Japanese Gravure Idols....underneath all those greatness.

Today's attention is Akiyama Rina.....


No, her butt wasn't photoshopped....

Ehem....a pervert I am, but not just a pervert without an opinion. So, please read on...

Akiyama Rina is one of the many godly Gravure Idols in Japan...or you might know them by the term J-Idol. For those not living in Japan, gravure idols means Japanese models who primarily pose in bikinis and underwear(like above), whose sole purpose is to make men like me nose-bleed and slips into a hypnotic state and buy whatever magazines that have her on the cover... and let me tell you, it works. I have piles of magazine on my bedroom floor that I have no memory buying....

Scary, ain't it?

But seriously....no, they don't have hypnotic powers and I don't have a piles of magazines on my bedroom floor. Gravure Idols actually mean Japanese models who pose for photo spreads in magazines(comics mainly) and for photobook(a heavenly photo album of godly girls wearing provocative clothing). And while they are called models, they don't particularly model for companies to be used in advertisements. Their body IS their product....and that's what they are promoting. Just in case you are wondering, no, none of the pictures contain sexual elements, they don't do pornography.

And there's more than just having their pictures taken...

Take for example, Akiyama Rina, girl in the arousing picture above(Go ahead, you know you want to scroll back up). She is named to have the best butt in 2007. Jealous girls out there might think that..

"So what? Her parents gave her that...it's not like she earned it!!"

I thought the same too...until I came across this show on TV. The show was about her giving advices on how to make your butt look good. Yeah, I know....lol right? But after watching the show, I thought "Holy ass...I never knew that such knowledge existed!!!"

There's a whole list of do and don't, that these idols follow when it involves certain parts of their ASSet...Rina gave up some of her secrets of trade in this show....


ALWAYS wear a T-back underwear if you want to wear shorts. Avoid the embarrassing panty-line...


*Show's host starts listening intently...*


Always stand with your hips leaning on one side....it enhances sexiness


Left - Before..."wow, sexy"
Right - After... "OOooohh...se-x-ay!!


After lathering your face with facial wash...


Lather your butt cheeks next. ALWAYS treat your butt like it's your face....it's worth buying extra tube of facial wash. You will be rewarded a pair of silky smooth "cheeks"...
This somehow redefines the vulgar word "buttface"


Caption says "Sleep without your underwear"
Your butt spent one day being 'trapped', it's better to 'let it rest' at night...


The host can barely contain her excitement now....she was nodding and smiling all the way!!



And lastly, it ends with her giving advice on "exercising your butt"....the top being "walk your butt" and "butt-flex" on the bottom...

I don't know bout you guys, butt I find this amusing. Where else other than in Japan that do TV shows about butts? And where else other than Japan where real girls wearing real T-back appear live on TV??

Makes you suspect there's a Butt Faculty in some V-arse-sity somewhere..

In Japan, where gravure idols face somewhat fierce competition among each other, special measures are taken to maintain their Asset. Apparently, you don't get named Miss Ass-Japan 2007 just for being born with potential butts...you have to "develop" them....

I studied long hours to prepare for SPM, went through a lot of interviews, get Malaysian taxpayers to sponsor my coming to Japan, only to watch these kind of TV programs. Now, who said that this world isn't fair??
