These days Rena Takeda is increasingly forging a career as an actress and model, but the slim and sexy star got her break in gravure -- where the ladies are usually on the bustier side but she won fans aplenty for her slender boy and cute looks.
But Rena Takeda has now announced her "final" gravure shoot, published in the current issue of Weekly Playboy. And she's going out with a bang: a major, splashy spread shot on location in LA over eight days.
The results feature plenty of sun and sand, and show off her very petite body.
Renarena, as she is known to fans, is still ...
We love to browse our ever-growing library of titles by Japanese porn's established stars, but that doesn't mean we don't always have our eyes fixed on the latest debuts and debutants.
One we noticed back in August is the sexy, slinky Marina Asakura (麻倉まりな).
We think -- and hope -- this lady has the star quality that would catapult her to AV fame.
To be accurate, we can find a release from 2017 with the same performer and she already did some magazine shoots before then, but we think she seemed to explode in August when a stunning new DVD came out.
The only ...
Seiyuu (voice actress) Rie Tanaka has stunned the Internet by tweeting preview images from her latest lingerie shoot.
No stranger per se to sexy shoots, this is nonetheless probably the most provocative the 1979-born idol has got as far as we know. Netizens are delighted by what they saw and Tanaka's original post has received thousands of retweets and likes.
We're not sure where or when the final images from the shoot will appear -- a photo book, a weekly magazine? -- but the brief behind-the-scenes footage suggests the photographer was very lucky to get so close to her slinky ...
The immensely popular Japanese gravure idol Nanoka (菜乃花) has hit thirty and released a new photo book. And as she enters another decade, so she arrives at the next stage in her career: one which she is initiating with a nude shoot.
It's not hair nude full-frontal territory (yet), but we do get finally to see Nanoka's ass in all its glory and, as far as we know, it's the most naked Nanoka has ever been.
The photo book, her fourth, "NN" came out in Japan on September 27th. In at least two shots from it, Nanoka is butt naked. We hope to update with more scans and images when they leak ...
As they have progressed steadily into their forties, the members of music band Tokio have become a marginal presence on the pop music charts. Instead, they have established themselves on Japanese television as one of the most popular presenters.
A scandal ripped through the lineup last year, however, when member Tatsuya Yamaguchi was exposed as having invited teenagers to his apartment and, apparently in a drunken state, having kissed one. He resigned from the group and left the entertainment world.
Tokio has soldiered on.
One of the remaining members, Shigeru Joshima, has found solace in ...
One of Japan's top adult video idols, Mion Sonoda, has announced her retirement from the industry in October, ostensibly for reasons of personal health.
AV performers frequently "retire" or "graduate," though this can sometimes just mean they reappear under a new contract with a different agency and production company -- and using a new professional name.
But this time it seems like a genuine retirement and Sonoda has announced the news with a personal message for her fans.
She entered the AV industry at the ripe old age of 19 and has since spent over four years delighting fans with her ...
We already hinted at this last week when we showcased gravure idol Fumika Baba's sex scene in a recent TV drama series, but it's high time we gave her photo shoot for Anan a post of its own. Because it is frigging awesome.
The seriously busty model has burst into the mainstream with her recent acting credits and this latest cover for Anan (issue 2167, September 11th) is likely to cement her reputation.
Man, this is better than most of the shoots that appear in Weekly Playboy and the like.
Anan is nominally a fashion and lifestyle magazine but has a ...
We've had a thing for gravure idol Yumi Asahina for quite a while. We've, ahem, entertained ourselves by parsing her many photo shoots, especially the ones that exploit her ass for all its incredible worth.
She went fully nude for a hair nude photo book last year (her debut photo book) that had a seriously vintage feel.
But the 26-year-old, G-cup Yumi Asahina has also stripped for one of her many image video releases, which includes explicit shots of her amazing breasts and nipples.
In the video, the slinky Yumi also demonstrates how awesome paizuri would be with her bust through some ...
As former NGT8 idol's Maho Yamaguchi cements her recovery from the mistreatment she received at the hands of the group's management with her debut photo book, another ex-AKB group lady is determined to make her mark after graduating.
Previously a member of AKB48 from 2013 to 2017, Nana Owada releases her first photo book, Risutaato (Restart), which came out on September 15 amid a reasonable flush of publicity.
As we reported in August, Nana has chosen the semi-nude style of shoot to make a splash, including the classic tebura "hand bra" shot. In fact, though, the first leaked photos from ...
After her sexual assault and the subsequent scandal that engulfed the NGT48 management in late 2018, Maho Yamaguchi left the idol group under a cloud of trauma and fury. She has, however, decided to return to the entertainment and idol world -- but on her own terms.
As we reported last month, this involves a rather surprisingly provocative photo book. Given her history of assault, you might expect Maho to tone down the sexualization of her image. But it seems she is fine with that as long as she has management she can trust.
To further tantalize fans, now behind-the-scenes footage has ...
