Japanese Gravure Idol Nana Kasai

Hot and busty Japanese gravure idol Nana Kasai modeling in 2 different bikinis at her gravure DVD release event earlier this year.  The voluptuous 25 year old looks saucy flashing her G cup tits while talking about the DVD that was shot on location in Okinawa.  You can catch Nana as a regular cast member on the popular TV Tokyo Monday night show Yarisugi Koji.  Nana Kasai (華彩なな) got her start after winning first place in the 2005 Young Jump “Pururun MAX” gravure idol contest.

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 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!”

Japanese Maids in Tokyo

“If you still doesn’t know in Akihabara neighborhood in Tokyo you get into maid cafes, where the waitresses are dressed as maids.”

For all you cosplay otaku lovers, this is a nice article, especially if you love the maid costumes.  And c’mon, who doesn’t??  Read more HERE.

AVEX Concert

Here are more pictures from the annual AVEX Stockholder Concert that took place last Sunday at Saitama Super Arena (さいたまスーパーアリーナ) just north of Tokyo. AVEX Group (エイベックス) is a Japanese record giant and its shareholder-only concert was a star studded event, featuring several internationally known J pop artists.

After more than a decade, Namie Amuro (安室奈美恵), the girl who is credited with starting the contemporary Japanese fashion as we know today can still rock the stage

The humble looking Japanese diva Kumi Koda (倖田來未) performed gracefully while shedding some tears, no doubt reflecting on her “rotten womb” comment scandal from earlier this year

AVEX mega popular artist Ai Otsuka (大塚愛) looks cute no matter what she’s wearing, even in this pajama inspired outfit

Former Morning Musume Maki Goto (後藤真希) made her first official appearance as an AVEX Nation artist

Ethnic Tibetan alan (アラン, or 阿兰) was discovered recently when AVEX held an audition in China and was quickly signed to the label

Sleepy Japanese

I get sleepy quite often but my need for a little shut eye pales in comparison to the Japanese. They seem to have this uncanny ability to fall asleep on command, regardless of where they’re at! Here are a few snapshots I took of them sleeping:

At Narita International Airport…check out the stylish pose!

At a bus stop in the Tokyo business district of Nihonbashi

Spotted this salaryman on my way home along a busy street

Even on the mountain…slope side sleeping at its finest!

Sleepy John In Japan, Part 2

Look what poster I ran into in the station upon my arrival? It’s Hello!Project’s new unit Milky Way advertising their new single “Anataboshi” (アナタボシ).

Hello!Project is still representing in full effect! Yu Kikkawa (L), Koharu Kusumi (C) and Sayaka Kitahara (R)

Front entrance to the legendary Shibuya 109 building…the center of Japanese fashion

A shot of the historic Nihonbashi at night. The structure above it is the Tokyo Metropolitan Highway, known to racers as “Shutoko” (首都高).

I thought this photo shows the clash of different Japanese cultures really well. On the left is the entrance to a traditional shrine and immediately to the right is a love hotel, where horny Japanese who can’t wait to get home go to do the nasty.

Sleepy John In Japan

Here’s a few more pictures I took while salivating in the Land of the Rising Son (yes, pun intended)!

One of my favorite ramen joints in Tokyo…it was good to be back!

Okay, so this is not the best example and I was only able to get a few stealth shots of the school girls.  I’m not down with getting arrested for stalking and taking upskirt shots of every single uniform wearing cutie I saw!  But believe me I got my share of creamy thighs & plenty of panty flash!

What else can I say about Japanese school girls except they’re HOT!

Rainbow Bridge, the famous Tokyo landmark that leads to Odaiba

The man-made island of Odaiba (mostly from landfill) hosts various entertainment spots such as Decks Tokyo, Aqua City and Venus Fort in addition to Tokyo Big Sight convention center where all those cosplay anime conventions take place, Ariake Colosseum sports arena and several warehouses and industrial complexes. I have a strong suspicion that most of the trash Tokyo produces end up here as the island keeps expanding.

Sleepy John Hits Tokyo

Yes fellas, like I previously announced I arrived in the land of milk and honey & rising skirts! Sorry about the unexpected delay…I was busy having too much fun and wiping the drool off my mouth. Here are a couple teasers for your viewing pleasure. I will throw up a lot more pics in the days to come so be sure to check back!

Hachiko Crossing in Shibuya, the mecca of Japanese goodness

The lovely Aki Hoshino was everywhere…here she is pimping body spray on a train

Sleepy John Heads Over To Japan

Japan, land of the rising miniskirt and loose socks wearing school girls

That’s right. The Japan-holic you have come to know and purveyor of all Japanese goodness is headed for The Land of the Rising Sun soon, real soon.

Maybe I’ll run into some of these cosplay loving maids

What spots am I going to hit up?  How will I make my presence felt?  How many hot girls am I going to encounter?  What kind of trouble will I get myself into?

Stay tuned and you shall find out.:)

Aki Hoshino Orange Princess

Aki Hoshino was crowned “Orange Day Princess”. Previous recipients include Misako Yasuda.

