Nao Kosaka (Hinatazaka46) to release first photo book
May 13, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Following fellow Hinatazaka46 member Kyoko Saito's semi-nude photo book earlier in the year, now comes the news that Nao Kosaka is releasing her debut photo book.
The swimwear-themed book, "Kimi wa dare?" (Who are you?), will delight fans of the gentle-faced 18-year-old. Kosakana's slender body is showcased in these bikini shots. Unfortunately, only one of the preview photos actually shows her in swimwear.
The book comes out in Japan on June 29.
We personally prefer our ladies with more experience and maturity, but we can see why Nao Kosaka has her fans: a pure-looking ...
Yuki Kimura (Yukipoyo) says sorry for drugs scandal by stripping off
March 31, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
As someone who has cultivated a gyaru "bad girl" persona as a model and celebrity, the fact that Yuki Kimura (aka Yukipoyo) is mixed up in drugs should shock no one.
She started as a model for legendary gyaru fashion magazine egg and also appeared on The Bachelor Japan (Amazon Prime) and then became a regular on TV variety shows. But the Japanese-Filipino's career was almost derailed at the start of the year when it was (belatedly) reported that police in May 2020 had arrested a man she was with -- presumed to be her lover -- on drug charges. Yukipoyo was not charged or detained, but a ...
On the cusp of 30, Yuki Kashiwagi still looks great in latest cover shoot
March 17, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
What ever happened to those original major AKB48 stars after they left the group and got older?
Most have disappeared from the limelight. Some have got married and started families. A select few like Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima have switched into "serious" acting.
For Yuki Kashiwagi, there are still offers for major gravure shoots. She recently graced that cover of Young Jump and a generous 12-page spread inside.
This is impressive considering she is about to turn 30, which basically places her in jukujo MILF territory by the dubious standards of the gravure industry. Most of her peers ...
TV announcer Yukari Oshima releases debut photo book

Japanese announcers are the ladies to follow if you want intelligence and grace.
Forget the gravure idols and all their busty, curvy charms. Forget the porn stars with their sexual prowess. Forget the music idols and their cute girl-next-door looks.
It's the announcers that everyone really wants to marry. Case in point, the wildly popular Minami Tanaka.
The 37-year-old Yukari Oshima (大島由香里) has now released her first photo book as part of her new stage in her career.
Married to a figure skated from 2016 to 2019 and now a freelance announcer, Oshima already wowed the internet ...
Busty idol Megumi Haruno finally reveals naked breasts, licks own nipples
February 9, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
If you're a fan of bakunyu "explosive breasts," then you're in for a treat because busty babe Megumi Haruno (春野恵) has answered your prayers.
The 32-year-old gravure idol is the veteran of many acting appearances and photo shoots, which generally play off her amazing assets. That said, they were nominally hidden underneath scanty lingerie or swimwear. The most she showed us was her butt, though this was pretty magnificent if you like big butts.
But she has finally given fans what they truly wanted: a full, unobstructed view of her nude breasts.
Shot in the wilds of Hokkaido last ...
All hail the miraculous wonder that is Jun Amaki

There are various little tricks or treats we use to get ourselves through these grim and uncertain days while waiting for the vaccine rollout in Tokyo.
One of the best is looking at pictures of Jun Amaki.
The busty goddess with the miracle body brings I-cup joy to our wintry life.
After coming down the coronavirus herself last year, she is back with a vengeance.
Here are some highlights from the 25-year-old's new photo book "Amanojaku" (Devil's Advocate), which came out January 14 from Tokuma Shoten. She also has a new image video out on DVD on February 18. Long may her career ...
Kyoko Saito (Hinatazaka46) releases new semi-nude photo book
February 3, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Music idol Kyoko Saito has released a new photo book that features semi-nude bathing shots. These days it is harder for us to go to hot springs, so fortunately Kyoko is here to show us what she looks like with her body dripping wet.
The 23-year-old, a veteran of Hinatazaka46 (the subgroup of Sakurazaka46/Keyakizaka46) since 2016, is enjoying good sales for her debut photo book, "Totte oki no koibito" (Lover in Reserve). The book came out on January 19 and has already entered a second print run of 30,000 on its initial 12,500 copies.
We have included some examples here for you to ...
Anri Gento comes out of nowhere with debut (semi-nude) photo book
December 11, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
The end-of-year photo book rush just got a bit busier with the debut release from Anri Gento (源藤アンリ).
While not particularly well known as a model or celebrity, Gento has notched up a fair number of television appearances recently. It's perhaps a little surprising that such a relative newbie would land her own photo book publishing deal with Shogakukan, though she has seized the opportunity with aplomb.
A guaranteed way to generate headlines and online interest is to take things a step further. Anri has stepped up to the challenge swimmingly by taking off her clothes.
Coming out ...
Miyu Kitamuki goes semi-nude for debut photo book
December 7, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Gravure idol and actress Miyu Kitamuki has posed for her most explicit photo shoot to date, a semi-nude spread in which she is fully naked but her modesty is hidden by carefully placed body parts -- not least, the classic "hand bra" (tebura).
The pictures appear in her first photo book, Koiyou (恋夕, Love Night), which came out last week from Kodansha. Previews were published in Weekly Playboy magazine.
The 20-year-old Kitamuki got her start in the entertainment industry in 2018 and, as an actress, her career highlights so far include the NHK drama series Idaten. She is ...
Sumire Yokono of NMB48 goes braless at 19 for debut photo book
November 26, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Sumire Yokono of NMB48, the Osaka sister group of AKB48, is celebrating her nineteenth birthday with a braless photo shoot.
Yokono has a hot, slinky body that is sensual and leggy that belies her youth. But we've so far only seen her in lingerie or swimwear.
Now she's gone semi-nude for her first photo book, "Anata no yoko no" (literally, Next to You -- but also a play on her name, meaning "Your Yokono"), which was shot in the sunnier climes of Okinawa and comes out on December 16 in Japan -- shortly after Su-chan's nineteenth birthday (meaning she was a comely 18 when the photos were ...
