We make no secret on this blog about the fact that we like curves. But we are also partial to Japanese women with those willowy bodies -- slender waists and hips, small breasts, and delicate frames just begging to be kissed and held.
Today, we're revisiting a nude scene from the movie Love At Least (2018) that shows off the actress Shuri (趣里, aka Shuri Mizutani), whose slim body is just like we describe above.
The mononymous star (then in her late twenties) is shown naked outdoors at night, luxuriating in the slender beauty of her body. (Why do we never stumble upon such scenes in Tokyo ...
A few weeks ago, we posted a preview about the gravure idol Sayaka Nitori's highly anticipated debut photo book.
The semi-nude photo book shows off the model's nipples for the first time, though nominally covered by wet clothing. We also noted the meteoric rise of the idol and how she has done it as a freelancer unattached to the usual talent agencies (which control a celebrity or model's career and take most of the money).
We are delighted now to share some more highlights from the photo book, Ribbon, proving that's really stretching the "semi" part of "semi-nude." Nitori's G-cup ...
A few weeks ago, we posted about the nude photo book by Manami Shindo. The key story was that Shindo, who speaks five languages, was going nude just as she reached the age of 30 -- that richly rewarding threshold after which woman become ripe jukujo.
But in addition to sharing some highlights from the photo book, we also mentioned her reported sex scenes in an upcoming movie, Far Away, Further Away, which is about an affair between an unhappily married woman and an estate agent.
Now we have managed to get a look at the movie, which came out in August in Japan, and more importantly, check ...
The Japanese romance film Usotsuki Paradox (sometimes Usotsuki Paradokusu, or Liar Paradox) stars Nami Motoyama (本山なみ) and features a number of explicit nude scenes. Though the film is now almost 10 years old, we wanted to highlight some of these.
They include a nude bathing scene between Motoyama's character and her lover, and then a length bed sex scene where her lover goes down on her. They are then shown having sex while she sits in his lap with her legs over his shoulders (athletic!) as well as in missionary and from behind while she lies on her front (and grabs the bed in ...
In the age of #MeToo, the job of the intimacy coordinator in film and television has risen to prominence in the West.
What about Japan? With the recent scandals over the likes of directors Sion Sono and Hideo Sakaki, documentary filmmaker Yu Kaneko, and actor Houka Kinoshita, concern over sexual predators and harassment is higher than ever (albeit much more belated than in the United States and Europe).
Intimacy coordinators do exist, though are a rare species indeed. Gendai Media recently published a two-part interview with Momoko Nishiyama, one of only two professional intimacy ...
It seems like everyone is doing nude shoots these days, from Nana Asakawa to Kyouka, Mariya Nagao, and Aoi Fujino.
Nude shoots can be a great way to make a comeback or boost a flagging career, or even, as in the case of Kyouka, go out with a bang.
Multilingual gravure idol and actress Manami Shindo, however, has already set a precedent in past photo shoots in 2021 that showed off her naked butt and (under sheer/wet clothing) breasts. Those shoots marked Shindo's full entry into the world of gravure -- and what an entrance it was.
Now the 30-year-old has decided to go one step further and ...
The Japanese actress Yoko Shimada (島田陽子) has died, aged 69, from complications of colorectal cancer.
She was best known internationally for her English-speaking role in the miniseries Shogun from 1980, adapted from the James Clavell bestseller.
Shimada rose to fame in Japan in the 1970s as an actress and singer, and then capitalized on her role in Shogun and became a star in Japan (though more international roles were few and far between).
But it all came crashing down in the late 1980s, when an affair with the musician Yuya Uchida was exposed by the tabloids and all her work dried ...
Despite her now-established mainstream popularity, the Japanese actress Fumi Nikaido has shown herself gamely willing to strip off for the right role.
After some previous nudity in the film River's Edge, for example, she did sex scenes in My Man, No Longer Human, and Tezuka's Barbara. And she does all this while fronting major advertising campaigns for brands. All too frequently, a willingness to remove your wardrobe consigns you to pink movie and B-movie role, so Nikaido is something of an outlier.
In River's Edge, her nude scenes were actually pretty tame, especially compared to far more ...
The relatively little-known actress Kurumi Nakayama (中山来未) has several nude scenes in the aptly titled Naked Angel: The Red Room, a film released in Japan in 2021 and based on a short story by Edogawa Ranpo.
There are several sex scenes, including one in a public restroom, and other scenes that apparently required Nakayama to be nude, though the final one has a bloody end involving a pair of scissors. The slim and slinky, modestly chested Nakayama shows off a lot of her body in these scenes, including a shot of her anus as she leans over her lover in the cowgirl ...
Ex-Nogizaka46 member Sayuri Matsumura gets her breasts groped in the new movie Will I Be Single Forever? (Zutto dokushin de iru tsumori?), which is available on Amazon Prime Video in Japan.
In the sex scene, Matsumura lies on a bed while a man tries to get her in the mood by rubbing her breasts vigorously. She seems less than convinced by the experience and his efforts.
There's no actual nudity, we are sad to report.
Now 29 years old, Sayuri Matsumura (aka Sayurin) is a former member of the Tokyo idol group. She graduated in summer 2021, having joined in 2011. During her years in the ...
