For our final post of 2019, we won't do the usual round-up of the year but instead opt for something a bit more fun: sexy Santa cosplay.
Here is a selection of some of the best Mrs Claus cosplay (a genre known in Japanese as Santacos) by various idols and models, as featured in recent seasonally themed photo shoots or selfies.
First up, here is the gravure idol Tomi (or Toumi).
This is cosplayer and idol Amatsu-sama.
And here is Rina Hashimoto.
AKB48's Yuki Kashiwagi has chosen for the cute rather than sexy look, but that's still fine.
Race queen Yu Kikuchi (top) and model Chiyo ...
Christmas is done and dusted for another year. What better a post-prandial treat than feasting your eyes on the body of gravure idol Aya Kawasaki?
As we blogged before, Aya Kawasaki is one of several high-profile names in gravure who is retiring or stepping back from the limelight of the weekly magazines to some degree.
In Aya's case, it's supposedly a full retirement at the end of the 2019 fiscal year (end of March), which has been massively hyped with major photo shoots and an upcoming photo book. (Most gravure idols, rather, just find their careers fading away, their agencies not ...
Music idol and voice actress Sumire Uesaka has made a sensible decision for the latest stage in her career: show off her bust.
The 28-year-old, former Russian major at Sophia University known for her penchant for Soviet iconography, Uesaka's second photo book "Sumire Iro" came out on December 19th.
Scans have already leaked online, generated a bit of a storm with netizens and fans for upgrading her image from "cute" to decidedly "sexy," courtesy of some nice shots of her until-now-hidden bust. (Not quite true, Uesaka previously exploited her bust to awesome effect in a sexy music video ...
It is a busy season for gradols and model photo books, with everyone hoping to get a nice end-of-year sales bump.
Competing for our yen include photo books by the likes of Misa Eto, Aya Hazuki, and Miyako Sono.
Now the fashion model, YouTuber, and tarento Nicole Fujita has released her debut photo book, "Suki ni naru yo?" (Will you like me?), and has opted for that foolproof strategy: increase sales by taking off your clothes.
It is quite tasteful, mind you.
Nicole Fujita is shown holding her breast as she poses, wet and semi-nude, for the camera.
The 21-year-old ViVi magazine ...
The busty gravure idol (gradol) Aya Hazuki is making something of a comeback with her first solo photo book in nearly five years.
To cement its success (i.e., sales), she has stripped off and, while just about technically preserving her modesty in terms of visible nipples, is essentially nude.
In "Bonn," 28-year-old Aya is practically naked on the very cover, with just some yellow tape covering her tits. In the other preview shots, her amazing breasts are almost bursting out of her clothes or hands...
"Bonn" came out last week at a busy time for the market.
Miyako Sono has gone ...
Japanese TV announcer and model Minami Tanaka is cementing her rise to stardom with the release of her first photo book, "Sincerely yours..."
It flaunts her beauty and, while stopping short of nudity, is sensual and sexy enough to appeal to both female and male fans.
In further proof of this, if any was needed, now there are these shots, taken from her just-released debut photo book, that show off Minami Tanaka's nipples as she poses in a swimming pool.
While not fully exposed, alas, her nipples are still clearly visible under her wet clothes. And what a chest this charming lady has. ...
When you do a photo shoot, be prepared for netizens to do their work once scans or digital versions of the images go online. Industrious fans will use all the tools and software at their disposal to get the results they want.
In this case, a translucent, black dress fetchingly worn by former NMB48 idol Kei Jonishi on the front cover of her new photo book has been brightened to show that the young lady is not wearing any panties while she elegantly knelt in the sea.
While the results are a little artificial, they do expose Kei Jonishi's naked butt cheeks for all the world to see at last. ...
Is this Chinese idol about to give her Japanese counterparts a run for their money?
Ge Jiahui (葛佳慧) was born in 1995 in Nanjing. She was recently featured in a Japanese weekly magazine and here are some highlights from the shoot.
The 24-year-old is now going by the name of Juri (じゅり) in Japan. In addition to her modeling and singing, she is apparently also a student at the prestigious Keio University. She used to be a member of SNH48's Team NII from 2017 to 2019, when she graduated -- hopefully to bigger and better things.
Now this is what we call soft power. Why ...
Another week, another exciting AV debut. This time it is the busty Inori Fukazawa, apparently a former gravure idol, who will release her first porn video on New Year's Day.
Start 2020 off with a bang by watching Inori getting, well, banged.
The 150-minute release (MIFD094) from Moodyz sees Inori getting screwed by a couple of guys. Judging from the preview images, she has two cocks to deal with at one point and at another is sucking a lucky guy off while her face is covered by a serious coating of cum. Now that's what we call celebrating the New Year.
The publicity ...
Holy moly, is there something in the water right now? Do these things come in waves? Because everyone seems to be getting married!
After we blogged about Yuka Kuramochi's marriage to a pro-gamer, three more top gravure stars have announced marriages. As you might expect from ladies whose careers are based on their sexual appeal, they had kept the relationships under wraps.
Jukujo queen Mitsu Dan, now 38, has married 39-year-old manga artist Toru Seino. We wonder if they have fun recreating all the nude shoots and BDSM-inspired sex scenes she has done over the course of her career?
