We like it when the legions of idols who pass through the ranks of AKB48 and its sister groups manage to find second careers after graduation. This is actually quite rare, though a lucky few do go on to work as actors, singers, models, tarento, or other types of entertainers.
Now Miyuki Watanabe, formerly of NMB48, has established herself as an underwear model by posing for Peach John.
The shoot has shown off a lot more of her cleavage than we have seen until now, and we like the results, even if Miyuki is far from what we might call busty.
The popular lingerie brand ...
The Japanese government's uninspired response to the coronavirus -- announcing, belatedly, a state of emergency, but carrying out few tests -- may well prove the end of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's long term.
One of the most maligned and mocked initiatives has been Abe's offer to send each household in the country two face masks.
This has been criticized as an "epic fail" due to the ineffectiveness of just two masks, delayed distribution, quality of the masks, and their cost.
But by far the most novel critique and, simultaneously, striking utilization of the masks has come from idol Amo ...
Over the weekend here in Tokyo, temperatures climbed close to 30 degrees Celsius -- a reminder that summer is once again just around the corner and, hopefully, an end to this coronavirus pandemic.
Another, very welcome reminder came from the Instagram account of actress and model Kyoko Fukada, a long-time favorite of this blog, who posted a video of herself surfing and showing off her stunning, toned and tanned bikini body.
Sure, she is wearing bikini bottoms but they have cheekily slipped down to reveal a decent slice of her butt crack. We're not sure when the video was filmed but it was ...
We have long had a crush on Misumi Shiochi (塩地美澄), the curvy jukujo with a gently undulating gravure idol career that emerged from her TV announcer and presenting work (largely for a regional channel in the 2000s).
She only released her first photo book in 2016, when she was already in her thirties.
Now aged 37, the very comely Shiochi has posed for what is surely her sexiest photo shoot yet -- a series of semi-nude pics, released as a digital photo book, that show off her ravishing and alluring body. In Japanese cup sizes, she is apparently a G-cup but we are not wholly convinced. ...
Here at Tokyo Kinky, we consider it our sworn duty to introduce readers to gravure idols who are not only the famous and established names.
It's a busy and competitive industry, and many gradols can frankly slip between the gaps. Here today, gone tomorrow. Careers can burn out before they have even had a chance to glow.
That's why we sometimes turn the spotlight on newbies or more minor names in the industry.
Asako Tani (谷あさこ) is, at least for now, one such example.
Born in 1993 in Kanagawa, Tani is technically a TV announcer (presenter) rather than a fully fledged gradol, but she ...
NMB48's Sae Murase has posed for stunning lingerie shoots featuring the popular idol in various states of undress.
These are all highlights promoting the 23-year-old's new, eagerly awaited photo book "S ga ii" (roughly, I Like to be Sadistic), which was released on April 22. It is Murase's debut photo book and was produced in South Korea.
The slinky lady looks devastating in black or leopard print panties. Her slim waist is so hot it could melt cheese. And man, those pert buttocks are practically clenched tight enough to bite.
Needless to say, these previews have ...
The former Morning Musume idol Asuka Fukuda has posed for a hair nude (full-frontal nude) shoot.
Now 35 years old, Asuka Fukuda's looks have matured from the cute to the alluring, and we like the results very much. She lies down and shows off her naked body including an attractively trimmed bush between her legs.
It's been a while since we saw a major nude debut, so this is a bit exciting in our world.
Though the former Morning Musume star Maki Goto, for instance, posed for semi-nude shoots and even showed off her naked butt, this is apparently the first fully nude shoot by a ...
Have you ever wondered what type of Tenga Cup are you? Which onacup reflects your current mood, personality, or fashion style?
One creative Twitter user took this to the next level: by assigning Tenga Cups to match the different outfits of a woman -- specifically, a music idol.
The classic red "deep throat" onacup is sporty. The white version is a shrine maiden. The Premium Cup is a glitzy outfit. The Rainbow Pride Cup is a bikini. And so on.
There are two versions of the collage that has gone (very slightly) viral: one featuring Mai Chusonji (aka Chanmai) and the other with Kaori ...
Manatsu Akimoto of Nogizaka46 has released a brand new photo book. Released this week, it shows off more of her body than fans (and perhaps even the creators) might expect -- namely, that she is fully shaved downstairs.
The 26-year-old is pulling down her panties just enough, if you zoom in, to show that she is almost certainly paipan between her lovely legs.
She also looks great prancing around a summery house in what seems to be just a long white shirt, or with her naked body wrapped up in a sheet in the garden.
Akimoto's second solo photo book, "I Want to be Happy" (Shiawase in shitai), ...
One of our favorite gravure idols, Yuka Someya, recently appeared in a stunning photo shoot that further cements her comeback on the scene ongoing since last year.
Since she has already done nude shoots -- albeit not actually showing pubic hair to qualify fully as "hair nude" -- what more can Yuka show us? Well, she can tease us, it seems, and do this very well.
For a shoot that ran in the weekly magazine Flash in the February 25th issue (sorry, folks, we're late with this one!), the busty 28-year-old was cast as a sexy housewife and covered her naked body in dripping chocolate.
Now that's ...
