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 ...
Someone shared a behind-the-scenes video of Haruna Kojima at a photo shoot while she is getting ready. She's standing in her panties as members of her staff attend to her body and clothing. Though she's sadly wearing a top to preserve her modesty, her slinky panties reveal more than perhaps the people present expected.
Japanese netizens, perhaps with too much time on their hands, have paused the video and zoomed in to see that it might show Haruna Kojima's paipan (fully shaved) pussy.
To be fair, you don't seem much -- but that's the point. If she wasn't fully shaved or waxed down there, ...
The glory of Japanese television strikes again. From handjob karaoke contests to gravure idols stripping off samurai armor and filming behind the scenes at a nude photo shoot, there seems no end to the imaginations of producers.
This time, it was Wednesday's Downtown, a variety show on TBS presented by the comedy duo Downtown (Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada).
The gorgeous and decidedly busty gravure idol Fumina Suzuki was stripped naked and then wrapped in plastic for no reason other than to show off her breasts being squeezed by the tight layers of semi-transparent plastic. ...
Unless you are one of the increasingly small number of fans who follow all the inns and outs of the current lineup of idols in AKB48, you may not know who Rena Kato is. We didn't. But we certainly do now.
She has released her sexiest shoot to date. While it's not exactly pushing the boundaries like her cohorts, not least Haruka Shimda, or former members of the group who have gone on to sexier climates, such as Natsumi Hirajima and Aika Ota (and that's before we even start talking about the ex-AKB48 girls who have gone into porn), it's a pretty good way to make an impression on would-be ...
Are you an ass guy? Then you're gonna love this.
Following the immense popularity of our previous lingering look at the under-appreciated charms of Japanese girls' butts, here is an update with some new favorites.
We made selections from currently active gravure idols, adult video stars, actresses, and celebrities. From the plump to the curvy, the flat and cute, the pert and big, we hope there's something for everyone here.
For more examples, check out our "butt" posts on Tumblr.
As always, drop other ideas and suggestions into the comments!

Following the initial buzz, the adult implications for virtual reality in Japan have not yet quite lived up to the hype.
We were amused to see the recent demonstration by idol Kanna Hashimoto of a "4D goggles" where a robotic arm feeds the wearer a candy while watching Hashimoto do the same virtually. Otherwise there has been a lack of major new projects, unless they simply passed under our radar that was too clogged with AV and onaholes to notice.
But this is fun -- and perhaps something that only the minds of Akihabara could have conceived. It's a virtual reality experience of dining ...
