What is Gravure Idol?
What is Gravure Idol? Author: Natsuki Saito Japanese girls are a very attractive type of girls. They have not only cute faces and good body measurements but also feminine voices, which led many men to have crazy fantasies abou. Gravure idol or “gurabia aidoru” is a model who primarily poses in bikini, leotard, and any other provocative clothing for the purpose of photo spreads in the magazines and the photo books which aimed largely at men. The photos may also have fetish themes like wrestling, martial arts, and super heroes from “tokusatsu” (“Tokusatsu” is a Japanese term that applies to any live-action film or television drama that usually features superheroes and makes a considerable use of special effects). However, she does not pose in nudity or perform any sexually explicit acts in her work. The Gravure term is actually derived from “photogravure” or, technically more precise, “rotogravure”, which means the type of printing process that uses in the production of glossy magazines.
