Hoshino Aki (45) dominated the world as a gravure idol in the 2000s. Recently, the longing for her return to gravure has been growing louder and louder by the day. It all started on January 26, when TV personality Anna Sumiya (40) published a photo of Hoshino on her Instagram. Posing for the camera, Hoshino’s slim figure and taut bosom look much the same as when she was a gradol. Sumitani wrote, “Aki-chan looks totally in her 20s,” and “Please do gravure after a long time,” and the sports newspapers reported it under the headline, “Gravure long awaited.”
At the end of last year, TV personality Gal Sone published a photo of herself and Hoshino on Instagram and wrote, “Miraculous 40s,” to which her followers responded, “So young! Her skin is beautiful! On February 3, model Noriko Amakasu also posted a photo of herself and Hoshino on her Instagram. Hoshino’s friends have been very noticeable in their support of Hoshino.
When Hoshino first came into the limelight as a gravure idol in 2004, she was already 27 years old. Her branding was “the oldest gravure idol.” However, with her childlike face and dynamite body, which one would not expect from someone in her late twenties, and with her “I want you to do me!” She continued to be active as a gravure idol until her marriage to JRA jockey Kosei Miura in 2011 at the age of 34. Although Hono herself has not responded to the “guesses” of those around her, when she appeared at an event in Tokyo in 2011, a member of the press asked her, “Will you continue to be a gravure idol for 50 years? When asked by a member of the press at an event in Tokyo in 2011, “Will you continue to do gravure for 50 years?
I’m afraid of how old I’ll be then, but if I get an offer, I’d like to do it. It seems that only a few people would be interested… (laughs).
