Back in the 2000s, when we first start doing this blog, one of our favorite gravure idols was Chisato Morishita.
Now 37 and officially retired from gravure, the ravishing Chisato has nonetheless been tempted back to glamor modeling for a new photo shoot.
It’s her first gravure shoot in ten years and it’s a triumphant homecoming for the lady who has now gloriously entered jukujo territory. It was recently showcased on Japanese TV.
Chisato was a race queen and then a gradol, before moving into mainstream television presenting and some acting. Her career has dried up a little of late. She did, however, write a novel. These days she seems to focus on working as a Pilates and golf trainer. Perhaps that explains why she looks in such great shape.
The shoot was apparently done specifically for the TV show on NTV. The media reports suggest this is a one-off and not a full return to gravure, but perhaps the buzz might mean the shoot will appear in a weekly tabloid or even as a photo book.
Regardless, we think Chisato looks better than ever and we hope that she uses this as a launchpad to drop the Pilates and make a full comeback.
