Asuka Hanamura returns with second semi-nude photo book
February 28, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Asuka Hanamura (華村あすか) has continued with the wet, semi-nude streak she started in early 2022. Following on from her first photo book, the actress is back with another lingerie and bikini shoot that showcases her slinky body.
The 23-year-old Yamagata native is known for her alluring mole and sun-kissed skin. In her new photo book, which comes out on March 18 from Kodansha, she is seen in the shower holding her hands over her nude chest (a variant on the tebura "hand bra" pose that's a gravure standard), or lying on her front with her naked back on display.
Alright, ...
More highlights from Fumika’s nude photo book
February 17, 2023
/ Tadashi Anahori
Last month, we wrote about the second photo book by the ravishing Amazonian beauty that is Fumika.
As in her previous shoots, the former Miss Japan finalist and University of Tokyo alumni was showing off plenty of her athletic legs and svelte buttocks, while apparently hiding her actual breasts and nipples despite some very wet clothing in some of the shots.
We are pleased to reveal that Fumika has also revealed: the photo book is a proper nude shoot, including full-frontal nudity.
It's a hair nude, then, though you can't actually see any bush. Whether from very careful grooming or ...
Fumika unleashes her naked body (again) with second photo book

Remember Fumika? How could you forget?!
In 2021, she smashed her way into the mainstream of gravure with a photo book shot by acclaimed Hajime Sawatari that showcased her stunning, athletic body -- and as nude as it's possible to be without showing actual nipples or more.
Now she's back with a very welcome second photo book, which comes out February 10 from major publisher Kadokawa. It's again shot by Hajime Sawatari and is also nude, though this time has a kind of "wild nature" theme with 28-year-old Fumika cast adrift, naked, amid the savage beauty of the landscape. It really accentuates ...
Disgraced model Yukina Kinoshita returns with nude photo book

She teased. The mainstream media lapped it up. She delivered. Now the publisher is looking to see the impact on the sales figures.
The former top fashion model Yukina Kinoshita has attempted her comeback with a page straight out of Angelica Michibata's book: when in doubt, take off your clothes.
As we continue to revel in a wave of nostalgia with recent gravure comebacks by the likes of Shizuka Nakamura and Ai Shinozaki -- likewise, nude or semi-nude -- we were intrigued by this slightly different case, in which the model Kinoshita, after being dropped by her agency over the celebrity's ...
Yukina Kinoshita makes comeback with nude photo book

We love a good comeback story.
After some time quietly doing her own thing on YouTube and Instagram, Yukina Kinoshita (木下優樹菜) has returned to the mainstream entertainment world.
As a kind of de facto apology for her recent scandals, the 34-year-old mother of two is releasing a nude photo book.
"CORRECT" is published by Futabasha and released on March 17. It's being publicized heavily as "nude," though the preview images we have seen so far are only semi-nude (in the classic "hand bra" pose, or tebura). We will update with more pictures when they become available. Hopefully this ...
Former Miss Japan beauty contest finalist Fumika goes nude
May 20, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
What happens to the beauty contest finalists who don't quite make it?
Though the winners often go on to carve careers as models and celebrities (and a small minority do more interesting things like become porn stars or appear in sex tapes), what about the almost-rans?
One example is Fumika Mizukusa (水草文香), a 2018 Miss Japan finalist when she was a young 23 years old (and a first-year student at the University of Tokyo, Japan's most prestigious university).
Now Mizukusa is a little older and wiser -- and a lot hotter and willing to exploit that.
Working today under the name Fumika ...
Last week we got a bit overly excited over the prospects of model Angelica Michibata (sister of Jessica) making a comeback (after a nasty scandal involving her husband) with a nude photo book. Sure, she had done semi-nude shoots before but this promised to be a full nude: nipples, breasts, and maybe even bush.
The proof lies in the pudding, and so far the indications are good. We have found some more preview images from Michibata's photo book, Angelica, that comes out in early August from Futabasha. The photographer is Hajime Sawatari, a veteran of such nude shoots.
The 35-year-old biracial ...
Angelica Michibata makes comeback after scandal with fully nude photo book
June 23, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
The fashion model Angelica Michibata has rewarded very patient fans and admirers by showing off her nipples (and perhaps more) at long last.
Michibata will release a new photo book, "Angelica," on August 7 that promises to be fully nude and showcase her stunning body. The shoot was done in a Tokyo studio in early June just after the state of emergency was lifted. The photographer is Hajime Sawatari, a veteran of nude shoots, and the publisher is another big name -- Futabasha.
These are the initially announced preview images.
The news has been greeted with glee by the mainstream ...
Fortysomething actress Kyoko Hasegawa shows off hot body in new photo book
November 18, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
The 41-year-old actress Kyoko Hasegawa has released a new photo book showing off her toned body.
Just as a Flower is shot by Hajime Sawatari, the photographer responsible for many such erotic photo books in the past, including some of the best hair nude shoots.
The shoot this time revels in Hasegawa's healthily tanned skin, her slender body, and her sexy back, butt, and bust. There's no actual nudity per se but this is still damned fine stuff.
Marking her first photo book release in some years (16, to be precise!), Just as a Flower comes out in Japan at the end of November.
The ...
The Naked Director actress Ami Tomite releases new nude photo book
September 25, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Former AKB48 idol and now popular and successful actress Ami Tomite has released a new photo book.
Despite having several quite high-profile acting credits to her name, this is actually only the 25-year-old's second photo book. That being said, it's another "hair nude" full-frontal book, this time shot by photographer Keiko Nomura.
Her first came out in 2016 and was shot by the nude veteran Hajime Sawatari. This new effort is from the long-running Gekkan series and came out on August 30th.
Here are some shots.
These are highlights from her raw and sensual first photo ...
