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 ...
It's turning out to be a good summer for gravure idol photo books.
After Yumi Asahina won our hearts with her debut photo book out this month, along with other great recent releases from Ayumu Takeuchi and Miho Abe, an old favorite has appeared with a photo book that just might reassert her position in the crowded ranks of gradols.
The slinky and alluring Hinako Sano has been on the scene for a while -- blimey, we included her in a round-up post of top idols way back in 2013 -- but her star was no longer on the ascent. That might change now with this latest photo book -- her first in a ...
Newbie gravure idol Yumi Asahina (朝比奈祐未) quickly made an impression on us a few months ago with her awesome butt -- so much so that we included her in our updated list of top asses in Japan.
Now she's gone one step further with a new photo book release that sees her strip off, not only revealing her gorgeous butt but even her bush and breasts. Praise the 8 million gods of Shinto! She's joined the long tradition of the "hair nude" full-frontal photo shoot.
The 26-year-old G-cup gravure idol was shot by Kendrick Watanabe for a retro-tinged photo book called Asahina Gaho (Asahina ...
Is this future of idols?
People often complain about the manufactured nature of idols, both in terms of the way they look and their music. Well, this development takes things to the next logical yet extreme step.
Kyoto-based DataGrid has released a video showing the creation of a fully digital schoolgirl idol. In fact, it's dozens of smiling, innocent-looking schoolgirls -- a fully fledged supergroup of its own, and all generated by computer graphic pixels and artificial intelligence.
To be honest, we don't know whether to be amazed or terrified. The realism is certainly amazing ...
While streaming a live video on her Instagram account, AKB48's Yuna Hattori seems to have inadvertently revealed not only a panchira up-skirt shot but even a glimpse of her hairy muff.
Japanese netizens with lots of time have taken frames from the video, freezing it for signs of forbidden fruits. Sure enough, Hattori's shorts were loose enough to apparently show us more than she expected or wanted. It's blurry, of course, but you can almost see strands of her Holy Grail between her legs. Not quite the whole bush, granted, but hints of it... perhaps?
For the record, ...
The busty gravure idol and actress Bambi Watanabe has decided to up her career by stripping off.
The stunning H-cup model has appeared in such TV shows as Amachan and even on stage, but now, on the cusp of thirty, the gravure glamor modeling work is drying up. What better way to revamp her career than stripping off for a shoot?
At the end of June, the 28-year-old Watanabe will release "BAMBI," her first photo book in nearly ten years. Will the nude images help push it up the sales rankings? Some preview shots have been published this month in a weekly magazine and we certainly like what ...
