Aya Sakata as a Cute School Girl

Japanese teen fashion model and gravure idol AYA SAKATA looks so cute wearing a traditional Japanese school girl sailor uniform posing at a small train station in the countryside.  Aya is wearing the winter spec “sailor fuku” like a good girl should with the skirt at the proper length.  The Under 19 cutie with the innocent eyes and warm smile began her career as a model exclusively for Japanese teen fashion magazine Love Berry in 2003.  Aya Sakata (坂田彩) was also a finalist in the 2005 Seikore (制コレ, All Japan High School Girl Uniform Collection) gravure idol contest.

Haruka Suenaga (末永遥) is no stranger to Japanese showbiz.  She began her career at the age of 5 as a magazine model and commercial actress.  The forever 15 looking cutie belongs to JVC Entertainment management agency.

The ambitious Sayaka Araki (荒木さやか) models exclusively for Japanese gyaru magazine Koakuma Ageha (小悪魔ageha).  She officially debuted as a DJ earlier this year under the name DJ A☆Lucky and is the president of her own company that sells beauty supplies.

Natsuki Kato Sues Ex Boyfriend

Ex-boyfriend, money trouble, break up, deception, betrayal and blackmail.  This story’s got Hollywood script written all over…except it’s happening in Japanese showbiz.  It has been learned last Thursday that Japanese fashion model and actress Natsuki Kato (加藤夏希) filed a lawsuit in Tokyo District Court against her former manager and ex-boyfriend.  The lawsuit is asking for roughly $300,000 in damages.

According to court papers the defendant was the acting manager for the sexy and slender Akita Prefecture native between May of 2006 and February of this year.  At some point during that time Natsuki and the man began dating.  The former manager persuaded Natsuki that she should entrust him to open up a savings account and hand over at least $1000 per month, to which she agreed to.  But instead of depositing her money, Natsuki’s ex-boyfriend blew all of it on gambling and lots of fun time at the brothel.  Currently 24 years old, the self professed anime and video game otaku Natsuki Kato became suspicious of her ex-manager’s activities about a year into their relationship and demanded to end it.  However, her big spending ex blackmailed her by threatening to expose their relationship including their private photos so she relunctantly continued dating him.

Earlier this year Natsuki Kato couldn’t take it any longer and finally brought this matter to the president of her management agency, Dimension Blue.  After being confronted the defendant owned up to the accusation, but then suddenly changed his attitude and refused to return any of the money he embezzled.  As things got tense Natsuki’s ex-boyfriend brought his parents into this entangled battle and has since switched his stance by denying the plaintiff’s claims.

I really feel sorry for Natsuki as $300,000 is no small amount and I’m sure she busted her behind to earn that money.  But the good thing is the Japanese fashion model is only 24.  With her good looks and hot body and entering the prime of her career, I’m confident she’ll be able to make up her loss in no time at all.  Hell, we might even get a nude photobook out of this ordeal!

Japanese Fashion Model Hinano Yoshikawa Shows Some Skin

Today we’ve got the sexy Japanese fashion model Hinano Yoshikawa (吉川ひなの) in bikini.  It’s a bit hard to believe but Hinano is shedding her clothes for the first time since she made her debut at the tender age of 13!  This Tokyo beauty with a baby face and huge eyes sure looks hot on the beach and I agree with Sankei Sports‘ fearless estimate that her breasts are at least a D cup!

Hinano’s gravure spread appears in Japanese fashion magazine Glamorous and was shot on the island of Oahu.  The 168cm (5′6″) tall Japanese fashion model commented that she had to go on a strict diet a week before the shoot.  I’m glad to see that she didn’t lose any volume up on top!

Japanese Celebrity Swimsuit Ranking

Japanese music and pop culture ranking authority Oricon (オリコン) released another top 10 list for the summer.  This time they asked both Japanese men and women what female celebrity they’d most like to see in a swimsuit.  Below is the result:

No. 1 – Aki Hoshino (ほしのあき)

The queen bee and most senior Japanese gravure idol continues to reign!  Comments from the survey included, “She’s got such an awesome body” and “When it comes to swimsuit I can only think about Aki Hoshino!”

No. 2 – Akina Minami (南明奈)

Akina was orginally scouted while shopping with her mom in the Harajuku district of Tokyo when she was in the 6th grade.  She brought up comments like, “She’s slender and has a nice body shape” and “Her bright image goes well with summer.”

No. 3 – Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里)

Who’s a better supermodel than Ebi-chan to represent in a bikini?  Yuri has the body and Shiseido knows it, as she’s been the spokesperson for their ANESSA line of sun block lotion for quite a few years.  People said, “She’s got the perfect style as a model” and “She’s both sexy and refreshing to look at.”

