Know Japanese girls’ idol character?-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Japanese girls’ love kawaii characters, like Kitty-chan. Kitty-chan is now a Japanese character loved all over the world. I sort of grew up with kitty chan. I had Kitty-chan bag, sandal, and stationeries when I was just a little kid. I think Sanrio characters were originally aimed at kids. How ever, around 1996, Kitty-chan became a boom among Japanese school girls. After the boom among Japanese school girls, the boom gradually came larger and larger, and now the boom surrounds more than 70 counties in a world.

Here is another Japanese character loved by Japanese girls. The name of the character is Marimokkori. It’s like a combined word of green alga and penis erection. Indeed, the character is a green alga with penis erection. This character is a boom among Japanese girls now. You can find Marimokkori goodies any sight seeing place.



How do you like new Japanese character, loved by Japanese girls? This boom started by Japanese girls, and now many generations love this character. It may come a worlds’ character like kitty-chan.

Not like disgustingly funny, crazy funny, just loud, but more like intelligent funny.

Japanese girls are dissapointed.-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Japanese representative missed Miss Universe because of disgusting national costume.

Emiri Miyasaka, the reprisentitive oh Japan in Miss Universe, showed the national costume that she showed in May got a lot of negative comments in Japan. I really was discussing. Mini Kimono, with shocking pin underwear peeking, with garter belts. Kimono is sort of like our pride, and I think many people didn’t like kimono presented so porn. So she added some peaces to make the mini kimono longer.

Japanese girls are very disappointed with the results. This year’s representative wasn’t even nominated as final 15. In 2006, representative of Japan won second place. In 2007, representative of Japan won first place, and in year 2008, representative of Japan didn’t win but entered top 15. This year nothing, with such an unpleasant costume.

I think she didn't get good result coz she she doesn't look cheerful like the representatives of other country. Or did she lost coz she didn’t show panties?

Poor Ayaka. All the Japanese girls’ are on your side-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Ayaka

Japanese female singer Ayaka canceled her live event for her Graves' disease.

Ayaka is a one of the popular female singer is Japan. She is popular among both Japanese boys and girls, but I think she is more popular among Japanese girls than boys. Ayaka writes her lyrics on her own, and I think it reflects Japanese girls’ point of view. That’s why her song and lyrics touches Japanese girls’ heart.

Ayaka is married to one of the most handsome and talented Japanese actor Hiro Mizushima. He is very popular among Japanese girls. Some Japanese girls are crazy about him. When Ayaka announce the marriage with Hiro Mizushima, I think many of the Japanese girls were jealous of her for being so talented in singing, and marring such a handsome man. However, she also made an announcement of her Graves' disease with the marriage announcement. So I think many of her fans, not only female fans but al so male fans, were shocked to hear that, than her marriage announcement.

Hiro Mizushima

I hope we gets better and let us hear her song again.
Many Japanese girls’ are worried about you and wishing your recovery, Ayaka!

By the way, do you think Hiro Mizushima is handsome?
He is really is popular among Japanese girls even he is married, to Ayaka. He is treated as one of the most popular and handsome Japanese actor on media. I don’t like his face that much, but do you? His eyes are little bit too big for Japanese boys.

Sayonara Miu-chan (;_;)-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Miu Nakamura, Japanese semi porn idol announced a retirement from semi porn idol.

What is semi porn idol?
It is a word that I made it up. It refers to a genre of Japanese female idol, so called gravure idol in Japan. I maid it up coz I wasn’t quite sure what such an idol are called in English.

I introduced Miu Nakamura when she was wearing Chun-Li form street fighter’s costume. I didn’t know about here until then, but I though she is very pretty. This time, I read an interview of her and her retirement. She said she stared semi porn idol when she was 14. 14 is very young to start such a job. She said that she always wanted to quite before 20. Usually, this kind of idols quite around 25, and many of them seem to transfer to an actress or TV talent, but not all of them can survive. It’s quite hard to be an idol.

I’m not a lesbian so I don’t find any sexual feeling against her, but I liked her, she is cute! I bet many Japanese guys are disappointment to hear her retirement. She has released a sexy photo book “School Uniform Wonder” that grabbed maniac uniform loving fans.

Don’t you think it’s a matter of time to get nude?-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Ai Kago a scandalous Japanese idol is releasing a photo book on August 24th 2009.
It is said that she challenged picture with overexposure (for an “innocent” Japanese idol).

On 17th, Ai Kago commented on her blog, that she did not take overexposure picture for erotic meaning but an artistic meaning. She says “human art equals body” and as a result of human art, she took body exposing pictures.

mmm…It is obvious that it was taken for erotic means. I assume the Ai Kago is aware of that, but since she denied admitting it on her blog, may be she is pretty negative in taking body exposing pictures. I can feel the intention of her surroundings tiring to make money with fallen idol. Don’t you think it’s a matter of time for Ai Kago to get in nude? I think she is going to take nude soon. That seems to be the only way left to get attention. I hope she doesn’t do that. When idols get in nude, they lose the most important pure and innocent image for idol. They will never be flattered as cute idol again.

