This week's sexy Japanese girl is Reimi Tachibana (橘麗美, formerly 立花麗美).
The Gravure idol was born in 1986, Reimi's career has already gone through some tumults, having changed agency and announced her "retirement" on several occasions.
Clearly she isn't happy with the way her work has developed but at any rate, we hope she continues posing for photos like these ...
Here's a real up-and-coming talent, the cute but sensual body of Yuina Shibasaki (芝崎唯奈).
She's only done a couple of DVDs and photo shoots, but we predict big things for ...
It's one of the Japanese entertainment world's worst-kept secrets that minor music and gravure idols moonlight as prostitutes for various kinds of sex shops or services.
Sometimes this precedes their more mainstream bikini modeling careers; sometimes it comes after, when they get too "old" to attract offers of photo books and magazine shoots. And often it runs parallel and you get some very, very lucky customers indeed.
It has come to light that minor pop idol Kokoro Haruno has been one of the notorious moonlighters, the revelation of which possibly caused her agency to sack her and ...
This week we take a long, lingering look at Honoka Ayukawa (鮎川穂乃果).
Born in 1994, Honoka is still a mere 18! That means we have years and years of adoring her cute face and nubile body to look forward ...
Kokone Sasaki (佐々木心音) was born in 1990 and is a model, actress and tarento.
Her career mostly so far has consisted of showing off her shapely body -- in particular, her wonderful butt, unusual for a Japanese girl (but not unique -- check out the superb rear on Sayuki Matsumoto!)
Well, we hope to see a lot MORE of her in the years to ...
After police predicted an unprecedented amount of fans would gather, the last chance to "meet" Atsuko Maeda while she is still a member of terrible pop "music" band AKB48 has been cancelled at the last moment.
On August 20th some five hundred thousand people were in Ginza to watch the victory parade of Japan's returning Olympians (despite many of them putting in slightly mediocre performances). Not sure if half a million were expected to witness pre-solo career Atsuko head to her swan song concert at the AKB theater in Akihabara, but apparently public safety fears prompted a change in ...
Another one bites the dust. Yuko Sugamoto from HKT48, the Fukuoka spin-off of AKB48, has announced she is quitting. It is an open secret that this is due to her management finding out about a "relationship" she had, including possibly drinking and smoking with a fan.
However, the official line is that all she did was exchange email addresses and answer a mail... which hardly seems taboo-breaking to us.
Japanese girls are just not allowed to have relationships if they are in an idol group. Heaven forbid that reality infringe on the "pure" fantasy that their management have crafted so ...
This week's scrumptious starlet is Mitsu Dan, a Gravure idol born in 1980.
Particularly voluptuous and sexy, Mitsu has also frequently been called bisexual.
We really like Mitsu because she has a kind of old school beauty and, despite being a Gravure model, her photo shoots have a slightly nostalgic feel, like in the pre-AKB ...
Born in 1986, Hitomi is a model and professional ...
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 ...
