days.
With large parts of the idol and ...
Only a small handful of former idols from AKB48 or its bevy of sister groups have managed to establish themselves in gravure, acting, or general entertainment, though a fair few have also branched out into porn instead.
Whatever they do or don't do, it's hard to argue that their appeal isn't based on their looks. And if you've got it, flaunt it.
One recent Japanese TV show certainly seems to call a spade a spade in this regard.
It got together former AKB48 idols for what was essentially an excuse to make them show off their busts and bodies for the camera.
The three top ladies -- Natsuki ...
Ah, Japanese television. Not the place to go for cutting-edge drama or provocative news stories. But it is the place to go for bizarre shows that tread a fine line between porn and... well, we're not quite sure what.
Case in point is this show called Zennihon Waga Ie no Ofuro Osho (全日本わが家のお風呂大賞, All-Japan Our Bath Grand Prize) on the streaming channel FOD broadcast on March 27th and apparently introducing bathing spots around Japan.
The actual point of this show seems purely to let viewers leer at the body of such ladies as Natsumi Hirajima, who looks frankly ...
Are you an ass guy? Then you're gonna love this.
Following the immense popularity of our previous lingering look at the under-appreciated charms of Japanese girls' butts, here is an update with some new favorites.
We made selections from currently active gravure idols, adult video stars, actresses, and celebrities. From the plump to the curvy, the flat and cute, the pert and big, we hope there's something for everyone here.

The former AKB48 idol Natsumi Hirajima (Nacchan) has worked hard to establish herself as a solid gravure idol after leaving the group in 2012. And her efforts just got a boost with the release of a new photo book this month.
She actually left the group somewhat under the cloud of scandal, following the leak of photos on ex-member Rumi Yonezawa's private Twitter account showing images of them with men.
In one, Nacchan is in a bar with a lucky (and horny) guy, who had her in the classic kabe-don pose. She nonetheless returned briefly in 2013 for one of the AKB "elections" to ...
