In a recent photo shoot, Yuki Kashiwagi (Yukirin) has seemingly revealed to her many admirers that she goes paipan downstairs.
The 29-year-old veteran member of AKB48 would seem to be hairless between her legs, either through shaving or waxing.
The photo in question is from the cover of a recent issue of weekly magazine Young Jump, released in Japan on September 10. What a wonder the zoom function is! What treasures it reveals!
In a ten-page cover shoot for the weekly Flash out this week, Kashiwagi looks back on her career in the supergroup.
This month, Yukirin also appears in a ...
There are nip slips and then there are nip slips.
The gravure idol Hikari Hashimoto (橋本ひかり) recently suffered an incident that falls squarely into the latter category.
For reasons known only to the people who devise Japanese television content, the idol was recently doing an interview (filmed live and remotely from her home) for the web channel AbemaTV in which she was supposed to whip off her top to reveal her bikini beneath. Unfortunately (or not), her breasts had come loose from the flimsy bikini top (or bikini-style bra) and her right nipple was firmly and delightfully visible ...
The former AKB48 idol Kira Takahashi (高橋希来) has stripped naked for her first photo book, Twinkle, which comes out locally on September 10. That said, it is not, strictly speaking, a nude photo book, since the naked Takahashi still just about manages to protect her modesty.
She is wearing panties and her breasts are tucked up, squeezed yet hidden by her knees. We get plenty of side book, though.
It's now September and, while humid, Tokyo is arriving at typhoon season. Nonetheless, the photo book brings a splash of late summer, complete with shots of the 19-year-old poolside in wet ...
In the latest high-profile infections among celebrities in Japan, Nogizaka46 has announced that two of its members, Kaede Sato and Yuki (or Yuuki) Yoda, have contracted the novel coronavirus.
After a PCR test on August 27 for all the members of the idol group, the 22-year-old and 20-year-old were confirmed to have the virus, though not any symptoms of COVID-19 as of writing.
Yoda (pictured) released a photo book earlier this year.
As we recently reported, other top Japanese idols have contracted the virus, including gradols Jun Amaki and Fumika Baba. Another popular model, Fumina Suzuki, ...
Detailed detective work on the part of Japanese netizens have identified newbie porn star Sora Minamino (南乃そら) as Miyako Torase (虎瀬美也子), a former member of idol group Oyasumi Sekai.
Torase was active in Oyasumi Sekai from November 2018 to April 2019. If the netizens are right, it would seem that she struggled to find a post-idol career or otherwise specifically chose to enter AV with the right offer.
Sora Minamino released her first adult video title on September 1 with a splashy 149-minute feature (MIDE-812) from Moodyz.
The video, which nominally follows ...
Lesser-known gravure idol Hiroko Kamata has discovered a sure-fire way to boost your popularity in a crowded industry: take off your panties and then cover your pudenda with your hands.
Kamata was once a mainstream celebrity of sorts, hosting a TBS TV show for two years in the late 2000s.
She then branched out into music and releasing DVDs and photo books in the 2010s, but the 30-year-old is now on the look-out for ways to keep her career going by appealing to her thousands of social media followers. In a world of Photoshopped and iPhone-filtered pristine selfies, how do you stand ...
So far, the highest-profile victim of COVID-19 in Japan has been the comedian Ken Shimura.
His death happened fairly early in the pandemic in Japan and since then infection numbers have risen quite a lot as the second wave hits, though deaths have not climbed to a scary rate (yet - touch wood).
As entertainers are continuing to work, filming things and so on, and coming into contact with a lot of people in the process, coronavirus infections are also disproportionately affecting the industry.
In recent days, several high-profile cases have appeared.
In early August, the busty gravure idol ...
A Japanese TV show asked a man what he thought about gravure photo shoots. Nothing strange about this, perhaps, but the details are more unusual.
This man may look like a regular white-collar worker but his younger sisters are anything but: they are gravure idols and he was shown images from their provocative shoots.
The ladies in question are Tomoe Yamanaka (山中知恵) and Mayumi Yamanaka (山中真由美).
The brother laughs uncomfortably. "Yeah, I have mixed feelings about that."
To our shame, we did not know that Tomoe Yamanaka and Mayumi Yamanaka were sisters, though now ...
Former AKB48 idol Natsumi Hirajima is well known and adored for her curvy body, which she has shown off to the world on many occasions.
In her latest provocative tactic, Natsumi (Nacchan) has demonstrated a range of different bras on her new YouTube channel.
In the nearly 16-minute video, Nacchan describes the experience of wearing the various bras, along with showing us how she looks in them. Don't be shy about skipping ahead to the juicy parts.
At the time of writing, the video has almost 30,000 views after just a couple of days.
With large parts of the idol and ...
At the end of last year, we reported on a nude photo book by Aya Hazuki. Though nominally naked, Hazuki stopped short of actual nudity by carefully posed dressing gowns and tape.
Aya Hazuki is not to be confused with Tsubasa Hazuki (葉月つばさ), who has a similar name but is younger.
The other Hazuki has taken things further with her latest shoot, where we finally get to see what she's been keeping under wraps (to be fair, at times barely) throughout her photo shoots so far.
While her generous bust remains hidden, the slinky 22-year-old's cute butt is on fully display. We prefer a bit ...
