We recently wrote about Urara Uraraka's new "maternity nude" photo book, citing the precedent for such pregnancy shoots in Japan among celebrities and idols. One of the examples we mentioned was Angelica Michibata, who posed for a fairly modest (technically non-nude) one in 2018.
Now Angelica Michibata is back in the news with reports that she has divorced her husband, whom she married in late 2017 after she fell pregnant.
This is a big deal only because it would seem to bring to an end an unfortunate -- to say the least -- chapter of her life in which her ex-husband was arrested for ...
Like us, you may have noticed that Japanese porn star and stripper Urara Uraraka (うららか麗) had been quieter of late, both in terms of AV releases and her social media output.
In fact, she had retired from adult video and the nominal reason came out on November 3: she's now pregnant, due to give birth very soon.
And she's sensibly capitalizing on her new physical circumstances to make a nude photo book with shots of her pregnant body, which she is selling to fans online. Given how many tattoos she famously has on her body, we can only imagine how hot she now looks while ...
We loved her when she was a braless Uber Eats cyclist, delivering alluring charm around the city. We loved her when she was a ring girl.
We really loved her when she was in sexy lingerie or semi-nude for gravure shoots.
We didn't think we could love Yu Maria (マリア友) anymore, but we were wrong.
The bronze-tanned, big-lipped haafu hottie has now teamed up with renowned shibari master Hajime Kinoko for a Japanese rope bondage photo shoot. And the results are as awesome as you'd expected from such a collaboration and concept.
The shots have a striking red or white theme. Maria's body ...
While the Tokyo Olympics enters its second week, the athletes are apparently not having sex in the Olympics Village.
But that is certainly not the case for Japanese porn stars, who are kept busy in a prodigious industry that pumps out thousands of new releases each year.
In a recent photo shoot, five top Japanese adult video stars posed nude for a "naked Olympics" in which they showed off their athletic prowess (as well as their lovely bodies).
Here is Ayaka Mochizuki doing karate.
The flexible Rui Minagawa displays her gymnastics abilities.
This is Emily (Hikari Sakuraba, Ellen ...
A drugs scandal has spelled the end of many celebrities' careers in Japan. Only a lucky few have managed to crawl back into the limelight and it took a lot of time.
As we blogged in late March, the gyaru model and tarento Yukipoyo (Yuki Kimura) seemed to run into an insurmountable snag in her burgeoning career when her apparent boyfriend was busted for drugs -- with her in attendance.
The Japanese-Filipino recently made a tearful apology on TV and, even more effectively, landed a new promotional gig with a gym chain and launched a photo book with even more provocative shots than before ...
The fashion model and celebrity Marie has stirred up the perennial issue of the casting couch in the Japanese entertainment world.
The 33-year-old, who is half French Canadian and half Japanese, has claimed that she was propositioned when she was 18 by the now-retired comedian Shinsuke Shimada. The encounter is being described as "makura eigyo" (literally, pillow business), the Japanese word for the casting couch. Shimada was then at the height of his fame and the implication no doubt was that sleeping with him would further her own career.
Marie made the allegation on April 4 and then ...
As someone who has cultivated a gyaru "bad girl" persona as a model and celebrity, the fact that Yuki Kimura (aka Yukipoyo) is mixed up in drugs should shock no one.
She started as a model for legendary gyaru fashion magazine egg and also appeared on The Bachelor Japan (Amazon Prime) and then became a regular on TV variety shows. But the Japanese-Filipino's career was almost derailed at the start of the year when it was (belatedly) reported that police in May 2020 had arrested a man she was with -- presumed to be her lover -- on drug charges. Yukipoyo was not charged or detained, but a ...
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 ...
Television first spotted her. The world listened.
Yu Maria, the 27-year-old sexy Uber Eats cyclist courier and model, who rides around the city delivering things with no bra on, is now a genuine gravure star, thanks to the recent issues of magazines Weekly Playboy and FLASH.
And she's taken things further for two photo shoots that are sexier than ever, putting those nipples to good use. Given her Uber Eats credentials, of course she would want to her tits visibly poking through her top.
That's not more. She wants us all to admire her slinky, tanned body, accentuated in these shoots by some ...
Here's another one to add to our long list of haafu (biracial) beauties.
Around this time last year, we got excited about the comely Pamela Asahi. Who's next?
The latest model set for major fame is Naomi Trauden (トラウデン直美), a 21-year-old from Kyoto. With a German father who taught German literature at Kyoto University and a Japanese mother, Naomi certainly has good genes.
She started modeling for CanCam at the age of 13, becoming the magazine's youngest model in the process.
And here's (in our opinion) the best part: she's currently a third-year political science student at ...
