Earlier this week we shared pictures of what retired gravure idol Yukie Kawamura now looks like in her late thirties, having seemingly embraced the role of married semi-rural mom.
If Yukie's comely wife look got your heart racing, wait till you see Misumi Shiochi's latest pictures.
Now aged 40, Shiochi is still stunning -- and wants to show herself off to the world (again).
She is, of course, no stranger to gravure shoots, including nude ones that reveal her shapely butt, the former TV announcer is Japan's favorite jukujo at the moment (since the likes of Mitsu Dan and Manami Hashimoto are ...
Remember Fumika? How could you forget?!
In 2021, she smashed her way into the mainstream of gravure with a photo book shot by acclaimed Hajime Sawatari that showcased her stunning, athletic body -- and as nude as it's possible to be without showing actual nipples or more.
Now she's back with a very welcome second photo book, which comes out February 10 from major publisher Kadokawa. It's again shot by Hajime Sawatari and is also nude, though this time has a kind of "wild nature" theme with 28-year-old Fumika cast adrift, naked, amid the savage beauty of the landscape. It really accentuates ...
The 25-year-old gravure idol Minami Haruna (春名美波) has just got a career boost with her first photo book release at the end of last month, plus she has made a splash in the weeklies by going nude for it.
The former race queen looks ravishing in these shoots, which range from a hotel room to a ship, a swimming pool, and what seems to be a random spot in the countryside.
"Harenchi na watashi" (Shameless Me) is a genuinely nude photo book, though it's not full-frontal nudity and it's a little disingenuous with the breasts nudity.
We get to see Haruna's butt in all its bare glory, but ...
Attractive female sports athletes are a universal thing, of course, and such women can earn big bucks for sponsorship and modeling.
But there's a kind of culture in Japan of such female athletes of going the extra mile (especially if they are retired or not necessarily at the top of their field). And so you get lots of nude photo books by female athletes, from wrestlers to boxers, gymnasts, and swimmers.
The figure skater Mai Asada has pursued a lucrative side line in gravure, while the swimmer Miku Kojima and snowboarder Mero Imai went from nude shoots into porn.
The golfer Minase Ozawa ...
As we were in a bookstore recently perusing the crowded lineup of idol photo books released in the autumn to catch the end-of-year season, we found ourselves returning again and again to the stunning new offering from Yuka Someya.
As regular readers will know, Someya has featured multiple times on this blog.
She has recently established herself as the queen of the hair nude -- the full-frontal nude shoot that is usually allowed in spite of Japan's nominal legal ban on showing genitalia, including bush -- with several such shoots.
Someya is now aged 30 and as sultry and curvy as ever. She ...
Not satisfied with the recent rush of gravure idols' photo books? Even the ones like Minami Yamada's that are semi-nude?
Then you need something more reliable.
Minamo burst into our lives in 2021 when she made the switch from a brief stint in gravure (where she worked as Shizuku Taiyo from 2019) to porn, and hasn't looked back since.
One of the most popular adult video performers working in the industry today, she is currently attacked to porn production company T-Powers continues to release JAV titles (we count something like twice as many releases in 2022 as her debut year).
Her first ...
Want an early Christmas present? The gravure idol Minami Yamada (山田南実) has released a semi-nude photo book that is bound to delight her growing number of fans.
In "Departure," Yamada teases us with some side boob and glimpses of her butt (which, to be fair, is not especially shapely) while wearing only a white towel, covered by suds in the bath, or lying naked on a bed on her front while pulling up the only thing she's wearing -- sheer panties. You get to see plenty of naked back, that's for sure, though not actual nude tits or ass.
The 21-year-old Hokkaido native, who was a ...
Back in May, we reported on the arrests of the head of Japanese secondhand book store chain Mandarake and four of its employees over the sale of sexually explicit old photo books, which the chain apparently sold online and at two of its stores.
Though "hair nude" photo books with full-frontal nudity have been produced and sold by mainstream publishers for decades, the books in question here were so-called "vinyl books," which are older and more obscure -- and less regulated. They constitute a kind of gray zone in terms of adult publications in Japan: hair nude books are "celebrity books" or ...
A month's gone by and we wanted to update readers about Sayaka Nitori's photo book, Ribbon.
Her debut print release (advertised as semi-nude) puts her amazing G-cup bust at the front and center of proceedings, though her slinky body and ass are not neglected either.
Though not classified formally as a nude photo book, her nipples are nonetheless visible underneath her clothing or behind a gauze, and at least one ravishing shot shows her totally naked kneeling in the bath with her butt, bare back, side boob, and a bit of nipple on display. There's a similar follow-up shot with her lying in ...
Three years on from graduating HKT48, Haruka Kodama (兒玉遥) has rewarded her long-term fans with a shoot that shows her butt and lots of side boob, under-boob, and cleavage. We suppose it's a matter of debate whether this constitutes a nude or semi-nude shoot.
Haruppi gets about as close as you can without showing her actual nipples, pulling up her clothes as if to reveal the goodies and letting her top linger just enough over her breasts to protect her modesty.
In one shot of her butt, she's possibly wearing a thong, but in another she's slipping down her denim shorts to reveal those ...
