Misumi Shiochi continues nude streak in her forties

Earlier this week we shared pictures of what retired gravure idol Yukie Kawamura now looks like in her late thirties, having seemingly embraced the role of married semi-rural mom.

If Yukie’s comely wife look got your heart racing, wait till you see Misumi Shiochi’s latest pictures.

Now aged 40, Shiochi is still stunning — and wants to show herself off to the world (again).

She is, of course, no stranger to gravure shoots, including nude ones that reveal her shapely butt, the former TV announcer is Japan’s favorite jukujo at the moment (since the likes of Mitsu Dan and Manami Hashimoto are married and no longer doing gravure).

Her new, as-yet-untitled photo book comes out in Japan in April (not long before she turns 41) and these initially released preview shots show that she’s not holding back as she enters her forties.

Wow.

As we wrote back in autumn 2021 about her then-latest new photo book, Shiochi gets nuder the older she becomes!

She only just released another photo book last September that reveled in her pale white skin and slim body. Here are some highlights.

Shiochi has, at least, stopped short (so far) of doing full-frontal nudity (the legendary “hair nude” shoot) or from showing off her breasts/nipples (she’s supposed to be a G cup but we’re not convinced, though her breasts are lovely). Perhaps we have that delight to look forward to next year?

While Minami Tanaka famously went from being a moderately successful announcer to being an incredibly successful model and actress, releasing a bestselling photo book and making occasional forays into lingerie modeling, Shiochi’s career path closer to a certain type of announcer who seems to give up on TV presenting work in their thirties (or late twenties) and turn to gravure instead. Other examples include Shiori Usui, Yukari Oshima, Mariko Seyama, and (a little younger) Asako Tani. One weather presenter recently did an alluring lingerie gravure shoot at 50, showing how she barely looks a day older than 30!

Given that Japan’s competitive ranks of female announcers are just as crowded as those of the gravure models, it’s only natural that they should intermingle and pool the talent. More of this, please!
