Newbie gravure idol Yumi Asahina (朝比奈祐未) quickly made an impression on us a few months ago with her awesome butt -- so much so that we included her in our updated list of top asses in Japan.
Now she's gone one step further with a new photo book release that sees her strip off, not only revealing her gorgeous butt but even her bush and breasts. Praise the 8 million gods of Shinto! She's joined the long tradition of the "hair nude" full-frontal photo shoot.
The 26-year-old G-cup gravure idol was shot by Kendrick Watanabe for a retro-tinged photo book called Asahina Gaho (Asahina ...
Unless you are one of the increasingly small number of fans who follow all the inns and outs of the current lineup of idols in AKB48, you may not know who Rena Kato is. We didn't. But we certainly do now.
She has released her sexiest shoot to date. While it's not exactly pushing the boundaries like her cohorts, not least Haruka Shimda, or former members of the group who have gone on to sexier climates, such as Natsumi Hirajima and Aika Ota (and that's before we even start talking about the ex-AKB48 girls who have gone into porn), it's a pretty good way to make an impression on would-be ...
Can a glimpse at something be even more alluring than actually getting your hands on it?
Of all the myriad fetishes we cover on this modest blog, panchira (up-skirt panties view) has probably gained the most mainstream acceptance in recent times.
From calendars to umbrellas, virtual reality apps and adult video games, panchira is everywhere. Sometimes it's illegal and practitioners get into trouble. Other times, it's harmless fun.
Now comes the Specialized Panties Pose Collection: We Love Panties, So We Want to Draw Them ASAP, a "reference" book and photo book that showcases an ...
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 ...
It's something of an open secret these days that all the commercial excitement comes from Nogizaka46, not AKB or its direct sister groups.
Photo books by the likes of Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto have become runaway bestsellers, or photo shoots by Misa Eto have dazzled. Even more minor members such as Yumi Wakatsuki, Mai Shinuchi, Kazumi Takayama, and Miona Hori have established their reputations in recent times -- at least in our consciousness.
But let's not forget the official AKB48 sister groups. NMB48's Miru Shiroma, for example, is a true star on the rise.
And now the Nogizaka46 ...
Eri Ishida is responsible for one of the most famous "hair nude" full-frontal nude photo books. Of course, there were many women who made the genre so wildly successful two decades ago, but a lot have faded into the ether. Along with Rie Miyazawa's classic "Santa Fe," though, Ishida's joyful contributions have lingered firmly in the popular consciousness.
Eri Ishida is, of course, no longer a spring chicken but she is still working in the entertainment industry. In fact, she is releasing a new photo book in December -- and it's a hair nude one!
Yes, Eri Ishida is going to her roots ...
Ai Shinozaki is one of the most popular gravure idols in Japan but we have almost never featured her on this blog. (An exception is that great story from back in 2015 when Ai Shinozaki was turned into the first "artificial intelligence gravure idol".)
She has all the classic assets of a gradoll: big bust, curvy body, cute face. But something about her just doesn't click with us. Maybe we are too fussy?
Well, this blog is not simply a forum exclusively for showcasing our own personal proclivities and tastes, so we wanted to share Ai Shinozaki's latest photo shoot, which really shows off ...
Tomoko Nakajima was once a regular fixture on Japanese television screens.
The former comedian and TV personality suffered a scandal in 2011, when she suddenly disappeared from the spotlight and, it then turned out, was several months in arrears for her expensive condo and locked in a legal dispute.
Her troubles were rooted in the advice of a fortune teller, who had been living with her since 2005 and seemed to have a strange influence over Nakajima. Many said she had been brainwashed. Her agency effectively sacked her in 2013 and her comedy duo, Othello, split up.
She has been making a ...
Japanese gravure idols are mostly famous for one thing: their busts.
Sure, not all of them have giant breasts but the proportion of busty models is pretty high. There are all kinds of things you can do with such breasts, from groping them to raise money for charity to keeping various objects balanced on them.
If you want a way to accurately check and compare gravure idols' various chest sizes, we recommend the Oppai Zukan, or Full-Sized Gravure Idol Breasts Reference Book.
This hefty book features such gravure idols as Nanoka, Eimi Matsushima, Saki Funaoka, Nonoko, Sayaka Onuki, Mayumi ...
They say that half the Japanese web is cats and the other half is food.
That's false: a third is cats, a third is food and the last third is various shades of porn and adult content.
So when you combine these elements, you get a recipe for a hit online or offline. For example, nyotaimori or the "condom cookbook" we featured back in 2014.
Now along comes "Painyan", a new 96-page photo book by Yuki Aoyama released on May 31st. Regular readers will recall that Aoyama is the photographer with something of an obsession with schoolgirls.
This time Aoyama has turned his lens away from ...
