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. ...
Gravure idol Fumina Suzuki is marking 15 years of her career as a glamor model with a new photo book and a shoot that shows she's still got it.
Fly High comes out September 5 from Genkosha and revels in the busty gradol's gorgeous boobs and curves. She hasn't done anything new per se (don't expect nudity here!) but we love all the side boob and underboob on display.
This isn't a comeback because Fumina Suzuki (thankfully) never went away. She has continued to work in gravure (we loved her five-idol shoot with a postpartum Yuka Kuramochi) and her most recent photo book was also not ...
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 not the first time that we have showcased the gravure idol Yoko Kumada, for whom age, marriage, divorce, and motherhood are no obstacle when it comes to continuing her career. But you can't have too much of a good thing.
Now aged 42, the mother of three is releasing yet another image DVD that puts her svelte and slender body on full display.
Yoko Kumada gets better like a fine wine: sure, her skin is perhaps a bit more stretched now, but she clearly still has thousands of admirers -- and it's easy to see why.
The latest release -- which comes out on July 31 -- is apparently her 74th ...
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 ...
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: ...
We love a good comeback story at Tokyo Kinky. Just a few days ago, we posted ravishing images of Rina Koike's first photo book in eight years and which marks the veteran idol's 30th birthday.
Today, it's the turn of Rei Toda, who has made a gravure comeback with a sensual shoot for the June 17 issue of Weekly Playboy and an accompanying digital photo book.
Now aged 37, Rei Toda is in the heartland of jukujo territory, but hasn't let herself go at all. She still has a slender and alluring body, and a knowing face. She's definitely seen some action over the years.
We love how hot she ...
What do gravure idols, porn stars, music idols, and models do after they are famous? It is a question that preoccupies us a fair bit on this blog.
Some open small businesses -- and the savvy former stars choose ventures that trade on their fandom and existing networks.
Former SKE48 member Machiko Tezuka is now 38 years old and firmly into sexy jukujo "older woman" territory.
She opened a kind of "gravure cafe" in Akihabara in 2015 in which gradols talk to customers at a table and entertain them in swimwear. Highlights on the menu included "tit squeeze pancake" for ¥1,500, which ...
Back in May, we reported on gravure veteran Rina Koike's photo book marking her 30th birthday and two decades in the industry.
Having begun her career as a child actor and junior idol, Rina Koike is someone who seems to have been around throughout all the many, many years we have done this blog.
Things had been quiet for her in recent years (so much so that we assumed she had retired) but she has switched agencies and her new photo book (and reaching that milestone) has led to a flurry of attention.
More preview pics from the her upcoming photo book, crave, have appeared in the gravure ...
In today's social media–driven world, it can feel like a new meme and "enjo" scandal appear every day to rage-bait us into clicks and views.
One of the more recent examples in Japan was a video in January of a hostess and a client at an expensive sushi restaurant, arguing with the owner about their order. It ended with the hostess and client (who was the one filming the video) leaving the restaurant and staff having to hold back the owner from attempting a physical assault.
So much for omotenashi.
The trouble between the owner and the couple apparently arose because the client was ...
