When you are a celebrity in Japan, your body is fair game for TV show commentators. In fact, they may well pull up a photo while you are on the air and spend minutes parsing its details with you. Even to the extent of zooming in on the body parts for glimpses of nudity.
Model and announcer Minami Tanaka is about to release her debut photo book. As part of the promotion, she has launched an Instagram account to fevered expectation.
But perhaps she got more than she bargained for when she appeared on TV and the host ended up trying to see if he could spot her nipple in a particular photo. Now ...
We already reported last week on the joyful news that the debut photo book by TV announcer Minami Tanaka (田中みな実) would take her firmly into gravure territory with a semi-nude shoot.
Now a few snaps showing how things looked behind the scenes have appeared and they confirmed firstly what a stunning pair of legs Minami has and also that the photo book is certainly worth getting excited about.
The as-yet untitled photo book is scheduled to hit shelves in December. We can't wait to see the final ...
The TV announcer Minami Tanaka (田中みな実) has rewarded her legions of fans with her first photo book. Moreover, it's not a tame one.
While the 32-year-old Tanaka stops short of actual nudity, the preview images show plenty of bust and butt. What a stunner.
Her debut photo book, as yet untitled, goes on sale from December 13th and apparently includes "suppin" shots where she is ostensibly wearing no makeup on her face. (There is something of a trend among celebrities right now to do suppin shoots and selfies.)
Tanaka was actually born in New York, though she moved to Japan ...
Former news presenter and anchor Shiori Usui, who had appeared on the TBS Tohoku Broadcasting channel, has opted for a different career move altogether by posing for an alluring lingerie shoot.
The gravure shoot was published in weekly tabloid magazine recently and revels in her middle-class looks and allure (you can imagine taking this lady home to meet your folks), combined with the more raw sexiness of the lingerie (and swimsuit) that shows off her toned yet slender body.
Born in 1990, Shiori Usui is a graduate of Tokyo's prestigious Hosei ...
This is us raiding the adult archives again but it's an interesting and cautionary tale. Back in autumn 2015, a tabloid published what was alleged to be leaked photos showing sex between the TV announced Yumi Makino and a man.
Her partner was allegedly the well-known (and married) pastry chef Morihide Yoshida, who has won awards and is a frequent face on television. He was identified by his distinctive haircut.
The scandal impacted Makino's career. She left broadcasting in September last year, possibly as a result of work drying up after the scandal. The sex photos ...
Anan is the thinking man's soft-core porn mag. The weeklies like Playboy are fantastic in their way, but it's Anan -- ostensibly a magazine about fashion and lifestyle for women -- that continues to deliver some of the best shocks. Namely, this is persuading mainstream celebrities to strip off and pose for alluring photo shoots.
While the women in question usually stop short of actual nudity, the results are as attention-grabbing as a "hair nude" full-frontal shoot in some cases.
Previous examples of this trend include Yui Ichikawa, Nanao, Maomi Yuuki, Kazue Fukiishi, Ryoko Yonekura, and a ...
In 2015, Nippon Television landed in hot water when it rescinded a job offer for a college graduate after it found out she had experience as a Ginza hostess. Rina Sasazaki took the broadcaster to court and won a settlement as well as her original job offer back again.
Here's a similar cautionary tale.
Kayo Matsumoto is a freelance TV presenter (called "announcers" in Japan). She was forced to leave TV Aichi in September 2014 after her dabbling in porn was exposed. As we know, the AV industry is absolutely huge and every year an army of women debut in porn. Most have short careers and an ...
For all their rabid consumption of Japanese porn, a large amount of men in the country actually fantasize about marrying a different sort of girl.
The TV "announcer".
These are the intelligent girls who graduated from such colleges as Sophie University, she kind of girl you can have a conversation with and not be bored, and who would cook you something that goes with wine.
Women like Christel Takigawa, the thinking man's crumpet.
Ryoko Mima was born in 1984. For many years the weather presenter on a TBS morning show, she has been a been a middle-class favorite for a while -- ...
Following reader Uego Munst's recent request, we've put together a collection of some Japanese "announcer" (TV presenter) hotties.
First up, everyone's woman of the moment -- Yuko Aoki (b. 1983), who recently got married is rumored to be getting married.
Yoshie Takeuchi (b. 1986) is apparently super popular in China right now and with her chipper, girl-next-door looks, we can see why.
Tomoko Kogou was born in 1978 and works for NHK. She's more the thinking man's crumpet kind of lady.
A younger lady is Mai Yamagishi (b. 1987), a TV presenter with a touch of the gyaru ...
After being snapped going home with her boyfriend recently (I love the smile on her face, is she thinking about the upcoming hanky-panky?), the hot haafu Japanese-French TV presenter Hélène Hayama has announced she is to marry.
There's been lots of celebrity marriages announced in the past few weeks, including singer Takako Uehara, Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun, and model Miyuki Koizumi (pictured below).
So, here's the big question: Does it mean you no longer find the girl or idol so hot?
Or take a lovely actress like Yuka Itaya. She's just had a second child. Does that lessen ...
