Aki Mizusawa: the bankrupt 1980s gravure pin-up and actress back in the limelight

/ Tadashi Anahori
What happens after gravure idols hang up their bikinis and try to move on in their careers is a question that fascinates us.
Most crash and burn, but in the meantime manage to find a nice husband in the industry who will take care of them.
The tale of Aki Mizusawa is an interesting one.
Born in 1959, she was a gravure pin-up during the 1980s.
In between winning the hearts of men around the nation, she found time to have an affair with Jackie Chan, a well-known philanderer, in Spain in 1984.
She was also working as a singer during this time.
She sealed her sex siren reputation by ...
It's been a while but it's time to feast our eyes on another gorgeous Japanese lady.
This time we have chosen up-and-coming idol Mai Ishioka.
The Aichi Prefecture lass was born in 1990 and lists visiting shrines as her hobby. Her pure looks and very svelte body are quickly winning the Tokyo Kinky team ...
Japanese fetish #587: Gravure idol Shoko Takasaki strips off her armor

Japanese television at its finest indeed.
Fuji TV have released a preview to "Yoroi Bijo", the show we wrote about last week.
The concept is seductively simple: Gravure idols wear the suits of armor of famous samurai, then take them off piece by piece while talking about the history of the warrior. They are then revealed in their underwear beside all the shiny metal armor. That's it.
The first show, which was broadcast on April 17th, features Gravure model Shoko Takasaki in the armor of Date Masamune.
Here's the preview.
No prizes for guessing that this is aimed at ...
Japanese gravure models wear samurai armor, strip off, write calligraphy

We heard and blogged about this a few days ago but only now have nice pictures emerged.
And what pictures they are...
A new Fuji TV show called "Yoroi Bijo" (Armor Beautiful Girl) features hot gravure models putting on and taking off suits of armor, known in Japanese as kacchu or yoroi.
As we know from a recent example, Japanese TV is not averse to some pretty risque and bizarre concept shows.
So if you have a thing for girls wearing shiny armor and other medieval costumes, then this is definitely the TV show for you.
The ladies wear the armor to demonstrate how nice and heavy it is. ...
Our immaculate specimen this week is Yuno Akuzawa.
Born in May 1990 in Fukuoka Prefecture, Yuno likes cooking and yoga.
She is a nice 174cm in height, which makes for a fine, long figure... and wonderful legs. Of course, all that height also means a nice bust too.
Here she is in a recent shoot for Playboy March 2015 and elsewhere. A future star of the gravure scene, we ...
Haruna Kojima strips off for Weekly Playboy, new photo book

The career of Haruna Kojima (known as Kojiharu to her fans) may be on the wane, having lost the lucrative Peach John lingerie modeling gig to Saeko and her sizzling charm.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't have the power still to shift magazines.
To launch her new photo book, Kojiharu has been featured on the cover of Playboy magazine. Inside is a sweet photo shoot showing off her pale body.
There is some serious Photoshop going on here, though. Kojiharu famously has very sensitive skin and close-ups on TV usually reveal this.
Her new photo book is called Dou suru? (What shall we do?) ...
Which women do Japanese men most want to date?
March 18, 2015
/ Tadashi Anahori
No, it's not AV idols or even Gravure idols. Nor is it exotic or glamorous fashion models.
It's very mainstream actresses with charming personalities.
Almost all the ladies have "cute" girl-next-door faces rather than sensual, "beautiful" looks.
The number one lady that Japanese men said they most wanted to date was... Haruka Ayase, who also came out top of last year's survey. Local guys like ditzy girls, it seems.
Second was Satomi Ishihara, up from fourth place. It might be all those Aeon English school ads she has been doing. A girl who can speak English (albeit with a ...

After cancer battle, AV idol Yuma Asami starts new career as singer

/ Tadashi Anahori
You might think you've seen all that Yuma Asami has to offer. Having viewed her ample talents on graphic display in her vast catalog of AV titles, what more could she have to show us?
Quite a lot, actually.
The 27-year-old is now trying her hand at being a singer.
"Re-Start: To Tomorrow" goes on release on May 20th.
Yuma Asami has already been a Gravure model and dabbled in music as a member of the Ebisu Muscats, which broke up in 2013. This was a tough year for Yuma, since she started her now famous battle with ovarian cancer. Today her treatment is over and she is ...
