More images from Moemi Katayama nude photo book Rashin
February 3, 2017
/ Tadashi Anahori
You may recall our glee when advance images appeared showing busty gravure model Moemi Katayama fully in the buff -- bush and all -- for her new photo book, Rashin.
It's rare for a gravure model to make the switch to a hair nude shoot (okay, so she's wearing clothes but they are see-through, so this is basically full-frontal stuff) just as her career is starting to get going. Normally they wait until they are over 30 and things are not looking great for them, such as Haruna Yabuki did recently (though hair nudes were originally used by some stars to launch their careers).

Moemi Katayama nude photos leaked ahead of new photo book, Rashin
December 26, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Here is an awesome, belated Christmas present for you folks: nude photos of Moemi Katayama that have leaked ahead of the official release of her new photo book out next year.
The 26-year-old Katayama has become increasingly better known over the past 1-2 years. She released her first photo book in September and the new one, "Rashin", comes out on January 5th. Since 2015 she has been a favorite gravure idol for weekly tabloid magazine shoots, and even appeared in a Kirin ad in May.
This, though, is by far the most explicit the busty G-cup gravure idol has ...
New Ai Okawa photo book allows you to undress her, undo her bra
November 3, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
When so many idols and models are releasing their own new photo book every month, how do you stand out?
Well, the producers of the new Ai Okawa photo book came up with a novel marketing strategy that will certainly take some beating.
It meant you could experience undressing the alluring fashion model with a "bra strap" attached to the reverse of her latest photo book. It allows the enthusiastic male reader to unclip the bra from Ai Okawa's naked back.
And when your Ai Okawa fantasies run dry (as if), you can even use the bra wrapping to practice your girl-undressing ...
AKB48’s Minami Minegishi goes slinky in new photo book

More images have emerged from Minami Minegishi's new photo book.
There was some initial buzz about it last month over a preview "hand bra" picture that appeared.
Now some other images have appeared and they show Minami Minegishi at her slinky best.
Watashi wa Watashi (I am Me) is shot by famed nude photographer Meisa Fujishiro.
It went on release on July 12 but so far hasn't been selling well. In fact, the major AKB48 photo book releases from Rino Sashihara and Haruna Kojima sold much better.
Now that Haruna Kojima will graduate AKB, the last original member left is ...
A short history of the hair nude: Full-frontal nude photo shoots by Japanese actresses, models, and idols
July 18, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
The "hair nude" is a curious Japanese-English term. It refers not just to naked flesh; it's naked flesh specifically with genital hair.
What is "shocking" here is the display of pubic hair, the line by which art and entertainment is usually fettered in Japan. It is fine to have plenty of nudity in films and print publications, but to avoid the century-old ambiguous obscenity laws, people censored or did not show actual pubic hair.
The hair nude set out to deliberately show this bush taboo was something to be challenged, both legally and artistically.
While the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki ...
Haruna Yabuki’s hair nude photo book by Kishin Shinoyama photos
July 12, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
We got pretty excited when news broke in May that model Haruna Yabuki was releasing a hair nude (full-frontal) photo book shot by Kishin Shinoyama.
Now that the collection -- called simply Haruna -- has hit the shelves, we are pleased that some scans are making the rounds online.
More will surely emerge over the weeks -- and hopefully better quality ones, too. For now, enjoy Haruna's lush thirtysomething body. If she seems too good to be true, remember that her celebrity boyfriend wasn't satisfied and two-timed her with a hostess. She literally found him in bed with ...
Yuki Aoyama celebrates Japanese schoolgirls flipping skirts
July 7, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Yuki Aoyama and his Schoolgirl Complex series has fast become the pseudo-artistic erotic photography phenomenon of the 2010s.
If you have a thing for waif-like, slender angels, then Aoyama's work is for you.
Well, School Complex 4 has come out and this time the theme is schoolgirls "flipping" each other's skirts -- a theme also explored in calendars, of course. As Kenny Everett said: All in the best possible taste!
To celebrate, there is an exhibition at Yukai Hands Gallery, in the Waseda area, from July 22nd to July 31st.
We love how a section of the ...
Minami Minegishi tebura hand bra is semi-nude delight
June 19, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Ahead of the release in July of her new photo book, a preview image of Minami Minegishi has come out showing the slinky idol doing the classic semi-nude "hand bra" (tebura) pose.
While pretty tame considering what some AKB48 graduates get up to, this kind of photo shoot has become something of a rite of passage for AKB48 idols.
Haruna Kojima did it, covering her gorgeous pale flesh with her tiny hands. Likewise, Atsuko Maeda has done a tebura and so did Yuko Oshima in a Mika Ninagawa shoot.
Most notoriously, Tomomi Kasai's tebura was so controversial it led Kodansha to cancel ...
New nude photos of 1990s idol Kanako Kojima released
June 10, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
We've always been a fan of the older idols. We find the photo shoots sexier and the woman more alluring.
From Chiharu Komatsu to Naomi Kawashima and Azumi Kawashima, our glory days are the 1990s and early 2000s, especially when the so-called "hair nude" shoots were still at their peak.
Kanako Kojima is one such beauty. Born in 1975, her career height was from around 1997 for a few years as an actress and tarento. Towards the end -- in 2006 -- she released a great hair nude photo book. She also showed off her naked pregnant body.
These days she is in her forties and out of the limelight as ...
New photo book by Yuji Susaki highlights busty gravure idols
June 2, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Like big boobs? Check.
Like things being wrapped around big boobs? Check.
Yes, this photo book by Yuji Susaki may have it all.
Wrap the Boobs is a new photo book about Japanese girls with giant breasts (not quite bakunyu but getting there) and how wrapping their perfect jugs in things can heighten the visual feast.
The photographer is previously known for his work with cosplayers like idol group Dempagumi.inc..
Models in the new photo book -- out now from Ichijinsha -- include Hikaru Aoyama, Mizuki Katase, Jun Amaki (formerly of the masked idol group Kamen Joshi), and the ...
