It's the video that launched a thousand imitators (and counting).
Pikotaro's PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) video made "PPAP" one of the buzzwords of the year and inspired a whole meme industry.
No doubt it will blow over in a few weeks' time.
Until them we can enjoy the variations, not least this eye-opening one by gravure idol Jun Amaki.
The busty gal is best known for her "I cup" chest and being a petite 148cm. That's quite a combination. She's also a former member of the masked idols group Kamen Joshi.
She has created a version of Pikotaro's PPAP ...
Japanese TV is not known for its quality but it at least never fails to impress with its latest nude novelties or risque antics.
Now a TV show has appeared featuring gravure idols wearing sexy bikinis. Nothing new about that. There are even shows about gravure idol in armor.
But these are "failed" gravure idols, ladies who haven't made it big (yet). The idea is that the minor idols make their last grasp at fame on the show, wearing everything from noren (the low curtains that hang over entrances in Japan) to toilet paper, kagami mochi (a New Year decorative rice cake) or even lids of ...
Our new lust this month is the model Eriko Sato.
Eriko has posed nude in a butt-revealing series of shots for a new photo book.
First off, this is not the Eriko Sato we already know and love. She's now apparently given up her acting and modeling career for the joys of interracial marriage.
This Eriko Sato (different kanji, by the way) is a 26-year-old race queen and gravure idol who released her first photo book in late October. "Shiriaitai" is all about her butt, and it's easy to see why they went for that theme. The other Eriko Sato never went this far, more's the ...
Former AKB48 idol Satomi Kaneko has joined the growing ranks of idols who have graduated onto "sexier" and more revealing careers.
She has stopped short of doing actual porn yet her new gravure DVD (released on October 21st) is very explicit, full of close-up shots of her shaved you-know-what area.
Netizens are eagerly parsing the images to see if you can see her pussy hair. (You can't, but it's a close thing.)
The 26-year-old with the F-cup left her brief AKB career behind in 2007, since when she has turned to shedding her clothes to maintain an income.
And ...
It's become something of an annual tradition: November 8th is Ii Oppai no Hi (Nice Breasts Day), at least according to the Japanese Twittersphere.
Cue lots of lovely pictures of bust shared by gravure models and AV idols.
Here is porn star Kirara Asuka.
スーブーというエロ写メラマンに『はい朝日を感じて〜📸』『風が味方してるよ〜📸』とかまんまと乗せられて気付いたらノリノリで脱いでた。#いいおっぱいの日 pic.twitter.com/zmF83rVsJ7— 明日花キララ(きいたん) (@asukakiraran) November ...
When so many idols and models are releasing their own new photo book every month, how do you stand out?
Well, the producers of the new Ai Okawa photo book came up with a novel marketing strategy that will certainly take some beating.
It meant you could experience undressing the alluring fashion model with a "bra strap" attached to the reverse of her latest photo book. It allows the enthusiastic male reader to unclip the bra from Ai Okawa's naked back.
And when your Ai Okawa fantasies run dry (as if), you can even use the bra wrapping to practice your girl-undressing ...
Fumi Nikaido has seen her acting career over the past two or three years, though she started off as a junior idol and much of her popularity -- for reasons that are apparent -- still hinges on her natural looks.
Oh, boy, does she know how to exploit them.
She has already shown off her naked butt for us in 2014.
Now the Okinawan-born, English-speaking vixen tempts us by dressing up for Weekly Playboy (as part of a big 50th-anniversary issue) as a bunny girl.
We love how the photo shoot really shows off her curves and saucy looks.
She's a gal who clearly ...
A new series of instant noodle ads use a gravure idol, music idol, go-go dancers, race queen, and well-known seiyuu. What more could you ask for?
Kara-Ou is apparently pretty spicy -- so hot, in fact, that they hired in-demand gravure idol Sayaka Tomaru and music idol Erina Kamiya as well as Karen and Kazue, go-go dancers from CYBERJAPAN DANCERS (yes, the troupe that's perhaps the sexiest thing in Japan right now), race queen Aya Hayase, and voice actress Chiaki Takahashi.
Watch these ladies get hot and sweaty as they gulp down the noodles.
Here is busty Sayaka Tomaru.
And ...
Photographer Yasumasa Yonehara is up to his old tricks again. And boy are we grateful.
We reported on his Runner's Pai series of videos earlier in the summer, which seemed to consist of nothing more than busty gravure idols running on treadmills because... just because.
In July he organized a live music event called NDG Champion Carnival at Shibuya Club Asia, a nightclub located in the heart of Shibuya's "love hotel hill" (very handy, by the way), featuring the likes of Mai Tsukamoto running for all their worth while their assets bounce up and down. Just because.
Yonehara exhorts ...
If you like dancing and you like gravure idols with big breasts, then head to Circus Tokyo on August 10th. The enticingly named N.U.D.E. Vol.1: Our Paradise promises to have six top gravure models manning the DJ booth.
The ladies spinning the beats are: Tsukasa Wachi, Sara Oshino, Rina Hashimoto, Aya Hazumi, Haruka Kai, and Airi Shimizu.
Despite the name of the event, they won't be naked. Still, this is a great opportunity to see a real gravure model up-close and in the flesh.
The ladies will be choosing the music, dancing and "posing", so expect to see some serious cleavage on ...
