Eh, thanks (or not) for the butts and boobs, I guess. (I'm a heteronormative woman...I have flowers on my user handle and all.)

LoL sorry, my mistake. I just found your post as the perfect lead into posting how much of a model the girl in question is.

=/ I mean, I knew gravure idols did risque photo books, but I didn't realize they'd just have loads and loads of, well, this (I just took a gander at "Sweet Fruit #8"; spoiler alert, the fruit is her tits). Then again, I don't know why I didn't assume this existed.

Are gravure idols held to the same impossible purity standards as other (non-gravure) idols? I assume so. I guess the fantasy is that only the viewer is privy to the video in question.

So only 100 copies to have a date but where would you put 100 copes of 1 cd that dosent make you look like a crazy stalker

Sell some, birthday/holiday presents, and whatever else works. Besides, one to use and at least one for an autograph, so you're only starting with 98 to get rid of, tops.

No. Sorry, but the only decent thing was their voice (and their looks maybe?).

I don't understand how anyone can live in Japan with how expensive everything is. Seriously...


Wages are high too (not in anime and manga though) and while media and property are expensive (specially in Tokyo), food and other necessities are not.

But a 100 cd's..pff..that's a lot of coin for a lousy date.

Prostitution ftw


At least with real prostitution for $2700 I'd be gauranteed sex in every position with a high class one.

This though is a waste of money, going on a date with someone who wil most likely not ever give you the time of day, especially so since the people who bought a 100 of the same album will most likely be introverted loners who have no idea how to talk to women.

What a thrilling (translation - cringe worthy) date that'll be.

Someone is going to wise up and make a idol group made from strippers and it'll be like buy 100 copies and you can spend 30 min in VIP.


Not so much strippers...but there have been idol groups put together made up of JAV idols.

I'm pretty sure you can get a legit escort for that much for the entire night.

Gravure comes in different flavors so it depends what you're into. There's ones more taseful than that Sweet Melons #8 one you saw. They have the idols talking and reciting their lives and childhood experiences, dreams, how they got into the business, and other autobiographic topics while they're modeling. It can be pretty intimate at times. Others can be them doing funny skits and stuff. Kazuki Shimizu's idol DVD had him acting clearly similar to his role on Super Sentai which was pretty funny when they take advantage of an actor's known roles.

Admitted, I usually only care for gravure of actors I know and like, so that probably has an affect on me being invested into their stuff. Girls I know from programs like Super Sentai or Kamen Rider for example. What's nice about that is Toei sometimes puts out official gravure DVDs to capitalize on this. Mao Ichimichi and Kazuki Shimizu aka Gokai Yellow and Gokai Green got some put out under Toei's label, and they ran an advertismeents for their DVDs on some of the Super Sentai DVDs, but there's other gravure by them who are not under Toei's label and under other agencies.
