Catching Up With Hiroko Anzai

Gravure Idol Hiroko Anzai back in the day

 Gravure Idol and sometimes actress Hiroko Anzai made the scene way back in 1998 where she was Fuji's Visual Queen of that Year and promptly stole my heart~! For awhile there, it was ALL about Hiroko, her sweet smile and cheesecakey goodness for me!

As some of you may recall, Hiroko was an early Crush of The Day recipient here, and while looking over by past entries, occured to me I had not heard anything about her in years. Going online and doing some browsing, I was happily surprised to find her well and active on her instagram, and looking just as radiant and beautiful as ever!!!

My, My, time has certainly been good to her! And she's even still got that wonderful SMILE!

Well, I'M Following her!!!

The Sultry Side of Chika Nakagawa

And while we’re on the subject of unassuming young women turning out to be smokin’ hotties, while looking through the Beshari Gurashi credits, I discovered that actress Chika Nakagawa, who plays the stuffy and serious assistant Hikari…

…has an equally impressive side as an unbelievably HOT gravure model! YOWZA!!

MAN, who KNEW that body was hiding under those conservative suits????

It goes to show you just NEVER know…!

Gonna keep my eye out for this gal!

Who's That Girl: It's Arisa Deguchi

About halfway through the manzai comedy Beshari Gurashi and while it is a fun and interesting show, what I wanna know right now is…Who is this absolutely SMOKING BABE in episode 6 ????

In a very minor role as a sexy floozy whom comedian Koji Kanemoto (Taro Sugura) wakes up with, she’s only there to represent his fast life of living, enter the room, turn around and show off that fine pantied tush of hers! Who WAS she?

I already knew I wasn’t going to see any individual listing for an appearance that small in the ending credits- No listing for "Girl In Hotel Room", instead she was probably of of these secondary actor names lumped together:

A small cameo like that would not be listed on sites like Dramawiki or Asianwiki, so it was up to me to go through all of those lumped together names one by one…  Of course, there were a lot of Kanji i didn't know, but I could read names like "Arisa" , and began with that....

Should have been a harder task, but it seems her striking features made it easy for me when I typed in “Beshari Gurashi, Arisa”, and almost immediately found a post with some guy asking a drama forum, “Beshari Gurashi: I was curious about the actress who appeared in Episode 6!”

SO! I wasn't the ONLY one wondering who this goddess was! And thanks to this post, I was to learn that her name was Miss Arisa Deguchi, a lusciously curvy actress who already  “wowed the men as the TV reporter with the too-big boobs” in the Morning program Ohayo Call ABC!

Indeed, with just a cursory look around the images on google, seems Ms. Deguchi is quite FAMOUS for those ample assets of hers!!! 

Magazine shoots, Photobooks and more, Mmm, definitely'd like to see MORE of her! 

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!!!

Catching Up With Aimi Nakamura (She Grew Up!)

Aimi Nakamura back in 1998's GTO

Watching the fantastic Takeshi Sorimachi drama GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka waaaaay back in 1998, I always figured that pretty Aimi Nakamura, who played the troubled antagonistic student Miyabi Aizawa, was going to grow up to be one beautiful lady some day, but apart from her next role in the Ryoko Hirosue drama LIPSTICK, I never saw her again!

It was surprising, to say the least, as Aimi’s character was such a charismatic and important one in the drama, whether she be playin’ it cool with the guys in her class…

...butting heads with Teacher Fuyutsuki (Nanako Matsushima)…

and dealing with that bothersome Teacher Onizuka, from at first hating him, to ignoring him...and finally being won over by him....

 ...lovely Aimi was one of the main reasons I loved this drama!

 Looking over her dramawiki stats, it appears that she’s done a bit of movie roles since then, but as far as i knew, she’d simply fallen off the face of the earth! And every now and again, I’d wonder, “Hey, what ever became of that pretty young girl Aimi Nakamura?” But I didn’t see anything…until recently!

Looking over a forum with some older gravure videos, I was surprised to see an “Aimi Nakamura” listed there, as I wasn’t aware of her as having done any of those back then…Then I saw it was a video from just a few years ago, and THIS video featured an ALL GROWN UP Aimi:

...and she was looking as ROCKIN’ and SMOKIN' as could be! WHOA!

 

Shedding off her cute schoolgirl image, Aimi went straight for the jugular with this video release, as she was SEXY, SEXY, SEXY!!

Man, going from that mental image of that incorrigible student in GTO to this ravishing  beauty took some getting used to, but once I did, I embraced this video of hers to its FULLEST!

Damn, Aimi is totally going for broke here, posing in the most daring and scandalous of shots- from bikinis to skimpy bra and panties to bold semi-nude shots- this one had it ALL!

Recently, Aimi hasn't done much, and I'm just WAITING for her to come back and make another splash...for now, though, these pics will do nicely!
