TOKYO —

Model and actress Hinano Yoshikawa, 28, this week released her latest photo book “Blue Diamond” to mark the 15th anniversary of her debut. Yoshikawa, who last published a photo book in 2001, said, “I hope people feel that I’m still sexy. I recently fancy a guy I saw but unfortunately he doesn’t know me. I hope he will find me through this book of photos.”

Yoshikawa autographed her book for 200 fans at Fukutake-shoten book shop in Tokyo’s Ginza district.

    Oh my gosh, she seemed to have completely disappeared off the map. She was and still is one of the finest Jp women I have seen, so it's nice to see her back again. And the usual blurb about her love life. Nice to see Hinano san back.

    I hope people feel that I’m still sexy

    I expect most of her fans felt she was sexier when she debuted 15 years ago....when she was 13

    So if she was 13 when she did her debut, then the same people who thought she was sexy will no longer....She's too old.... Baba

    Isn't she more famous for being one of Takafumi Horie's girl friends? Or the ex-wife of Shazna's transvestite vocalist Izam? Married for just 7 months. Just five minor films and 3 TV dramas in 12 years doesn't seem to indicate success as an actress....and more than half of those roles came from the influence of Horie.

    I think after this major role on the JT website, she'll fade back into obscurity again. Unfortunately, she so obscure now, I couldn't think of a "Bestist" award for her as we really don't have anything to work on.

    borscht, you're a genius, this year's, "Best Fade-ist" goes to Hinano Yoshikawa.

    Maybe off-topic, but I heard that after her divorce she became a hostess at some high-class bar in Ginza, don't know if that is true or not.

    These 'talents' or 'idols' are so sad when they grow up and it becomes more apparent that they actually don't have any skills at all.

    What about "Best Non Entity?" Then again, give the lack of talent in Japanese show business, she might have to beat out some stiff competition.

    "Best non-entity", are you serious timor? There are so many that we couldn't possible settle on any one peson to receive it!
