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 ...
The model Riho Takada (高田里穂) has made a triumphant return to gravure and is now releasing her first print photo book in 11 years.
As featured in the cover shoot for the October 31 issue of Weekly Playboy, the 28-year-old Riho went nuder than ever before for the swimwear/beach-themed and lingerie shoot.
Other shots feature her topless, her breasts covered by her hands and arms held close to her chest, or by a carefully positioned shirt.
We're not sure why all these autumn photo books think a summer theme is the way to go -- see the new photo book by Hana Takeuchi for ...
We're rather belatedly catching up with some of the AV and gravure releases we missed last month. One was the first photo book released by the gravure idol Hana Takeuchi (竹内花).
"Hana no Mitsu" (Flower Nectar, or Hana's Nectar) came out on September 8 from Wani Books, which specializes in gravure publications. Shot by Seiji Yanishi, the photo book has a summery vibe that doesn't sit well with the autumnal temperatures in Tokyo, but we're not complaining about the shots of Hana clutching blocks of ice to her naked chest.
Talking of which, according to her profile, the 24-year-old has a ...
Sometimes we see something that makes us feel a bit nostalgic -- and a bit old!
Rika Adachi (足立梨花) was one of our favorite gravure idols about a decade ago, mainly for her nice butt. She made it onto our now-legendary list of "Japanese babes with great asses."
To be honest, we haven't followed all the ins and outs of her modeling and acting career in the years since, though we remember when she was forced to deny having had plastic surgery (which is secretly quite common in Japan).
Well, now Rika Adachi has released a new photo book to mark her thirtieth birthday (what? When did ...
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 ...
The slinky Sayaka Nitori is one of the most popular gravure idols of the moment and enjoys a following especially on social media (to the cool tune of a million followers on Instagram). In fact, she's known as an Instagram gravure pioneer, launching her account in late 2016 and then making her formal debut in gravure in 2018.
After years of anticipation, the 28-year-old is releasing her first photo book, Ribbon, on September 28, and has finally shown us her nipples.
Kind of.
Those titties are unfortunately still covered by her clothing, but the amazing outline of her pert nipples of her ...
