The polls closed in Japan on Sunday and the votes are in, but the results are inconclusive: the Liberal Democratic Party has lost its House of Representatives majority for the first time in 15 years, but neither did any of the opposition parties win a majority. Things are now in flux as the LDP attempts to build a coalition so it can form a government.
One thing's for sure, though: Japan's new hottest politician is duly elected Chisato Morishita.
The 43-year-old singleton has succeeded in her second attempt at becoming a lawmaker, having previously lost in 2021.
The former race queen, ...
Former race queen and gravure idol Chisato Morishita is committed to launching a career as a politician for the conservative Liberal Democratic Party.
As reported here before, she stood for election in Miyagi Prefecture in 2021. Though ultimately unsuccessful, she is still hoping to win a seat at the next election. By chance, we actually passed through the area earlier this year and saw lots of posters for her dotting the landscape.
Now aged 42, the unmarried Morishita was one of the biggest gradols in the late 2000s and a regular face on TV. Her last gravure shoot was in around 2019 with ...
The Lower House election in Japan was held on Sunday -- yes, Halloween. The populace elected a bunch of ghouls and monsters to represent them.
One person who failed in their first bid to win a seat was the former gravure idol Chisato Morishita. Now aged 40 and still looking great, Morishita was trying to get elected in Miyagi as a candidate backed by the conservative LDP (who won the election overall). She got 61,410 votes (the ultimate winner got 81,033 votes, securing their ninth continuous term).
As we reported earlier in the year, she has been campaigning since the spring. (In Japan, ...
What can gravure idols do after their careers dry up? We have chronicled many intriguing responses to this classic conundrum. But how about becoming a politician?
That's what the one-time gradol and tarento Chisato Morishita is apparently trying to do.
Originally a race queen, Morishita was a big star in the gravure world and a fairly regular face on TV in the 2000s, winning popularity in bikini shoots that accentuated her slinky body and F-cup bust. After several photo books, however, her career stalled as she entered her thirties. She instead started teaching golf and published a novel in ...
Back in the 2000s, when we first start doing this blog, one of our favorite gravure idols was Chisato Morishita.
Now 37 and officially retired from gravure, the ravishing Chisato has nonetheless been tempted back to glamor modeling for a new photo shoot.
It's her first gravure shoot in ten years and it's a triumphant homecoming for the lady who has now gloriously entered jukujo territory. It was recently showcased on Japanese TV.
Chisato was a race queen and then a gradol, before moving into mainstream television presenting and some acting. Her career has dried up a little of late. She ...
Much like the yaeba snaggletooth phenomenon, the Japanese trend of the duck face has both fascinated and revolted foreigners.
Japanese girls make the duck-face pout (ahiru-guchi) as they think it makes them look cute and attractive to men. You look "dumb" and submissive, and, since Japanese ladies don't usually have much in the way of busts or butts they have to make up for it by charming gentlemen with their faces.
Classic duck-face advocates include Tomomi Itano from AKB48, singer Yuki, and voice actress Aya Hirano, though it can look sexier in the context.
It was first used in the ...
To celebrate the Tokyo Motor Show currently running in the Tokyo Bay area, we wanted to introduce readers to a real Japanese tradition: the race Qqeen.
The local equivalent of "pit babes" and a cynical promotional tool that no one complains about, the race queen can be found posing next to a race car while it is being serviced between circuits. Motor shows and other trade events also often employ similarly hot ladies to pout by a booth but generally are more clothed than the archetypal race queen.
Soft on Demand has in the past supplied JAV porn stars for some events, and idols and ...
I heard yesterday that one of my fav idols was involved in a car accident. Thankfully, she -- and her assets -- were not injured!
The twenty-eight year-old gal gives new meaning to slinky and sexy, as the photos below show! Check out her F-cup bust! We're also looking forward to the movie Parade, coming out later this year, starring Chisato and the model ...