If there were an adults who would care about her not money, she didn’t have to follow the path of fallen idol.

Ai Kago was really cute!

Her new single released in June 2009

Why Mikity?-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Miki Fujimoto

Miki Fujimoto is Japanese cute female idol, known as Mikity. She used to be a member of Japanese female idol unit Morning Musume. She is definitely one of the cutest Japanese girls.

Now she is married to a Japanese comedian Tomoharu Shouji. I hate this guy. He is not funny at all, but he is popular comedian on TV. I guess he will be counted as one of the succeeding comedian.

Tomoharu Syouji

Why Mikity?
You are so cute, why didn’t you get married with better guys? There should have been many boys much better than Shouji wanting to date with you.

I’m not a big fan of Mikity or anything, but I just don’t understand why she had to marry with such a boring man. Mikity is one of the cutest Japanese idols. Why?

Mikity is not popular now as she used to be. She lost fame by scandal with Shoji. She had pictures her dating with Shoji taken.

It’s so hard to be a Japanese female idol. You can’t even date someone, coz other wise they will loose job offers. Where does this strong attachment to purity comes from?

Fallen Idol Kago-chan.-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Kago-chan was one of the cutest members of Japanese female idol group Morning Musume, but now she has fallen from the fame.

She is going to release a photo book on 24th August. This photo book is a collection of pictures when she attacked the Japanese gossip magazine Friday publishing office. There are some sexy pictures of her. She seems to do anything to regain the fame but it is not working successfully.

Kago-chan first came out as young and cute new member of Japanese female idol unit Morning Musume. I think she was only 12 when she first joined Morning Musume. I remember many men around 20 to 30 years old were crazy about her, which appealed disgusting for me when I was a high school girl.

What made Kago-chan fall from the fame?

The trigger of her fall was the scope by gossip magazine Friday. Friday took the picture of Kago-chan smoking cigarette, when she was 16 of 17. Smoking is allowed for over 20 in Japan. Japanese female idols aren’t allowed to have boyfriends, smoke, or do any kinds of dirty image, they have to be pure and innocent.

Here is a web site that Kago-chan challenges sexy shots.

Every body love Noriko Sakai.-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Japanese actress Noriko Sakai, gains popularity by using drug.

Noriko Sakai got arrested by drug use on 9th Augast.
Seems like she gaining popularity by being announced by the news.
Surprisingly, Noriko Sakai’s CD Aoi Usagi released in 1995, marked 1st place in iTune music store this week.

Did you download Noriko Sakai’s CD?

I’m reading Angels and Devils by Dan Brown, Maximilian Kohler; a character in the book, says “repots by mass media is the best commercial” (something like that, I’m reading it in Japanese) What Maximilian Kohler says may be true. By looking at Noriko Sakai’s case, reports about her on the news say anything positive against her, but as a result, many people was inspired to download her CD. I guess the content of the new doesn’t matter. Any news that seems something big inspires people to buy.

I don’t like seeing CD making success buy bad news.
Like Michel Jackson’s CD made success again by his death.

Earthquake-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

This morning, there was a quite a big earthquake in Japan.
11th august 2009, at 5a.m. 6.5 magnitudes in Shizuoka prefecture Japan.

5 in the morning, I was sleeping. I woke up with the alarm, but not by my usual alarm clock. It was the apartment’s security alarm ringing, saying “earthquake is coming, earthquake is coming.” It was my first time to hear such an alarm. I didn’t understand what it was warning, with my half sleeping mind. When the alarm went for its fifth time, I understood. Then the next sudden, earthquake came. I could do nothing, except to whish this earthquake is not the ONE. The apartment was shaking side to side, so I felt this might not be the ONE, whishing for vertical shake not to come. This time, vertical shake didn’t come, and the earthquake was over. So I convinced that this earthquake was not the ONE.

In this earthquake, Shizuoka prefecture seems to be most damaged by the morning news. 12 injured, but no dead. I live approx. 300 km away from Shizuoka but it was a big earthquake.

Gigantic earthquake like the one in Kobe can happen any ware in Japan, that’s the notion in Japan. When the earth sakes, we whish that this is not the gigantic earthquake. That is pretty much the only thing we can do, just whish. Probably, there will be a news show about preparation for the gigantic earthquake, but I think I can’t move like this time whether I perpetrate or not.

Hmmm…Miss pretty girl-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

12th national beauty contest was healed.


This is the grand champion.

Ayano Kudo. 12 years old.

Many young and famous Japanese idols won champion in this contest. Like Aya Ueto. I think she is the most popular idol and actress in Japan.

Would this girl become popular like Aya Ueto?

See the picture of nominees.

