Fetish Fashion Tokyo, photo book showcases Japanese latex fetish scene
October 9, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Fetish Fashion Tokyo (or FetishFashion.Tokyo) is a new photography book showcasing the fetish scene in Japan's capital.
Released on October 10th, it features photography by Peter W Czernich and modeling from mannequin duo FEMM and Hirari Ikeda (that's her on the cover). Contributors include latex brands Kurage and Atsuko Kudo.
The book is bilingual, in English and Japanese, and edited by fetish magazine Infamous Magazine.
Don't expect anything hard-core in the book. From the looks of things, its focus is on latex fetish as a fashion statement more than a sexual ...
Ex-SDN48 idol Machiko Tezuka strips again
September 17, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
We swiftly became fans of curvy, sultry Machiko Tezuka when she first stripped off for a hair nude shoot in 2013.
Formerly of SKE48 and now-disbanded SDN48, the J-cup mistress has gone through several name changes: from Machiko Tezuka (her real name) to Ourei Harada (gravure debut) to Eiko Maeda (SKE48 debut), and back to Machiko Tezuka (SDN48 debut).
Now the 1986-born Machiko has stripped off again this year for some more photos. She is promoting a new photo book out in October, hence the motivation to take her clothes off again for the tabloids. Hey, we certainly won't complain about some ...
Yuka Kuramochi, the best butt in Japan, shows us her whole body
September 15, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Yuka Kuramochi has legions of fans for one simple reason: her butt.
She has one of the curviest of asses in Gravure idol, which is complemented perfect by a slim waist and large bust. It apparently measures over 100cm!
And now Yuka Kuramochi has done perhaps her sexiest shoot yet. And it really shows off her naked flesh in a shoot for Young Animal magazine.
The 23-year-old idol is promoting her new photo book "Funbashiri", shot partly at her family home in Funabashi, Chiba. (The title is a pun on the city ...
Fumi Nikaido strips off for next stage of her career
August 30, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Fumi Nikaido is a sprightly 20-year-old Okinawan but has already acquired legions of fans.
A child star, she made her debut as a junior idol when 12. She is probably best known overseas for her role in Himizu in 2011.
In addition to her prolific career (starring in several films a year), she posed nude for Weekly Playboy in 2014 and an accompanying photo book. Sadly, it wasn't a full-frontal "hair nude" shoot, though that might even be illegal, given that she was under 20.
No breasts on display yet but give her time...
It was also reported she was dating older actor ...
Male nipple fetish photo book may be a step too far for some
August 28, 2015
/ Megumi
It's no secret that this blog showcases its fair share of female nipples.
But what about men? Men have two nipples, don't you know!
They tend to get a bad rap: some metrosexual guys in Japan even cover up their nipples with stickers.
Well, if you have a hankering for male nipples, then you might want to check out this book, spotted at the recent Comiket.
With photography by Minatsuki, “I love everyone! Man’s nipple” is everything you would expect from such a title.
While there may be some people who want to gaze at large images of male nipples -- and ...
With the notable exception of Gravure models and porn stars, most Japanese women's busts are on the small side.
Of course, that doesn't mean they can't be cute.
Whole fashion lines have emerged to enhance the looks of flat-chested women, as well as some bras to make your breasts appear smaller.
Evidence even suggests that Japanese men prefer women with flat chests to the stereotypes of female beauty.
There is also a hinnyu ("poor breasts") Gravure idol called Mana. Granted, she's hardly in the top of her league but the fact that there are idols who trade on their hinnyu style ...
Haruna Kojima strips off for Weekly Playboy, new photo book
March 25, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
The career of Haruna Kojima (known as Kojiharu to her fans) may be on the wane, having lost the lucrative Peach John lingerie modeling gig to Saeko and her sizzling charm.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't have the power still to shift magazines.
To launch her new photo book, Kojiharu has been featured on the cover of Playboy magazine. Inside is a sweet photo shoot showing off her pale body.
There is some serious Photoshop going on here, though. Kojiharu famously has very sensitive skin and close-ups on TV usually reveal this.
Her new photo book is called Dou suru? (What shall we do?) ...
Yumi Sugimoto goes fully nude for “Chiamata” photo-book
March 2, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
We love Yumi Sugimoto.
The slinky idol is one of the top Gravure models in Japan.
And the 26-year-old has finally answered our wishes and stripped off for her new photo-book Chiamata, some highlights of which were recently published in FRIDAY and Shukan Playboy magazines.
Okay, let's not get too excited. This isn't true hair nude territory or even nude in the same way that Ayaka Sayama stripped off recently.
But it's by far the most explicit shoot Yumi Sugimoto has done. And it REALLY got us ...
Despite scandals, Kamen Joshi (Masked Girls) release semi-nude swimwear photo book
February 25, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Kamen Joshi have released a new semi-nude swimwear-themed photo book.
The Akihabara underground idol (chika aidoru) group famously wears hockey masks but in "Mizugi Kamen" (Swimwear Mask) there will be more flesh on display than usual.
The photo book features on the cover Anna Tachibana, Erina Kamiya (G-cup bust!) and Jun Amaki (I-cup!). The book features 105 sexy images of the girls, including semi-lesbian bed scenes.
Kamen Joshi has three sub-groups: Alice Juban, Steamgirls and Armorgirls. The Alice Project idol group is famous for being masked (their name means "masked girls") ...
Former AKB48 idol Anna Mori offers dates on photo book crowdfunding campaign
January 23, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Like that perennial stumper "Where do elephants go to die?", the question of what happens to all the scores of AKB48 idols once they "graduate" is often on our minds.
Sure, some go on to mildly successful acting careers. But for the most, there is only oblivion or a career in porn.
Faced with this dilemma, Anna Mori decided to go to the grassroots.
She launched this crowdfunding campaign to get her first photo book into publication. Why should only the "top" ladies get all the kudos and merchandise? She has her fans too!
As she turned 20 (and thus an adult -- yes!), she set a ...
