Former Morning Musume idol Maki Goto's 2021 comeback seemed to go well. After a career break caused by marriage, kids, and a rumored affair, Goto returned with a nude photo book that showed off her slender body with plenty of buttocks and side boob on show.
Sales clearly made the efforts worthwhile for Goto and her publisher, because the mother of two is back.
Her latest photo book is called flos and is out on November 29. It's celebrating her 25th anniversary in the entertainment industry.
Thousands, if not millions, of guys who grew up with a crush on Goto in the 2000s are eager to see ...
Malcolm Mask McLaren is a punk rock idol group in Japan with one of the most bizarre names there is. It originally formed in 2015 and the lineup fully disbanded in April 2023.
The group subsequently relaunched with an entirely new lineup of members in May 2023, but one former idol in the group, mone, has decided to start a very different career: as a porn star.
Mone was a member of Malcolm Mask McLaren from March 2016 to September 2018, singing vocals on the first three singles as well as the eventual album at the end of 2016.
She is now making her adult video debut as Tomo Shiraiwa ...
Our last post was about the successful, high-profile porn star Ai Hongo's unfortunate sex scandal that has forced her suspend her career.
While we will miss the slinky Ai Hongo, the truth is that there are lots of fine ladies out there vying to take her place in the Japanese adult video industry.
New performers make their debuts every week.
One who has caught our eye this month is Ito Asahi (朝陽いと), a busty former music idol who has made the switch to porn with her first release on Moodyz.
Her debut (MIFD00518), a 118-minute release, came out on September 13.
It makes a lot of ...
Former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has posed semi-nude for a series of lavishly shot pictures in her debut photo book
Released in Japan on September 11 and with a seaside and marine theme, Kitano's photo book is teasingly titled Want to Try Touching?.
Such semi-nude shoots and photo books have become common for the more adventurous music idols looking to boost their careers, but this one is especially sensual and revealing, with pretty much the whole of her body on display and her modesty only barely preserved by a crossed legs and crossed arms in the classic "hand bra" (tebura) ...
The actress and former idol Erina Nakazaki has appeared in what we think is her first nude scene.
Best known for her role in the Kamen Rider series, the 31-year-old appeared in Manji Reverse, which came out in Japan in May this year.
In the film, she rides a man as he lies helpless in his hospital bed. She is shown climbing on top, taking off her shirt and bra to reveal her breasts, while fucking him slowly in the cowgirl position, gradually getting faster and more turned on.
The film is about a love triangle between two men and a woman. It is yet another adaptation of Manji (aka ...
A music idol has been punished for having a boyfriend (and presumably having sex with him) by being forced to post pictures of herself every night to prove she is alone.
Momoka Tojo of girl group Katacoto Bank recently turned 20 but photos of her celebrating her birthday last month with a young man, which she posted herself, quickly attracted the shock and ire of fans.
In response, Tojo quickly deleted the pictures, and the seven-member group (active since 2021), which is stylized KATACOTO * BANK, announced on July 27 that Tojo has promised to "maintain a measure of distance from her ...
The former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has announced her first photo book.
The 25-year-old Gifu native's debut publication will come out in Japan on September 11.
Known for her girl-next-door looks, Kitano is attempting something of an image change by posing naked, with her modesty protected only by her carefully and alluringly placed arms across her chest.
Kitano was a member of the Nagoya-based group from 2014 until the end of June this year and is clearly hoping to capitalize on her fandom's demand for pics of her and her body.
The as-yet-untitled book will only be semi-nude but if the ...
The casting couch is one of the biggest open secrets in the Japanese entertainment world.
Abuse and sexual harassment of voice actors, fashion models, and gravure idols has recently gained a lot of attention.
The general acting world is also very belatedly having a sort of MeToo moment with the exposure of male sex predators. The director Hideo Sakaki, for instance, has just been arrested for the fourth time. On the other hand, perhaps we still have some ways to go: the director of the new film adaptation of manga Sensei's Pious Lie sparked headlines when he said he rejected the lead ...
Nogizaka46's Mizuki Yamashita has released a new photo book that is causing a stir.
Following the success of her first photo book that was semi-nude and featured the singer posing with a furry friend, the 24-year-old's latest photo book, Heroine came out on April 23 and has already set the interwebs alight with the alluring images it contains of Zukkie in white lingerie.
Unforgettable Person sold 100,000 in its first week alone and would go on to sell almost 200,000 copies. Can Heroine replicate those numbers? The thong and sheer bodysuit will surely help, along with the great shots of her ...
There has been a lot of outrage recently about male hosts in Japan exploiting vulnerable women, young and old, in order to get them to pay the ridiculous fees their clubs charge. This includes forcing underage girls into prostitution.
We shouldn't overlook the dark and controversial world of music idols, however, where the casting coach is commonplace (as it is in gravure modeling). Things get particularly murky in the far less lucrative world of minor and underground idols, who don't get mainstream exposure and are more vulnerable to managers and so on promising success and money.
A ...
