Usako Kurusu to release digital photobook ‘Private AFTERNOON’

Usako Kurusu is set to release a new digital photobook titled ‘Private AFTERNOON’ on September 25, 2026. Published by Eye Factory under the ‘FIRST GRAVURE’ label, the collection will be available exclusively on the Amazon Kindle store.

The theme of the photobook is ‘intimacy as an extension of daily life,’ featuring Kurusu in a quiet traditional Japanese house. The shoot captures various expressions ranging from relaxed, natural moments to more mature styles, utilizing settings such as verandas and rooms filled with afternoon light. Kurusu, known for her signature swimwear style but also active in competitive poker and body contests, features new long hair and black lingerie in this collection.

Kurusu, originally from Ehime Prefecture, has achieved significant popularity in the gravure industry, including a number one ranking on Amazon for her previous DVD. Her recent activities have expanded beyond modeling to include international poker tournaments.
