J-Pop princess KOs Kano in steamy snapshot sales
J-Pop's comeback queen Tomomi Kahala is on the hit charts again, this time through a surprisingly successful follow-up to a best-selling collection of nude photos, according to Shukan Taishu (4/24).
Kahala's volume, "Crystallize II," has earned the reputation of being a cracker -- in more ways than one, considering the photos of her dumpy derriere -- and skyrocketing sales have surpassed all projections despite tough competition from nude collections by other big names, notably Mika Kano.
"(Kahala's collection) went on sale at around the same time Mika Kano brought out her nude shots, and, at 7,000 yen a pop, was pretty pricey. I didn't think it had a hope of selling," a reporter for an afternoon tabloid tells Shukan Taishu. "But then, totally opposite to my expectations, sales have been really good."
Some bookstores have already sold out of Kahala's book even though it has only been on sale a few weeks. Those who've seen the inside speak highly of it.
"There's a cut with her lying on her side on some wooden flooring. Even though her long hair is hiding her nipples, her ample breasts bulge sideways and her cute little butt sticks out, providing a beautiful, rippling, contoured bodyline that you could spend hours gazing at," the hack says. "In another cut taken from above as she lies down on an embankment in this pair of skimpy, black, see-through shorts, she oozes the essence of a mature woman's flesh in a manner that's imply intriguing."
A DVD that comes together with the collection has also been praised for its raw eroticism.
"Judging by the look on her face, I can imagine nothing else but Kahala screaming out for satisfaction in a scene where she's crawling around on all fours in her pink lingerie while the camera films her from behind," a reporter on the entertainment beat tells Shukan Taishu. "Then you've got the horse-riding photos. Kahala was a good enough rider to make the national championships as a schoolgirl and she sits atop her mount as though she was born for it. It's almost as though she's mounting something else."
But perhaps the most stunning aspect of Kahala's racy pictorial, and perhaps the reason why it's got so much bounce, is its accompaniment by the throw-in gift of a couple of rubbers.
"The pictorial is sold together with two strawberry-scented condoms," the afternoon tabloid hack tells Shukan Taishu. "It's almost as though she's saying, 'Use these with me.' It drives me crazy."
