Just when you thought she couldn't reveal any more, gravure idol and actress Kokone Sasaki (23) has released a new "hair nude" (full-frontal) photo book.
After shooting soft-core porn films and mountains of Gravure shoots, now Kokone has gone that one bit further, following in the footsteps of Rie Miyazawa and other famous full-nude models.
It was shot at summery Shodo Island in the Inland Sea and includes full nude shots of Kokone on the beach and being at one with nature.
Unfortunately we can't find many images online yet so some nice older ones will have to ...
The old favorites are the best.
We are pleased to welcome actress Saki Takaoka back to the big screen.
Now 40 years old and still a stunner, Takaoka will be performing her first nude scene in 17 years in a new film, Monster, to be released in Japan on April 27.
She is well known for her nude scenes in films in the 1990s (like Crest of Betrayal in 1994 -- see the first pic below) and the "hair nude" (full-frontal nude) photo book one, two, three she released in 1995 in her heyday. (Such celebrity "hair nude" photo books were really popular in the mid-1990s.)
She stopped performing ...
Former sweet and innocent Gravure idol Risa (aka Lisa) Goto has graduated to the big time at last.
After a career that began with drink commercials when still a teenager, Risa has since then had an up-and-down professional life, with bits of acting and prematurely retiring at least once.
So far that most spectacular thing was the "hair nude" shoot she did in 2012. This alone raised many an eyebrow for the former cute girl-next-door idol's fans (and no doubt raised a few other body parts as well). We love the mole on her body, just above her bush.
Now she's thrown in her towel on the ...
Miho Kanno, the much-loved actress and model, has announced she is getting married to fellow actor Masato Sakai.
They have apparently only been dating for three months but I guess, with Miho at 35 and he at 39, they know it's now or never!
Miho became famous very young and was also a singer in her early days. She is probably best known in the west for her appearance in the Takeshi Kitano film Dolls and the Mika Ninagawa film Sakuran (in which she appears briefly nude). Her face is a common sight in advertising as well.
She was also, along with Rie Miyazawa, one of the first ...
We're going a little nostalgic with our idol-gazing this week. It's time to feast your eyes on the voluptuous delights of Chieko Shiratori (白鳥 智恵子).
Born in 1975, Chieko was a minor star in the Nineties before she retired for domestic happiness with her husband and child in 2000.
If she still looks anything like these pictures, then you can bet your horses that that's a very happy home ...
This week we take a slow and lingering look at the svelte form of Yoko Kamon (嘉門洋子).
Born in 1980, Yoko Kamon is a model and actress who started appearing in films such as Suicide Club in the Nineties and working as a gravure idol. Her career has slowed down, reducing her mainly to erotic B-movies of late (see example of a nude sex scene below), though she still retains the power to do sexy photo shoots and has kept her cult following.
She also recently became one of those to have dared to do "hair nude" all-nude photos, which are actually much more artistically shot than ...
We love uncovering and sharing with the world the unsung heroines of Japanese ladies!
We often blog about sexy idols but there are plenty of very, very beautiful regular Japanese actresses as well. They don't do gravure style bikini shoots but they still often do nude shoots or very sexy photos. In Japan this isn't seen as degrading or damaging to your acting career, and typically the shoots will be collaborations with famous photographers.
Naoko Watanabe (渡辺奈緒子), born in 1984, is a very attractive actress who, though not a star, has been in several high profile releases, ...
Our last nostalgic idols post was such a hit with the boys that I just had to think of some more.
This time I turned my retro eye to actress and idol Kumiko Takeda. Born in 1968, Kumiko is a voluptuous, well-bosomed lady who starred in plenty of movies and TV dramas throughout the 1980s, along with some ravishingly sexy nude shoots that make today's coquettish AKB48 idols look like children (well, that's because basically they are!). She is famous for her "shell bikini" shoot.
She actually married an American and moved out to the States, thus effectively ending her career in Japan ...
Probably the most famous erotic commercial photographer in Japan is Kishin Shinoyama.
Like Araki he's a bit of an enfant terrible even just recently got into trouble with the police for shooting a nude session with JAV porn star Saori Hara in public.
Typical of Tokyo cop efficiency, the photo book was already long published by the time they realized it included naked photos taken outside at night.
He's known for taking lots of clothed and semi-clothed shots of idols and models, but his mainstream fame was secured by very revealing photo books featuring actresses like Rie ...
Recently Japanese billboards have been dominated by the seductive face of singer Minmi and her latest album, Mother.
As you would expect from the title, Minmi is visibly pregnant. Being pregnant can be sexy, as the likes of Demi Moore have previously shown!
Japanese celebrities, too, have a precedent for this kind of nude maternity photography.
The singer hitomi made headlines for this last year with her own "maternity nude" shoots. She originally posed naked on her Love Life album. When she got pregnant she then had another naked cover for the sequel, Love Life 2, big belly and ...
