Water Boys began as a Japanese movie back in 2001. It was the story of some geeky male students who joined a synchro team. That’s a short way of saying synchronized swimming. It proved so popular in Japan that it was packaged and delivered as a TV series which ran for two seasons in 2003 and 2004. Finally, a TV Summer Special was aired in 2005. It was broadcast over two nights each with each segment running about 90 minutes.
Admittedly, synchronized swimming is still in the Summer Olympics but aside from that you don’t hear much about it these days. It is sort of like ballet and swimming combined. Meaning that I could have a look at it with girls doing the swimming, but watching guys do this – I think not.
At least not for me. But I can see how Japanese girls might like watching a wholesome story that showed off a lot of guys in brief racing swimsuits.
So why I am doing an article about this? Well, I learned that buxom gravure idol Nonami Takizawa had a speaking role in this TV Special with appearances on both nights. Read more…
After coming across the above video, I figured it was a good time for the readers here to become reacquainted with Mai Nishida who is a luscious Japanese beauty. And what better way to become reacquainted with her than by starting this post off with a video of her taking a shower.
While browsing around the forum a while back, I came across the thread for Chu Ja Hyun who is an actress from South Korea. What got my attention is the amount of softcore photos that she posed for which are included in the thread, so make sure you check it out after the break.
Personally I haven’t watched anything that she has appeared in, but that could change after checking out her pics. And if you have any additional information on her, feel free to provide it in the comments.
Since the first time I watched Kill Bill Vol. 1, I have been mesmerized by Chiaki Kuriyama (栗山千明). There’s just something about her that makes me drop my jaw when I look at her.
While browsing around Kotaku today, I saw a post on a new commercial that she did for DMM to show their disc-based television and movie rental service for the PlayStation 3, which is basically the same service Netflix is offering here here in America, minus the hot Asian celebrity ad campaign.
There’s a link to Kotaku’s article after the break where you can check out the DMM.com commercial. For this post, I decided to include some video that I found on YouTube where you can better look at Chiaki.
Ai No Uta (aka Love Song) begins with a despondent woman telling us how she was an unwanted child. We are told that her mother did as much as she could to prove that theory again and again – including making her 7 year old daughter hide in a closet while she entertained male guests.
She is shunned by other children at school, is given stale bread to take to school for lunch, and her birthday or Christmas were ignored by her Mom. At one point, while still as a child, she had attempted to run away. She tried to live in a cardboard box nearby. When she was driven back home by severe rainstorms, and hunger, her mother greeted her with an indifferent, “Oh you’re back? Didn’t you run away?”
We learn just about all of this in voice-overs and flashbacks in the first 7 minutes or so of this TV series. This child, named Yoko Matsuda, and played as an adult by TV actress Miho Kanno, grew up to be a woman who lacked both friends and family. She was totally lacking in any kind of happiness at all. So we are not surprised when she, after giving up all hope, decides to take her life by jumping off a bridge in Tokyo. She climbs up on the railing and jumps off. All that remains are her shoes. Roll intro.
A few days ago when I was browsing around on YouTube, I caught some sexy clips of Yoko Kumada that I was looking to share here on the blog. As I was doing the preparation for this post, it occurred to me that Yoko deserved more than just a simple post of just a few video clips.
Plus, what better way to start off the new year and welcome 2010 than by appreciating an Asian beauty such as herself? So I went ahead and prepared a full post for Yoko. If you have any suitable information on Yoko that you would like to see added, please leave it in the comments section.
Ordinary Miracle is a story about two people who meet by chance on a train platform. They’re total strangers and unrelated to each other in any way other than both are coming or going either from or to their work while passing through this one station.
The event that caused them to meet was anything but romantic. On their own, they each consider or think that a third person, a man standing by himself at the far end of the train platform, may be going to take his own life by leaping in front of an oncoming train.
Independently they watch him, and as the train approaches, this man edges toward the side of the platform of the oncoming train. They spring into action and barely pull this man back to safety from a sure death by punching him and wrestling him down to the platform’s surface.. Read more…
