Tinacle – Tina Yuzuki (Rio)
Hardback HQ Nude Photobook
Photography by Matsumoto Yuuji
Released on 19th August 2007
Price: circa $45 USD
Hard to believe that this book is over two years old and it’s also as far as I know Tina’s first photobook. She has also appeared in the Chinkame series of photobooks as Rio. I saw this book some time back now but made no hesitation in purchasing it.
The book itself is nothing short of high quality, good hardback covers with glossy photo pages and the content must make it a real collector’s item. I even managed to scan one picture from it so far, hopefully I’ll get around to doing a few more. Read more…
Initially, I was just going to do a review of an IV that was recently released featuring Anri. But then I need to do a full article for those who have yet to discover Anri Sugihara, because I’m sure there still some out there. So if you are someone who has yet to become acquainted with Anri, here is your opportunity to do so because she has quickly became one of my favorite gravure idols.

I guess I saw Koyuki for the 1st of many times in The Last Samurai (2003). She had a key-role in the film as Taka, the widow of a warrior slain by Captain Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise). In her role she spoke only Japanese, but it was her ethereal beauty, and her soulful eyes that captured my attention.
I’ve since watched this film again and again. The reality is that Koyuki was so mesmerizing, that I’ve wanted to see her in other roles. I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been able to see Koyuki in a good number of Television drama series. Read more…
Remember Yuka, or was it Yuuka? Maybe you called her Yu-ka? However her name appeared in print, she was unforgettable. Her series of gravure videos back in 1998 and 1999: Breath, to, and be, became instant classic collectors’ items.
And if you look closely on the cdjapan page for each of these DVDs, you will see that on each of the DVD covers, her name appears as Yu-ka. Despite this, cdjapan lists her as Yuuka. And as you will see, her name has undergone yet another change.
She took leave of the gravure world after her Yuuka DVD in 2002, and headed for TV, print ads, and movies. She got work, and was never forgotten, but she was no longer a headliner.

Since this is Asian Beauty Appreciation, I wanted to give you guys an Asian beauty to appreciate. With so many beauties within the forum, I also wanted to feature someone that people may not be aware of and could use some attention.
While going through Beauty Boutique, I came across the thread for Yuka. I’m not too familiar with Yuki, so if you have any additional information on her, you can provide that detail using the comments. What I do know is that she likes basketball and looks good in a bikini.

Mayuka Okada – Pai Pressure
Saibunkan
Catalog # Saibunkan-47
If you’ve seen the new video Pai Pressure, featuring big bust Gravure idol Mayuka Okada, then you know what I’m talking about. This is not going to be a full scale review. Instead I will talk about just one scene, which we will call A Day at the Beach.
So Okada-san and the crew from Saibunkan set up for a beach shoot at the JWB Resort in Cebu, Phillipines. Okada was wearing a standard tiny bikini; small on top but covering at least half of her breasts. The bottoms displayed the T-back effect in back, while being a bit more normal in front. Definitely this would be a woman you would notice and remember if you crossed paths on the beach – no matter how small her bikini might be. Read more…
Emerging gravure star Miyabi Isshiki is back–in a big way–with the Glamorous Candy/Cute & Honey release called Premium Cutie. I’m calling it Miyabi’s best ever gravure video. That’s great news considering the comparative disappointment of her most recent DVDs, Miyabi Color and Colorful. At a satisfying 80 minutes, including a short ”making of” segment, Premium Cutie delivers more of Miyabi, and her gorgeous figure, than we’ve ever seen. And that’s a very good thing.
I confess that, as a friend puts it, I am rather partial to Miyabi, but there can be no doubting that she looks absolutely spectacular here. Her combination of pretty face and spectacular curves is jaw-droppingly stunning. Toss in a French maid outfit, sexy black and red lingerie, a really low-cut business shirt, various tight bikinis, pasties, red suspenders, not one but TWO pairs of white stockings, a half-shirt, a hula hoop, whipped cream and fruit, a trampoline and something called a “Rodeo Boy” (more on this later) and you’ve got eighty fabulous minutes of entertainment.

Isn’t she lovely?
Isn’t she wonderful?
Isn’t she precious?
Less than one minute old.
I never thought through love we’d be
Making one as lovely as she…
But isn’t she lovely made from love
Singer/songwriter Stevie Wonder wrote these words for the song, Isn’t She Lovely for his 1976 album, Songs In the Key of Life. He was celebrating the birth of his daughter Aisha. But here we are going to take a look at Japanese beauty Yui Aragaki and her recent award winning acting performance. While Yui is not my newborn daughter, for me, she is just a little more than a few days old as I had just started watching her in the J-TV Series Smile last week.
