The year is drawing to a close: another twelve months packed full of gravure shoots and photo books. But who did the most memorable nude shoot? Sure, there were plenty of sexy and semi-nude shoots, but who made their nude debuts? Who looked best without their clothes on? We look at the best nude shoots in 2021 from gravure idols, models, and other celebrities (not porn stars, since going nude is par for the course). Former Morning Musume idol and singer Maki Goto make a high-profile comeback to live performance and also released a photo book, where she went nude again -- and proved how ...

One of our current favorite gravure idols, 23-year-old Tsubasa Hazuki (葉月つばさ), is releasing her long-awaited second print photo book at the end of the month. As we wrote before about it earlier in the summer, it's yet another nude book, following her debut, "Red Zone," which was released last year. This time, with veteran gravure photographer Koki Nishida, she shows us even more of her body, including her nipples -- admittedly covered by wet clothing or translucent fabric. It's not quite full-frontal (hair nude) stuff yet, but very, very close. After the previous spread we picked ...

She generously showed us her naked butt last year. And now Tsubasa Hazuki has gone even further. In her latest onsen-themed photo book, Hazuki is shown nude under a very wet, very thin garment. Her breasts and nipples are clearly visible through the fabric. Her mons pubis is also shown in close-up and she appears to be paipan. This is about as close as you can get to a full-nude shoot without being naked -- nominally speaking. So now we have a vicarious sense of what it would be like to take Tsubasa Hazuki away for an intimate stay at a hot spring resort. If only this was actually one of ...

At the end of last year, we reported on a nude photo book by Aya Hazuki. Though nominally naked, Hazuki stopped short of actual nudity by carefully posed dressing gowns and tape. Aya Hazuki is not to be confused with Tsubasa Hazuki (葉月つばさ), who has a similar name but is younger. The other Hazuki has taken things further with her latest shoot, where we finally get to see what she's been keeping under wraps (to be fair, at times barely) throughout her photo shoots so far. While her generous bust remains hidden, the slinky 22-year-old's cute butt is on fully display. We prefer a bit ...