No. 4 – Yukina Kinoshita (木下優樹菜)

The 21 year old fashion model and talent got her showbiz career started when she was chosen to be an image spokesperson for Japanese swimwear maker San’ai (三愛).  From there she began modeling for fashion magazine PINKY as well.  Yukina auditioned for Morning Musume in 2001 but didn’t make the cut.

No. 5 – Miwa Asao (浅尾美和)

The 23 year old professional beach volleyball player has taken Japanese media by storm for the last couple of years.  Miwa comes from Mie Prefecture and thanks to her fame has started doing fashion shoots and gravure modeling. 

No. 6 – Ayumi Hamasaki (浜崎あゆみ)

This Japanese diva needs no introduction and is internationally known, but many people don’t know that she first started out as a gravure idol.  You can see Ayumi’s face just about everywhere you go in Japan.  The AVEX recording artist has won numerous awards and performed in every Kohaku Utagassen year end show since 1999!

No. 7 – Masami Nagasawa (長澤まさみ)

The Shizuoka Prefecture native got her foot in the showbiz door when she became the youngest winner in the history of Toei Cinderella Audition at age 12 back in ‘99.  Masami has a charming girl next door smile and a set of F cup breasts.

No. 8 – Yoko Kumada (熊田曜子)

The sensual and sexy Gifu Prefecture native has once again been selected by Japanese men as a bikini goddess.  Yoko said she didn’t have a big chest when she was younger.  During junior high she saw a boy she liked reading a gravure magazine featuring girls with big tits.  That was when she realized that she must work hard to increase her bust size.  The Artist House Pyramid gravure idol obtained her delicious G cup tits by diligently massaging them everyday.

No. 9 – Haruka Ayase (綾瀬はるか)

The F cup gravure idol / actress hails from Hiroshima.  It is rumored that once Haruka got detained for 1 day in New Zealand on suspicion of spying.  I’m sure everything cleared up right away as soon as the Kiwis saw her awesome photobooks!

No. 10 – Becky (ベッキー)

Frankly I’m a bit perplexed as to how this Eurasian got in on the list.  The spunky 25 year old talent is often considered cute but not sexy.  Born to a British father and Japanese mother, Becky paid all of her college tuition by herself.

Mira Takiguchi Scola スコラ Photobook Scans

I apologize for the hiccup but here’s the continuation of our special series Scola gravure magazine scans I promised you last Monday.  How about starting off the week with cutie pie Japanese gravure idol Mira Takiguchi (滝口ミラ)?

The petite 5′1″ Osaka native turned 20 back in June but looks like an innocent teen.  Mira started out as a model for Japanese teen fashion magazine melon and got her big break when she was selected as a member of Fuji TV’s Idoling!!! (アイドリング!!!) variety show in 2006.

Sanma’s Daughter IMALU Dating Rocker?

The girl hasn’t even been in showbiz more than 3 months and she’s already stirring up things and making entertainment beat reporters in Japan run around!

IMALU, 19 (L) and SHOGO, 29 of 175R (R)

News came out yesterday that Japanese fashion model / DJ / talent IMALU, daughter of veteran Japanese comedian and host Sanma Akashiya (who is a household name in Japan) is dating the lead vocal of Japanese punk rock band 175R.  According to Sports Nichi IMALU (real name Imaru Otake) who has just returned from studying abroad in Canada met SHOGO who is 10 years her senior through music channel.  She has reportedly even introduced her wild child boyfriend to her mother, famous Japanese actress Shinobu Otake.

By the way, 175R is pronounced “Inago Rider”…don’t ask me why.

The Tokyo native officially began her showbiz career back in April, debuting as the shortest model ever at 150cm (4′11″) for Japanese fashion magazine Zipper.  She has also since taken on the role of assistant DJ at FM Yokohama as well as appearing on variety shows.

SHOGO is no stranger to Japanese tabloid news.  He was the talk of town in 2004 when he suddenly married J-pop unit SPEED member Eriko Imai due to pregnancy and later ended their marriage in 2007.  He has since been romantically linked to Japanese gravure idol Yuka Kosaka.

Possibly sensing that she has made some rookie mistake by being too careless, the 19 year old Japanese teen fashion model immediately posted on her blog to deny this supposed romance.  IMALU wrote, “I’m surprised.  I haven’t been out that long and already I’ve made tabloid headlines.  I’ll work hard to have them write about my work next time.  SHOGO is one of the music industry elders whom I’m friends with!”  When Oricon contacted IMALU’s agency it was told that they are good friends but not a couple.  SHOGO’s handler also gave a similar statement saying, “He’s an adult so we leave all private matters up to him.  We don’t know anything.”

