Proverbial jaws have hit the floor with the gravure debut of Suzu Aoi, which is a stunning nude shoot.
Aoi is supposedly a current college student with a winning smile, girl-next-door looks, and incredible bust.
She reportedly has a 100 cm pair of I-cup breasts, and in what can only be described as Christmas coming early, she has already shown the world what they look like in a new digital photo book release from Flash. The shot where she presses her breasts up against the wet, see-through shower wall (a common type of shot in Japanese erotica) is just the chef's kiss.
And she ...
The Japanese tabloid Flash has run an extraordinary interview with a former soapland sex worker with an elite education, and today works as an administrative scrivener.
Sumika Hori (保利澄香) was born into an elite family of doctors in Akita Prefecture, in northern Japan.
She endured humiliating experiences during childhood, such as being called fat by her family, and she ran away from her family home. She successfully escaped by enrolling in a high school with a dormitory in Kanagawa Prefecture, near Tokyo, but voluntarily withdrew due to various circumstances, leading to an unstable ...
Gravure idol and actress Rina Koike continues to demonstrate her ageless beauty even as she continues to march into her thirties.
She has just done a cover shoot for the July 7 issue of Flash, showing off her alluring cure of her back and her subtle buttocks. The lingerie and swimwear shoot, which has a wet bathhouse theme (perfect as the rainy season gives way to the heat of summer), is accompanied by a digital photo book.
Now 32 and turning 33 in September, Koike still has essentially the same girl-next-door sensuality and innocent looks from much earlier in the 20+ years of her ...
Everyone wants to be the next Minami Tanaka. While there have been plenty of past examples of Japanese TV announcers (newsreaders) shifting into modeling, both fashion and gravure modeling, Tanaka pioneered a successful style of shifting her career into a whole other stratosphere by releasing a sexy photo book in her early thirties, and earning a strong fandom among both men and similarly aged women.
But Tanaka is now about to turn 40 and focused on her new career as an actor, so there's a gap in market for a newbie.
We've seen a clutch of ladies recently try to assume the mantle: Anna ...
In early March, we reported on Akari Yoshida's gravure comeback under a new name.

It wasn't a one-off. Koda has leveraged that shoot to keep building momentum in the competitive world of gravure, which is always looking for the next talent as the major publications seek to keep readers interested at a time when other images are just a click or swipe away.

Mayumi Yamazaki has burst back onto the scene at the age of 53 years young. Marking her first gravure shoot in 32 years, the comely ex-idol appears in a shoot over eight pages of the current issue of Weekly Flash.
Of course, makeup and Photoshop can work wonders for anyone, but we think Mayumi looks fantastic. Let's hope this isn't just a one-off.
