After all the recent distractions I thought I should get back to what I know and love best: busty Japanese girls! Actually, I’ve been meaning to write about these two for a while, but I’ve been trying to figure out how to describe them. I still haven’t.
It has been said they are Japan’s answer to the Hilton sisters, but frankly I think that’s an insult to them: they aren’t ugly like Paris Hilton (in fact I think younger ‘sister’ Mika is gorgeous), and they actually have minds of their own. They also have a genuine talent for modelling and, in the older ‘sister’ Kyoko’s case, photography. Mika is also a former Miss Japan.Like the Hiltons they have loads of money (it isn’t entirely clear where from) and are largely ‘famous for being famous’. But that’s where the similarity ends. Uniquely for Japan, they are very much in control of their own careers, and have released a huge variety of their own products – from dolls to some really lovely (non-nude) photo albums – both as ‘sisters’ and as individual models. They are famously controlling of their products: many of Mika’s photos were actually taken by Kyoko, and she does an exceptional job.
Very little is known about them – it seems likely that they aren’t even sisters. Indeed, it’s even been rumored that Kyoko isn’t even a ‘she’, but is actually Mika’s boyfriend after a sex change operation! Whatever the case, they’ve certainly had a lot of plastic surgery, fortunately with a postive result. But they are starting to show their age (Kyoko would be pushing 40 by now), and it would seem they are in the twilight of their career.
Anyway, here’s a few relatively comprehensive articles about them:
