Well, the big news in the Japanese celebrity world has been the sudden announcement by Meisa Kuroki and Jin Akanishi, formerly of boyband KAT-TUN, that they were married!
Yep, you've guessed it, yet another example of the now customary celebrity dekikon, or shotgun wedding. Meisa is said to be two months pregnant!
I don't know, I think this kinda embarrassing. I wouldn't want the world to know that my boyfriend doesn't use condoms when he screws me or that I don't have the intelligence to know that nakadashi ain't too sensible for the working woman!
I'm sure their respective ...
Our last nostalgic idols post was such a hit with the boys that I just had to think of some more.
This time I turned my retro eye to actress and idol Kumiko Takeda. Born in 1968, Kumiko is a voluptuous, well-bosomed lady who starred in plenty of movies and TV dramas throughout the 1980s, along with some ravishingly sexy nude shoots that make today's coquettish AKB48 idols look like children (well, that's because basically they are!). She is famous for her "shell bikini" shoot.
She actually married an American and moved out to the States, thus effectively ending her career in Japan ...
Idol Sayaka Yoshino (29), after being outed by a tabloid media, has finally confirmed on her official blog that she is married.
While this is news sad enough in itself, then comes two bits of intriguing details.
She was married in September 2010 but did not say so until now, apparently out of deference to the March 11th, 2011 earthquake (WTF? How is that relevant?), but more likely in order to protect her reputation as a desirable gal that men would still in theory be able to bang if they fantasize hard enough!
The other juice titbit is that her new(ish) hubby is ...
Yoko Mitsuya was born in 1984. A gravure idol with a lovely E cup, she has had a handful of supporting roles in movies and TV series.
More idols of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Top idols AKB48 have been promoting almost every product in Japan recently and prominent among the campaigns has been the one for travel agency H.I.S.
Though you sadly can't actually book a trip with any of the lovely ladies, you can go some of the way there with the latest addition to the marketing smorgasbord: An AKB48 augmented reality app for smartphones!
From August 22 to September 30, guys up and down the land are going to be occupied with oen thing only -- the AKB48 Augmented Reality Stamp Rally. After downloading the free app, uou have to go to branches of H.I.S. and read the AR ...
AKB48, eat your heart(s) out!
Marshmallow 3D are the new sexiest idol group in town. They even let you have a fondle of their breasts!
While the AKB48 meet-and-greet sessions with their fans regularly descend into chaos (fans not interested in certain group members, others not wanting to let go after shaking the hand of the idol), I reckon this kind of idea could be even more disastrous.
They're letting people have a good grope on television, for a price, naturally...Certainly is a little bit more 3D than the likes of Avatar managed!
Amazingly this was not just gratuitous ...
