Weekly Playboy and three top gravure idols team up for T-shirt series
September 4, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Weekly Playboy has collaborated with three of the hottest gravure idols of the moment for a lineup of T-shirts produced by sneaker brand KIKS TYO.
The resulting photo shoots are a kind of face-off between the trio. Who looks the best with sneakers hanging from their body?
Here's delightful Cocoro Toyoshima, available in pink or blue sneaker versions.
And here's comely Ina Enohara.
And finally, this is the lovely Yuzuha Hongo.
If you wanted to get your chance on the Cocoro Toyoshima T-shirts (available in white or black and various sizes), you're probably out of luck. ...
Sayaka Nitori goes nude for second photo book, shows off breasts
August 20, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
The impossibly slinky and sexy Japanese gravure idol Sayaka Nitori has just released her second photo book.
Shot in Guam and released on July 30 from major publisher Kadokawa, Colon follows the highly successful Ribbon, which came out in 2022 (also from Kadokawa), and we are pleased to report that it's properly nude this time.
After teasing us for too long with semi-nude shoots that showed off her naked butt or her body but only under sheer or wet clothing, Colon drops the pretense and lets us see Sayaka's breasts in all their G-cup glory.
Here are some highlights that display her ...
Yumi Asahina gets hotter in her thirties
July 10, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
It's been years since we last wrote about slinky Yumi Asahina.
Once thought to have one of the best asses in gravure, she seemed to reach a career peak in the late 2010s with a stunning hair nude full-frontal shoot.
There didn't seem much else for her to go, and so she continued to do more nude releases.
Well, despite her absence from these digital pages, we now belatedly realize that she has been a busy bee, releasing over a dozen image videos since 2022 (with the most recent coming out just last month).
She is now 32 -- ripe jukujo territory -- and less likely to get a spot in the ...
Biru Otsuka hair nude shoot harks back to heyday of full-frontal nudity
July 4, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
There was a wondrous time back in the 1990s and early 2000s when the hair nude (full-frontal nude shoot) was commonplace. Hardly a week went by without another female celebrity shedding her clothes and trying to get in on the action, from newbies to more established stars, all trying to emulate the incredible success of photo books like Santa Fe with Rie Miyazawa.
Today, though adult video stars of course commonly do hair nude shoots, the genre has faded and it's very rare for models and actresses, much less big mainstream stars, to do a hair nude.
Which is why we are so pleased when we do ...
Saori Yamamoto’s post-gravure highs and lows
July 3, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Yesterday, we wrote about the backlash Yua Mikami has faced as she tries to move beyond her former porn career and establish herself as a mainstream fashion brand producer.
The "afterlives" of gravure and JAV idols is a perennial topic on this blog, as regular readers will know.
What happens to those lovely ladies after they disappear from our lives? Mikami enjoyed a hugely successful career and her retirement from AV was fully planned, but most idols just fade away with a whimper, pushed out in a highly competitive market. And which means we rarely get to hear what they do next. (Spoiler: ...
Chubby gravure model Mai Nishida slims down for gym promo campaign
June 18, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Rizap is a chain of gyms in Japan that specializes in quick-fix training services that promise to slim you down in short periods of time.
It often advertises its services with before-and-after shots of celebrities' bodies.
Previous examples include AKB48's Minami Minegishi looking a little overweight and then athletic and toned.
Other examples of brand ambassadors include 56-year-old Eri Ishida and post-scandal Yukipoyo.
The latest is gravure model Mai Nishida. Once a regular feature in gravure magazines, Nishida is now 35 years old and has disappeared from our lives.
And so it was a ...
Gravure idol Miyu Murashima apologizes for affair with married basketball player
June 13, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
One of Japan's current leading gravure idols, Miyu Murashima, has issued an apology after news broke that she has been having an affair with a married man.
It came to light that the 25-year-old model has been seeing married Yuma Fujii, following a report on June 12 by the tabloid Bunshun.
The 32-year-old Fujii is a professional basketball player who once played on the national team.
Of course, it takes two to tango, and the man is surely as much to blame, if not more so than Murashima.
There are two issues here.
While not as severely policed as with music idols, where dating is ...
Gravure idol Fumika sex scenes in Seaside Lover
June 5, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
Seaside Lover (海辺の恋人, Umibe no koibito) came out last year in Japan and stars the gorgeous model Fumika in the title role.
It was rated R15 and was promoted as an erotic film and has some nice sex scenes, but we're not sure if there's any or much actual nudity. (We will update as we work our way through the movie, which is available on various streaming platforms in Japan.)
Images from the scenes were shared by the always-reliable Nude Asian Films account on Twitter/X, showing Fumika's two sex scenes that are definitely hot but carefully positioned hands and camera angles prevent ...
First pics of L-cup gravure idol Yu Tano’s porn debut
May 16, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
On Monday, we wrote about the upcoming porn debut of L-cup gravure idol Yu Tano, and it got a stronger-than-expected reaction from readers.
Well, if you liked the initial news, you're going to love the first preview pics of the 20-year-old's debut AV, which show off her naked body -- and especially those amazing bakunyu tits.
Coming out from top studio S1 No. 1 Style, the release date is now confirmed as June 7 for streaming. The AV is 154 minutes and the code is SONE00221, so search for it next month if you want to check it out. And anyone with a pulse will surely want to.
Her knockers ...
L-cup gravure idol Yu Tano to make porn debut
May 13, 2024
/ Tadashi Anahori
She only made her gravure debut in January, but busty idol Yu Tano (田野憂) has already made the switch to adult video.
The 20-year-old newbie with L-cup breasts will make her porn debut with S1 No. 1 Style, much like gradol Chika Yuki did last autumn.
Details are still slim about the release -- not least, when it will come out -- but Yu Tano made the announcement on social media last week and it has been confirmed by S1.
The announcement has sent her digital photo book shooting to the stop of the charts.
If you are into bakunyu mega-busty AV performers like Hitomi Tanaka, then ...
