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 ...
As we get older, we appreciate the charms and beauty of older women more. But it's far from the case that we ignored jukujo during our own salad days. Far from it, we have long sung the praises of Japanese cougars and MILF on these digital pages, as regular readers will know.
A jukujo (roughly, "mature woman") is rather loosely defined, and is often applied liberally to any woman past her "prime" (i.e., her twenties). This is nebulous, of course, and most Japanese women in their thirties would shirk from the label, though various celebrities have embraced it and turned it into their whole ...
Put the media's obsession with youth to one side. Japanese women, we can attest by direct experience, are still very attractive in their forties.
As noted before on this blog, former TV announcer Mariko Seyama has spent years tantalizing us with her body, before finally showing her breasts at the age of 41.
After enjoying the shots of her nipples visible through see-through clothing from her photo book, "Milk," released last year, we found more nude pictures from a magazine shoot.
Sure, she's shown off her naked butt before, but these are very nice and really flaunt her newly slimmed-down ...
Japan is known for its large numbers of seniors. Not only are seniors numerically significant -- almost 30% of the population are over 65 -- but they still dominate politics, bureaucracy, and even entertainment, with older people (especially men) remaining in respected positions.
This can lead to trouble.
After the notorious case earlier this year with former prime minister Yoshiro Mori's comments about women talking too much in meetings that cost him his job as head of the Tokyo Olympics comes another example, this time involving Kazuo Tokumitsu, who is a sprightly 80 years ...
Some of us get more conservative the older we get. Misumi Shiochi gets nuder the older she gets.
The 39-year-old jukujo and former TV announcer has now firmly settled into her role in the gravure industry as the current ara-four ("around 40") lady of the moment that men want to sleep with, perhaps especially if they are the same age.
Her latest photo shoot shows off her G-cup breasts (though without actually showing off her nipples) and gives us some great views on her ass and nude back.
The pictures are highlights from her new photo book, "Nocturne," which came out in Japan on September ...
What to do when your career as a weather forecaster is faltering? Strip off for a weekly magazine, it seems.
Well, it's hard to say what the precise motives are for Mian Shirasaka (白坂みあん), the 21-year-old beauty who holds a qualification as a weather forecaster (often held by weather presenters) and whose meteorological broadcasting career is surely just starting.
But that hasn't stopped her from moving to her backup plan, which was apparently not only trying her hand at gravure but at a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot as well. Talk about jumping in at the deep end.
The shoot is ...
Mariko Seyama (脊山麻理子) has shown us herself at her most naked yet.
After years of teasing with lingerie shoots and semi-nudes, the 41-year-old has finally stripped to reveal more of her body. While she has sadly stopped short of full nude (the "hair nude," as it is known in the industry), her new photo book shows her in see-through lingerie that reveals her nipples. In addition, she generously flashes us her naked butt, though we have seen this wonder before.
"Milk" is released in Japan on July 1.
She joined a new agency last year, perhaps signaling a shift in ...
Japanese announcers are the ladies to follow if you want intelligence and grace.
Forget the gravure idols and all their busty, curvy charms. Forget the porn stars with their sexual prowess. Forget the music idols and their cute girl-next-door looks.
It's the announcers that everyone really wants to marry. Case in point, the wildly popular Minami Tanaka.
The 37-year-old Yukari Oshima (大島由香里) has now released her first photo book as part of her new stage in her career.
Married to a figure skated from 2016 to 2019 and now a freelance announcer, Oshima already wowed the internet ...
It has been a somewhat peculiar November in Tokyo.
The annual changing of the leaves has duly appeared, transforming the trees around the city and creating piles of crisp leaves to jump in.
It has also been unseasonably hot on some days, almost like an Indian summer.
And it has been windy, with blustery days sending the fallen leaves into swirls in the air.
All very Instagrammable, yes, but so what? Well, we spotted this unfortunate side effect of the windy days.
A TV presenter on Fuji TV's show Mezamashi TV was giving a live report on the weather when the wind blow hard against her. ...
Is there anything more attractive than a smart, older woman?
Born in 1984, Yukari Oshima (大島由香里) is a former Fuji TV announcer who is now a freelance presenter. Adding some more to her résumé, she is now making a late transition into gravure with this semi-nude shoot that shows off her beautiful, kissable back in particular.
Here are some factoids about Yukari that may or may not make her even more attractive: she's 36 (a ripe jukujo!), divorced, and a mother.
This is, as far as we know, her first proper gravure-style shoot.
The most successful recent example ...
