The world of gravure is a ruthless one.
An gradol who graces the covers of Weekly Playboy or Friday one month, may be forgotten half a year later, and forced to turn to gimmicky stunts like a full-frontal nude shoot to get back in the game.
Who are we to complain? We love all the visuals.
Ai Shinozaki (篠崎愛) is one of those gravure idols who seems to have been around all the many years we have written this blog. That's essentially quite true -- she made her debut in 2006 as a junior idol.
With her cute, youthful, come-hither face and bouncy bust, she has a classic gradol body.
But ...
The singer Yuki Miura (三浦由希) has been fired from the four-member Japanese idol group Luna×Holic after it emerged she was moonlighting as a porn star.
Miura's porn debut comes out today, January 25, in Japan. The 60-minute limited edition (SBMO01226) is followed by another 60-minute release (SBMO01208) in late February. The releases, which have swimwear and schoolgirl themes, clearly emphasize the young idol's busty assets.
(To clarify what wasn't clear when we first published this post: these are fully nude videos but don't seem to feature hardcore/on-screen ...
In August last year, we wrote about a stunning nude shoot featuring former Olympic swimmer Miku Kojima (小嶋美紅).
That seriously whetted our appetites, of course, and we were expecting what has now been confirmed: Kojima has made her porn debut.
The one-time Olympic swimmer for Japan appears in a release from Soft on Demand, out from February 23 domestically.
As is common, the 21-year-old has adopted a performer name: Saki Shinkai (新海咲).
Also as is common for such a debut, the SOD Star production (code not yet announced) is a clear nod at her past (and appeal) with a ...
Gravure idol and actress Asuka Hanamura (華村あすか) has given her fans a real treat with a semi-nude photo shoot. Though she has done plenty of lingerie and bikini shoots over the past few years, this is her most explicit to date.
The 22-year-old is promoting her first photo book, which comes out from Shogakukan on January 31.
In the shoot, which is featured in the January 25 of Flash magazine, she covers her nude body with her arm in a version of the classic tebura (hand bra) pose and also shows off her naked back. In other shots, she is lying wet in water, though her nipples are ...
Netflix continues to persuade Japanese actors and models to strip off.
After getting Kiko Mizuhara to do insanely explicit nude sex scenes in Ride or Die and a whole gang of lovely ladies -- including newcomers and established idols -- to drop their underwear for the two seasons of The Naked Director, they have now got gravure idol Shizuka Nakamura to shed her clothes for a bed scene in the upcoming adultery-themed drama Fishbowl Wives.
Only the trailer has been released so far, so there's no actual nudity on display to keep it YouTube-safe. But the trailer makes it clear that Shizuka ...
Well, it was a long time coming. Throughout 2021, gravure idol Kyouka took more and more of her clothes off, teasing us with the possibility of a nude shoot by showing us her naked butt and plenty of side boob.
She finally rewarded our patience with a nude spread fully showing us her beautiful F-cup breasts.
It's not a full-frontal nude shoot (called "hair nudes" in Japan), but it's still ravishing. The breasts have a stunning shape, just curved and perky enough without losing their heft and bounce. She also has a pale, innocent skin and a slender body (though still with some decent curves ...
An upcoming new Japanese porn performer is rumored to be none other than unpai3 (うんぱい), a TikToker with over 3.5 million followers (not to mention, 200,000+ followers on Twitter).
Unpai is known for her TikTok videos that show off her H-cup bust (though in an ostensibly PG-13 way -- no nipples on display).
As teased on Twitter on December 30, she is to make her JAV debut on S1 No. 1 Style in January. Her one-off 170-minute release (SSIS-312) comes out on DVD on January 25. Sadly, no preview images are yet available.
Several women make their adult video debuts every week ...
Happy New Year. We welcome in the Year of the Tiger by checking out a small sampling of the great tora-themed sexy cosplay posted on social media by Japanese cosplayers, gravure models, porn stars, and more.
We start with an obvious choice: Japan's top cosplayer, Enako, whose contribution looked both busty and cozy.
Former AKB48 idol and lingerie model Haruna Kojima, who seems to be visiting Paris at the moment, made do with a croissant pose and some cat cosplay (albeit it in colors/pattern that was more like a cow than a tiger).
Shibari model Cana achieved an intimacy and warmth with ...
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 ...
Idol-of-the-moment Kazusa Okuyama has released a new digital photo book, Passion, and, judging from the preview images we have seen, it's yet another stunner.
Shot by Tim Gallo, it was released by Weekly Playboy. Okuyama dazzles in purple-pink lingerie and a black dress that shows off her slender legs and alluring back.
The 27-year-old Aoyama native has also just released a new calendar. This digital photo book follows on from her third print photo book (shot by Tomoki Kuwajima), which came out from Shogakukan on September 30. That's three print photo books in as ...
