Welcome back, Shizuka Nakamura. We've missed you.
We can't think of the last time that we saw a new shoot by the former top gradol. Thankfully, building on the momentum of her role in the high-profile Netflix adultery drama Fishbowl Wives, in which she appears in a sex scene, Shizuka Nakamura has returned to her first career: gravure.
Shizuka Nakamura appears in the March 25 issue of weekly magazine Friday with a nine-page, winter-onsen-themed shoot. Now aged 33 and as a slim as ever (if anything, a bit slimmer than before?), the Kyoto native has matured into a sensual jukujo. (If we're ...
It seems a long time since current or past members of AKB48 have made a real impression on the public at large. The power of the supergroup has waned significantly and its members are rarely seen in major advertising campaigns like they were in the 2000s and early 2010s, though we still try to follow what certain present and former idols are up to these days.
Ayaka Umeda is now 33 years old. She left AKB48 in 2016 after 10 years with the group, and has since established herself as an actor. What a great age, and it really shows.
Her second photo book, "Etude," is out now, and here are a few ...
We love a good comeback story.
After some time quietly doing her own thing on YouTube and Instagram, Yukina Kinoshita (木下優樹菜) has returned to the mainstream entertainment world.
As a kind of de facto apology for her recent scandals, the 34-year-old mother of two is releasing a nude photo book.
"CORRECT" is published by Futabasha and released on March 17. It's being publicized heavily as "nude," though the preview images we have seen so far are only semi-nude (in the classic "hand bra" pose, or tebura). We will update with more pictures when they become available. Hopefully this ...
She promised. She delivered. Now this is what we call a comeback -- and a way to celebrate entering your thirties in style.
As teased in January, veteran gravure idol Ai Shinozaki has returned to what she does best.
And now that her new photo book, "IDEA," is out in Japan from publisher Kodansha, we can share the highlights. Fans have been waiting over four years for a new Ai Shinozaki photo book. They won't be disappointed.
It features a milky-bath shoot that is about as nude as you can get without showing actual nudity. Ai-chan is famous for her huge bakunyu breasts -- hey, this is ...
The former Yumemiru Adolescence idol Kyouka is, as we have eagerly chronicled on this blog, leaving gravure with a highly anticipated nude photo book.
The goodies have been released piecemeal with photo shoots in Weekly Friday.
The latest to catch our roaming eye (published in the February 1 issue of Flash) are these pictures, once again showing off her ravishing breasts in all their glory. Such exquisite shape and size -- and what beautiful skin!
The photo book, which finally now has a title ("Frontera"), is being promoted as a "full nude," suggesting that the 22-year-old ...
While we're getting excited about TikToker Unpai's porn debut and gravure idol Kyouka's nude photo book, other developments can slip under our radar.
Aina Misaki (岬愛奈) was not a gradol we weren't so familiar with before but we are now, since she's upped the ante by stripping nude for the first time.
The 26-year-old Nagano native debuted in the gravure industry in 2017 and has now released a nude photo book and accompanying DVD.
We initially wrote about her last year when the photo book, "All Aina," was announced and first preview images appeared. We are pleased to share more.
Her ...
Last month, a lot of readers joined us in admiring Kyouka's breasts. The former Yumemiru Adolescence idol had teased us throughout 2021 with provocative shoots, finally rewarding with a nude photo book.
The photo book, which was shot in Okinawa, is yet to be released -- meaning we may be in for even better treats in due time -- but further images from it confirm there are other great nude shots of her body.
Though these are not full-frontals (are those waiting for us between the covers of the release on March 4), but once again showcase the 22-year-old's ravishingly voluptuous F-cup breasts ...
Reina Triendl, one of the most prominent biracial models and actors in Japan, has just released a new photo book to mark her thirtieth birthday.
Published by Kodansha, "Aimai" (Ambiguous) is the Austrian-Japanese haafu's first photo book in eight years. We also reckon this is her hottest shoot yet.
Sure, doe-eyed Tori-chan ain't the kind of lady who's likely to pose nude, but the lingerie shoot nonetheless shows off her buttocks and bare back.
Despite her innocent and naive looks, Triendl actually graduated from the prestigious Keio University. As an actor, ...
Nana Suzuki has rewarded her many fans by going nude again -- about five years after her previous shoot.
This is what is technically classified as a "semi-nude" in Japan, since you don't see any nipples (much less bush), but Nana certainly looks stunning in profile and with much of her butt on view.
She's now 33 years old and balances mature quasi-jukujo allure with a yoga-toned slenderness.
A model since her high school days for magazine Popteen (and associated with another similar model Tsubasa Masuwaka), Nana is these days mostly a TV tarento famous for being famous, but is finally ...
Gravure idol and actress Asuka Hanamura (華村あすか) has given her fans a real treat with a semi-nude photo shoot. Though she has done plenty of lingerie and bikini shoots over the past few years, this is her most explicit to date.
The 22-year-old is promoting her first photo book, which comes out from Shogakukan on January 31.
In the shoot, which is featured in the January 25 of Flash magazine, she covers her nude body with her arm in a version of the classic tebura (hand bra) pose and also shows off her naked back. In other shots, she is lying wet in water, though her nipples are ...
