December 17, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Idol-of-the-moment Kazusa Okuyama has released a new digital photo book, Passion, and, judging from the preview images we have seen, it's yet another stunner.
Shot by Tim Gallo, it was released by Weekly Playboy. Okuyama dazzles in purple-pink lingerie and a black dress that shows off her slender legs and alluring back.
The 27-year-old Aoyama native has also just released a new calendar. This digital photo book follows on from her third print photo book (shot by Tomoki Kuwajima), which came out from Shogakukan on September 30. That's three print photo books in as ...
Ex-SKE48 Kanako Hiramatsu finally gets solo gravure shoot at age 30
December 7, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
It took her a while but former SKE48 idol Kanako Hiramatsu (平松可奈子) has finally got herself a solo gravure shoot.
In the December 20 issue of Weekly Playboy, the 30-year-old poses for a sexy spread more than a decade after her debut.
They say that good things are worth waiting for and we think she looks even better than before. The shoot might just have planted the seeds of a gravure comeback. Alternative shots from it will be turned into a digital photo book.
Kanakana was a member of SKE48 from 2008 to 2013. In the years since, she has graduated college and started her ...
Singer-actress Mariya Nishiuchi poses for Weekly Playboy bikini cover shoot
December 1, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
The model, singer, and actress Mariya Nishiuchi has made a foray into gravure with a bikini cover shoot for the current issue of Weekly Playboy, which went on sale in Japan on Monday.
As the weather turns well and truly wintry here in Tokyo, it may seem a peculiar choice to have Mariya in a sexy bikini and emerging from the sea, her body dripping. (Where and when did they do the shoot? Given the travel restrictions, surely somewhere in Japan, but it's chilly even down south in Okinawa right now, so it must have been a few weeks ago.) Still, it's got us dreaming of summer -- not to mention ...
Athletic hottie Risako Tanabe (Terrace House) makes gravure debut
November 11, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Terrace House is sadly canceled but the people that the show made into (minor) stars are still around, and some of them are trying to continue their success.
The "sports talent" Risako Tanabe (田辺莉咲子) is one and has now made her gravure debut. The athletic and well-toned beauty just did her first gravure shoot, which appears in the issue of Weekly Playboy on sale from November 8. As gravure goes, there's not too much to get excited about here, but perhaps it will lead more, racier shoots in the months ahead.
The 23-year-old (who is a petite 148 cm) stays in shape by doing workouts ...
Mayu Ura, “that model” from those weird ads, launches gravure career
October 29, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
There are those times when you go, "Oh, THAT person." And suddenly it all makes sense where you have seen someone before.
Mayu Ura (浦まゆ) is not a name that many, if any, people knew. But her face was familiar from a lot of adverts -- and frankly, some pretty striking, even downright weird, ones.
The 29-year-old is appearing in several commercials, with current contracts with 10 brands.
Well, she may struggle to land major advertising deals now, since she's taken a new step in her career with a nude gravure shoot for a Weekly Playboy (with an accompanying digital photo book). ...
Today we are showcasing the leggy delights of actor and fashion model Miki Yanagi (柳美稀), especially her recent photo shoot published about a month ago in the weekly magazine Friday.
Check out that sexy mole on her chest.
The 24-year-old Osaka native also appeared in a lingerie shoot for Weekly Playboy in May this year. Here are some highlights.
You can see how her looks are acquiring a maturer, metropolitan sensuality. These photos are from 2019 and 2017 shoots, when you can see how much more pure and innocent she seemed.
She published her first ...
Take an intimate summer trip with Miki Sato
August 6, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
After last year, this is another summer that almost feels like it doesn't have a proper summer. We can't really go anywhere -- certainly not abroad -- and most festivals and major events are even canceled for a second year in a row or held in reduced forms.
Fortunately, someone is here to bring some much-needed sun into our lives.
The actor and model Miki Sato (佐藤美希) is featured in the August 23 issue of Weekly Playboy in a stunning summer-themed shoot.
What we love about this shoot is that it mostly eschews the more obvious swimsuit and pool or sea shots.
Instead we get the ...
Ex-NMB48 idol Rina Kondo makes gravure comeback
July 7, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Former NMB48 idol Rina Kondo (近藤里奈) has delighted fans by slipping off her clothes and lying nude on a bed, her modesty preserved only by a slinky pair of panties.
The 24-year-old has released a digital photo book in which she shows off her sweet girl-next-door features, but with a healthy degree of sex appeal thanks to her naked back. Who says cute girls cannot also be sexy?
Intended to preview and promote the digital photo book release, the gravure shoot was published in an issue of Weekly Playboy in late June -- her first appearance in the magazine in eight ...
Minami Fukuoka gets tied up and nude for latest gravure shoot
June 18, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
After yesterday's good news about Mariko Seyama's nipples comes more fine tidings about another lady we have long admired.
Minami Fukuoka (福岡みなみ) is not a jukujo like 41-year-old Seyama but has her old slinky, slender charms.
In the 26-year-old's latest gravure photo shoot for the current issue Weekly Playboy, she has taken off everything and shown us what she looks like with her most intimate parts of her body covered with her arms.
The results are mighty fine -- even more so if you like a girl tied up in shibari bondage rope.
From lab tech beauty to rooftop seductress and ...
Tomomi Morisaki heats up her body by the camp fire
May 26, 2021
/ Tadashi Anahori
Summer is nearly here and we are looking forward to some camping. Ideally with a lady like this.
Tomomi Morisaki is so hot, she's on fire. That's the unsubtle yet apt metaphor conveyed in her latest photo shoot, which has a "phoenix" theme with the lovely Tomomi posing in lingerie around open flames. The shoot was featured in an issue of Weekly Playboy released in late April, meaning the outdoors shoot was actually done when the weather was still quite mild. Now that's commitment to her craft.
The stunning 28-year-old with a G-cup, long a favorite of this blog, is promoting the ...
