As the Heisei period enters its final months, what better time to look back to... the Showa days!
Clearly there is still something alluring about the 1970s and 1980s, given the way idol Yumi Asahina's recent photo book brilliantly imitated their vintage charms, and the references to these older style of shoots made by Iori and Rukino.
We wanted to take a trip back in time and pick out five examples of Japanese ladies who hit it big back in the 1970s and 1980s. (This isn't actually our first stab at doing this of list. For other examples, check out the selection we made back in ...
When Eightman Production announced the major debut of a new porn star in January 2019 and teased fans that it was a former idol, it didn't take studious netizens long to identify the lady in question.
Though the PR boasted that the lady in question was an idol who has appeared on TV variety shows, released a photo book, and done a stint as a regular gravure idol, the truth did not quite live up to the hype.
Some speculated, without much actual hope, that it might be 19-year-old Manaka Shida, who has just announced her graduation from Keyakizaka46. Now THAT would be a development ...
Who are the hottest haafu models and gravure idols in Japan? That is a question that weighs on our minds a lot of the time. Where else to share our ideas than here with our readers?
To keep things simple, we are going to exclude a lot of people, such as adult video porn actresses and general celebrities, to focus more on gravure idols and some regular fashion models.
We are also skipping the lovely ladies we already included on this earlier list many years ago. So if you don't see your favorite idol, check out the first list -- or place a suggestion in the comments below.
Here is our ...
The gravure idol Yurina Yanagi rewards her legions of male fans by stripping off in the new Japanese film Junpei, Think Again. An image from at least one nude sex in the movie has leaked online.
In it, Yurina Yanagi shows off her breasts as she lies in bed in the embrace of a male lover.
Currently only this blurry shot is available but we hope to update with a better image soon, though we will probably have to wait until the DVD release.
Junpei, Think Again (Junpei, kangaenaose) was released in Japan on September 22nd. It is directed by Toshiyuki Morioka and deals with the ...
A glimpse at the holy grail has slipped through the censors into the public domain.
Gravure idol Yuno Ohara has posed for Weekly Shonen magazine. The 19-year-old former member of Dream5 has an F cup that promises to serve her well in her gravure career.
A few idols strip off for nude shoots when they get older and the job offers dry up. After all, what better than a hair nude shoot to revive a flagging career? It sometimes works wonders. An even smaller number of idols pose nude when they are still young, such as Rie Miyazawa, Miho Kanno, and Chiaki Kuriyama. For this, we are ...
Former AKB48 idol Ayaka Umeda has attempted to further her post-supergroup career with a new photo book -- and one which notches things up a few levels of sexiness.
The 29-year-old, who was also a member of NMB48 and left the AKB world in 2016 after a ten-year stint, has posed semi-nude for an as-yet untitled first photo book scheduled for release this December.
Knowing she is on the cusp of thirty and jukujo territory, it's make or break for her career. As such, she's got her ass out during the shoot -- alluring preview images from which are now spreading like wildfire online. Older ...
All idols are equal, but some idols are more equal than others. There has always been disparity among idols, even when they belong to the same group or to sister groups.
However, producers are frowning at the current sales of a top AKB48 sister group idol's photo book, despite the very strong numbers of recent publications released by members of Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46.
Akari Suda of SKE48 has apologized to fans that her debut photo book, "Kawaiku naru Houhou" (The Way to Become Cute), released in August, has conspicuously failed to sell, despite a print run of 50,000. Three-week ...
Imagine snuggling up to a hot Japanese gravure idol and enjoying an intimate chat in bed together before you sleep.
Famous for her impressive bust, the gravure idol Asuka Kishi provides a glimpse into her bedroom manner with a new YouTube video.
The first in a projected new series called, somewhat inexplicably, Academic Pillow Talk, the video is many, many minutes of Asuka talking in Japanese to the camera (i.e., you) about how much she loves yaki-niku (Korean BBQ). The "conversation" meanders along quietly for the duration of the video, all the time Asuka Kishi lying them in her ...
Known for her alluring body and curvy butt, not to mention a come-hither face that suggests experience, the gravure idol Sayuki Matsumoto has broken some sad news to her many fans.
She updated her personal blog on July 31 to announce that she had officially left her agency. The 32-year-old model is effectively retiring, unless she can land a new agency. But now in her thirties and a mother, her gravure days are arguably behind her and she would have to distinguish herself in some other way to attract a new career.
She made her gravure debut at the young age of 18 and was quite big in the ...
Frequently hailed the best butt in Japan, Yuka Kuramochi has answered our horny prayers and finally dropped her clothes.
Th 26-year-old gravure idol appears in the latest issue of weekly magazine Flash nuder than ever, finally revealing her 100cm-wide ass in all its glory. Yuka sadly stops short of the full monty and doing a hair nude shoot -- unlike singer KOM_I recently -- but it's about as close as you can get.
Each year, Yuka Kuramochi seems to shed more clothes and reveal more of her buttocks. In 2015, she went pretty far. Then in 2016, she went a bit further.
Now she's gone the ...
