Shoko Hamada Scola スコラ Photobook Scans

Yes, my dream has come true!  In today’s Scola magazine scans Japanese gravure idol Shoko Hamada (浜田翔子) finally puts on a lace G string and bares her beautiful creamy behind.  The 23 year old Kyoto Prefecture native is often referred to as “erokawa” (エロかわ), or sexy and cute.  Check out the body hugging black stocking lingerie Shoko’s wearing too.  It does not get any hotter than this and what a way to end a week!

Mai Nishida Scola スコラ Photobook Scans

Here at Sleepyjohn we can’t be stopped as we bring you another special series!  First up is baby faced Japanese gravure idol Mai Nishida (西田麻衣).  Starting from today we’ve got nicely scanned photos from Japanese gravure authority Scola.

The 20 year old Kyoto Prefecture native has upgraded her chest status to a very delicious G cup since the last time we saw her!  It just so happened that Scola took these sexy shots on her birthday back in March.  When asked how she felt about becoming an adult (in Japan you officially become an adult when you turn 20) she said, “As I mature my preference in men has also changed.  Now I go after guys who are serious about their work.  It’s cool if a guy can express his anger when he’s upset.”  Maipurin, as Mai Nishida is affectionately called added, “My goal is to be able to walk into a convenient store and see my face on several magazine covers, as well as appearing on variety TV shows.”

Feast your eyes as Mai Nishida shows us the true definition of “sweater puppies”.  And she sensually strips to reveal her white string panties and beige stockings…so hot!  This cutie with a killer body belongs to Japanese model agency Space Craft Entertainment (スペースクラフトエンタテインメント).

Misako Yasuda Cheating On Boyfriend?

The truth has been revealed…or so the person in question claims.

Misako Yasuda (R) and boyfriend Yu Shirota (L)

Japanese gravure idol and talent Misako Yasuda (安田美沙子) has recently been implicated by a Japanese weekly that she has cheated on her boyfriend by spending the night at another guy’s house.  To clear her name, the 27 year old Kyoto Prefecture native wrote in her blog this past Monday that this was all false.

Misako Yasuda Explains In Blog About Alleged Affair

In the blog titled “The Truth”, Misako explained that the person she was with is a good friend of hers and they’ve known each other since 7 years ago.  However, the sexy Japanese pin-up was contrite by saying she shouldn’t have done such a careless act and she really regrets it.  “I acted hastily and ended up being misunderstood.  I’m sorry.”

This past January the sexy Japanese gravure veteran revealed also on her blog that she was dating Japanese actor Yu Shirota (城田優), 4 years her junior and that everything’s going well.

In Misako’s explanation she added that this “good friend” of hers understands a girl’s feelings and he’s always helped her in times of need, so she really trusts him.  “I plan on having lots of contact with him in the future.  I’ll always keep watch over him.  He’s a dear friend.”, wrote Misako.

I’m not sure what the Japanese media or her fans will make of this.  But if I were her boyfriend, somehow I can’t help but feel a bit uneasy about this “platonic” relationship.

Japanese Gravure Idol Tomoko Yunoue x Up To Boy

I’ve got another big tits beauty for you, courtesy of Japanese gravure authority Up To Boy (アップトゥボーイ). 24 year old gravure idol Tomoko Yunoue (湯之上知子) moved to Tokyo from her hometown in 2005 because she had always been interested in the showbiz world. The Kyoto native started going to auditions at the urging of her friend while working at Shibuya 109, the mecca of Japanese fashion.

Tomoko is blessed with F cup breast but has always been self conscious about her large boobs because most clothes wouldn’t fit right on her. But since entering showbiz and becoming a gravure idol she has been learning techniques on how to show off her assets and practices posing in bikini at home.

Tomoko Yunoue’s senpai, Japanese gravure veteran Eiko Koike once offered her the advice that if she didn’t know what to do during the taping of a show just simply start jumping up and down and make her nice rack bounce. What great advice that is!

At Sleepy John we love us some scandalous action and what better way to introduce a young cutie than with some camel toe?!

Ai Kago Officially Back

Ai Kago will be making her return to Japanese TV this Friday on Fuji TV

Former Morning Musume and super popular Japanese idol Ai Kago (加護亜衣) announced on her blog last Friday that she’s officially back in Japanese showbiz! Affectionately called “Aibon” or “Kago-chan” by her fans, the 20 year old cutie revealed she’ll make her first Japanese TV appearance since her second smoking scandal more than 2 years ago.

“Aibon” is back in the spotlight, this time as a serious actress and talent

Ai Kago is going to be the guest on Japanese showbiz icon Sanma Akashiya’s Fuji TV late night variety show “Sanma no Manma” (さんまのまんま) this Friday. On the show Aibon will talk about her downward spiral, her road to recovery, her succeeding in losing 22 pounds and her current status as a bona fide Japanese actress and “talent”. Aibon has recently returned from Hong Kong after completing her role in “Super Chef” (スーパーシェフ), her first movie since her comeback. The film will be shown in Hong Kong this fall and be in theaters in Japan next April.

If Ai Kago and Maki Goto got together, what would you name the unit?