Busty Japanese gravure idol and talent Aki Hoshino was in Tokyo yesterday to promote the “Orange Day” event put on by Sunkist. During the interview the babyfaced sexy model said even though she’s had good relationships before, she hasn’t been able to find any eligible bachelors recently. She added that these days people around her are getting married, so she’s starting to feel anxious.

In the end the 31 year old F-cup cutie proclaimed, “I shall get married before 40, I haven’t turned rotten at all!” while possibly taking a jab at Kumi Koda’s “women’s womb turn rotten after 35″ comment earlier this year.

I hope Aki’s fabulous tits will never go rotten!

Dancing Stormtrooper Part II

Woo…look what I found! I didn’t know Tokyo resident and otaku extraordinaire Danny Choo was itching to get his Stormtrooper cosplay fix again and went out on to the street of Shibuya recently.

This time he’s busting out moves what the Japanese refer to as “uma uma dance” ( ウマウマダンス) while dancing to the track “Caramelldansen” by Swedish pop group Caramell. This catchy eurobeat has caught on like wildfire in Japan since the latter part of 2007 and the origin of the simple yet cute dance moves can be traced back to the characters from the Japanese PC game (later turned anime) “Popotan”.

The Caramelldansen / uma uma dance has the person sway his / her hip from side to side while having the hands flap around over the head to simulate rabbit ears. Only in Japan can they come up with cutesy stuff like that! :)


I think the sight of a Stormtrooper doing the uma uma / Caramelldansen dance is just too funny! Ah Danny, you’re a genius! xD

Stormtrooper Takes Over Tokyo

Check out this Stormtrooper dances his way through Shibuya (in case you don’t know, the mecca of Japanese coolness) in Tokyo while the amazed crowd gawked. The dude underneath the helmet is Danny Choo, a multi-talented and successful Briton living in Tokyo who is also a self professed otaku when it comes to everything Gundam, anime figurines and bishojo goodness.

Ahh…this brings back so much memory! Shibuya was my stomping ground and I used to go there all the time. I had a lot of good times there. Watching the video not only put a smile on my face, now I can’t get this Uniting Nations song out of my head! xD

Danny picked the right location to display his moves and a good song to go with his video. With the start of his new company he might not have time to grace us with any public dancing for a while, but next time I’d like to see him hit up Kabukicho or in front of ALTA Studio in Shinjuku!

Go Danny, show ‘em what you got!

Ryoko Hirosue Axes Hubby

Ryoko Hirosue called it quits on her marriage

Japanese model and fashion designer Takahiro Okazawa, 32

The now 27 year old mother of one was among one of the hottest commodities in the Japanese entertainment world toward the of 1990s and at the turn of the century!

Japanese actress and former idol Ryoko Hirosue announced on her website today that she has divorced her husband of more than 3 years, Japanese model and fashion designer Takahiro Okazawa. Ryoko burst onto the Japanese showbiz scene when she was only 14, appearing in commercials and photo shoots. 2 years later the Kochi Prefecture native got an even bigger break when she debuted as a singer with the hit song “Maji de Koi Suru Go Byo Mae”.

Ryoko and Takahiro caught in 2001 in Sendagaya district of Tokyo

A young Ryoko Hirosue pitching for Japanese wireless giant DoCoMo

Ryoko stirred up a media frenzy when she enrolled in the prestigious Waseda University back in 1999 but didn’t bother to show up on campus until almost 3 months later. She never really attended any of the classes and ended up dropping out.

Ryoko’s first day at Waseda University was a carefully orchestrated event by her management agency

Posing with French actor Jean Reno at the press conference of their 2001 international hit movie WASABI

But Ryoko blew it by getting knocked up by then boyfriend Takahiro Okazawa in 2003. They subsequently had a hurried wedding ceremony in January of 2004 after Ryoko held a press conference at the end of 2003 to confirm the rumor that she was pregnant. This was really ironic because the plain looking girl I had nicknamed “koala face” since she first surfaced had starred in a popular Japanese drama back in 2001 on Fuji TV with Japanese heartthrob Yutaka Takenouchi titled “Dekichatta Kekkon” (Shotgun Wedding)!

Ryoko Hirosue at the press conference in December 2003 to announce her pregnancy and marriage

I remember Ryoko’s sudden pregnancy and marriage drew a lot of criticism from both fans and media back then. Many on going projects related to her had to be put on hold indefinitely, altered or scrapped altogether. And just like I thought, her popularity and career took a nose dive when she tried to make a comeback after the birth of her boy. As a matter of fact, her status has never been the same ever since.

Ryoko cited work related issues as part of her reason to divorce

Rina Akiyama

The lovely Rina Akiyama

The 22 year old Japanese gravure model / actress first made it to the main stage of showbiz through the Kamen Rider series, playing Mana Kazaya. But these days she’s more well known for her sexy ass. While Rina doesn’t have any “junk in the trunk”, the slender Tokyo native has been given nicknames such as “oshirina” (a play off the Japanese word for butt), “pretty butt idol” and “queen of pretty butt”.

Personally I don’t think her butt is *all that*, but it does go with the rest of her body quite well. You be the judge:

Rina Akiyama proves that you don’t need a huge booty to get attention from guys
