We recently wrote about what we think is Kei Fubuki's first sex scene, which was very welcome in some ways, but disappointing in others (no nipples on display). She continues to branch out into acting but Fubuki remains best known as a gravure idol. That said, she used to do a different job entirely. As she reveals in an interview with the tabloid magazine Friday, she was once a flight attendant! Imagine sitting in economy and this stunner is a member of the flight crew serving you drinks! With such a large (and surely heavy) bust, we're surprised her airline didn't take a cut from ...

The actress and former idol Erina Nakazaki has appeared in what we think is her first nude scene. Best known for her role in the Kamen Rider series, the 31-year-old appeared in Manji Reverse, which came out in Japan in May this year. In the film, she rides a man as he lies helpless in his hospital bed. She is shown climbing on top, taking off her shirt and bra to reveal her breasts, while fucking him slowly in the cowgirl position, gradually getting faster and more turned on. The film is about a love triangle between two men and a woman. It is yet another adaptation of Manji (aka ...

The former gravure idol and one-time political candidate Mari Takahashi has sadly died at the age of 27. Her death was announced on September 9 and reported in the Japanese media today, though she died last week on September 4. A graduate of the prestigious Keio University, Takahashi worked briefly as a gravure idol in around 2020 and also as a TV announcer and at an IT consultancy. She was also a finalist for the Miss Japan beauty contest. She was briefly the official Democratic Party for the People candidate for a seat in a Tokyo constituency in the House of Representatives of Japan ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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: ...

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 ...

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 ...
