There is no denying the sex appeal of the present day gravure girls, it is delightfully displayed in photo-books and videos, in skimpy swimsuits and costumes. I love them all, so bravo to them!
Though it also holds true that no matter how many sexy girls we might meet,our first encounter will always be the one we remember most fondly, and this is how I feel about Yuko Aoki, my first guilty pleasure! She’s the girl who first got me hooked on Asian models and actresses for life. Read more…

One of the great things about ScanLover having its own blog is that I can take a particular news article and go into more detail about it.
Chiaki Takahashi, who is the voice of Litchi Faye Ling for the fighting game BlazBlue, will be getting her own mouse pad. I remember seeing an article on her a while back stating that she was lending her voice talents to the game, but it really didn’t click in my head until I decided to perform a search and see if there was a thread for her within the forum. And lo and behold, there is.

I thought that it would be a great idea to have a regular column here on the blog that encompasses the latest news, updates, and recommendations on what to check out. With so much going on within the forum, it’s hard to keep track of it all. My goal is to post this column on a weekly basis, but depending on updates, it could be on a bi-weekly schedule. So here is What’s New in ScanLover for the week of October 18-24.

Chinese actress and singer, Fan Bingbing’s star has been glowing brightly ever since she starred as Jin Suo in the ever popular TV drama series “Huan Zhu Ge Ge”.
And she became popularly known in the international film scenes after starring in the controversial Chinese film by director Li Yu, “Lost in Beijing” (苹果). The film was banned by Chinese authorities in January 2008, even though it was successfully released internationally by French company Films Distribution.
Bingbing has a very busy schedule this year filming several high budget movies. After “Shinjuku Incident”, in which she starred alongside Jackie Chan was released in April, she starred in director He Ping’s US$6 million historical drama film “Wheat” (麦田).

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.
