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 ...

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?) ...

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 ...

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") ...

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 ...

A little while ago the gravure world was stunned by the sudden appearance of a gorgeous model called Rara Anzai. She made her debut in a nude shoot for Weekly Playboy magazine that fully showed off her incredible bust and body to the full. The photos are "censored" but are actually highlights from a full-front "hair nude" photo-book called "Hello, Goodbye", published in June 2014. (It's common for photo-books, especially high-profile and raunchy ones, to have a promo spread in a weekly tabloid magazine at the same time as the release.) In fact, a little bit of digging by those in ...

AKB48's Yuko Oshima like you've never seen her before, naked! At least, that's what the publisher is (almost) promising. While she has never been averse to risque shoots, Yuko's new photo book is particularly eyebrow-raising. By comparison, most AKB girls, even after graduating, remain fairly safe, though there are exceptions. Atsuko Maeda, for example, is attempting to forge a career in mainstream acting (good luck with that). Over the summer the twenty-five-year-old Yuko has been stripping down for photographer Mika Ninagawa. The results are a photo book to be released in ...

Saeko. The cute little minx was famous for being famous a while back. Then she was famous being a famous baseball player's wife. Then she was famous for divorcing the famous baseball player. Then she was just famous. Kind of. Now she is reinventing herself. She has just released a "semi-nude" sexy photo book this month, Episode 1, which comes after Saeko Snap! last year. Both feature a lot of flesh, confirming our suspicions that Saeko is not just a gold-digging ditzy tarento who may or may not have had plastic surgery. She married Yu Darvish in 2007; it was of course a shotgun ...

Haruna Kojima, the 25-year-old AKB48 idol who we believe is the only major AKB girl with anything worth talking about, has released her first photo book "Kojiharu". Just in time for Christmas, the book features a selection of hot images, not least one in which Haruna is doing her best to promote the AKB tradition of the te-bura -- or "hand bra". AKB girls have a habit of doing this kind of shot, though at least this time there is no child involved. Here are some luscious snaps from behind the scenes. And just to prove how nice ...