However, when asked what kind of guy she’s attracted to at a movie press event last month, IMALU answered, “Someone who’s cute and older than me.”  I’m sure she’s not talking about her father.

Is Sanma’s Daughter IMALU Dating SHOGO of 175R?

Interview with Japanese Fashion Model Nozomi Sasaki

One of the most talked about rising stars these days is definitely Japanese fashion and gravure model Nozomi Sasaki (佐々木希).  Only 21 years old, the Akita Prefecture native’s beautiful face can be seen everywhere from magazines to television.  Nozomi started doing fashion and gravure modeling after winning an audition sponsored by Japanese fashion magazine Pinky.

The Top Coat (トップコート) entertainment agency artist has gained plenty of female fans in their teens and twenties.  Nozomi also began her acting debut earlier this year on NTV’s drama Kami no Shizuku (神の雫).

With fine porcelain like white skin, sparkling big eyes and gentle appearance in addition to her successes and promising potential, Japanese entertainment beat authority Sankei Sports jumped at the chance and conducted an interview with the 2005 Young Jump Gravure Audition winner.

Sankei Sports Interviews Nozomi Sasaki

Before the interview even officially began, the interviewer couldn’t help but complimented Nozomi again by saying, “You’re such a fair skinned beauty!”  To which the northern Japan native replied, “Akita doesn’t get much sunlight so I guess that’s why I’m white.”

Q: You came to Tokyo from Akita 3 years ago.  I understand before that you worked at an apparel shop?

A: There are almost no model or talent scouts in Akita City where I worked.  So when a scout approached me I was really surprised.  I wasn’t good at speaking to strangers but the shop manager pushed me.  Because of this I was able to enter Young Jump’s audition and later won it.

Q: This was fate, wasn’t it?

A: I never thought I’d enter the entertainment industry.  I never imagined I’d leave my family and friends.  But my mother told me, “This is your life so you should go to Tokyo and work hard.”  Without realizing, my tears began falling as I left for Tokyo.

Q: Did you get homesick?

A: In the beginning I didn’t have any job coming in.  I was worried about that so I didn’t really have time to be homesick.  Of course I wanted to go home but I didn’t even have money for bus or train.  So I told myself I can only stay and work hard.  Plus everyone back home were rooting for me.  I’m really glad that I stayed.

Q: You’re also good friends with Pinky’s model Yukina Kinoshita, right?

A: She comes over and hangs out at my place.  We think the same.  We have a great time without having to put up a front.  I’d go out with her if she’s a guy (laughing)!

Yukina Kinoshita (L) and Nozomi Sasaki (R)

Q: Do you want to get married?

A: I think that’ll be when I’m 26 (laughing).  I was told by a famous fortune teller in Okinawa.  I kind of believe it.  When the possibility of me doing the movie Handsome Suit (ハンサム★スーツ) came up…at that time people said I couldn’t act.  I was really troubled with whether I should take this job or not.  But the foretune teller told me, “Right now luck is on your side.” and I ended up being chosen for the role.

Q: It looks like you might just end up getting married at 26

A: Hahaha, but I’m really enjoying my work right now.

After this Sankei Sport’s interviewer asked, “Now that you’ve become an actress, are you shooting at becoming a blockbuster actress?”  At first Nozomi nodded but quickly said, “I take that back” while turning red.  But the fair skinned beauty added, “I’ll work really hard to prevent that from happening.”  I wonder what exactly did she mean by that.  Was she suddenly drunk or was that just a poor attempt at humor?

Q: What are you into these days?

A: Doggies!  I’ve got a 10 month old male long coat Chihuahua.  His name is Maron and we live together.  You can see him in my blog.  I wasn’t thinking about getting a dog but the moment I saw him at the pet shop he was too cute to resist.  I’m also bringing home a female teacup Poodle named Runa soon.

I’m not sure about either the Chihuahua or the teacup Poodle.  But what I’m sure about is that Nozomi Sasaki is cute as a button!

Japanese Fashion Model Rina Fujii Dating Singer

Popular Japanese fashion and lingerie model Rina Fujii (藤井リナ) held a press event last month in Tokyo for her self produced wedding dress brand L et Lena.  The quarter American hottie who just turned 25 last Thursday showed up in a gorgeous red wedding gown and appeared very happy.

