Enough of Japanese pornography, a new genre is emerging and strengthening.
Japan’s newest batch of idols on the wrong side of 10
Japan’s market for pubescent pin-up queens has already proved to be lucrative, with thousands of perverted consumers forking out their hard-earned yen for a DVD filled with images of a scantily-clad 11-year-old called Saaya, who is billed as a “kyonyu,” or “buxom” idol.
Saaya has also joined forces with California-born 12-year-old Jessica and another 12-year-old called Shizuka Umemoto to form a group called Sweet Kiss, which has Japan’s nerdish otaku drooling lecherously at the various signings and “handshake events” they attend, the men’s weekly says.
Now, however, Japan is stooping even lower with the emergence of 9-year-old Mizuki Yoshii (read more), who has become the face of Japan’s vile but burgeoning Under-10 idol business.
Born on May 15, 1996, Mizuki still hasn’t reached double figures. But her sales figures are already impressive. Her photo collection went on sale in March, with the initial print run set at 6,000 copies. It has already gone into a second printing and topped 10,000 copies, the standard for a best seller in Japan. What’s more, hits on her talent agency’s website have skyrocketed since the 9-year-old appeared on the scene.
“At the moment, Japan’s pin-up market is polarized, with Aki Hoshino, at 28, representing the oldest segment of the market and the Under-15s at the other end,” Masahiro Kitagawa, a self-professed “idol spotter,” tells Shukan Post. “The weakening of Japanese men means guys now place a lot of importance on imagining they have control over the opposite sex, which has sparked the emergence of the Under-15 market. The way they’ve got the girls changing costumes all the time is supposed to be a way to satisfy guys’ various fantasies. The polarization of the market is likely to continue, but I don’t think it will go any lower than the Under-10s.” (By Ryann Connell)

I can’t find a picture of 9-year-old Mizuki Yoshii in the internet though. I’m curious how she looks like. If you do have a picture of her, do point me to the link or send it to dew[at]beconfused.com
(Saaya Irie, said to be a Japanese F-cup, poses in bikini. This picture is taken when she’s 11.)
She does look cute, doesn’t she? She doesn’t even look 11. She’s 11 and Japanese men love her kawaii-ness (cuteness). Saaya Irie (入江紗綾, that would read ‘Irie Saaya’ in Japanese) is quoted to say this to the Chinese people, “Please stop these anti-Japanese hijinks. If you don’t, I won’t like you anymore.”
Japan Times claimed that Saaya Irie may improve bilateral relationships between the currently-strained China and Japan relationships. It is reported that her picture hass been posted in a Chinese forum with slogan reading, “An 11-year-old Japanese girl with large breasts has a proclamation for all Chinese people! Dear elder brothers, a beautiful young Japanese girl is beseeching you.”
To make the entire ordeal more sordid, the slogan continues that her breasts would “rise up” if the people “unite for the sake of China’s democracy.” (Read more of it at Nozomi Online.)
(Saaya Irie, Shizuka Umemoto, and Jessica in Sweet Kiss, a band that doesn’t produce any music yet I believe.)
Imaginary situation on how to start a band.
Girl 1: Yay, let’s start a band, I love music.
Girl 2: Great idea, yay!
Girl 3: I love to sing, yay! Start a band, start a band.
Girl 2: So how are we going to start a band?
Girl 1 and 3: Yay, start a band, start a band!
Like I said earlier, I don’t think Sweet Kiss came out with any music. I don’t know what’s Jessica’s last name too. It would be interesting if they start singing. They’ll probably join those gravure idols who gets converted to actresses and singers. At least that is a more credible talent than F-cup breasts.
See more pictures of Saaya Irie.
[The reporter has mistakenly cited Mizuki Yoshii as an example. Her name is actually Mizuki Furui.]

