Feast your eyes on Yuki Mogami (最上ゆき), aka Yuki Mamiya.
Born in March 1991, the Nagoya-bred lady blends a perfect mixture of "Japanese beauty" with the genuinely sexy.
It's rare for an idol like this to succeed, not succumbing to the whole "cute" fetish nor just surrendering to total sluttiness.
She looks just a girl you might see on the train any day. And yet she is utterly, heart-renderingly hot.
She has recently also done that odd idol thing of "re-launching" her "brand" by changing her name from Yuki Mogami to Yuki Mamiya ...
2013 might already be into March already but some people are still making calendars for the forthcoming year.
Buttah, a curry restaurant in central Osaka, has made this Bijin Curry Calendar, a series of alluring shots of "semi-nude" girls and, well, curry.
Formerly a photo series that featured in a Kansai fashion magazine that finished in 2010, the calendars by Buttah have been going since 2011 and increasing every year (though, to be fair, even for 2013 there are just 200 copies, so we're talking esoteric tastes here).
Food and the erotic. That's our kinda ...
The idol of the moment is Mitsu Dan, who just appears to be in every magazine and also a lot of mainstream TV shows as well. Could she stand a chance of breaking out into the regular tarento world?
She is being presented as a jukujo with a curvy, erotic body. In fact, she is barely in her thirties so this is a bit misleading.
Anyway, her popularity is creating some bizarre appearances and collaborations, including this music video she has made SoulJax and Maiko Nakamura.
While it's hardly a work of genius, it does show Dan Mitsu's "talents" to their full -- lounging around in ...
Gravure idol Asuka Kishi (岸 明日香) is famed for her G-cup bust and 58cm waist.
The 1991-born, former race queen is these days a popular idol who has just released her fourth DVD, in which she shows off her lavish body in maid costumes, bikinis, and more in Saipan.
As part of the "preparation" her bust grew 2cm to a whopping 90cm.
Now that's dedication to your ...
Some sad news to start 2013: Babe Maomi Yuuki is getting married.
Maomi (32) will marry her boyfriend, a hair stylist aged 35 this June. They met through work last May, which I guess proves that once over the magic three-oh, girls like to get hitched quick!
Maomi is often classified as an intenri josei tarento (brainy female TV personality) -- a perhaps rather unjustified label, given that essentially she is a model.
At the end of the day, she is a minor TV celebrity famous for being a bit pretty and doing lingerie shoots.
She is particularly ...
Our lady this week is the very, very lovely Manami Marutaka (丸高愛美).
Aimi was born in 1990 and is a noted gravure model growing in popularity, not least for her nice D-cup and winning ...
This lovely lady has 22 boyfriends. And before you start jumping to conclusions and calling her a slut, she regards them all as serious ones!
When Hatsuho Tani (22) was asked recently by a Japanese tabloid if she felt bad for being so active in romance, she replied that she loves each guy in a different way.
She must also possess a superhuman memory too since she claims to remember all their various conversations!
Hatsuho is a "burikko"-type tarento and model -- in other words, she pretends to be dumb.
This is apparently very charming to Japanese men, who like a girl who looks up ...
It's been a while since we showcased a hot Japanese model, so here's someone to warm up your wintry lives...
Ayame Misaki (水崎綾女) was born in 1989 in Kobe (she lived in a refugee camp for some time following the 1995 Hanshin earthquake) and is growing in recognition as one of Japan's sauciest gravure ...
Noriko Sakai, the former popular singer and tarento whose career was ended a few years ago by the shocking revelation that she and her then husband were drug fiends, is currently trying to make a comeback following a spell in prison.
She faces big problems, not least the distrust of the public, broadcasters and the all important corporate sponsors. She is also laced with billions of yen in debt from her previous agency due to repayment of fees from sponsors for breaking contracts.
She is appearing in a play this December, which should give her some money, though it is said not to be ...
There's hope for us all yet.
We were all a bit sad when SDN48 -- the "sexy" version of AKB48, as if those girls weren't sexualized enough! -- disbanded in March this year.
Megumi Ohori was one of the groups "talents" and she was also a minor member of AKB48 once upon a time.
The 29-year old cutie had a surprise for everyone when she took part in a special public reunion event at the AKB48 Theater to celebrate the venue's seventh anniversary.
She has got married!
She is the first former AKB48 member to get married.
And her choice of partner? Rest easy, ...
