The tebura or "hand bra" is a frequent trope in gravure. What can be more alluring, it seems, than an idol or model covering her breasts with just her bare hands?
Recent examples include Rola and Minami Minegishi.
It has become something of a rite of passage for AKB-kei alumni, not least Minegishi, Haruna Kojima, Yuko Oshima, Kei Jonishi.
It can also get them into trouble, though, as the lesson of Tomomi Kasai notably shows. Her post-AKB career never recovered.
The latest idol to try her luck with this tactic is Ayaka Umeda, formerly of AKB48 and NMB48. However, her tebura shot, published ...
When Eightman Production announced the major debut of a new porn star in January 2019 and teased fans that it was a former idol, it didn't take studious netizens long to identify the lady in question.
Though the PR boasted that the lady in question was an idol who has appeared on TV variety shows, released a photo book, and done a stint as a regular gravure idol, the truth did not quite live up to the hype.
Some speculated, without much actual hope, that it might be 19-year-old Manaka Shida, who has just announced her graduation from Keyakizaka46. Now THAT would be a development ...
Who are the hottest haafu models and gravure idols in Japan? That is a question that weighs on our minds a lot of the time. Where else to share our ideas than here with our readers?
To keep things simple, we are going to exclude a lot of people, such as adult video porn actresses and general celebrities, to focus more on gravure idols and some regular fashion models.
We are also skipping the lovely ladies we already included on this earlier list many years ago. So if you don't see your favorite idol, check out the first list -- or place a suggestion in the comments below.
Here is our ...
While it is sometimes regarded as a problematic appellation, "haafu" (half Japanese, half something else) are generally considered exotic and glamorous in Japan and, as such, command prestigious positions in fashion, entertainment, acting, and other walks of life.
Not surprisingly, then, there are also a few fair haafu gravure idols and even some in Japanese adult video. The most famous, of course, was Maria Ozawa, but the likes of the mononymous Sarah and Michelle Takizawa are also up there among the most popular ladies.
Now there may be a new arrival to give them a run for their ...
Let's put the "video" back into adult video. Sure, we love all the current and recent Japanese porn stars, but let's take a trip back a few more years to remember some of the stars of yesterday, long before there was streaming or even DVDs.
We previously looked at a list of AV stars from the 1990s and 2000s that Japanese men now in their forties remember fondly. Adding to this, here are seven retired porn stars that deserve to go down in history.
Before the comments start filling up with anger and fury, rest assured we're not saying that these ladies are the only ex-AV idols worth ...
A glimpse at the holy grail has slipped through the censors into the public domain.
Gravure idol Yuno Ohara has posed for Weekly Shonen magazine. The 19-year-old former member of Dream5 has an F cup that promises to serve her well in her gravure career.
A few idols strip off for nude shoots when they get older and the job offers dry up. After all, what better than a hair nude shoot to revive a flagging career? It sometimes works wonders. An even smaller number of idols pose nude when they are still young, such as Rie Miyazawa, Miho Kanno, and Chiaki Kuriyama. For this, we are ...
Netizens have "exposed" a female Japanese YouTuber for previously appearing in adult video releases.
YouTuber Asuka is famous for making videos about pachinko on her channel Asuka no Pachiheya (Asuka's Pachinko Room, あすかのパチ部屋). While not a huge name compared to the major YouTuber celebrities, her videos nonetheless regularly attract tens of thousands of views, and some have achieved as many as several hundred thousand or even half a million views. She officially joined YouTube with her channel in August this year and has clocked over 5.5 million views.
She is a ...
Every month in Japanese adult video brings many new porn debuts (shinjin). In October alone, we've spotted debuts from the svelte Mari Sano (佐野まり), 42-year-old jukujo mother (with milky breasts) Miyuki Nishino (西野美幸), the sporty Mana Tsuchiya (土谷まな), college girl Hinami-chan (ひなみちゃん), and Chihiro Konoha (木葉ちひろ). The latter two are purported to be a mere 20 years old, like Ichika Hoshimiya, who also released her own impressive first AV title this month.
How is an avid AV fan meant to keep up? And that's just the major debuts, let alone all the ...
Former AKB48 idol Ayaka Umeda has attempted to further her post-supergroup career with a new photo book -- and one which notches things up a few levels of sexiness.
The 29-year-old, who was also a member of NMB48 and left the AKB world in 2016 after a ten-year stint, has posed semi-nude for an as-yet untitled first photo book scheduled for release this December.
Knowing she is on the cusp of thirty and jukujo territory, it's make or break for her career. As such, she's got her ass out during the shoot -- alluring preview images from which are now spreading like wildfire online. Older ...
Ichika Hoshimiya is a 20-year-old college student, if you believe the marketing, born in June 1998. Whatever the exact truth of the details, one thing is certain: she is drop-dead gorgeous.
With a slender body and the face of a tender beauty who could be presenting the TV news, Ichika has star material written all over her.
He first porn release (SSNI00332) comes out this week on October 19th from S1 No.1 Style, who also produced the stunning AV debut of Shion Yumi.
Hoshimiya's inaugural porn runs to 171 minutes, which is a heck of a lot longer than most people can manage in a ...
