Last month, we wrote about the second photo book by the ravishing Amazonian beauty that is Fumika.
As in her previous shoots, the former Miss Japan finalist and University of Tokyo alumni was showing off plenty of her athletic legs and svelte buttocks, while apparently hiding her actual breasts and nipples despite some very wet clothing in some of the shots.
We are pleased to reveal that Fumika has also revealed: the photo book is a proper nude shoot, including full-frontal nudity.
It's a hair nude, then, though you can't actually see any bush. Whether from very careful grooming or ...
The immensely popular Japanese porn star Eimi Fukada landed herself in hot water this week by complaining on social media that men should pay for dates with girls.
Fukada, who last year held a 24-hour "free hugs" event for fans, reasoned that women already have various expenses that men don't, such as hair styling, makeup, and clothing costs, not to mention the time the women spend getting ready for their date.
She said men should pay the "date charges" -- presumably meaning paying for all the costs of the date (meal, drinks, movie theater tickets, etc.), not an actual "fee" paid to the ...
Earlier this week we shared pictures of what retired gravure idol Yukie Kawamura now looks like in her late thirties, having seemingly embraced the role of married semi-rural mom.
If Yukie's comely wife look got your heart racing, wait till you see Misumi Shiochi's latest pictures.
Now aged 40, Shiochi is still stunning -- and wants to show herself off to the world (again).
She is, of course, no stranger to gravure shoots, including nude ones that reveal her shapely butt, the former TV announcer is Japan's favorite jukujo at the moment (since the likes of Mitsu Dan and Manami Hashimoto are ...
Long-time readers will know how the special place we had in our hearts for slinky gravure idol Yukie Kawamura.
All good things must come to an end, as they say, and Yukie Kawamura got married in 2019 to a musician -- and promptly retired from gravure and disappeared off our radar. In 2021, she gave birth to her first child.
We recently stumbled upon pics that show what Yukie Kawamura looks like now, married and with a child.
The 37-year-old former model, who made her gravure debut in 2003, is firmly in jukujo territory, which she seems to have embraced by turning into a hot rural mother. ...
Remember Fumika? How could you forget?!
In 2021, she smashed her way into the mainstream of gravure with a photo book shot by acclaimed Hajime Sawatari that showcased her stunning, athletic body -- and as nude as it's possible to be without showing actual nipples or more.
Now she's back with a very welcome second photo book, which comes out February 10 from major publisher Kadokawa. It's again shot by Hajime Sawatari and is also nude, though this time has a kind of "wild nature" theme with 28-year-old Fumika cast adrift, naked, amid the savage beauty of the landscape. It really accentuates ...
It's a dangerous thing to make your gravure debut in this day and age, when netizens have so many tools and resources at their disposal to do research on your background.
And so when the comely Rio Niita's (新田りお) gravure debut was announced with some fanfare, including an image video DVD release before she had even appeared in the usual gravure magazines, people got interested.
Who is she? Where did she suddenly spring from?
And the rumors are that the 19-year-old model already has a secret past career in porn.
Like most such "image videos," her new DVD (out January 25) ...
Happy New Year to all our readers.
We begin 2023 with some pleasant news -- or perhaps disappointing tiding to certain fans.
According to news reports, the prominent Japanese porn star Suzume Mino is to marry the comedian Akihiro Tabuchi.
Tabuchi (37), of the comedy duo Indians, will apparently tie the knot with Suzume Mino some time during 2023, according to news reports on January 1.
Their courtship is not news per se. It emerged in the summer that the two were dating, as reported on this blog.
Mino is now 26. She made her debut in 2019 and is wildly popular for her G-cup breasts. We ...
Ai Shinozaki made a gravure comeback initially in late 2021 and then again in early 2022, and the resulting semi-nude photo book was one of the highlights of the year.
Now aged 30, the famously busty (bakunyu) babe is a very welcome re-entry in our orbit. (In fact, she had been absent so long we presumed she had retired from gravure and entertainment.)
Her 2022 photo book was about as nude as it's possible to be without actually showing tits or ass (besides hints of her butt and plenty of side boob).
She's not resting on her laurels, it seems. Her latest shoot continues her gravure ...
AKB48's power has waned of late and it takes a scandal to make us sit up and take notice (though the recent sex scandals involving Nana Okada and Yuiri Murayama, culminating in the former quitting the group, added a little frisson to an otherwise dull media landscape).
Instead, we continue to follow what happens to the many members of the supergroup after they graduate. Though the majority vanish into the post-idol ether, a lucky few carve out careers in acting or TV, some keep on doing modeling and gravure work, and a small yet notable number move into porn.
Makiho Tatsuya ...
Attractive female sports athletes are a universal thing, of course, and such women can earn big bucks for sponsorship and modeling.
But there's a kind of culture in Japan of such female athletes of going the extra mile (especially if they are retired or not necessarily at the top of their field). And so you get lots of nude photo books by female athletes, from wrestlers to boxers, gymnasts, and swimmers.
The figure skater Mai Asada has pursued a lucrative side line in gravure, while the swimmer Miku Kojima and snowboarder Mero Imai went from nude shoots into porn.
The golfer Minase Ozawa ...