Stupid reporter make a mistake. Her name is Mizuki Furui!!!
And yes, she is born 1996 15 May and she is a STAR in Japan!!!

by Andre (May 12, 2006 at 8 AM)Andre: Yes, I realized that too. Her name is Mizuki Furui (Ã¥?¤äº?ã?¿ã??ã??). The reporter mixed up the pronounciation of ‘Ã¥?¤äº?’ which can be read either way.
I can’t access Mizuki Furui’s page at the moment, I’ll take a look later. Thanks for the link.
Her birthday is coming, just 3 days from today. She’ll be 10 soon.
by Mr. Dew (May 12, 2006 at 1 PM)Hello,
the reason you can’t find any pictures is that her name is Mizuki Furui, not Yoshii. Use the right name, and you will find the picture of this rather normal looking child.
Best
Daniel
by Daniel Beattie (May 12, 2006 at 4 PM)Daniel Beattie: Yes, I found her pictures already. She is cute but, like you say, rather normal looking.
by Mr. Dew (May 12, 2006 at 8 PM)Somehow it’s kind of sick/weird to make bikini photos of kids and make money out of it and an idol.
by Nafcom (May 12, 2006 at 11 PM)And this I say being male, heh.
Nafcom: The Japanese think that it’s healthy. Well, I just thought it’s strange because they is nothing much to see, hahaa… Saaya Irie doesn’t look 11 though.
by Mr. Dew (May 13, 2006 at 9 AM)yeah i agree. i feel weird while reading this post. doesn’t seem right morally…
by sky (May 13, 2006 at 9 AM)sky: Yeah. I was even wondering if I should post the pictures of Mizuki Furui (å?¤äº?ã?¿ã??ã??). She just look like any other 9 year old though. Nothing special to know.
by Mr. Dew (May 13, 2006 at 11 AM)Mr. Dew/Sky: Good that I am not alone with my feeling.
by Nafcom (May 13, 2006 at 5 PM)I don’t think I feel fancy for more pics like that.
Today, one can do a lot with the help of makeup…
Nafcom: Yeah, different tastes with those Japanese people I guess, hahaa…
by Mr. Dew (May 13, 2006 at 7 PM)Nafcom: Still, not normal
by Nafcom (May 13, 2006 at 10 PM)err…
by Nafcom (May 13, 2006 at 10 PM)Nafcom: Yeah, I realized that the Japanese people actually like these stuff quite a lot. I thought it’s only one or two girls like that but I am so wrong. They’ve got like one whole industry for these girls selling DVDs and photobooks.
by Mr. Dew (May 13, 2006 at 11 PM)Mr Dew: Feels like a first sign of paedophiles :-/
by Nafcom (May 14, 2006 at 12 AM)Nafcom: Yeah, I wonder how are the paedophile rates there.
by Mr. Dew (May 14, 2006 at 12 AM)Mr Dew: You should also post about a new trend (this time in USA) for new Jeans sizes; 0 and even 00! That is for extreme people. The new trend is to see all the bones you have! That’s really skinny and ugly, but there is a trend now, girls getting anorexia just to fit in 0 or even 00 jeans! Seen it on TV, such thin people look extremely scary and ugly!
by Nafcom (May 14, 2006 at 9 AM)Nafcom: Really? I haven’t heard about that. You seen those people in Germany? Or is it just a U.S. thing?
by Mr. Dew (May 14, 2006 at 12 PM)[...] The 3 girls Saaya Irie (å?¥æ±?ã??ç´?綾, read Irie Saaya � family names first in Japan), Runa (ç??å¥?) and Jessica will continue being starred in photobooks and sorts.

by //beconfused » Blog Archive » mizuki//furui (Jun 2, 2006 at 12 AM)I realize this is a few months late, but if you would like to see a picture of Mizuki I have one of her photobooks scanned.
by Wapiko (Aug 1, 2006 at 11 AM)Ahhh but you’ll need to email me. XD Sorry.
by Wapiko (Aug 1, 2006 at 11 AM)Japan=sick! Here in Belgium we lock people away who make pics of kids, with the intention to use them as a pin-up model…

by MCRENZ (Jul 14, 2007 at 6 PM)mmm im 12 yr old,female and mix japan/filipina^^” I got a little instrested on this when my cousin told me about this young model. well i think they shouldn’t take bikini shots of her >> well atleast when she turns 13 or 14. but i do understand why people have her wear bikinis, cuz of her body… if they hadn’t mention her age on this article you guys would be yelling “man shes hott!!” but its really freaky for her age to have a big breast like that! O.O
