There are lots of rumors or open secrets about Gravure idols and minor celebrities in Japan. One is that plastic surgery is rampant. Another is that sex with management is common -- and a necessity to progress in the industry.
Another has been proved true by the recent experience of one of the most popular Gravure models working in Japan today, Yuu Tejima.
Yuu, known for her huge I-cup breasts, has admitted that she will turn -- dramatic drum roll! -- 30 next month. Previously she and her agency took two years off her real age so that she would seem younger in the early part of ...
The Perfect Summer Treat: Tokyo Idol Festival 2012
July 11, 2012
/ Tadashi Anahori
Forget the summer matsuri festivals, the fireworks and even the music festivals. The place to be this August is the Tokyo Idol Festival 2012.
Happening out at Odaiba in Tokyo Bay, this event has been taking place since 2010 as Japan's first mainstream idol festa and must be the best counter-programming to mainstream summer events.
The packed line-up includes a host of idols and otaku girl groups, including SKE48, and also top sexy model appearances, like Risa Yoshiki.
Okay, we're be honest, some of the idol groups are basically girls who can't be even 13 yet, which is hardly ...
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 ...
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 ...
I would like to introduce all of you to a wonderful little lady I have just had the pleasure of coming across during one of my romps through the internet, the amazing Arisu (sometimes Alice) Miyuki.
This sexy little minx was a model and TV announcer in the north in Hokkaido before she joined the JAV industry. She was publicly against anything to do with the adult entertainment industry for years, but after harvesting all that emotion against it, she found that she came to actually love it. Wanting everyone to know the real her, she headed into a studio of her own will and debuted in ...
During my travels out on the internet I have recently found out that lovely Japanese Gravure Yoko Matsugane takes golf lessons...in her bikini.
Over at Japan Sugoi I found out that not only Yoko Matsugane but other sexy gravure idols, such as Shiori Kawana and Yuka Suzuki, have been making videos of these golf lessons and they have been quite successful.
Here's a sexy little clip of the mountain chested Matsugane getting some putting tips.
And another of the 28-year-old trying to grasp the club around her giant H-cup chest.
I would personally like to see what happens ...
Ever since we blogged about the AXE promotional public bath in front of Shinjuku station last week I've only been able to think of the amazing G-cups of Anri Sugihara.
The sexy, supposedly single, 28-year-old Gravure idol was also named one of the top six swimsuit models in Japan last month according to Entertainment Dash Magazine, a Japanese periodical which usually honors young ladies for their...assets.
Something tells me we're going to keep seeing this lovely lady for quite some time unless she meets a guy who doesn't use protection and ends up like Yuki Yamamoto or ...
Gravure idols promote AXE in Shinjuku with a public bath and their boobs
September 15, 2010
/ Tadashi Anahori
What do you get when you put three sexy gravure idols in bikinis into a bath out in front of Shinjuku Station? A whole lot of guys stopping to look at their boobs.
Many popular idols appeared in groups of threes at the AXE promotion event held September 10th to the 12th including big names like Sayuri Anzu, Akina Aoshima, Yuuri Morishita and (a personal favorite of mine) Maya Koizumi, according to Walker plus.
During their shifts, the bouncy promoters were supposed to show the average man how much fun it can be to have a bath. Too bad a lot of guys probably didn't realize while ...
