Amazingly youthful meteorologist-turned-model heating up Japan with her swimwear debut at age 43 | RocketNews24

There are certain lines of work that you generally have to get into pretty early in life. For example, while many professional athletes have had careers that continue into their 30s and even 40s, if you haven’t broken into the National Football League by your mid-20s, you’ve probably missed your chance at becoming a starting strong safety for the Pittsburg Steelers.

Bikini modeling is another field that becomes harder to break into the older you get. In Japan, where youth has long been considered a vital component of traditional feminine beauty, it’s not at all unusual for models to make their professional debuts while still in their teens. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and exceptions don’t get much more surprising than Yuko Nakagawa, who’s making her swimwear modeling debut at the age of 43.

On February 1, Nakagawa appeared at a press conference in Tokyo’s Akihabara electronics district to promote her debut DVD, entitled Ashita Tenki ni Nare (or Hoping for Good Weather Tomorrow). While speaking to reporters, the Tokyo native said she’s never thought of herself as having a nice figure, which leads us to think she’s either extremely modest or has terrible eyesight.

The DVD’S front cover:

And the back:

Nakagawa didn’t initially set out to become a model. As a matter of fact, she wasn’t initially drawn to show business or entertainment in general, instead graduating from Tsuda College’s English Literature department, obtaining teaching credentials for junior high and high school language courses along the way. After graduation, though, she wound up working in an international trading company, where she was tasked with providing Japanese lessons for the organization’s foreign staff.

It was during her lectures that Nakagawa first realized how much she enjoyed speaking in front of a crowd, and only then did she resolve to quit her job and look for work in mass media. Her educational and professional background landed her an on-air position as part of a three-month English-learning program from public broadcaster NHK, which she used as a springboard to spots on sports and local morning news shows.

After taking over weather announcement duties for broadcaster TBS’ Morning Tenki, Nakagawa developed an interest in meteorology, studying independently and obtaining certification in the field in 2006. She now works as a meteorologist for a number of media outlets, and also visits elementary schools to talk about environmentalism.

Nakagawa, talking about rising humidity levels plus the health benefits of eating peaches, and looking good while she does it:

While Nakagawa does appear in a variety of swimsuits in her debut DVD, those aren’t the only outfits she wears. The release is technically a gurabia DVD, the category of modeling in Japan that focusses on sexy yet non-pornographic looks. Nakagawa describes the contents as:

“First, I talk for a bit, like a reporter. Then suddenly I’m in a swimsuit. Later, I do a belly dance…and I also appear in a yukata (summer kimono).”

When asked about her surprisingly youthful appearance, Nakagawa shared her three personal beauty secrets. While bathing at night is the norm in Japan, the new model says she takes two baths a day, once before going to bed and one after getting up in the morning, doing facial muscles stretches while soaking the tub both times. She also limits her skin’s exposure to harsh UV rays, and includes plenty of meat in her diet.

Even if you’re not entranced by Nakagawa’s expressive eyes and warm smile, her interview is worth watching for the part at the two-minute mark, where a reporter gives her the half-question of, “So, you don’t have a boyfriend, or anyone special?”

[video=youtube;UfgZwTxcXwA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfgZwTxcXwA[/video]

In this sort of situation, nine times out of ten that’ll get you a “No, I don’t (tee hee).” The modeling and idol industries in Japan rely heavily on fantasy to sell their products, and many women who work in the fields are discouraged from dating, or at least told to hide the existence of a romantic partner.

Being a full-grown woman of 43, though, Nakagawa is too old to be putting up with this sort of charade, and responds, “Um, actually, I’m married.”

Pro that she is, she does still remember the (tee hee), though:

She goes on to add that her husband is happily supportive of her career, including the sexy avenue it’s recently turned onto. So remember guys, you can look, but in this case you’ve got even less chance of dating the swimsuit model than usual.

Japan’s 43-year-old sweetheart is back with a new DVD showing her in schoolgirl uniform, bikinis | RocketNews24

Back in the cold days of winter, weather forecaster Yuko Nakagawa gave men across Japan a little summery fantasy when she made her bikini-modeling DVD debut. But while Nakagawa certainly has the figure and facial features for that line of work, what set her DVD apart from the scores of other swimwear video collections is that at 43, Nakagawa is old enough to be the mother of many of her competitors.

Japan has an expression, though, Bijin ni toshi nashi, literally “A beautiful woman has no age,” asserting that an attractive woman’s looks aren’t diminished by her numerical age. So if Nakagawa can pull off wearing a tiny bikini at 43, more power to her, fans said, and now she’s back again with a second DVD in which she wears a sailor suit school uniform for the first time in decades.

It didn’t take long for Nakagawa’s first DVD, Ashita Tenki ni Nare (or Hoping for Good Weather Tomorrow) to become a sales success. The meteorologist/model’s first DVD went on sale at the tail end of January, and before February was over, she’d already been approached about doing a follow-up.

The new DVD, titled Into the mystic, has just been released, and Nakagawa appeared at the Akihabara branch of electronics and media retailer Sofmap on June 27 to promote it.

[video=youtube;inzUbO7RKpI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inzUbO7RKpI[/video]

To film Into the mystic, Nakagawa and her crew traveled to Pattaya, a Thai city of roughly 100,000 people on the Bay of Bangkok. Many of the new release’s scenes are framed as though the viewer is Nakagawa’s boyfriend on a romantic trip to Thailand, but the star herself says this sometimes presented a bit of a challenge for her.

“There’s a scene where I’m supposed to have gotten up before my boyfriend and wake him up,” she explains, “but I’m not really a morning person, so I don’t have much experience doing that. My first instinct is just to say, ‘Come on get up get up!’ like I’m trying to force myself to get out of bed.”

Still, Nakagawa says she gave it her all, describing working without an actor to play off as being like playing “air boyfriend” instead of “air guitar.” And besides, even if her performance isn’t completely flawless, there’s still the sight of the incredibly youthful 43-year-old in a schoolgirl uniform to look forward to.

“I wondered…are there really that many people who’d want to see me like that? But after I put it on and we started filming, it didn’t seem that weird,” recalls Nakagawa. “At 43, I never imagined I’d get to dress up like a high school girl, and I think it’s one of the highlights of the DVD.”

During a promotional event for her first DVD, an unprepared reporter asked Nakagawa if she had a boyfriend, to which the model replied that she’s in fact married. While giving an interview to celebrate the release of Into the mystic, Nakagawa was asked what her husband said when he saw her in the girlish outfit, to which she replied:

“Nothing in particular. My husband isn’t really all that interested in these kinds of things. He didn’t even watch my first DVD until I made him sit down and watch it with me, and when I asked him what he thought, he casually said, ‘Yeah, that’s cool.’”
