Promoting new photo book, Minami Tanaka has naked breasts examined on television for glimpse of nipple

When you are a celebrity in Japan, your body is fair game for TV show commentators. In fact, they may well pull up a photo while you are on the air and spend minutes parsing its details with you. Even to the extent of zooming in on the body parts for glimpses of nudity.

Model and announcer Minami Tanaka is about to release her debut photo book. As part of the promotion, she has launched an Instagram account to fevered expectation.

But perhaps she got more than she bargained for when she appeared on TV and the host ended up trying to see if he could spot her nipple in a particular photo. Now that’s what we call real entertainment.

In this case, the photo in question was a preview image from her upcoming, semi-nude photo book, which seems aimed at Tanaka’s female fans as much as men. Sporting some rather 1980s-style bikini bottoms, Tanaka is turned alluringly to the camera with her naked back and side boob firmly and flauntingly on show.

But can you see any actual nipple?

That’s what the host of Shabekuri 007 really wanted to know — and put his face very close to Tanaka’s breasts on the blown-up print of the photo in order to find out.

Throughout which the charming Tanaka smiled and squirmed in a studio full of men chuckling about her nudity.

Hmm…classy.
