A debut and a disappearance. This is a curious tale.
The beautiful gravure idol Shizuku Taiyo (太陽しずく), whose name literally means "drop sun" or "trickle sun," broke into the mainstream with her industry debut in autumn 2019.
She graced the covers of Young King magazine for the September 24 and October 28 editions, and a 15-page spread in the latter. But then the 19-year-old basically vanished.
While it is customary for models and idols to change their professional names (especially ahead of a porn debut) and, in the process, for previous social media channels to be deleted, why ...
People outside Japan have a bad tendency to associate local cuisine exclusively with sushi, which is just plain wrong. But fish loom large, of course -- even in gravure.
Gradol Shihomi Yoshino likes to kinky with raw fish, as we have previously documented on this blog.
If you want to see a naked Japanese woman "dressed" in uncooked fish, then she's the one for you. After all, it's a crowded industry and every idol needs a gimmick to help them stand out. Yoshino describes herself as "between gravure and angling" and she prefers to use dried fish in her work.
She's at it again, this time ...
It was a bit of a shock when Yuka Kuramochi, the top Japanese gravure idol and staple subject matter of this humble blog, announced her marriage to pro gamer Fuudo in later 2019 (after years of secret dating). She went quiet after that and is effectively retired from gravure, instead spending most of her time tweeting about esports and games.
Inevitably, Fuudo did not waste much time in impregnating her -- and who can blame him?
Yuka announced her pregnancy at the end of December and is due in late May.
She recently shared a series of maternity photos on her social media ...
Is the hair nude making a comeback?
Well, the full-frontal nude shoot never went away per se, but it's a rarer species these days. Have gradols become more risk-averse? Where are the mainstream actresses of the 1990s who had big hits with hair nude photo books (like Rie Miyazawa, Miho Kanno, Eri Ishida, or Saki Takaoka)? Many, if not most, such full-frontal shoots these days are published in a weekly tabloid magazine and often as a promo for an upcoming porn debut (like Anri Sakaguchi). The singer KOM_I is a notable, welcome exception to this trend.
But we are pleased to report two new ...
Kana Koizumi is the gift that keeps on giving.
After she quit her gravure agency for unknown reasons, the idol took to her personal Twitter account to promote herself. One way she did this was by making newly provocative videos.
She seriously raised the stakes when she stripped off, revealing her massive breasts. She continued to upload such short nude videos to her Twitter account.
She then moved to YouTube, where she had an active account and made some topless videos where her modesty was nominally censored by precariously positioned images of bananas. Even so, YouTube was less than ...
We promised. We delivered.
After blogging the exciting news that former gravure idol Ruu Yumemi is to make her adult video debut following a sex tape scandal, we then shared the full-frontal nude photos she did to promote the porn release.
And now, finally, we have some preview images to enjoy before the video (MIDE-894) comes out on April 13 from Moodyz.
From the previews, the porn seems to have some fine if unspectacular action. Inevitably, the director has chosen to make a lot out of her breasts, since Ruu Yumemi's I-cup bust is probably her best and most striking asset. (No prize for ...
Formerly known as Tenka Hashimoto (橋本甜歌), Tenchim (てんちむ) is a 27-year-old Chinese-Japanese tarento and model.
She has relaunched her career after more than a decade gracing people's TV screens and magazine pages -- and now she's raising things up a sexy notch (or several).
This has come about due to a scandal in 2020 with "bust-boosting" products she endorsed on her popular YouTube channel, which turned out to be fake -- since she had, in fact, has a boob job. She also admitted to taking marijuana on an overseas holiday.
With her income drying up, she started working last ...
Ahead of her much-anticipated porn debut, busty and curvy former gravure idol Ruu Yumemi has now done a full nude shoot.
After her gradol career stuttered following a sex tape leak scandal, Ruu Yumemi turned to Moodyz and adult video for work. We are among the many looking forward to seeing the results.
As reported by this blog recently, Yumemi's first porn release (MIDE-894) is a 150-minute epic and comes out on April 13. We hope to provide some preview images when they become available.
Known for her incredible I-cup bust and curves, Yumemi debuted in gravure in 2019. She is keeping the ...
The newly freelance gradol Kana Koizumi raised more than a few eyebrows when she put nude videos of herself on her official Twitter account.
Her latest stunt to attract buzz is another social media video.
Koizumi has released a video on her eccentric YouTube channel in which she once again strips off. Since it's YouTube, she couldn't actually show her breasts, so bananas appear onscreen to preserve her modesty (just!) and stop the video from being pulled by the Powers That Be.
She then eats a banana phallically while looking right into the lens of another camera (not the one filming). ...
What ever happened to those original major AKB48 stars after they left the group and got older?
Most have disappeared from the limelight. Some have got married and started families. A select few like Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima have switched into "serious" acting.
For Yuki Kashiwagi, there are still offers for major gravure shoots. She recently graced that cover of Young Jump and a generous 12-page spread inside.
This is impressive considering she is about to turn 30, which basically places her in jukujo MILF territory by the dubious standards of the gravure industry. Most of her peers ...
