Naomi Kawashima, actress and former hair nude model, dies

/ Tadashi Anahori
In general, this is a pretty positive blog. But we sometimes have sad news to relate.
After some weeks of media speculation about her health, the actress Naomi Kawashima has died at the age of 54. She was undertaking an operation to remove bile duct cancer.
Kawashima is also one of the most famous actresses to do a "hair nude" photo-book. Unlike her hair nude peers like Rie Miyazawa and Miho Kanno, Kawashima was already in her thirties at this point and it was a way for her to make a comeback.
She released "WOMAN", shot by Tatsumi Watanabe. This was in 1993, at the height of the hair ...
Ex-SDN48 idol Machiko Tezuka strips again
September 17, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
We swiftly became fans of curvy, sultry Machiko Tezuka when she first stripped off for a hair nude shoot in 2013.
Formerly of SKE48 and now-disbanded SDN48, the J-cup mistress has gone through several name changes: from Machiko Tezuka (her real name) to Ourei Harada (gravure debut) to Eiko Maeda (SKE48 debut), and back to Machiko Tezuka (SDN48 debut).
Now the 1986-born Machiko has stripped off again this year for some more photos. She is promoting a new photo book out in October, hence the motivation to take her clothes off again for the tabloids. Hey, we certainly won't complain about some ...
Mero Imai: Olympic snowboarder, former call girl, nude model, and mother
September 9, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Mero Imai is a woman of many talents: a former snowboard half-pipe Olympic competitor, a one-time hostess and call girl, a nude model, and a bondage slave (photographically, at least).
Born in 1987, Imai has posed for a hair nude shoot for her 2013 photo book "Mellow Style", as well as a series of provocative bondage images for a weekly tabloid.
Alas, the images of the 2013 BDSM-inspired shoot only seem to be online as scans of the magazine.
She revealed in 2012 that after her failure at the 2006 Winter Olympics, she became a ...
Fumi Nikaido strips off for next stage of her career
August 30, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
Fumi Nikaido is a sprightly 20-year-old Okinawan but has already acquired legions of fans.
A child star, she made her debut as a junior idol when 12. She is probably best known overseas for her role in Himizu in 2011.
In addition to her prolific career (starring in several films a year), she posed nude for Weekly Playboy in 2014 and an accompanying photo book. Sadly, it wasn't a full-frontal "hair nude" shoot, though that might even be illegal, given that she was under 20.
No breasts on display yet but give her time...
It was also reported she was dating older actor ...
Japanese women (and porn stars) reveal their pubic hair shaving habits
July 27, 2015
/ Megumi
We were pointed by Twitter user @Genzolico to this survey of Japanese women's "underhair" habits.
Featuring some lovely revealing shots of JAV porn star Iori Kogawa, we feasted our greedy eyes on the pages, taken from Weekly Playboy magazine. The article promises to reveal the "secrets" of Japanese idols, AV stars and amateurs! (The survey itself is with amateurs, though.)
It's not so recent -- dating back to 2013, though we doubt habits have changed that much.
A hundred women aged 16 to 29 were asked what they did with their hair downstairs.
Some 36% trimmed or cut their bush 2-3 times ...
Our groins got excited when we heard the recent news that ex-SKE48 idol Momona Kito was to make her AV debut on the Muteki label in June.
To whet our appetites for "Princess Peach" (all three hours of it) when it gets released, Yua Mikami (aka Momona Kito) has already posed full nude, revealing her lovely body.
These "hair nude" shots are seemingly promo shots for the former idol and were published in the latest issue of weekly tabloid Friday.
Scans have been making their way onto the salivating net.
She has now joined her former SKE48 peer ...
Our slinky idol this week is actress Meibi Yamanouchi.
Born in 1987, Meibi has done some stunning nude shots showing off her nice butt.
She started as a teen idol (junior idol) and then switched tracks to be an actress. She has appeared in the NHK Taiga drama Go: Hime-tachi no Sengoku as well as some minor films. No sex scenes (nureba) yet, as far as we know. Give her time!
While Meibi lacks the fame of some of the other Japanese idols and actresses that we like to feature, we hope that changes in the ...
Aki Mizusawa: the bankrupt 1980s gravure pin-up and actress back in the limelight
April 30, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
What happens after gravure idols hang up their bikinis and try to move on in their careers is a question that fascinates us.
Most crash and burn, but in the meantime manage to find a nice husband in the industry who will take care of them.
The tale of Aki Mizusawa is an interesting one.
Born in 1959, she was a gravure pin-up during the 1980s.
In between winning the hearts of men around the nation, she found time to have an affair with Jackie Chan, a well-known philanderer, in Spain in 1984.
She was also working as a singer during this time.
She sealed her sex siren reputation by ...
When we showcase the wonders of Japanese idols, models and actresses, we don't just focus on the girls of the moment. We also like to look back at the ladies from yesteryear. Some of the style of the photos might be old but the beauty is timeless.
Our idol this week is Azumi Kawashima, who was born in 1979 and is a former adult video starlet and model no stranger to full hair nude shoots, as these opulent images reveal...
She retired a few years ago, after a career of porn, B-movies and photo books in the late 1990's to early 2000's. The good news is that Azumi is still only in her ...
Japanese professional wrestler idols: Female bodybuilder fetish
October 31, 2014
/ Tadashi Anahori
As in many countries, Japan has a small but significant female professional wrestler scene. These women are regarded as sex symbols by many, so much so that these strong ladies are invited to pose naked for Gravure or hair nude shoots.
Some of these are delightfully lesbian in tone! Two muscular ladies in each other's arms.
This is Kayo Noumi.
And Hikari Fukuoka.
A tied-up Takako Inoue.
And Michiko Omukai.
And there is also JAV porn too, like "Japanese Muscular Beauty Body Builder Aoi Kirishima" from ...
