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 ...
After two seasons of The Naked Director and films like Ride or Die, Netflix is proving that its original Japanese content is the place to go for nude sex scenes.
In the film We Couldn't Become Adults, a Netflix original and now available on the streaming giant, Sairi Ito (伊藤沙莉) shows her beautiful Japanese-sized breasts when her lover takes her off robe and then she lies down in bed for some action. We get to see her nipples pretty close up.
Sairi Ito also had a small role in the two seasons of The Naked Director. She previously did nude scenes in Love and Other Cults ...
Yuko Oshima has really changed in the seven or so years since she graduated AKB48 (writing which makes us feel old!).
She's reinvented herself as a serious actress, like her former AKB stablemate Atsuko Maeda. She went off to study in America and got herself a foreign boyfriend when she returned.
More recently, the 32-year-old got married (not to the aforementioned foreign boyfriend but to fellow actor Kento Hayashi) this year.
But another chapter in her post-AKB career appeared a couple of years ago: she shot her first sex scenes (unless we missed an earlier example) for All the Things We ...
Busty gravure idol and actress Asuka Oda (小田飛鳥) released a new photo book -- her fourth -- in the summer.
We are just catching up with some of the developments we missed and decided also to check out her sex scenes in the film Anticipation (2019).
The movie features some great shots of her large breasts and pert nipples, including a sex scene in which she rides a man. In another scene, her breasts are exposed from under her shirt while her skirt is pushed up and a man fingers her aggressively.
Sorry for the poor quality of the screen grabs.
Anticipation, which is ...
It's official. Kumi Takiuchi has replaced Mugi Kadowaki as the most interesting female actor in Japan right now who is willing to do nude scenes.
Though some will do nude sex scenes at the start of their careers (case in point, Yuriko Yoshitaka) or if trying to reboot their careers (case in point, Yuka Masuda), most actresses in Japan (or at least, their agencies) stick to tamer roles.
Not so Kumi Takiuchi, who has already done impressive sex scenes in Side Job and It Feels So Good.
Her latest role is in the movie Ura Aka: L'Adventure, a small independent film that did not gain much ...
There's that cliche about aging like a fine wine but for some women, it really is true.
A model like Nana Eikura, for instance, we can remember from her early career when she was a teenaged model. Cute, for sure, but she is way hotter now that she is a married young mother in her thirties.
Taking things (quite) a bit further (chronologically speaking), we have just found out that Narimi Arimori (有森也実) is to release her first photo book in 19 years.
At the ripe age of 53, the actor poses in lingerie for her fourth photo book, "prayer," which comes out in Japan on October 22.
We ...
