When Kasumi Mori posed for Anan magazine earlier in the year, she proved that female Japanese TV newscasters and announcers are just as sexy as gravure and fashion models (for more proof, see Akane Takiyama and Minami Tanaka -- now if only Mayuko Wakuda would go freelance and answer our prayers with a lingerie shoot!), and that Anan magazine remains one of the great producers of sensual shoots (as our summary of a decade of Anan celebrity shoots amply demonstrates).
The freelance announcer is pushing on with her career as a model.
The 28-year-old former TV Tokyo announcer who graduated from ...
At the risk of sounding like a broken record to readers, it's no secret that the real hot ladies in Japan are not the fashion models, the music idols, the gravure idols, or even the adult video stars.
It's the TV announcers. These newsreaders and presenters combine a sophisticated intelligence -- often accrued from graduating from prestigious private colleges like Sophia University, Aoyama Gakuin, or International Christian University -- with a sultry office lady allure. The results are nothing stop of adorable.
And many of them are happy to move into side gigs in fashion modeling or even ...
We've said it before and we'll say it again: the fashion magazine Anan is the place to go for jaw-dropping lingerie photo shoots.
Alright, obviously the gravure weeklies like Friday and Playboy deliver the goods on a regular basis, but Anan makes us sit up and take notice, either because it's a model or celebrity reinventing herself or just simply because of the sheer quality of the photo shoot.
It's been doing it for several years now, establishing a real reputation for sexy shoots with idols and models. Past cover shoots that made a big splash include: Kana Kurashima (2021), Ayaka Miyoshi ...
We recently wrote about Kana Kurashina's incredible semi-nude Anan magazine shoot.
It reminded us yet again what a great magazine it is: nominally a fashion and lifestyle publication for women, it's regular sex-themed issues and provocative cover shoots with established models and female actors have continued to grab attention (and seriously boost the careers of the models) for years now.
Here is a selection of some of the best covers from the past decade, featuring (in publication/chronological order): Kana Kurashima (2021), Ayaka Miyoshi (2020), Fumika Baba (2019), Rio Uchida (2018), ...
We promised. We have delivered.
Kana Kurashina's cover shoot for Anan magazine guaranteed it would be hot when the first images emerged about a week ago. Now we have seen the full shoot and fans of the busty actress will be delighted at the results.
The 33-year-old is shown nude with her large breasts covered by her arms or sporting floral Salute lingerie. The mood of the shoot seems to switch from alluring and sensual to cute and smiling. We would have preferred more emphasis on the former.
Nominally a magazine for women, Anan frequently features semi-nude or lingerie shoots with ...
Here's something that proves yet again that besides the weekly magazines like Playboy and Friday, the women's magazine Anan remains a publication to watch for provocative shoots with established models and actors.
The latest in its long line of such shoots features the actor Kana Kurashina (倉科カナ) doing a great "hand bra" (tebura) pose.
The 33-year-old Kyushu native is well known for her large bust. She is modeling lingerie by Salute in the issue of Anan that goes on sale on September 22 in japan, after which we expect more images will become available. Right now, all we have are the ...
Ayaka Miyoshi is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful actresses and models popular in Japan right now but, with some exceptions, she is rarely seen in overtly sensual or sexy shoots. For the most part, she keeps her clothes on and has settled for a more mainstream appeal.
That has all changed with her jaw-dropping appearance in the September 9 issue of Anan, confirming the magazine's reputation for enhancing models' careers with provocative shoots.
The shoot puts to shame the spreads you find in the tabloids and even gravure magazines like Weekly Playboy. It's what you might expect an AV ...
We already hinted at this last week when we showcased gravure idol Fumika Baba's sex scene in a recent TV drama series, but it's high time we gave her photo shoot for Anan a post of its own. Because it is frigging awesome.
The seriously busty model has burst into the mainstream with her recent acting credits and this latest cover for Anan (issue 2167, September 11th) is likely to cement her reputation.
Man, this is better than most of the shoots that appear in Weekly Playboy and the like.
Anan is nominally a fashion and lifestyle magazine but has a ...
In her latest TV drama series role, busty gravure model Fumika Baba is shown in an AKB48 cosplay costume being sexually assaulted.
In Na mo naki Fukusha Zegen (Nameless Revenger Zegen, 名もなき復讐者 ZEGEN), Baba plays a prostitute who gives sensual massages to her clients before sex. One session when she is dressed up like an AKB48 idol is rougher than expected and she is raped by the client.
While that is certainly rougher sex than the kind we usually like to watch, there's no denying that Fumika looks great in an AKB48 costume.
Based on a novel, the TV series is ...
The annual "sex issue" of Anan has been published since 1989 and achieved significant impact on pop culture.
This month the 2018 sex issue has come out, featuring the male singer Takahiro Nishijima (Nissy) of AAA and creating a lot of buzz as always.
Nishijima poses for a series of erotic, though not actual revealing, shots with a non-Japanese model.
Previous editions of the sex issue featuring famous Japanese male models have also got around the problem of how not to make female readers jealous by using foreign women. For example, there was Tori Matsuzaka in 2014 and You ...