Ai Kago has also began filming a historic suspense drama with NTV (Nippon TV) in the ancient capitol of Kyoto since returning to Japan.  She plays a princess and from the leaked press photos I’ve seen she looked absolutely adorable!  Upon her return she was asked about the rumor of her and former Morning Musume member Maki Goto (current AVEX artist) forming a new unit.  Aibon responded that it was also the first time for her to hear such speculation but she’d welcome it.

Mai Nishida

Gravure idol Mai Nishida (西田麻衣) was the winner of “Bikini Gravure Audition 2006″ (水着グラビアオーディション’０６). The 19 year old sexy teen from Kyoto possesses wonderful F cup breast for our viewing pleasure. Check out the combination of that innocent lolita face and those huge knockers…I know you want some of that!

Mai claims that since her debut she has lost 6 kg yet gained more mass on top. She thinks she’s on her way to G cup ville!

Misako Yasuda In Kimono

How can you not stare at a pretty Japanese girl in kimono, especially when it’s kawaii Misako Yasuda?

Popular and super cute Japanese gravure idol and actress Misako Yasuda met with the press in an elegant kimono on her 25th birthday to promote her photo essay. When asked if she wanted to get married Misako replied, “For a while I felt a bit anxious but not anymore. I’ve got a dog now so I’m fine.” The slender hottie with a soft, gentle look from the ancient Japanese capital of Kyoto added, “Recently my twin brother moved to Tokyo and he’s like my boyfriend. He cooked for me when I got sick!”

Japanese Idol Ranking, Part I

The purpose of Japanese weekly TV show CDTV (Countdown TV) on TBS (no, it doesn’t belong to Ted Turner) is to compile rankings out of anything and everything from the most popular high school bags to body shampoos to crepes that are served in the trendy Tokyo district of Harajuku. And CDTV has just released their semi annual list of “girls you’d like to make your girlfriend”.

Okay, so not all of the fine ladies that made the list are idols. Without further adieu, here is the list of the top 20 girls that Japanese guys would like to make their chick:

No. 1 – YUI

For some reason, for the third time in a row, the often gloomy looking singer / songwriter from Fukuoka captured the top position

No. 2 – Kaori Mochida

The vocal for now disbanded Every Little Thing takes the 2nd spot for the second time in a row. I guess Kaori still has a lot of pull even though she’s not that active anymore.

No. 3 – Ai Otsuka

The funky singer / songwriter from Osaka has an infectious voice and has butted heads with Kumi Koda who’s also from the same record label Avex

No. 4 – Rika Ishikawa

The leader of Viyuden and former Morning Musume possesses a hot body and her ass has been known to make fanboys cream in their pants!

No. 5 – Ayumi Hamasaki

The 29 year old Japanese diva with a sultry voice needs no introduction. She’s also often known as “Ayu” to her fans.

No. 6 – Ai Takahashi

The leader of Japan’s most popular girl group Morning Musume has a beautiful voice and a cheery personality

No. 7 – Natsumi Abe

Everyone in Japan knows “Nacchi“. The former leader of Morning Musume holds the record with 6 consecutive number one positions. The 26 year old Hokkaido native still melts the heart of men everywhere with her soft voice and warm personality.

No. 8 – Namie Amura

I can’t believe this 90s mega j-pop icon is 30! The singer from Okinawa forever changed the culture, fashion and language for young people in Japan.

No. 9 – Hitomi Yoshizawa

Also known as “Yossie“, the former leader of Japanese super idol group Morning Musume with boyish charms has blossomed into a fine young lady

No. 10 – Kumi Koda

Sometimes referred to as “Japan’s Britney Spears“, the chart topping singer from Kyoto has been in hot water as of late over her careless “womb” comment. (please see my blog on 2/4, 2/6 & 2/14) It’s no wonder that the 25 year old queen of “dirty pop” listed Christina Aguilera as one of her favorite artists.

Obama Gets Love In Japan

That’s right, Barack Obama is big in Japan!

U.S. presidential hopeful and Democratic Party front runner Senator Barack Obama is getting support from the oddest place…in Japan! The city of Obama (小浜市), a small seaside town facing the Sea of Japan in Fukui Prefecture happens to share the same name with the charismatic candidate from Illinois and the residents there couldn’t be happier.

The town which served as an important stop on the trade route to Japan’s ancient capital Kyoto in the old days first noticed the connection when Senator Obama appeared on Japanese TV TBS in 2006 recalling an immigration officer at Narita International Airport telling him that his home town is also called “Obama”. In case you haven’t noticed, in general it takes very little effort to get the Japanese excited about something and start a new craze since the society is very group oriented. And the small fishing town of 32,000 in western Japan has found their calling…to rally behind Barack Obama while selling all kinds of related souvenirs from t-shirts to chopsticks to cellphone straps.

“Thanks for pimpin’ my name…I’m gonna be rich, bitches!”

The people of the 1,500 year old town that used to be responsible for providing food to the emperor are taking this event quite seriously and have formed an official support group for Senator Obama. A representative in the lobby of Sekumi-ya Hotel where they have set up camp says, “I think our support base will keep growing. We wanted to do something because Mr. Obama doesn’t feel like a stranger to us. He’s like a relative to us.”
