It's the usual story. An idol hits 30 and her career is on the verge of waning. What can she do to raise the ante? Oh, right: strip off.
And so it goes that Shoko Hamada has revealed her cute butt to us at the ripe old age of 30.
The former race queen, gravure idol and so-time music idol (yes, we all remember that classic from 2004, "Lolita Race Queen") has dropped her clothes for a photo shoot, and the results are petty fine.
Sure, her butt's a bit flat -- this is Japan, after all -- but it has grab-me-now charm.
Of course, all this flesh is ...
BuzzFeed Japan asked some of the top gravure idols to come into the studio and spill some home truths for them.
Each gravure idol was asked to pose with a notepad telling us what their life was really life.
Here is Nanoka, saying "Life is simple." Apparently she spends her days off just sitting around at home.
Rina Hashimoto dispels one of the myths of her job. "I don't enjoy the locations." While it might seem like paradise to fly to Hawaii or other exotic locations for photo shoots, the reality of the job is apparently less glamorous. You spend all day shooting from morning till night, ...
Shoko Takasaki stunned us when she made her porn debut earlier this year as Shoko Takahashi.
Though her switch to AV came because she was mired in a prostitution scandal, her release on the Muteki label was such a roaring success that is going to release a second film on September 1st. "G-cup Perfect Body Celebrity Shoko Takahashi" is being released by Moodyz as part of the AV Open 2016 series.
Takasaki/Takahashi has also been busy with several hair nude (full-frontal nude) shoots, showing off her gorgeous G-cup body for all the world to see.
Some of these are grainy scans, but ...
We got pretty excited when news broke in May that model Haruna Yabuki was releasing a hair nude photo book by Kishin Shinoyama.
Now that the collection -- called simply "Haruna" -- has hit the shelves, we are pleased that some scans are making the rounds online.
More will surely emerge over the weeks -- and hopefully better quality ones, too. For now, enjoy Haruna's lush thirty-something body. If she seems too good to be true, remember that her celebrity boyfriend wasn't satisfied and two-timed her with a hostess. She literally found him in bed ...
Japanese porn star Nozomi Aso has been arrested on drug charges, according to the July 21st Shukan Jitsuwa weekly tabloid that went on sale today.
The 27-year-old AV star is a graduate of Senshu University and made her debut in 2012. She left Soft on Demand in 2014 and then joined MAXING. Since then she has switched again to chacha promotion. She appeared in many releases in 2015 and 2016. One of her films from December last year was aptly called "Fucking Machine Sex Nozomi Aso". As well as enjoying commercial success in Japan, the slender actress with a G-cup is also popular in China. She ...
Sometimes it can be hard to hold back. You see a hot girl in close proximity and you may have to force yourself not to try to grope her. Being under the influence of alcohol doesn't help either.
What if this was a sultry gravure model?!
But it it's okay if it's a professional, right? This "bust booster" expert has helped 30,000 women increase their bust size by massage techniques. She demonstrated this on Japanese television with gravure model Anna Konno, whose breasts are already more than impressive.
In other words, Anna Konno had her F-cup breasts groped on TV for the benefit of ...
What's better than one gravure idol? Fifty gravure idols!
In June, Weekly Playboy brought together fifty of Japan's top scantily clad bikini models for what must surely be the photo shoot of the year.
How many do you recognise? Many of the hottest gravure ladies are present and correct, including Yuka Kuramochi, Nanoka, Saya Kataoka, Saki Suzuki, Hikaru Aoyama, Hitomi Yasueda, Miko Terada, Aya Hazuki, Rin Tachibana, Yuka Someya, Iroha Yanagi, Ayuka Terada, Ikumi Hisamatsu, Rina Toeda, Fumina Suzuki, and more.
We've included a sampling of the resulting shoot. You can really see the range ...
The Japanese cosplay world was in shock on June 29th when one of the most up-and-coming cosplayers, Nekomu Otogi, announced her surprise marriage at the age of just 20.
Not only that, her new husband is a mangaka. And 31 years her senior! Yes, Kosuke Fujishima is one lucky, lucky guy.
Oh, and she's pregnant. Yes, this is the classic dekichatta kekkon, or shotgun wedding. Don't worry, Nekomu, you are in fine company -- everyone from Meisa Kuroki to Eriko Satoh.
But seriously, is this even legal? Apparently Fujishima, best known as the creator of Oh My Goddess!, ...
Back when Mariya Nagao was one of the members of AKB48, we already took something of a liking to her.
But it is since leaving the (faltering) group that she has shined, stripping off to reveal her perfect bikini butt and body.
As we have discussed before, Japanese TV is a tame entity, though livened up by the occasional scene of Nanao in lingerie.
Nagao was recently gracing Japanese television screens to show us what it is like to kiss her in a swimming pool. Naturally, Nagao was wearing slinky swimwear.
The 22-year-old was kissed by Popteen model Koji Konishi on the aptly named ...
Remember Yasumasa Yonehara? Super big a few years ago, he's the instantly recognisable bald Japanese photographer with that habit of taking slutty pictures of slutty girls in hotel rooms. What a guy.
Yes, he's one of those people who just proves that if you are cocky enough and say you are a photographer, you can apparently get almost any woman to pose for you.
Perhaps that's why half the male foreigners we seem to meet in Japan claim to be photographers (the other half claim to be DJs).
Yonehara has now turned his attention to swimwear. After all, it is summer.
We have no ...
