We already blogged about Juri Kawasaki's amazing nude sex scenes in the new Netflix Japanese drama Fishbowl Wives.
Kawasaki is a much lesser-known actor (at the moment), which makes her and her agency more willing to do such scenes. We originally speculated that the big names in the series like Kyoko Hasegawa and Ryoko Shinohara would not do nude scenes in the adultery-themed drama. We were half right, it seems.
Fishbowl Wives does feature a nude sex scene with Kyoko Hasegawa, herself recently divorced.
It's not anywhere near as explicit as Juri Kawasaki's breasts-baring/sucking scenes, ...
One of the regular themes of this blog is the after-lives of gravure idols, models, adult video performers, and so on. What happens after they retire? What can do they do after their time -- often only brief -- in the limelight?
We had Reiko Nagaoka (永岡怜子) on our radar for a while in this regard, because she presents an interesting example. And then her story took an intriguing twist recently and we felt it was time to share.
She first worked in gravure in the 2010s under a different name: Una Shirakawa (白川卯奈).
Shen then switched to Reiko Nagaoka in around 2016, ...
Fans were very pleased by Maki Goto's new photo book, "ramus," in which the 36-year-old former Morning Musume idol rewarded those of us who had waited long for her comeback by posing nude.
Alright, let's be honest, there was also a bit of disappointment. As great as mother-of-two jukujo Maki looks, she was ultimately "only" revealing her naked butt and side boob. And as fans will know, she did as much already 10 years ago.
Fortunately for anyone disappointed, a netizen has stepped in to take things further and apply their photo-editing skills to the very good purpose of revealing Maki ...
It took her a while but former SKE48 idol Kanako Hiramatsu (平松可奈子) has finally got herself a solo gravure shoot.
In the December 20 issue of Weekly Playboy, the 30-year-old poses for a sexy spread more than a decade after her debut.
They say that good things are worth waiting for and we think she looks even better than before. The shoot might just have planted the seeds of a gravure comeback. Alternative shots from it will be turned into a digital photo book.
Kanakana was a member of SKE48 from 2008 to 2013. In the years since, she has graduated college and started her ...
We wrote a few weeks ago about the exciting news that music idol Maki Goto is making a comeback (after taking a break to get married and have two kids -- and allegedly having an affair).
The former Morning Musume member has relaunched her music career with live concerts, and is building her profile and fandom again through an active YouTube output.
Even better, she's releasing a photo book, ramus, on November 29 from Kodansha. It's her first in 10 years.
And from the previews we've seen, ramus clearly harks back to her time as a girl-next-door cutie who once did lingerie shoots and a ...
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 ...
The Lower House election in Japan was held on Sunday -- yes, Halloween. The populace elected a bunch of ghouls and monsters to represent them.
One person who failed in their first bid to win a seat was the former gravure idol Chisato Morishita. Now aged 40 and still looking great, Morishita was trying to get elected in Miyagi as a candidate backed by the conservative LDP (who won the election overall). She got 61,410 votes (the ultimate winner got 81,033 votes, securing their ninth continuous term).
As we reported earlier in the year, she has been campaigning since the spring. (In Japan, ...
It's been a long, long wait, but one of our all-time favorites idols is back. Sure, she's older and wiser. Yet boy, does she still look great.
Former Morning Musume idol Maki Goto has been relatively quiet these past years, though launched a YouTube account in April 2020. The content of the videos is mostly pretty banal (trying food, makeup tips, etc.), but it was the first main indication that she was making a comeback. What has she been doing in the time since she left Morning Musume? In 2015, she married and started a family. She now has two children, though she admitted to having had an ...
She's back. And though in the interim, there have been thousands of Japanese gravure and music idols to keep us more than entertained, we didn't realize how much we missed the slinky charms of former SDN48 idol Serina (芹那) until we saw her again.
And we see a lot of her this time.
Since in her first photo book release in 10 years, Serina has gone semi-nude -- showing off her more mature and experienced, 36-year-old body.
She graduated SDN48 -- remember, the sexier version of AKB48? -- way back in 2012, after which we heard little about her.
Now she's making a jukujo comeback with a ...
One of the biggest hits on Netflix right now is the South Korean drama series Squid Game, a high-concept story about a series of games in which the losers die. It's a fun TV show and well worth watching.
But like other viewers, we were particularly interested in the ladies. Jung Ho-yeon is stunning, but we also liked 45-year-old actress Kim Joo-ryung, especially her sex scene.
In one episode, Kim Joo-ryung (sometimes credited as Kim Joo-ryoung) fucks a man in a restroom stall, straddling him while he sits on the toilet seat. All while holding a lit cigarette. Now that's hardcore.
We don't ...
