…and in Hoshino Aki’s case it’s an absolutely gorgeous life @ 34 years of age (*´∀`*) ♪!!I mean can you believe she was born in the 70’s and she’s even older than I am and just gosh* you would never guess it~! (Edit: brain~hiccup fixed =P) would love to look this amazing @ 34.
And likewise Akki’s been appearing in men’s idol/entertainment magazines for what seems like forever now and she really went through quite a body and just overall appearance change beginning some time last year when she appeared to have lost a noticeable amount of weight but to be certain….Akki was never never ever in desirable need of weight loss as she’s always been so perfect~*!…so it’s all the more surprising. Did her boobs also go through some sort of reduction??….if you check out her older photo shoots you can be the judge :P. I’m thinking definitely no but I guess with her thinner frame you’d think that she’d appear even larger up there* than before so that may possibly play a role in the illusion if it is just that.And again I totally think she’s totally 100% naturally the same and just a slimmer picturesque beauty of herself =).
You know I never did quite have an inkling to compare Hoshino Aki to Ogura Yuko earlier but facial feature wise with this “new” Akki I find myself seeing some of Ogura Yuko in her or rather vice versa as Akki would be like the older “sister” image between the two~ 😛 but truly both defy age. And on a side note with the recent news that Ogura Yuko is planning to be married later this year and possibly on her birthday right here in lovely Hawaii~♥!…I may just have to unload or rather upload a lot of Ogura Yuko~♥ goodness to this site which I’ve had a bit on hold until now, you know before her marriage as in some sense or maybe not, would it see odd to continue to view her in an idol♥ sense after marriage?? I guess that could go up for debate =). Again though I wonder if you also see a quite distinct likeness between the two as I do?? Like Akki could be Yuko’s older sister in some parallel universe? And they both personify the highest level of idol♥ sensuality….both produced and natural~ ^ ^.
Getting briefly back to her seemingly sudden body change/or not, it’s also interesting to note that Akki did write a book where she details and tips on just how to maintain that oh~so~sexy* physique always!! Mmm…wonder if that added a spin on her personal appearance too? I mean say if you were suddenly thrust forward as the new face of Jenny Craig or Subway~♥♥♥??….I’m thinking there would be an unimaginable added pressure to promote such an image where you’ll readily be perceived as being “ideal”..slim….desirable? I could go on and on :P.
Just above and left I’ve been pondering about that particular look* and if it’s a bikini imitating lingerie or if it’s lingerie imitating a bikini??…(^q^)!
Hoshino Aki has also interested me with her very name as her birth~name is traditionally completely written in kanji for its meaning while she has opted for a simpler writing in hiragana when addressed as her idol~self although even that has been blurred a bit in the past as the two are in a sense interchangeable. For her career Akki has mainly pursued modeling no doubt but she also has some notable acting roles in both t.v. dramas and movies and for me it caught me a bit by surprise seeing that she was cast in “Gokusen” the movie…..and for some reason I didn’t recognize her readily but rather learned of her inclusion afterward xD. I wonder how many of you own a collection of Akki’s many trading card sets??….her image DVDs??…and tons and tons of magazine appearances over the years??
In any case, Akki effortlessly defuses the notion that “idoling♥” is predetermined to “end” or even taper off in one’s latter 20’s and for that alone she is endearing and a fresh image to appreciate, and ageless beauty if you will in a culture where youth will always reign supreme with the never ending cycle of “elder” graduations. And in this most profound beauty, the older and aging idol♥ fan (us) may find an oasis of salvation, one against a landscape of both time and inevitable beautiful change~.
The following photo shoot touts the theme of “Princess” and Hoshino Aki is the ever gorgeous image of idol~royalty dontcha think o(*´∀`)o゛♥?And it’s one of the much more extensive online photo shoots too.
Albeit okay..maybe a bit naughty for a princess but in gravure idol♥~land it’s very often one in the same~ =). How this photo shoot pushes the sensual* envelope with each photo encounter, a progressive sense of undress*. I think the red’s most sexy* though…and..
..she’s just so sexy* here and alluring…perfect~* just ♥!! I’ll now leave you alone with your thoughts….♥♥♥! She’s just too sexy* for words!!!!
Don’t you mean that she is older than you? 🙂
My goodness, she looks ageless! Darn fine indeed!

Akki is just so like wow~* and I don’t think many would even think twice about her age not knowing but then when you realize it then it’s like wow~* x like a million =). I think it’s the style of this photo shoot…..like each image is trying to seduce the viewer one frame at a time :P. I actually have quite a lot of her articles from older magazines but most aren’t anything like this one that’s for sure! More on the cutesy and playful side. It is!!! If I look anything like this in like 5 years I’d feel truly blessed~*!!!! Like her book illustrates one must really take conscious steps to take care of yourself both inside and out and in your latter age it really makes such a difference~. Have you finished moving yet?…I’m sure you’ll get internet up soon ne~? A lot of unexpected musical ventures have happened in the past too like with Nakama Yukie~♥ but if Akki did then I totally missed it (´∩`*)!

I’m thinking at some point I may reach some of them in my flashback zasshi series here….keep a look out for them =). Oh she wrote a book actually about the techniques and how she manages to keep herself so youthful inside and out.
Oh that’s really bad =(!!!….I wonder why your internet doesn’t work there and I hope someone’s able to fix it soon.

A~h was waiting for your response as to whether there are already scans up somewhere or not…..and surely Yui~chan♥ must be the center of attention ne~ love that!
Mmm…I don’t know really but at first when I heard them they seemed so different and in particular with their mixing of of traditional Japanese folk with modern pop and since then though they’ve sounded much more in the norm so to speak and it’s just with so many idol groups to love out there I really need to choose by heart as it get’s pretty expensive being a fan of so many.
I’m going to have to hold back on Passpo for now…..you’ve just got me so invested~♥ in Tomato ‘nPine….I wonder if they’re getting enough attention? I’ll certainly do my best to help promote them here when their singles arrive~* =).
Only the first and third you’ve mentioned here but it’s been a casual following so far….I sometimes really need to fall in “love” with a particular member or song to really fall head over heels which then gets me to inevitably order their releases~*. Ohhhhh you’re already tempting me with one of their members? Okunaka Makoto…….

i like a lot momoclo, they are really fun 😛 and good singers/dancers, in special Ariyasu Momoka <3~~
humm like i said follow they downloading things from internet for now ^^… and when u get some free extra money u buy their things :3
well i think they get lot of attention, u said 5 indies and one debut now so i think their produce stay giving a lot of attention to they, and they appear in tokyo festival.. so i want their get more attention and lot of things to do, and start to show a lot and get concerts and this things
but dont forget Passpo pls, is a great group and they are really good singers.. u watched they in tokyo festival ?? and listened the songs i told u ??
and do what i told, download the things to u stay tunned in the group hehe
hahah u are funny with this things about love one girl of the group to buy group things
