Earlier in the week, we sang the praises of TV announcer Kasumi Mori, loving her sultry looks and intelligence. Now comes the gravure debut of someone who definitely has brains. Asa Kamiya (神谷明采) has done her first swimwear gravure shoot, which appears in the current issue (December 22) of Weekly Friday. Has Christmas come early this year? She is a fourth-year student in the economics faculty at the University of Tokyo, regarded as the most elite college in Japan. She won the Miss Todai beauty contest in 2020 and was Miss of Miss 2021, essentially crowning her as the most ...

Regular readers might remember Ayana Kobayashi, whose stunning gravure shoot we wrote about in 2019. It was notable because she did an alluring nude shoot with her butt and nipples on display despite being married (to a comedian). She has since released a couple of DVDs. It's perhaps because she's a bit of an outsider -- someone who came to mainstream gravure a bit late and already married with a child -- that she's freer to say certain things. Now in her early thirties, Kobayashi recently made headlines with a blog entry in which she described her own experience with sexual ...

The model, occasional actress, and former AKB48 music idol Mariya Nagao continues to get more alluring the older she gets. Slinky. Cheeky. Sexy. Mariya-chan has got it all in abundance. On the verge of 30 (she hits that magic number in March next year), she has thankfully not gone the way of most AKB idols and disappeared into the ether, but still fields regular invites to do gravure photo shoots, model jaw-dropping lingerie, and publish photo books. In recent months, she has been in the gossip columns because the tabloids found out that she has a boyfriend who is a former host. In early ...

Slinky sexplot Kanami Takasaki is to release her second, hotly anticipated photo book. Blooming Bud comes out on January 25, 2024, from Transworld Japan, which specializes in publishing idol books and calendars. It features Takasaki, who is known for her girl-next-door looks, in a more alluring, sensual style, including a cover image where she is posing naked at the sea, holding up a sheer piece of fabric. As the title of the book suggests, 26-year-old Takasaki is possible entering a more mature stage in her career. Blooming Bud has a beach theme and was shot in Hawaii. To promote it, ...

We are pleased to see that the impossibly sexy and cute gravure idol and actress Yuno Ohara is to release a new photo book. The as-yet untitled photo book comes out on January 31 next year. It marks her third photo book, with her debut release released back in 2018. Three preview images are available at the moment, with more sure to come in the near future. Yuno Ohara is no stranger to these digital pages. We previous covered her (non-nude) sex scenes in drama series Sweat and Soap last year and The Young Boys with Secrets earlier this year. The 24-year-old also did a hot shoot for ...

Long-running gravure magazine Weekly Playboy is celebrating its 57th anniversary with a photo shoot featuring the titular number of up-and-coming gradols. The 57 nubile ladies appeared in white swimsuits in a classroom and other settings in the ambitious photo shoot. Most of the idols are lesser-known names just starting out on their careers. There is also an accompanying video showing some behind-the-scenes footage. The "Nippon gravure" shoot, which was done by veteran gradol photographer Luckman, is published over 16 pages of the November 13, 2023, issue, which has Hina ...

The former gravure idol Shizuha Takimoto (瀧本雫葉) is making her adult video debut. The gorgeous, pale-skinned beauty's first porn production comes out via Prestige's Genesis label on November 24. In addition to the 230-minute release (CTKTGNI-002), the 24-year-old has also just released her first nude photo book in mid-September as a Kindle and on-demand paperback. If we are honest, we never knew who she was, which left us wondering if her gravure career was very obscure or she worked as a gradol under a totally different name. It seems that most of the internet ...

Yesterday, we wrote about that eternal singleton who never stops being cute, the 40-year-old Sayaka Isoyama, who has just released a new photo book. Now we have yet another piece of evidence to back up what we wrote last week when speculating about Tomomi Morisaki's rumored pregnancy and preparations for marriage: that the majority of celebrity marriages in Japan are shotgun weddings. The actress and model Kyoko Hinami has announced she is pregnant and married. The 29-year-old made the announcement via social media on October 23. Hinami made her debut as a model in 2006, when she was ...

When top gravure idol Tomomi Morisaki announced her long-rumored retirement, there was speculation about the exact reasons. Was she leaving the entertainment industry for good? Now that she was in her thirties, was she just quitting while she was ahead and before the glamor model offers dried up? Did she want to focus on her general TV celebrity gigs? It seems that the answer was that classic Japanese entertainer one: romance and a family. Now, just before the release of her retirement DVD and Blu-ray, comes news reports that the hottie is "seriously dating" a baseball player, Shota ...

This completely passed us by at the time but thanks to the diligent efforts of Nude Asian Film on Twitter/X to chronicle movie scenes, we realized that gravure idol Yuki Kiyose had done a nude scene. She appears in the low-budget film Gekkako, which was released in Japan in 2022. It is about Ami, played by Yuki Kiyose, who has an affair with a married painter. It's a full nude scene, but sadly not a sex scene. Rather than showing Yuki Kiyose in action with a lover, it has her posing completely nude for a painting. Still, her body is as slim yet curvy as you would expect from a gravure ...