Tokyo born Rina has been the talk of town because last month Japanese gossip magazine Josei Seven (女性セブン) reported that she was exchanging passionate kisses on the street with Japanese hip hop group DA PUMP vocal ISSA, real name Issa Hentona (辺土名 一茶).  The timing couldn’t have been more perfect for the reporters to ask Rina, who’s been saying she’d like to get married since she was a teenager, about her love life and wedding plans.  When a reporter inquired whether the sexy ViVi and Peach John model was wearing the wedding dress while in love, the reply was, “Yes, everyday.”

Rina Fujii (L) and ISSA, lead vocal of DA PUMP (R)

ISSA is no small time player.  As leader of DA PUMP, the 30 year old Okinawan has made sure his group continues to see success since its debut back in 1997.  He has dated big name entertainers such as Japanese actress Ko Sibasaki (柴咲コウ) and gravure idol / talent Yu Abiru (あびる優).

Rina Fujii Dating DA PUMP’s ISSA

The press wanted confirmation and asked, “Is your boyfriend the same as the person reported in the article?”  Rina Fujii could barely hold back her smile and responded with a simple “yes”.  When asked how she’d spend her birthday, Rina said, “I plan on spending it with my family, so I’ll hold off going on a date with my boyfriend.  But it’d be nice if there’s a surprise.”  She turned red and replied, “His kindness” when reporters asked what does she like most about her beau.

According to Rina Fujii, who went by the name “Lena” when she first started modeling, the couple hasn’t discussed marriage yet.  But she does hope to get married so she’d like to make it happen someday.  When approached for comment, ISSA’s agency Vision Factory (ヴィジョンファクトリー) responded, “He is an adult so we leave all private matters to him.”

I wonder if she’d say yes if she was presented with a fat ring on her birthday…

Comedian Declares Yukina Kinoshita Is His

When the pressure’s mounting, something’s gotta give.

Some Japanese weeklies had already been running stories of Japanese gravure idol / fashion model turned talent Yukina Kinoshita being romantically involved with Japanese comedian Toshifumi Fujimoto.  On the 7th of last month on a regional variety show airing on Kansai TV the 38 year old half of the Japanese comdey duo FUJIWARA finally fessed up and blurted out, “Yeah, we’re going out!”

During one segment of the show which focused on its guests, the title read, “There are so many rumors involving FUJIWARA.”  After being heckled by both fellow panelists and audience, the Osaka native had no choice but say, “Oh, you’re referring to that?  We’re dating.”  After the show recording was completed Toshifumi felt a little disappointed as he said, “I wanted to announce this on a nationally televised show.”

Yukina Kinoshita (L) and Toshifumi Fujimoto (R)

Yukina and Toshifumi met when they both appeared as regular guests on a popular Fuji TV quiz show Quiz! Hexagon II (クイズ!ヘキサゴンII).  I take it the sexy and leggy Tokyo native likes having her funny bone tickled.

The couple’s mutual friend Hello!Project idol turned talent Mai Satoda (里田まい) made things even more difficult for the Japanese funny man by calling into the show during recording and revealing more detailed info.  Mai told the show, “They went to Disney Sea recently!”  When asked for the identity of the female companion Mai playfully replied, “She’s full of energy and a good girl!”

Formula One Driver Dating Japanese Lingerie Model

Well what do you know?  Japanese girls just love going international!

Jessica Michibata (L) and Jenson Button (R)

Popular Japanese lingerie and gravure model Jessica Michibata (道端ジェシカ) has admitted to dating F1 (Formula One) Brawn GP driver Jenson Button.  The sexy headliner for Japanese lingerie maker Peach John was asked by reporters if everything’s going well in her love life back in the middle of May and Jessica shyly answered, “Yes!”  Jenson Button is doing very well this season, currently the point standing leader after 8 rounds.  I wonder if the talented Briton has received any secret love potion from his hot Japanese lingerie babe or perhaps he has injected some of his own additives into Jessica?

Jessica’s physical condition hadn’t been that great back in May.  So when reporters asked if she’d fly to Monaco to watch the race and be with her man at the end of the month she hesitantly replied, “It depends on my health.”

Japanese weeklies broke the news that the two were romantically involved back in January. It doesn’t get any more international than Jessica and Jenson.  The hot Fukui Prefecture native’s father is an Argentinean national who is half Spanish and half Italian.  It is said that the couple first met in 2006 at the Monaco GP when Jessica Michibata was there doing interviews for a magazine.

More pictures of Japanese supermodel Yuri Ebihara (蛯原友里) looking glamorous in a white wedding dress at the premier of Vicky Cristina Barcelona.  Before you start scratching your head…this is the Japanese premier for the movie.  And yes, sometimes there can be major delay for the release date of Hollywood films in the Land of the Rising Sun often due to scheduling conflicts and time needed for translation.

Yuri Ebihara In Wedding Dress Ready To Commit?
