Nostalgic Idols: Sexy retro Japanese female gravure models

/ Tadashi Anahori
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 ...
We had a little internal vote -- I promise you, nothing like as rigged as recent Russian elections! -- and have decided that our favorite idol for this year is Yukie Kawamura.
Not a newbie on the scene at all (hell, we even made her Idol of the Week a year ago!), but with every viewing she just gets better and better. Combining classy looks with cutesy smiles, a killer slinky body and a generous bust, Yukie gets our votes any day!
Born in 1986 and from cold northern Hokkaido originally, this year Yukie started advertising the Toyota Prius, plus a pachinko slot game ...
The top sexiest haafu half-Japanese models and idols
November 28, 2011
/ Tadashi Anahori
Sometimes it seems that every TV show and every advertisement in Japan features a haafu (half-Japanese, half something else person).
Well, yes, but a lot of these are fairly banal, plain people whose only real talent is having slightly larger eyes and more ambiguous skin. However, I want to introduce you to the haafu who put the "sex" back into "sexy".
Drum roll please. We now present The Sexiest Haafu Ladies!
Melody Yoko Reilly (b. 1988)
Half Irish American. She seems to be a lingerie model among other things. Not sure about much else, but she looks damned ...
Following scandals with drugs -- including another one recently where she fled abroad for a while -- H-cup idol Minako Komukai (小向美奈子) shows no sign of giving up.
After losing her job through telling the truth about the industry (that idols have to have sex to progress into the mainstream entertainment world), previously she turned from idol to stripping, with a very enthusiastic reception.
Then she went the soft core root and appeared in some cheesy light BDSM-themed sex DVDs.
Now she has really thrown her towel in with the big girls. Soft on Demand (SOD) has ...
After generating uproar and surprise when they faked a new CGI member for an ice cream commercial, AKB48 have trumped us again by introducing the "real" Aimi Eguchi.
In front of 90,000 fans during a major concert, "Eguchi" joined the regular gals on stage for an encore!
It later emerged that we had been fooled again by those dastardly ladies! The performer was in fact 15-year-old Yukari Sasaki, who had been the voice behind the Glico Aimi Eguchi commercial, and was wearing special make-up to make her appear like the idol.
That's a tough thing to attempt since Aimi is famously formed of ...
You know you've hit the big leagues in the wonderful world of JAV when you've featured in movies alongside (not to mention occasionally inside) the likes of gyaru goddess Mana Izumi and this writer's perpetual go-to girl, Rumika. So it is with the luscious Kokomi Naruse (sometimes going by the name of Cocomi Naruse or even Cocomin) who'll be providing you with some mouthwatering eye candy this week.
Since debuting in 2008, the Niigata-born 22-year-old has gone from strength to strength, featuring in photo books, collaborative movies and a swath of electrifyingly sexy solo efforts. ...
Not all of us are thrilled by the prospect of watching flimsy, vrooming death-traps circle a few kilometers of track for lap after endless lap as a means of entertainment, but it'd take a heart of stone indeed to not be moved by the charming set of ladies that motorsports bring to the table -- at their lovely feet at least the claim of inducing boredom could never be laid.
In this regard the gorgeous Shoko Hamada is one among many, but one glance at her pics and you'll see she's most definitely in pole position.
'Race Queen', of course, is not the only title to adorn the divine ...
Having to sort the wheat from the chaff is an occupational hazard when endeavouring to bring you guys only the finest ladies Japan has to offer, and in a saturated market it can sometimes be quite the task. There's nothing quite like that feeling though, when you've been stuck wading through garbage only to stumble upon gold. Imagine my joy, then, at having almost given up on this month's issue of GT when, lo and behold, the stunning Natsuki Ikeda plunged out of its pages into my lap.
The Kanagawa-born beauty, who will turn 24 this month, has been slowly-but-surely making a name ...
Sora Aoi: Crossing the cultural divide (through porn)
May 27, 2011
/ Tadashi Anahori
Porn might be illegal in mainland China, but that hasn't stopped amply-bosomed sex-kitten Sora (or Sola) Aoi attaining a level of celebrity there practically unheard of for an adult actress (let alone a Japanese one).
With her Chinese name now registering more than 41 million page hits on Google (exceeding the not-inconsiderable likes of Mao Zedong, Yao Ming and Confucius) the sexy, savvy JAV idol's star is most definitely on the rise.
Having made her AV debut in 2002 (aged 18, in the Alice Japan release Happy Go Lucky!), the now-27-year-old Sora quickly branched out into other ...
In an age when the sheer magnitude of porn readily available to us at any given time quite literally boggles the mind to consider, one could easily go one's entire load-blowing life without having to view a particular girl's scenes more than once. You know you're onto a winner then, when going even a couple of days without revisiting an idol's material feels akin to torture. Which brings us to the divine Airi Mikami.
What this Hokkaido-born 22-year-old might lack in terms of the volume of movies and photobooks she's appeared in thus far, she more than makes up for in her thrilling ...
