Disgraced gravure idol and now one of AV's top porn stars Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki has joined her fellow porn newcomer Yua Mikami (Momona Kito) for what must be the sexiest photo shoot of the year.
These nude shots, taken for Weekly Playboy in the autumn, really show off both their voluptuous bodies to the full.
What's more, in a more recent subsequent nude photo shoot the two were joined by none other than Mana Sakura, who is already a major star in her own right. There was even a 30-minute video to accompany the "lesbian threesome" shoot. And check out those stunning ...
We reported earlier this year about the AV debut of actress and model Anri Sakaguchi.
To appear in "What a day!!" the 25-year-old Sakaguchi (now going by just "Anri") is reportedly getting paid ¥120 million -- a suspiciously high figure considering she is a B-list celebrity.
She made her JAV debut on the Muteki label, which specializes in these kinds of career switchovers from gravure, music idol or mainstream entertainment. Past successes include with Yua Mikami/Momona Kito and Shoko Takahashi/Takasaki.
Most of these stars, though, do one or just a small number AV releases before ...
The "hair nude" is a curious Japanese-English term. It refers not just to naked flesh; it's naked flesh specifically with genital hair.
What is "shocking" here is the display of pubic hair, the line by which art and entertainment is usually fettered in Japan. It is fine to have plenty of nudity in films and print publications, but to avoid the century-old ambiguous obscenity laws, people censored or did not show actual pubic hair.
The hair nude set out to deliberately show this bush taboo was something to be challenged, both legally and artistically.
While the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki ...
Shoko Takasaki stunned us when she made her porn debut earlier this year as Shoko Takahashi.
Though her switch to AV came because she was mired in a prostitution scandal, her release on the Muteki label was such a roaring success that is going to release a second film on September 1st. "G-cup Perfect Body Celebrity Shoko Takahashi" is being released by Moodyz as part of the AV Open 2016 series.
Takasaki/Takahashi has also been busy with several hair nude (full-frontal nude) shoots, showing off her gorgeous G-cup body for all the world to see.
Some of these are grainy scans, but ...
We got pretty excited when news broke in May that model Haruna Yabuki was releasing a hair nude (full-frontal) photo book shot by Kishin Shinoyama.
Now that the collection -- called simply Haruna -- has hit the shelves, we are pleased that some scans are making the rounds online.
More will surely emerge over the weeks -- and hopefully better quality ones, too. For now, enjoy Haruna's lush thirtysomething body. If she seems too good to be true, remember that her celebrity boyfriend wasn't satisfied and two-timed her with a hostess. She literally found him in bed ...
He may well be an old man now but Kishin Shinoyama still likes to photograph nude bodies, and generate headlines for doing so.
The king of the hair nude recently shot a hair nude photo book with Haruna Yabuki (photos are starting to appear online -- we'll have a post on this soon).
His publications have been bestsellers and he also has mainstream recognition from the art world, too.
His new photography exhibition, "La Maison de rendez-vous", is at Hara Museum of Contemporary Art from September 3 to January 9. That's over 100 days of nude photography, folks.
It features around 60 examples ...
We've always been a fan of the older idols. We find the photo shoots sexier and the woman more alluring.
From Chiharu Komatsu to Naomi Kawashima and Azumi Kawashima, our glory days are the 1990s and early 2000s, especially when the so-called "hair nude" shoots were still at their peak.
Kanako Kojima is one such beauty. Born in 1975, her career height was from around 1997 for a few years as an actress and tarento. Towards the end -- in 2006 -- she released a great hair nude photo book. She also showed off her naked pregnant body.
These days she is in her forties and out of the limelight as ...
Mitsu Dan is no stranger when it comes to nudity and showing us pretty much everything she's got.
Even as she gets older (she's now a ripe 35) and goes more mainstream, she still seems unafraid to shed her clothing.
While he days of appearing in soft-core bondage movies are likely behind her, a recent spread in a weekly magazine featured deliciously nude shots of Mitsu Dan taken over the course of the last 12 months. Her honeypot body is as curvy as ever.
Care to spend a year in her sumptuous ...
The alluring gravure idol and actress Haruna Yabuki (formerly known as Mari Abe) has gone fully nude in a "hair nude" shoot for Golden Week in a weekly tabloid magazine, shot by the famed photographer Kishin Shinoyama.
Though she has done semi-nude shoots before, this is a new step for the 1984-born Yabuki, who has officially now become a jukujo like Manami Hashimoto or Mitsu Dan.
The truth is, Yabuki's career is at a bit of an ebb. She broke up with her idiot celebrity boyfriend after she caught him in bed with a hostess. It's been years since she was releasing photobooks and gracing ...
Not content with launching a porn career on the Muteki label as Momona Kito and already doing one "hair nude" (full frontal) photo shoot, Momona Kito is back with another very nice set of images to tickle our Golden Week vibe.
Formerly of the AKB48 spin-off group SKE48, Momona Kito is just one of many ex-idols who have "graduated" to porn careers.
The Muteki label has snagged some of these and also recently managed to get the porn debut of gravure idol Shoko ...