I’ve checked pictures of all nominees, and if I was the judge, I think I would choose her as a champion. Reason is, she looks less ambitious then other girls in winning in the contest. I thinks there are girls who are cuter than her like Mari Tamaki, but they look ambitious.
Mari Tamaki

I feel like I can read ambition in Mari Tamaki’s eyes under her perfect smile, which appeals minus on purity and innocence. Somehow our culture expect purity and innocence for Japanese female idol. I think that’s why Japanese female idols tend to be young and child looking, then sexy and glamorous American female idols.

The girl who looked the most pure and innocent is the grand champion winning Ayano Kudo.

What could have ruined her life?-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

Japanese actress and singer Noriko Sakai, known as Norippy in Japan, got arrested for drug use.


Noriko Sakai was a popular idol in her teenage and twenties. She was very popular among Japanese men and women for cute ideal wife and mother. Not only in Japan, but Noriko Sakai was very popular in China too. I think many Chinese are also shocked about this news. Noriko Sakai was an idol of purity and innocence. I think none of the fans doubted that she was doing drug, until she ran away.

Before drug was found in Noriko Sakai’s apartment, gossip reporter said that Noriko Sakai’s case may become a trigger of drug uses investigation on the whole Japanese world of entertainment. The gossip reporter said this BEFORE the policed announced Noriko Sakai as wanted. I think the gossip reporter knew that Noriko Sakai was doing drug.

I’m really sad to hear Noriko Sakai as a criminal, but you know, many of the TV talents got arrested by drug use, but some of them are still working in the world of entertainment. If Noriko Sakai didn’t run away and make this into a such a big issue, I think many of the fans would feel poor about her and kept supporting her, but now, I think there are no one left to support her.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

I think she should have done Chun-li’s role.



This is Miu Nakamura, a Japanese semi porn idol.
I’m going to refer what we call “gravure idol” (pin-up girls) semi porn idol, coz I think it fits perfect.

Chun-Li was my hero since my child hood. She is pretty and strong. I liked her Chinese look. In Japan, China has some ancient spiritually cool image. I used to play Chun-Li on video game and also imitate her moves.

I’m so disappointed with this film Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
I never doubted that Chun-Li is Chinese, but in the move she looks so western. Kristin Kreuk a Canadian actress plays Chun-Li. I think she should have taken the guts to deny the offer.

Why wont they cast more Asian looking actress. Like Zhang Ziyi?

So is the movie Dragon Ball. It’s just not right. Some of the characters names are from a Chinese legend Saiyuki (Journey to the West).

Any way, I’m not gonna watch it.

The poor Japanese idol-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

This is Maki Goto. I think she is a poor girl.


She debuted in a Japanese female idol unit Morning Musume.
When she first came out, she was flattered like the cutes Japanese girl ever. She was doing well as an idol, I think. Doing her pinnacle, her younger brother became and idol. He did not succeed. Her brother got arrested for mob of something like that and with her brother, Maki's image failed. As the Morning Musume lost popularity and as Maki Goto got older, she gradually lost popularity and faded from the TV.

After, I heard that she went to US to practice singing and dance. Now she is back as new Maki Goto. Her image has changed completely. Last time, she was young, cute and was dancing and singing like stupid as the other Japanese female idols do. Now she looks adult, foreign and sexy.

Do you think she will come popular again?

To me she seem to seek for position between Ayumi Hamasaki, and Kumi Koda. Both are popular Japanese female idol. I like her face. She has a cool but beautiful face.

Maki Goto Official HP watch her music video here she is really cute!

THE Japanese idol-by Japanese Girls Interest Navi

The best Japanese idol is Aya Mastuura.

In Japan, it is like an old tradition, that both female and male idols are prohibited to have girlfriends or boyfriend. Even just seeing each other in a private, cheek kissing, holding hands will become a scandal. Now this tradition has come loose, but still when a scandal comes out, it will be told as if it is a bad thing. Japanese paparazzi are always after small scandals.

A lot of idols have lost their popularity from this tradition. I think female Japanese idols seem to be the victims of this tradition. If there are tiny scandals with boys, the male fans’ heart and support will go a way, coz she is no longer their own idol, and there are lot of cute Japanese idol in replace.

Female Japanese idols are expected to be young, pure (like virgin), weak, and cute. I think this is Japanese guys’ fantasy on Japanese girls. Japanese girls have to pretend like this in order become popular.

The Japanese female idol, who is perfectly playing the role of idol, is Aya Mastuura. She is young, cute, hasn’t let the scandal damage her impression, and still has pure image. I think she is a pro.

It may be an overlap, but oh well. I think it’s a different girl.

Miss Magazine is a beauty contest held by Japanese publishing company Koudansya. It is one of the ways to become an idol in Japan. There are many female idols that won championship in this contest and became famous. The girls within the 5 should become famous idol soon.

I think Koto Takagi is the cutes girl of the five.
What do you think?
But Sari Kobayashi won the grand champion, I guess she is going to become the most famous of the five.

All of the girls are young and cute. I wish I were young, cute and skinny like them.
