It took her a while but former SKE48 idol Kanako Hiramatsu (平松可奈子) has finally got herself a solo gravure shoot.
In the December 20 issue of Weekly Playboy, the 30-year-old poses for a sexy spread more than a decade after her debut.
They say that good things are worth waiting for and we think she looks even better than before. The shoot might just have planted the seeds of a gravure comeback. Alternative shots from it will be turned into a digital photo book.
Kanakana was a member of SKE48 from 2008 to 2013. In the years since, she has graduated college and started her ...
The model, singer, and actress Mariya Nishiuchi has made a foray into gravure with a bikini cover shoot for the current issue of Weekly Playboy, which went on sale in Japan on Monday.
As the weather turns well and truly wintry here in Tokyo, it may seem a peculiar choice to have Mariya in a sexy bikini and emerging from the sea, her body dripping. (Where and when did they do the shoot? Given the travel restrictions, surely somewhere in Japan, but it's chilly even down south in Okinawa right now, so it must have been a few weeks ago.) Still, it's got us dreaming of summer -- not to mention ...
We wrote a few weeks ago about the exciting news that music idol Maki Goto is making a comeback (after taking a break to get married and have two kids -- and allegedly having an affair).
The former Morning Musume member has relaunched her music career with live concerts, and is building her profile and fandom again through an active YouTube output.
Even better, she's releasing a photo book, ramus, on November 29 from Kodansha. It's her first in 10 years.
And from the previews we've seen, ramus clearly harks back to her time as a girl-next-door cutie who once did lingerie shoots and a ...
Ex-Nogizaka46 idol Ami Nojo has a sex scene in the second season of the drama The Night I Became a Beast (Watashi ga kemono ni natta yoru), which began streaming on Abema Premium this month.
The 27-year-old was a member of Nogizaka46 from 2011 to 2018, but now focuses on acting.
Fans will be happy about seeing Ami Nojo's nude back and the scenes of her in her underwear, though anyone looking for actual nudity or more explicit scenes of her will go away disappointed. It seems she, or her management, isn't ready to cross that line yet.
The anthology series The Night I Became ...
Fans of former NMB48 (and AKB48) idol Miyuki Watanabe are in for a real treat.
The cute idol, who left NMB48 in 2016, previously delighted us with her lingerie shoot for Peach John in 2020. The year before that, her photo book featured semi-nude shots of her with her arms held against her chest.
This latest photo shoot is a similar kind of semi-nude wonder, with the 28-year-old turned to look alluringly at the camera, her arm covering her modest breasts, and showing off plenty of bare back and leg.
The shoot is for the current (December) issue of fashion and beauty magazine Bijin Hyakka. ...
It's been a long, long wait, but one of our all-time favorites idols is back. Sure, she's older and wiser. Yet boy, does she still look great.
Former Morning Musume idol Maki Goto has been relatively quiet these past years, though launched a YouTube account in April 2020. The content of the videos is mostly pretty banal (trying food, makeup tips, etc.), but it was the first main indication that she was making a comeback. What has she been doing in the time since she left Morning Musume? In 2015, she married and started a family. She now has two children, though she admitted to having had an ...
Former AKB48 member Minami Takahashi, who got married in May 2019 on the first day of the Reiwa era, has revealed that she doesn't like kissing her husband.
This hardly sounds promising for their nuptial bliss, but the reason is pretty understandable.
As the 30-year-old shared with the whole nation on a recently broadcast TV show, Takahashi's husband apparently never brushes his teeth. He would stand at the sink in the bathroom and pretend to brush his teeth, and then even lie to Takahashi when returning to the bedroom (presumably hoping to initiate some intimacy).
And now the inevitable ...
In the latest high-profile infections among celebrities in Japan, Nogizaka46 has announced that two of its members, Kaede Sato and Yuki (or Yuuki) Yoda, have contracted the novel coronavirus.
After a PCR test on August 27 for all the members of the idol group, the 22-year-old and 20-year-old were confirmed to have the virus, though not any symptoms of COVID-19 as of writing.
Yoda (pictured) released a photo book earlier this year.
As we recently reported, other top Japanese idols have contracted the virus, including gradols Jun Amaki and Fumika Baba. Another popular model, Fumina Suzuki, ...
Manatsu Akimoto of Nogizaka46 has released a brand new photo book. Released this week, it shows off more of her body than fans (and perhaps even the creators) might expect -- namely, that she is fully shaved downstairs.
The 26-year-old is pulling down her panties just enough, if you zoom in, to show that she is almost certainly paipan between her lovely legs.
She also looks great prancing around a summery house in what seems to be just a long white shirt, or with her naked body wrapped up in a sheet in the garden.
Akimoto's second solo photo book, "I Want to be Happy" (Shiawase in shitai), ...
If like us you need some distraction from the coronavirus, here are two very fine ones. Namely, the boobs of Nogizaka46 idol Yuki (Yuuki) Yoda, who is releasing a new photo book.
"Mukuchi na Jikan" (Silent Time) features shots of the 19-year-old cutie in the bath, covered in bubbles and showing off her bust. No breasts on display, of course, since this is Nogizaka46, but there is plenty of flesh to admire nonetheless. Her combination of busty chest and slender body is quite something.
"Mukuchi na Jikan" is Yoda's second photo book and came out in Japan yesterday, March ...
