This is Furuse’s debut in Japan. It was the first time for this magazine to photograph her so closely and directly in front of the camera (June 4, 2004 issue).

What did “FRIDAY” report 10, 20, and 30 years ago? In “Playback Friday,” we take a look back at the topics that were hot at the time. This time, we present “Eri Furuse’s ‘Super Body’ Photographed in Parts,” which appeared in the June 4, 2004 issue 20 years ago.

Eri Furuse, then an NHK Yamagata newscaster known as “Suicup,” became popular nationwide after the magazine reported on her affair with Montedio Yamagata coach Koichi Hashiratani in its July 18, 2003, issue. Her contract with NHK was set to expire in March, and her departure was closely watched. This color-page article introduces her debut press conference at a commercial TV station and her subsequent “real” appearance in her own clothes. (Descriptions in parentheses are quoted from past articles.)

I didn’t want to be called a “swiss cup,” so I went on “Ulleung.

On May 14, 2004, former NHK Yamagata anchor Eri Furuse, then 26, held a press conference in Tokyo to announce her debut as a commercial broadcaster. This magazine has seen her “in the flesh” many times in the past, but this was the first time we were able to get such a close and serious look at her.

Her first job after signing a contract with “Office Two One,” to which Hiroshi Kume also belongs, was as a reporter for the TV program “Sekai Urugurun Jyoki” (TBS). She appeared in front of the interviewers with a nervous look on her face. Her pure white suit hid her breasts and neckline, but she could not hide the “fullness” of her “95cm G cup” (estimated size).

Incidentally, the first question that came up was “What is your real bust size? The first question that came up was “What is your real bust size? I don’t have that much. During the press conference, the questions were more about “swiss cups” than the content of the program, so she was in a bit of a bad mood, saying, “I didn’t want to be called a swiss cup, so I went on ‘Ulleung’. ……

However, he was still happy to make his national debut. After the press conference, she changed from her stuffy suit into a sleeveless suit and jeans and went out for a night out in Akasaka with her office staff. After dinner at a Japanese restaurant, she was in a good mood, probably due to the alcohol she had consumed. She also showed a cute smile.

Even before the affair report in ’03, Furuse had been favored with the nickname “Suikup” by some female announcer lovers. Her national debut was something her fans had been waiting for, but she did not seem to like the nickname.

I want to treasure these breasts because they are a treasure given to me by my father and mother,” she said, “but I am already 26 years old…I am free to have expectations,” but she was not interested in a gravure job. She was talking about her desire to work as a newscaster.

However, in 2006, she showed off her gravure in “Shukan Gendai” to the delight of her fans. She became more relaxed than she had been at first, and began to show her “swiss cup” story on variety shows and the like.

In August 2011, Furuse married a man eight years her senior, and the following year she became the mother of a child. Last year, she returned to gravure for the first time in six years and became a topic of conversation. In an interview with “Daily Shincho” in March of this year, she talked about her thoughts back in 2004.

In an interview with “Daily Shincho” in March of this year, she talked about her thoughts back in 2004: “Now I accept the word ‘swiss cup,’ but at first I resisted the word. I think I was immature at the time. I guess I was immature at the time. Now I feel like I’ve relaxed in a good way and am using it well.”

When she gives lectures, which are the focus of her recent activities, she often uses the word “swiss cup” as a “catchphrase.

I came this close. This is the power from the front (June 4, ’04 issue).
This is a back view that is hard to see on TV. It is as attractive as Suikup (June 4, ’04 issue).

After the press conference, the group moved to Akasaka. Caster Furuse gets out of the cab. She was dressed in a very casual outfit, a complete change from her appearance at the press conference (June 4, ’04 issue).
After getting out of the cab, she went into a Japanese-style restaurant with three men who appeared to be from her office (June 4, 2004 issue).
Caster Furuse was in a good mood, probably after having had a few drinks. On the street, she was laughing and tapping on the shoulder, making friends with the office staff (June 4, 2004 issue).
