Yuka Oki has just graduated STU48, the Setouchi-based version of AKB48, and seems determined to make a name for herself.
And as past members of the AKB and Nogizaka sister groups have demonstrated (most recently Miku Tanaka and Ruka Kitano), stripping off is a surefire way to get attention.
She hasn't done quite that, but Oki has done probably her sexist shoot yet.
Aptly titled "Breaking Compliance," Oki's shoot for Flash sees her switch from music idol to gravure idol with aplomb, wearing a figure-hugging leotard or swimsuit that buttons up along the middle.
The high-cut item really ...
She's back.
We're delighted to welcome the return of Haruka Kodama, who has done her first gravure photo shoot in two years.
She appears on the cover of the October 15 issue of weekly magazine Flash. The swimwear-themed shoot features the model and actress lounging around a sunny pool and making us whistful about the hot summer that has just finished (though it's still T-shirt weather here in Tokyo).
Alongside her debut cover for the magazine, Flash has also released two digital photo books. Do you want Haruka Kodama in bed or by the pool?
Haruppi will apparently appear in ...
In early March, we reported on the exciting news that former AKB48 idol and nude model Satomi Kaneko was to make her porn debut as Kiho Kanematsu, after she had supposedly retired in 2023.
We can now share the first preview images from her debut, which comes out from Muteki, a specialist is such crossovers.
The 34-year-old's first AV, the 176-minute 18Gold (TEK00099), was released on digital formats on April 2 .
We have yet to see the AV. If you've caught it already, please let us know your assessment of the quality. From the previews, it looks quite conventional, though Kaneko/Kanematsu's ...
The former AKB48 idol Satomi Kaneko officially retired last year and we thought it was the last we would see of her.
How wrong we are. Today comes the happy news that Satomi Kaneko is to make her porn debut with the Muteki label -- which specializes in such industry crossover debuts -- and under the name Kiho Kanematsu (金松季歩).
It is common, often for contractual reasons, for idols to change their professional name when transition into porn, or even just when switching management agencies. Kaneko/Kanematsu announced her new professional name about a week ago, along with a new shoot ...
The insanely popular Japanese porn star Eimi Fukada was spotted on a date at a ramen restaurant in late 2023 with Junnosuke Taguchi, who has also been spotted by reporters coming in and out of her home.
Sporting dyed-blonde hair, Taguchi is not the former KAT-TUN member of the same name but a 31-year-old cosmetic surgeon who works at a clinic in Roppongi. As seems to be the case with everyone these days, he also has a successful sideline as a YouTuber.
They have been dating for around a year and a half, according to a recent report in Weekly Flash, and have even been on a trip to Vietnam ...
Former AKB48 idol Nana Owada is already celebrating her tenth anniversary in the entertainment world, even though she's still just 23 years old.
Her new photo book marking her decade-long career, encounter, comes out June 15 and the previews are setting the internet on fire.
One image features a curvy Nana Owada standing naked in a bath with her arms covering her breasts.
In other shots, she shows off her naked back, including a great pic where she's lying nude on a bed, though sadly only the top of her butt is actually visible.
In another photo, she's sitting nude on a bed with ...
Back in June 2021, we delighted in the gravure idol Minami Fukuoka's shibari-inspired photo shoot.
Things have been quiet for a while but Fukuoka has now made a return to gravure for the first time in a year with a shoot for the July 12 issue of Weekly Flash.
The 27-year-old Tokyo University of Science graduate is ravishing, naked under a white jacket or wearing just panties while lying on her front on a bed. Who needs coffee in the morning when you can look at pictures like this to wake you up?!
Her own posts about the shoot on her popular Instagram page inevitably ...
The former Yumemiru Adolescence idol Kyouka is, as we have eagerly chronicled on this blog, leaving gravure with a highly anticipated nude photo book.
The goodies have been released piecemeal with photo shoots in Weekly Friday.
The latest to catch our roaming eye (published in the February 1 issue of Flash) are these pictures, once again showing off her ravishing breasts in all their glory. Such exquisite shape and size -- and what beautiful skin!
The photo book, which finally now has a title ("Frontera"), is being promoted as a "full nude," suggesting that the 22-year-old ...
The ex-AKB48 idol Nana Owada (大和田南那) has posed semi-nude for the current issue of Weekly Flash.
The 22-year-old is promoting her second photo book, "private," which comes out on November 30. The 10-page shoot features unused shots from the upcoming release.
The now-conventional tebura "hand bra" shot is really nice, as is the one where she's lying on her side and her arms just about cover her breasts. That said, it actually looks like she is taming things down from her first photo book, which was even more revealing in terms of the amount of flesh on display (though not outright ...
It always feels good to welcome back an old favorite.
The gravure idol Ayame Misaki was a regular on this blog in the early 2010s. But then she got married in 2016 (only to divorce the following year) and also started working as a "serious" actress, landing a role in a film by art-house auteur Naomi Kawase.
But she didn't forget her gravure roots, even if her days of doing nude scenes in low-budget movies are sadly behind her.
Now aged 32 and teetering on the edge of youth and jukujo territory in the most alluring of ways, Misaki made a gravure comeback in late May with a shoot for the ...
