After wowing the world with her perfectly proportioned body and face late last year, gravure idol Airi Sato landed a supporting role in the second season of the porn-themed Netflix drama series The Naked Director. While admittedly not as impressive as her co-stars' sex scenes like Misato Morita, Yuri Tsunematsu, or Yuka Masuda, Sato appears nude in the series. She gives us a look at her breasts in a scene in a strip show (the series is set in the 1980s and 1990s, back when burlesque was still popular in Japan). The slinky and beautiful Sato is hoping to capitalize on her exposure in the ...

Gravure idol and actress Miyu Kitamuki has posed for her most explicit photo shoot to date, a semi-nude spread in which she is fully naked but her modesty is hidden by carefully placed body parts -- not least, the classic "hand bra" (tebura). The pictures appear in her first photo book, Koiyou (恋夕, Love Night), which came out last week from Kodansha. Previews were published in Weekly Playboy magazine. The 20-year-old Kitamuki got her start in the entertainment industry in 2018 and, as an actress, her career highlights so far include the NHK drama series Idaten. She is ...

Earlier this year we wrote about the comeback photo book featuring 40-year-old model Asami Kumakiri (熊切あさ美). Even after entering her fifth decade, the jukujo beauty still looks stunning with her sun-kissed, well-toned body, which she shows off in the modest yet sensual shoot. The appropriately named "Bare Self" is her first photo book in 16 years and has enjoyed good sales. Now we have more images from that photo book to share as well as a semi-nude photo shoot from a weekly magazine that Asami Kumakiri did recently. We've also included some images from a 2021 calendar that went ...

Ayaka Miyoshi is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful actresses and models popular in Japan right now but, with some exceptions, she is rarely seen in overtly sensual or sexy shoots. For the most part, she keeps her clothes on and has settled for a more mainstream appeal. That has all changed with her jaw-dropping appearance in the September 9 issue of Anan, confirming the magazine's reputation for enhancing models' careers with provocative shoots. The shoot puts to shame the spreads you find in the tabloids and even gravure magazines like Weekly Playboy. It's what you might expect an AV ...

We love a comeback, hence our interest in the apparently nude photo book by Angelica Michibata scheduled for release in August. We also love a jukujo, hence our interest in the comebacks by single mom Hiroko Sato and former Morning Musume Asuka Fukuda. So now there's Asami Kumakiri, whose summer-themed photo book "Bare Self" more or less lives up to the name. It's the first time in 16 years that the 40-year-old idol, a former member of the group Checkicco and (we understand) still unmarried, has released a photo book. It's not nude, and barely qualifies as semi-nude, but Asami does give us ...

In December 2019, it was reported that 61-year-old Japanese politician Yasuhiro Ozata (小里泰弘) was asked to pay a "break-up fee" (solatium) by a much-younger woman with whom he was having an affair. The Liberal Democratic Party member of the House of Representatives and former Cabinet minister allegedly paid Yuno Morita (森田由乃) ¥100,000 per night during their relationship. They became acquainted through a members-only club where she worked in Roppongi three years ago. They would subsequently meet as often as three times a month at a hotel -- high-end, naturally, not some grubby ...

As the old adage says, if you want to get more fans -- strip, strip, strip. The music idol group predia seems to have listened. For the music video of its tenth single release, "Shalala Niagara," the members of the group stripped nude and covered their breasts with their hands (the classic "tebura" hand bra pose) and paint. The video for "Shalala Niagara" was available on YouTube but has since mysterious disappeared, snagged by an age-restriction issue. YouTube designated it 18-only, so the six-member group's management decided to take it offline on November 6th, when the single was ...

As former NGT8 idol's Maho Yamaguchi cements her recovery from the mistreatment she received at the hands of the group's management with her debut photo book, another ex-AKB group lady is determined to make her mark after graduating. Previously a member of AKB48 from 2013 to 2017, Nana Owada releases her first photo book, Risutaato (Restart), which came out on September 15 amid a reasonable flush of publicity. As we reported in August, Nana has chosen the semi-nude style of shoot to make a splash, including the classic tebura "hand bra" shot. In fact, though, the first leaked photos from ...

Formerly of idol group NMB48, Miyuki Watanabe's new photo book sees the slinky young lady pose semi-nude. The shoot includes the 25-year-old in a tebura ("hand bra") pose for her first photo book in three years, Miyuki desu. (This is Miyuki.). While the semi-transparent bottoms are rather lovely and there's the hint of a butt crack, it's not a particularly explicit in terms of nudity -- no buttocks on display, just some side boob -- but fans will still be pleased with the tantalizing glimpses she offers of her body. Will this be enough to maintain her career after leaving the ...

Curvy (well, comparatively curvy) former AKB48 idol Nana Owada will release her debut photo book and it includes a semi-nude cover with a "hand bra" (tebura) shot. This kind of shot, where the lady covers her breasts with her hands and reveals plenty of side boob, has become a standard trope in semi-nude idol photo shoots. Past examples from the AKB stables alone include Minami Minegishi, Ayaka Umeda, Atsuko Maeda, Rina Hirata, Haruna Kojima, Yuko Oshima, and -- most controversially -- Tomomi Kasai, whose tebura effectively ended her career. As Maho Yamaguchi is demonstrating, there is ...
