Just when you thought she couldn't reveal any more, gravure idol and actress Kokone Sasaki (23) has released a new "hair nude" (full-frontal) photo book. After shooting soft-core porn films and mountains of Gravure shoots, now Kokone has gone that one bit further, following in the footsteps of Rie Miyazawa and other famous full-nude models. It was shot at summery Shodo Island in the Inland Sea and includes full nude shots of Kokone on the beach and being at one with nature.

Then get on down to Paradise TV in Shinjuku in August for Erotica Will Save the World 2013, part of the 24-hour adult telethon organized by adult satellite channel SKY PerfecTV!.

It doesn't go into any context or explore anything properly, just following Tsubomi around Akihabara as she looks at costumes and meets a few fans. There are some short clips from movie shoots. There is quite a funny ...

It's rare for a model to break the conspiracy of silence about any of these. When Miss Japan model Biwon admitted that she had had some work done, there was much shock over the revelations. Plastic surgery is notoriously widespread in Korea but, despite Japanese people's admiration for Korean women's beauty, the "fake" aspect of this is used to denigrate ...

Eriko Sato, the actress who was once also known for very provocative photo shoots Now 31, Sato's career isn't so stellar any more and she is still unmarried. So sensibly she has turned back to her roots and released another photo book of sexy shots for her male fans. With an F-cup bust and so-called "perfect body", the tall Eriko did the shoot in Hawaii -- her first such Gravure-style one in nine years. This is the only image available right now.
