Our lovely girl this week is the star of the moment, gravure model Miwako Kakei (筧美和子). Miwako has a huge pair of breasts (the only issue here is what they look like when she gets older) and these have helped her burst into the limelight. Born in 1994, she released her first photo book last year and, having only just turned 20, looks set to continue to ride the gravure idol career wagon for many years to ...

With the girls ever younger and the pressure to appear wrinkle-free and with the softest of skin that can stand up to iPad zooms, how do once popular Gravure models maintain a career after they hit 30? Mayumi Ono (小野真弓) was never a mega star in the idol world. Her D-cup and girl-next-door made her look like a sexy TV presenter. She had fans but not legions of them. We liked her before and treated ourselves to a selection of images for an Idol of the Week a couple of years ago. So now she's 31, how can she give her thirteen-year career a second boost now that it has started to ...

Japan spends 1% of its national budget on its army. Sorry, it's not an army, it's a "self-defense force." However, Japan's security treaty with America is supposed to guarantee US protection if attacked -- the ostensible reason for the tens of thousands of US soldiers based in Japan -- so the SDF is kind of pointless. It mainly gets used for when there are earthquakes and other emergencies. Saying that, Japan spends more on its SDF than, say, the UK does on its armed forces -- even though the latter's are active around the whole world. Where does the money go? Equipment. The SDF has some ...

We like slightly larger girls. Girls with a little bit of curve to them. The recent naked butt of Ayaka Sayama was enough to get our blood racing. A new Japanese idol group called Chubbiness showcases girls who are, not surprisingly, a little larger. The ten ladies will be making their professional debut in March. What do you think? Will these idols be a hit? There has been a bit of a surge in interest in large ladies of late, including popular comediennes and even a fashion magazine devoted to pocchari women. While Chubbiness are a little too, well, chubby for our ...

Ayaka Sayama, one of our favorite gravure idols, not least because she's nice and shapely, has gone all wintry with this nude photo shoot. While Ayaka Sayama is no stranger to posing in just a bikini that barely holds in her charmingly curvy frame, this is a whole new level for her. Still only twenty years old, what is next for Ayaka? A "hair nude" full frontal at twenty-one?! Well, enough blabber. Here's the spread... and what a voluptuous feast for the ...

We love selfies. Correction: we love to look at cute girls' selfies. In Korea there are plenty of lingerie selfies out there. What about Japanese girls? Well, there Jigadoribu, or "selfie club", which features a stunning array of a Japanese Gravure models posing for selfies. The images are drawn from the models' own Twitter accounts as they take behind-the-scenes snaps (of varying quality) from their latest photo shoots or just showing off their bodies at home, whether in lingerie, cosplay or just ordinary wardrobes. The models co-operate in the scheme by tagging their ...

Now this is a woman! When those idol group girls graduate and put a few more years on them, this is what they become. Behold, Machiko Tezuka! The 27-year-old hottie was a former SKE48 idol group member who then joined SDN48 for a while. She has had a rather peripatetic career, as these minor idols often do, including joining Seifuku Koji Iinkai for a time in 2002. In 2004 she changed her professional name to Ourei Harada to become a Gravure idol. She then promptly retired in 2007. And then in 2009 she changed it to Eiko Maeda for when she joined in SKE48. And then she ...

The lovely Hinako Sano is one of the most up-and-coming gravure idols in Japan today. Her exquisite cuteness, coupled with a great body, have seen her rise to fame in almost no time. Still just 19, her career may be about to come to a premature stumbling block. A photo has recently leaked online *seemingly* showing Hinako in an embrace with a young guy. Is this Hinako? We can't tell. Either way, we CAN imagine doing what he's doing to Hinako. There's a way to find out. Track down the university that Hinako attends and go get her into bed to compare the shots! Whether or not this ...

The year is almost over. It's time to look back over the past twelve months at the ladies who made the biggest impression. Here are our picks, in alphabetical order. Haruka Ayase The former idol is now a respected actress and one who confidently assured the country that she need not be typecast in the ditzy girl-next-door roles anymore when she took the lead in the year-long Taiga drama, "Yae no Sakura". We still love her curves, though. Mitsu Dan Another big year for the thirtysomething curvy lady. She seemed to be on everyone's lips, figuratively speaking. She even ...

It's an open secret that many gravure idols and Japanese TV celebrities use plastic surgery to enhance their appearance. While this is even more prevalent in Korea and relatively openly admitted to, it is still seen as a bit of a deception in Japan. How do the girls get that innocent doll-like look? Often not just through their genes, it seems. Only does the occasional lady break the silence and tell the truth. One idol and actress attracting attention at the moment is cute Rika Adachi, who has a very lovely pert butt, not to mention a very "pure" face. At a recent event Twitter users ...
