The former AKB48 idol Ayano Umeta has gone semi-nude for a eye-catching and provocative shoot that really shows off her bust.
In the resulting photo featured in the current issue of Weekly Playboy, which is now delighting netizens, 20-year-old Ayano seems to be wearing no panties as she leans out of a bath, her shirt dripping wet as it clings to her alluring body.
That body is surprisingly busty for her young age and petite figure.
Umeta left AKB48 in March 2017 after joining the group in 2011, since when she has changed her professional name to Ayano Shimizu (清水綾乃) and tried to ...
The Japanese YouTuber Sakikichi has made her gravure idol shoot debut in the July 13th issue of Weekly Playboy.
Known for videos about food and fashion, Sakikichi has an alluring, almost otherworldly beauty that is well used in the five-page shoot.
Having already attracted over 17 million YouTube video views and 125,000 subscribers, Sakikichi is hoping to attract a new kind of fandom with this somewhat unexpected career shift.
She even made a video for her channel showing some of behind-the-scenes footage from the ...
After developing a gravure idol career for some time, slinky yet busty 20-year-old Yuka Ogura (小倉優香) is set to take things to the next level with a nude shoot for the latest issue of Weekly Playboy.
It's not especially explicit, as is typical for the weekly tabloid, but Yuka shows off her pert butt by lying down flat. This is perfectly timed just as the weather in Tokyo has really heated up and everyone wants to spend their days lounging around naked.
Yuka Ogura is one of those iyashi-kei idols -- "healing" idols whose gentle smiles and girl-next-door looks have universal ...
On June 19, Miru Shiroma of AKB48 sister group NMB48 releases her first photo book "Love Rush." As a preview and promo of what's inside, the current issue of weekly tabloid Shukan Playboy has a double-sided cover with an alluring shot of the popular idol without a top on and her breasts covered by her hair.
Is this a kind of pun? As in, a "hair nude" without the nudity -- just the hair? It's also a sort of update on the usual "hand bra" shot.
There was already buzz about Miru's "busty" debut photo book back in the spring when some images and details about the Australian shoot emerged. ...
Do we have another gravure star here?
Netizens are currently buzzing about the gravure debut of Asami Ota (太田 麻美). Born in 1990, Asami has got people all excited not for the usual gravure reasons: big breasts, curvy body, and a cute face. No, she's got absolutely amazing legs and is really determined to show them off.
The slinky Asami is a race queen who won a prize at the recent Japan Race Queen Award in 2018. The prize was sponsored by Weekly Playboy, who then featured Asami in an issue in April. For which, history is forever grateful!
While motor show fans have already ...
After leaving AKB48, Morning Musume, or another related idol group, most performers sadly disappear into obscurity. A rare few establish a mainstream careers in acting or entertainment. A growing number enter adult video. Another subset try to ramp up the sexiness and pose for semi-nude gravure shoots.
Examples of the latter include the alluring Mariya Nagao, delightfully curvy Natsumi Hirajima, Ayaka Umeda, Aika Ota, and Machiko Tezuka.
Now another fine young lady joins their esteemed ranks: Seira Miyazawa, the 25-year-old former member of Nogizaka46, has posed for a Weekly Playboy ...
Each month, many women debut in adult video to different levels of hype and fanfare. Just as many quickly disappear after their contracts end or resurface under a new performer name.
But surely this young lady is set to be one of the biggest stars in Japanese pornography?
The angelic-looking Mahiro Tadai (唯井まひろ) will make her debut in adult video with a new title released on SOD Star on June 7th.
Born in March 2000, Mahiro Tadaima is a mere 18 years old. Doesn't that make you feel old?!
The 180-minute video is rather unoriginally called "Mahiro Tadaima 18 Years Old AV ...
If this is what the ongoing cleaning-up of Shinjuku's notorious red-light district means, then bring it on.
The AV and gravure idols magazine Weekly Playboy is opening a bar in Kabukicho from June 10.
Every night, different gravure models will be serving drinks at Shupure Sakaba (Weekly Playboy Bar) to a few very lucky customers.
This is an exclusive VIP bar with just five seats per session and a limit of only three seatings per night. Needless to say, reservations are a must and there is a hefty cover charge of ¥10,000 for one hour and a four-course meal (drinks and food not in the ...
Haruna Kojima is about to turn 29 but is still a member of an idol group. That's either dedication or desperation, it seems. Only a very small number of former AKB48 idols have forged successful secondary careers. Most have vanished. Some have become porn stars.
Perhaps conscious of this, Haruna Kojima has delayed her graduation for some time. It was first announced in 2016. But it seems it is finally happening this month, and this year has seen various graduation events to finalize her departure from the one-time supergroup.
And so it is no surprise that she has celebrated her 12 years ...
Disgraced gravure idol and now one of AV's top porn stars Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki has joined her fellow porn newcomer Yua Mikami (Momona Kito) for what must be the sexiest photo shoot of the year.
These nude shots, taken for Weekly Playboy in the autumn, really show off both their voluptuous bodies to the full.
What's more, in a more recent subsequent nude photo shoot the two were joined by none other than Mana Sakura, who is already a major star in her own right. There was even a 30-minute video to accompany the "lesbian threesome" shoot. And check out those stunning ...
