Last month, a lot of readers joined us in admiring Kyouka's breasts. The former Yumemiru Adolescence idol had teased us throughout 2021 with provocative shoots, finally rewarding with a nude photo book.
The photo book, which was shot in Okinawa, is yet to be released -- meaning we may be in for even better treats in due time -- but further images from it confirm there are other great nude shots of her body.
Though these are not full-frontals (are those waiting for us between the covers of the release on March 4), but once again showcase the 22-year-old's ravishingly voluptuous F-cup breasts ...
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, ...
The year is drawing to a close: another twelve months packed full of gravure shoots and photo books. But who did the most memorable nude shoot?
Sure, there were plenty of sexy and semi-nude shoots, but who made their nude debuts? Who looked best without their clothes on?
We look at the best nude shoots in 2021 from gravure idols, models, and other celebrities (not porn stars, since going nude is par for the course).
Former Morning Musume idol and singer Maki Goto make a high-profile comeback to live performance and also released a photo book, where she went nude again -- and proved how ...
Kyouka (京佳), the 22-year-old gravure idol who is a slightly less busty Jun Amaki lookalike, has continued to build a fandom in the surest way possible: by taking off her clothes.
As we gleefully reported earlier in the year, she already did this for a weekly magazine and showed us her butt and side boob.
Now the lovable gradol and former Yumemiru Adolescence member with the winning smile has done it again with another shower-and-bath-themed shoot for Weekly Friday, published back in November (sorry, we forgot to post this!). Over the nine pages, she showed us her nude butt and about as ...
Actress and gravure idol Manami Shindo (新藤まなみ) has taken her career to the next stage with another nude photo shoot and her first image DVD release in four years.
The 29-year-old, who was briefly a reporter for TBS in 2014 and can apparently speak five languages, also released a digital photo book earlier in the year. As an actress, her appearances include an episode of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (from the Super Sentai tokusatsu franchise).
She did an onsen-themed nude shoot for weekly magazine Friday over two issues back in April, showing off her naked back and butt, and wet ...
What to do when your career as a weather forecaster is faltering? Strip off for a weekly magazine, it seems.
Well, it's hard to say what the precise motives are for Mian Shirasaka (白坂みあん), the 21-year-old beauty who holds a qualification as a weather forecaster (often held by weather presenters) and whose meteorological broadcasting career is surely just starting.
But that hasn't stopped her from moving to her backup plan, which was apparently not only trying her hand at gravure but at a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot as well. Talk about jumping in at the deep end.
The shoot is ...
She goes by many names and her career just took a whole new turn.
Previous active since 2020 as a music idol in such groups as KissBee and Once a Chance under the names Sarina Toyama (外山さりな) and Sarina Haru (春さりな), she has switched to gravure -- and yet another name, Meisa Nishimoto (西元めいさ).
Not such a big surprise here: a large number of idols also pose for gravure shoots on a regular basis.
But for the Chiba native's shoot in the August 27 issue of the weekly magazine Friday, she posed for a great full-frontal nude shoot (hair nude). Now that's what we call ...
We cannot quite believe that's approaching five years since we last introduced the charms of Satomi Kaneko.
Formerly of AKB48 (until 2007), the gravure idol has in the past done some provocative and alluring photo shoots showing just how close she can get to nudity while just about maintaining a PG-13 rating.
Cue bare backs, fundoshi and a shaved you-know-what, buttocks and glimpses of a nude butt, side boobs and tebura "hand bras" galore.
Now aged 31, Satomi's career is moving into a new phase. And we will be eternally grateful to whichever gods of fate or Shinto are responsible.
For her ...
A former founding member of idol group Yumemiru Adolescence (YumeAdo), Kyouka (京佳) is a curvy, busty goddess. With her F-cup and girl-next-door looks, the gradol has charmed her way through five photo books to date -- though three were self-produced -- and has just released a new digital book.
Since leaving YumeAdo in 2019, she also tried without much success to crowdfund a music album.
But she is still immensely popular as a gravure idol. She has now turned to a sure-fire way to boost her fandom: posing semi-nude for weekly magazine Friday.
With her arms and hands protecting the ...
After wowing the world with her perfectly proportioned body and face late last year, gravure idol Airi Sato landed a supporting role in the second season of the porn-themed Netflix drama series The Naked Director.
While admittedly not as impressive as her co-stars' sex scenes like Misato Morita, Yuri Tsunematsu, or Yuka Masuda, Sato appears nude in the series. She gives us a look at her breasts in a scene in a strip show (the series is set in the 1980s and 1990s, back when burlesque was still popular in Japan).
The slinky and beautiful Sato is hoping to capitalize on her exposure in the ...
