J-Celeb News: Rabuho offer a swing and a miss for Hitomi Kuroki fans
When sensuous Hitomi Kuroki -- one of Japan's most desired actresses -- implored people to "come and see my rabuho," the eyes popped out of the heads of most men who heard her, according to Shukan Taishu (8/13).
Rabuho in Japanese is normally the abbreviation used to describe rabu hoteru, or love hotels, and an invitation from the sultry thespian was one that many would jump at the chance to fulfill.
Unfortunately for her more lecherous listeners, though, Kuroki's "rabuho" referred to rabu horaa, or love horror, her description of her latest film, "Kwaidan," a period piece focusing on romance and ghost stories.
But while there may be no love hotel visits on Kuroki's agenda, that doesn't necessarily mean "Kwaidan" doesn't offer something for the carnal desires of her fans.
"A love scene with her grappling a young guy in his 20s is pure Kuroki," an entertainment beat reporter tells Shukan Taishu. "While she screams 'Stop it, stop it,' she grabs the young guy's hand and rubs it over her voluptuous body. She then moans and whispers to the guy in a husky voice that he's the only one for her."
Kuroki's most famous movie sex scene came 10 years ago in the hit movie "Shitsurakuen," a tale of illicit love between a middle-aged couple. Her steamy performance in the movie made her a huge hit with men all over the country.
"Unfortunately, she doesn't show her *** (in 'Kwaidan'). But she did get her kimono undershirt lifted up, and you got a really good view of her creamy thighs and almost what was between them," the reporter says. "Those thighs totally belie her age of 46."
Though she may not look her age, there are rumors around that Kuroki may no longer be willing to do a bit of slap and tickle for the cameras any more.
"Those whispers probably popped up because she compared her skin with 20-year-old co-star Mao Inoue," a "Kwaidan" production insider tells Shukan Taishu. "What's important for actresses is to be able to portray adult sexuality. Kuroki has still got what it takes and probably will for a long while." (By Ryann Connell)
