One man's shrine to some beautiful women (much to the ever increasing annoyance of his girlfriend)

If you're a first time visitor, and/or have no idea what the hell a gravure idol is, I suggest you read this:

What you won't find here

With the exception of Arisa-chan over there on the right, you're out of luck if you're looking for nudity, and even she's not going to get completely naked. Sucks to be you.
  1. Porn. Gravure idols don't do porn. Deal with it.
  2. Nudity or topless pics. While they get occasionally damned close to being naked, you're not going to see everything (with very rare exceptions like Kadena Reon). Gravure idols do purely cheesecake, pin-up style photos. Also, if you're convinced you've seen Hanai Miri topless, check the FAQ. Note: with the addition of Oda Arisa to the site, I had to take that topless thing off... she's basically let the twins out in a small number of her pics.
  3. Other gravure idols. This site takes up a lot of my time as it is. While I probably will add an idol on the rare occasion, this site is dedicated to the idols listed in the menu on the right.
  4. Llamas. You will not find any llamas on this site.

Okay, so what's this all about, then?

Gravure Idol Jô is basically a repository for (relatively) high-res pics of my favorite gravure idols, including Nemoto Harumi, Matsugane Yôko, and Natsume Rio. My favorites also tend to be on the top heavy side as well, so if you like small boobs (god knows why anyone would), you're in the wrong place to find stuff on Ogura Yûko or the like.

Now, there are a fair number of sites which already have loads of pictures of the lovely ladies in question, but I got really sick of sifting through pics which were tiny or of questionable quality. And there are a lot of them out there. I hope this will be the difference with this site and the others out there: quality over quantity.

Seriously - read the FAQ

Aside from answering such burning questions as: "What does gravure mean?", "What exactly do Japanese cup sizes mean?", "Why does MEGUMI spell her name in capitals?", and "How annoyed is my girlfriend?", the FAQ also contains a very important piece of information about Gravure Idol Jô which will keep you from e-mailing me and me deleting your question because it's been answered in the FAQ.

Stop being a leech....

Free picture galleries are all fine and good, but if you actually like these women, support them by buying a photobook or DVD. Or two or three. In each idol's bibliography and on review pages, you can find links to photobooks and DVDs (and occasionally other stuff) from Amazon and CD Japan.
