Shoko Takasaki makes porn debut: first images
May 2, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Following a sex scandal (alleged prostitution!), the gravure idol Shoko Takasaki has made her porn debut on the Muteki AV label, which specializes in porn featuring former idols and actors.
Ahead of her debut as "Shoko Takahashi" (changing her names for legal reasons after she left her previous agency), our voluptuous lady posed semi-nude for some ravishing shots...
Though there was some confusion over the rumors of Takasaki's switch from gravure to porn, the naysayers have been proved wrong and these images reveal what a delight the results appear to be...
Behold some initial ...
The top five open secrets in the Japanese entertainment industry
April 29, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
What are the dark secrets of the entertainment industry in Japan? Here is our subjective list.
1: Sex
Despite the control exerted by talent agencies over idols' private lives (who they can and cannot date, or in the case of some groups, not letting them date or have sex at all), the truth is that there is plenty of sex happening -- it's just not all that pleasant or consensual.
Makura eigyo (sleeping with people to get ahead, like the casting couch) is rampant at many levels of the gravure and idol industry, with female models and entertainers frequently having sex with older male managers ...
Atsuko Maeda strips for shower scene in TV drama, Yuriko’s Barenaked Diary
April 22, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
After steadfastly refusing to go nude for the enticingly titled film Sayonara Kabukicho (though others in the film did and there is at least one awesome, explicit sex scene from a Korean actress), one-time AKB48 idol Atsuko Maeda has instead decided to tempt us with a glimpse of her bathroom body.
Here she is enjoying a shower and then lounging around at home in her underwear, before landing a kiss on her squeeze's lips.
The scene is from the current TBS drama series Yuriko's Barenaked Diary in which Maeda is a reporter (!) who has a rule to juggle ...
Gravure idol Shoko Takasaki to make porn debut in May
April 6, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Known for her perfect body and gorgeous G-cup bust, Shoko Takasaki was until late last year one of the top rising gravure idols in Japan and a potential star in the general entertainment industry.
But the gravure world is a fickle one and idols are sometimes more desperate for money than you might think, plus quickly learn that their looks and bodies are their top advantage in a ruthless industry where management expects to sleep with new talent.
In September, images surfaced that seemed to show her engaging in enjo kosai (compensated dating, a euphemism for prostitution), causing her to ...
Kaoru Hirata shows off body in steamy TV drama sex scenes
March 28, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Japanese television is a pretty tame beast, mostly full of cooking programs and inane comedy shows.
When things do get sexy, they tend to stop at Nanao in her lingerie, which is lovely but hardly the stuff HBO wet dreams are made of.
Back in 2012, Kaoru Hirata appeared in a drama broadcast on the satellite channel BS Japan when she was a sprightly 22.
Okay, so you don't actually see any real nudity but this is still pretty tantalizing.
She also appeared in R-18 Bungakusho Vol.1 Jijyojibaku no Watashi, a slightly adult film where she plays the lead role ...
Hitomi Yasueda shows off her naked butt in new photo book
March 3, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
One of the gravure idols gaining more and more mainstream exposure for reasons that should be obvious, Hitomi Yasueda is known for having a great ass and having an armor fetish.
So we are all really happy that she has now shown off her voluptuous butt to the full in her latest photo book, "Hitomi Shiri" (Hitomi's Butt).
Former race queen Yasueda has a nice D-cup bust and this is also there to tempt us, covered with sand so that her modesty is just about preserved. Cock tease!
The "sandy breasts" remind us of a similar shoot by Seira Sato.
Hopefully some more scans ...
Ex-SKE48 idol Momona Kito goes nude again ahead of new porn releases
February 19, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
Former SKE48 idol Momona Kito had such a hit with her first AV release that she was persuaded to make a full career out of it, releasing more films in 2016.
The one-off release on the Muteki label generated a lot of excitement last year and also placed Kito (performing under the name Yua Mikami) firmly in the growing list of AKB and sister group members who had "graduated" onto careers in Japanese porn, which given the dark side of the idol industry (mafia involvement, managers grooming idols for sex) is not such a leap in a sense.
Momona Kito/Yua Mikami has now posed for some nice hair ...
Yuka Kuramochi strips off for her most naked shoot yet
February 2, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
After coming very close to stripping off and showing us her nude body last year, Yuka Kuramochi has finally done it: taken all her clothes off.
That being said, sadly this isn't a porn debut for the famously big-butted gravure idol nor even a full-frontal hair nude shoot.
But it's the most naked she's ever got and boy, are we glad she did it.
The series of "butt artisan" shots in Weekly Playboy showed us her unclothed ass as well as once again coming close to revealing a fully shaved paipan pussy. Come on, Yuka, you are just one step away from the inevitable ...
Tokyo District Court dismisses management agency suit against idol who dated fan
January 19, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
A triumph at last for basic human rights and fans of idols in Japan.
A 23-year-old female member of an idol group who was sued for around ¥9.9 million (over $80,000) for breach of contract by dating a fan can celebrate -- and her bank account can let out a sigh of relief -- as her former management agency's suit has been dismissed by the Tokyo District Court.
The girl -- unnamed in the media reports -- had made a contract with the company in April 2012 when she was just 19. It contained a clause saying that damages would be sought if she had a relationship with a fan. She started ...
AKB48 Minami Minegishi gets fat, then muscular
January 19, 2016
/ Tadashi Anahori
First she shaved off her hair in a penitence for having sex. Now she is getting fat.
AKB48's Minami Minegishi has gained weight to pose for this "chubby" idol picture.
Why? Because it is a campaign for the luxury fitness gym RIZAP, which runs intensive programs for getting metropolitan people into shape.
Here is Minegishi in her buff form again.
If you live in Tokyo, you would be familiar with RIZAP for the loud advertising trucks they drive around city, depicting before-and-after images of unhealthy bodies transforming into muscular ones.
The gym has ...
