Top model and actress Haruka Ayase is reportedly dating a much younger male singer and actor.
According to tabloid reports, Ayase (39) is in a relationship with Jesse Lewis (28), who, despite the name, is a Japanese singer with the group SixTones.
The pair reportedly visited Las Vegas together this month. Lewis's father is from Las Vegas and the tabloids have interpreted this as meaning he took Ayase "home" to introduce her to his parents.
News about the relationship has had a mixed reaction from the public, some of whom are surprised at the age gap. However, we rarely blink twice if a male ...
The gyaru with her tanned skin, heavy makeup, pronounced eyelashes, fake nails, and (frequently) dyed and wavy hair is a mainstay of Japanese fashion, with particular magazines and shops catering toward the style.
If you can't get to Shibuya's 109 to see gyaru in person, the next best thing are photos. And is this the hottest lineup of gyaru talent in Japanese fashion today?
Weekly Young Magazine has a stunning photo shoot in its April 22 issue. Titled "Bohemian GALsody," the shoot features five gorgeous gyaru models: Kimi, AiRi, Maami, Aimero, and Ruru Tanaka.
This slinky ladies are ...
The model Yukina Kinoshita continues to pursue an unusual path following her scandal, divorce (after multiple allegations of adultery), and losing her agency.
She has released a nude photo book and focused on social media channels like YouTube to keep herself in clover, her celebrity lifestyle apparently unaffected by her complete disappearance from fashion magazine covers.
The 36-year-old mother of two, who is currently dating 30-year-old soccer player Hidetoshi Miyuki, is gradually working more in the mainstream media and recently made an appearance on a TV show called Ai no Hyena on the ...
Haruka Ayase is one of the most famous models and actors in Japan.
Before she made the transition into mainstream acting and modeling, and seemed to appear in almost every TV commercial or brand campaign, Ayase was briefly a gravure idol. She's got the looks for it: a cute, girl-next-door face, slim body, and (by most Japanese standards) large breasts.
This shoot in which she stands alluringly against a window, her body on display except for skimpy swimwear, is one of our all-time favorite gravure pics.
She even once shot some sort of video in a bath, and you can find nude grainy ...
Welcome back, Nanao, it's been a while. Far too long.
The mononymous actress known for her long legs has spent several years on TV, but we still have very fond memories of her stunning photo book 1028_24, which made her legs famous back in 2012, and her sexy Anan magazine cover shoot from shortly after. In the early 2010s, in between roles in TV dramas where she was almost always cast as a mean type, she seemed determined to push things as far as they could go, blurring the line between gravure and fashion modeling.
Divine is Nanao's first photo book in 10 years. Shot on the island of ...
We've said it before and we'll say it again: the fashion magazine Anan is the place to go for jaw-dropping lingerie photo shoots.
Alright, obviously the gravure weeklies like Friday and Playboy deliver the goods on a regular basis, but Anan makes us sit up and take notice, either because it's a model or celebrity reinventing herself or just simply because of the sheer quality of the photo shoot.
It's been doing it for several years now, establishing a real reputation for sexy shoots with idols and models. Past cover shoots that made a big splash include: Kana Kurashima (2021), Ayaka Miyoshi ...
She teased. The mainstream media lapped it up. She delivered. Now the publisher is looking to see the impact on the sales figures.
The former top fashion model Yukina Kinoshita has attempted her comeback with a page straight out of Angelica Michibata's book: when in doubt, take off your clothes.
As we continue to revel in a wave of nostalgia with recent gravure comebacks by the likes of Shizuka Nakamura and Ai Shinozaki -- likewise, nude or semi-nude -- we were intrigued by this slightly different case, in which the model Kinoshita, after being dropped by her agency over the celebrity's ...
We love a good comeback story.
After some time quietly doing her own thing on YouTube and Instagram, Yukina Kinoshita (木下優樹菜) has returned to the mainstream entertainment world.
As a kind of de facto apology for her recent scandals, the 34-year-old mother of two is releasing a nude photo book.
"CORRECT" is published by Futabasha and released on March 17. It's being publicized heavily as "nude," though the preview images we have seen so far are only semi-nude (in the classic "hand bra" pose, or tebura). We will update with more pictures when they become available. Hopefully this ...
Nana Suzuki has rewarded her many fans by going nude again -- about five years after her previous shoot.
This is what is technically classified as a "semi-nude" in Japan, since you don't see any nipples (much less bush), but Nana certainly looks stunning in profile and with much of her butt on view.
She's now 33 years old and balances mature quasi-jukujo allure with a yoga-toned slenderness.
A model since her high school days for magazine Popteen (and associated with another similar model Tsubasa Masuwaka), Nana is these days mostly a TV tarento famous for being famous, but is finally ...
We recently wrote about Urara Uraraka's new "maternity nude" photo book, citing the precedent for such pregnancy shoots in Japan among celebrities and idols. One of the examples we mentioned was Angelica Michibata, who posed for a fairly modest (technically non-nude) one in 2018.
Now Angelica Michibata is back in the news with reports that she has divorced her husband, whom she married in late 2017 after she fell pregnant.
This is a big deal only because it would seem to bring to an end an unfortunate -- to say the least -- chapter of her life in which her ex-husband was arrested for ...
