Some Classic Rie Miyazawa to Brighten your Day

 Been recently listening to my old Rie Miyazawa CDS "Mu" and "Chepop" (Yes! Rie Miyazawa was a pop singing idol!), and while watching some old television performances of the younger Rie onstage singing her tunes,  it occured to me that while I had "THE" shashinshuu from her, I didn't have ANY of her older photobooks, a true crime since she had so many of them!
Decided to rectify that one and came across someone selling a copy of her book "Quelle Surprise" for a very affordable price!

Just got the shahinshuu in today, and MY! Isn't Rie just the CUTEST li'l thang you ever saw!!!

Looking this book over, you can see why she created such a buzz back in the day!!

Aww, I've got to get my hands on MORE of these classic photobooks while they are still available!!!

Tittilating Tomoko

Back in the mid aughts when I was dutifully watching Arashi’s awesome variety show ARASHI NO SHIYAGARE, the show’s game and quiz segments were usually hosted by manzai duo OTHELLO, as the members themselves couldn’t do the MC while they were involved in the activities.

 After awhile both Tomoko Nakajima and Nahomi Matsushima became an essential part of the show, with the gals making witty quips and comments about the boys as they blundered through games like Mannequin Five and the like, and I couldn’t imagine the segments without them!

I particular I loved Tomoko- besides being the gal with the sharpest comebacks, I thought she was totally HOT and SEXY and couldn’t WAIT to see her each week!

She had a strange falling out with the show (and the whole entertainment biz  in general. due to personal problems) and then we didn’t hear much from her...Sometimes I’d wonder what she was up to, and I was shocked and THRILLED to find that in that time, Tomoko had released not one but THREE Saucy Photobooks featuring Tomoko in all her natural goodness! Oh MAN, I had to get my hands on some of those books!

Who knew that ALL this time I was LUSTING after her, Tomoko was out shooting pictorials that would have granted my biggest wishes?! 

Well, one of my wishes came truw as I manged to get ahold of her photobook “MAKUAI” and HOLY TOLEDO, it is as SMOKIN’ HOT and ULTRA-SEXY as I’d DREAMED!

We've got it all, Tomoko in pretty dresses, casual cool outfits, steaming Nra and Panty pictorials and of COURSE some smoldering shots of her au naturel! Man, Tomoko has got one of the “fullest” figures in the business, and she has no problem lettin’ it ALL hang out!

Holy HELL, I have GOT to get ahold of her OTHERS!

PS: in a funny coincidence, back when my friend was in Japan, he took pics of the latest photobooks the store was selling. I zoomed in on the Riho Yoshioka cover and the sexy Meisa Kuroki book (and wasted NO TIME purchasing both) but only later did I realize Tomoko’s shashinshuu was on the shelves as well!

Aw man, if I had known, I woulda acted faster and maybe coulda GRABBED that while it was still being sold!

A Christmas Gift to Myself: Some Asami Tadokoro Cheesecake!

I’ve always had a crush on Nanase Natsumi ever since I first saw her turn as the adorkably adorable mom Asami Tadokoro in the Pokka Poka series which I began watching during its second season through to the third (and then later with the help of trading, the first season as well!)

Nanase with Yuichi Haba and Yuu Kamiwaki 

As the wonderfully scatterbrained but big hearted Mom Asami, Nanase was THE star of the show for me, and I remember even going to Japan Video and renting one of her movies just because she was in it (and even though it had no subtitles and I was hopelessly lost!)

It wasn’t until later that I discovered Nanase had released one of those ubiquitous WANI BOOKS Idol/Model photobooks in 1989, and after seeing her for so long as the sweet Mom in Pokka Poka, it was a shock seeing her doing idol-ly cheesecake pics, but was something that I noted that I was going to have to track down one of these days!

The photobook pictorial was called “LOOSE”, and every once in awhile I would think about it and look up prices on the shashinshuu, and while the prices were all very affordable, I kept putting it off.

Someone had recently uploaded the entire series of the Rena Tanaka drama “Haken No Oscar” from 2009, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Nanase in an episode as one of the main character’s wife!

Oh my gosh, she was so pretty, and even though her role was fairly small, it jumpstarted my desire to pick up her shashinshuu, and I located one online for a very affordable price! I was just about to make up my mind to finally drop the change and pick it up, and as if to give me that little added PUSH, who should appear on the latest episode on the Nanao drama 4 Punkan No Marigold but Ms. Natsumi herself, and this time it's HER in the patient bed...

This was CLEARLY a SIGN and I put in the order THAT NIGHT!!

The photobook came in a few days and I wasted no time digging in to that Nanase Natsumi cheesecake goodness! The opening shots were just what I’d hoped it would be- a VERY cute, cute, CUTE Nanase  in a variety of girly, lacy outfits and I was thoroughly enjoying myself…

Then, I looked closer and began to realize- HEY, these shots are WAY more RISQUE than I’d thought! With a dress that just barely covered up her goods, this was past PG-13! WHOA, this is getting GOOD! LOL!

The next shots confirmed what I thought I saw- she was clearly letting it ALL hang out and as I turned page after page, I was presented with Nanase in ALL her GLORIOUS natural goodness!!! Just FANTASTIC!!!

Dayum, Can’t BELIVE it took me THIS LONG to pick it up…!!!!

Photobook Deja Vu with Dan Mitsu

Was browsing through some saucy Dan Mitsu pictorials and came across a photo that looked REALLY familiar:

 Those gate doors, those intricate design cuts, the playful hiding behind the frame, they all reminded me of some OTHER photobook...Hmmmm, wonder which one it could be!
Even this sexy pic of Dan sitting in a grassy field was strangely reminiscent...

Either this is some unabashed homage or maybe there just aren't that many original concepts one can make when shooting nude photos!
