Actress Naomi Kawashima, 48, introduces new bath powder products which she designed using wines at Times SPA RESTA in Ikebukuro, on Monday. The powders feature flavors of red wines and champagne, and are available for 210 yen at Lawson convenience stores and drug stores nationwide. Kawashima, who appeared in a sexy bathrobe, said she chooses a flavor depending on her mood when she takes a bath with her fiancée.

    Holy CARP! She's 48? She's amazingly beautiful and I would never have guessed she was that age! Lot of face massages and moisturizers over the years, no doubt!

    Forgot to add...I just noticed the ad picture behind her...while it does look amazing, one can't help but wonder just when Japan will stop abusing women to sell their goods?

    One photographer was overheard saying "Could you move your head just a little to the left, please."

    Is anybody taking bets on what the gesture she is making with her left hand means? I can think of a couple, but the moderator might be offended.

    The image of her in the champagne glass is WAY better than the photo of her kneeling in front of it. This is indisputable.

    serindipity: Now you cut that out...Hear me! She isn't slowly, sensually, raising and lowering her hand in that position either. Sheesh, some guys...

    She´s quite famous here for her long string of younger lovers. No criticism... I´d join them if I was invited.

    Probably a mistranslation.

    "Flavors" = "scents," right, Moddie? Although I suppose it could be "flavor" if you're bathing with your fiancee.

    Yep, has an eating disorder or she is just like that. Anyway, way too skinny, in a yuk kind a way. If young guys like this wouldn't it be bone against bone...yuk again.

    Much airbrushing as well but what photo when in media non-news related doesn't. This is how young people are deceived into thinking there is a perfect person when in reality they are not.

    Very pretty for her age. But yea, she looks like a poster child for the UN World Food Program. Is she really THAT anorexic?

    What an alcoholic dip. I hope I can find a woman that ages well like that, minus the plastique surgery if she's done that.

    Still she does look very pretty. I wonder what it would be like without the make up.

    I think she stayed too long in the bubble bath because in real life she looks real skinny.

    ****I've known some Japanese ladies who had more alcohol inside them than this lady has in her transparent ofuro. On a scale of 1 to 10 in wows I give her a 10.

    A good one, Nessie. I was thinking, "A^^ in a glass",

    looks young... I often see many Japanese women get asked for id when buying for eg drink.. often they are more than twice the legal age and old enough to have children who are twice the legal age...often they have real difficult and inconvenience explaining their age to these western people. Obviously partly down to a difference in how they care of themselves.

    ahaha 48 years old and this is her legacy? as i always say ... "only in Japan"
