Nostalgic Idols: Sexy retro Japanese female gravure models

Sometimes the oldies are the best.

We all love our sexy idols today but I also enjoy a good perv over the ladies big in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Their bikinis might not be as hot. The shots might be a little old-fashioned. But man, they still look damn fine!

Here’s a small selection of some of the best of Japan’s nostalgic idols!

Kanako Nakajo (b. 1973) is a former gravure model who made her debut in 1991. She got married to a baseball player and left the entertainment world in the late 1990s.

The actress Atsuko Asano (b. 1960) was big in the 1970s from her teenaged years, especially popular with young men. We can see why… She went nude in Eros Eterna (1977).

Ayako Moriguchi (b. 1969) was a model in the 1980s, before switching her name in the 1990s and trying her hand at acting.

Chiemi Hori (b. 1967) was a singer and model who suddenly quit at the height of her fame, aged just twenty. However, she was soon back. She’s been married and divorced twice, and has five children.

Kumiko Takeda (b. 1968) famously married an American and moved to the States. Much missed for her sexy voluptuous looks…

Naoko Iijima (b. 1968) is quite a survivor. From her idol days to regular TV tarento, she has had the longest career of all these ladies, though partly this is likely because she married and divorced quickly, and then returned to showbiz (though sadly not to bikini modeling).
