Ah, Japanese television. Not the place to go for cutting-edge drama or provocative news stories. But it is the place to go for bizarre shows that tread a fine line between porn and... well, we're not quite sure what.
Case in point is this show called Zennihon Waga Ie no Ofuro Osho (全日本わが家のお風呂大賞, All-Japan Our Bath Grand Prize) on the streaming channel FOD broadcast on March 27th and apparently introducing bathing spots around Japan.
The actual point of this show seems purely to let viewers leer at the body of such ladies as Natsumi Hirajima, who looks frankly ...
After leaving AKB48, Morning Musume, or another related idol group, most performers sadly disappear into obscurity. A rare few establish a mainstream careers in acting or entertainment. A growing number enter adult video. Another subset try to ramp up the sexiness and pose for semi-nude gravure shoots.
Examples of the latter include the alluring Mariya Nagao, delightfully curvy Natsumi Hirajima, Ayaka Umeda, Aika Ota, and Machiko Tezuka.
Now another fine young lady joins their esteemed ranks: Seira Miyazawa, the 25-year-old former member of Nogizaka46, has posed for a Weekly Playboy ...
Aya Kawasaki is one of the slinkiest and most popular gravure idols of the moment. For all her slim charms that she likes to flaunt in lingerie or swimwear, however, Aya still keeps her clothes (just about) on.
And so fans and netizens have to go that extra mile to uncover the 28-year-old's nudity. They have possibly excelled themselves this time.
Aya Kawasaki recently posted a tweet with her 275,000 Twitter followers sharing selfies of her body shot from a low angle that really does justice to her midriff. Like how people were keen to believe in the apparent nip slip of Yuno Ohara last ...
If cosplayer Enako recently dressed up as a "mermaid princess" wasn't enough to excite you, then perhaps this fish porn will?
The gravure idol Shihomi Yoshino has posed for a striking series of selfies in which she barely hides her nude body and F-cup bust underneath some hanging fish. In a bathtub. Now that's what we call sushi.
You won't look at grilled mackerel the same ever again.
The selfie shoot took place in what looks like a small apartment's bathtub -- Shihomi's own, if her social media posts are to be believed.
A novel publicity stunt by the idol ...
Japanese gravure has a new star and she's smart: Serina Fukui (福井セリナ), a sixth-year pharmacy student at the prestigious Keio University who is about to graduate and begin her career this spring. She's off to a great start with this photo shoot from the February 25th issue of Weekly Playboy, which really shows off what people are calling her "dynamite body."
She came to fame when she won a beauty contest at Keio in 2015 and released two "image DVDs" last year. She has also done shoots for many of the major gravure ...
Former AKB48 idol Rina Hirata has released a virtual reality video so hot and revealing that netizens are comparing it to adult video.
The 32-minute digital content "My First VR, My First Me, Rina Hirata" (5497FAPRO00001), from the Prologue series by Fantastica, shows a POV shot of 20-year-old Rina in sensual red lingerie as she sits on a bed with you, the lucky viewer. Replicating the intimate style of hamedori porn, the camera (your "eyes") lingers slowly and lovingly over her bust, curvy stomach, and round butt just an inch or two from the lens. Subtle it ...
Here's further proof, if any was needed, that we should envy famous Japanese comedians. Not only do they lark around on TV and earn big bucks, but they also get to sleep with beautiful women.
Recall Piko Taro, the comedian behind the annoyingly inane yet catchy "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen" song. Well, he married the gorgeous gravure idol Hitomi Yasueda.
And just to make us even more envious, Ayana Kobayashi, the 26-year-old wife of Shinichiro Takiue (of the manzai unit Nagareboshi), has done a stunning semi-nude photo shoot in the latest issue of weekly tabloid Shukan Flash.
Married in 2016 ...
We first reported about the awesome nude scene by gravure idol Yurina Yanagi back in November.
Now that the film Junpei, Think Again has become available online, the full extent of the scene in question has come to light. And if you're one of Yurina Yanagi's thousands of fans, then you're in for a real treat. We made a few screen grabs to share with you all today.
In the sex scene, which appears at around the 43-minute mark, Yurina lies down on a bed while her partner kisses her sweaty, curvy chest and stomach, including a nice close-up of her nipples being licked. Wow, Christmas came ...
We spotted someone share some tosatsu shots with interesting visual results. Apparently this is what happens when you use an infrared camera to take photos secretly of a Japanese girl in a bikini.
The image is, of course, black and white but with her blood vessels "exposed" by the photography. We're not exactly sure about the science behind this, though the visual effect is arresting and, arguably, alluring.
We also don't know who the girl in the bikini is -- if this is a genuine tosatsu, though, she is probably an "amateur" -- but we like what we see.
What do you ...
As the Heisei period enters its final months, what better time to look back to... the Showa days!
Clearly there is still something alluring about the 1970s and 1980s, given the way idol Yumi Asahina's recent photo book brilliantly imitated their vintage charms, and the references to these older style of shoots made by Iori and Rukino.
We wanted to take a trip back in time and pick out five examples of Japanese ladies who hit it big back in the 1970s and 1980s. (This isn't actually our first stab at doing this of list. For other examples, check out the selection we made back in ...
