Tomoe was great in her early teenage years. Not so great afterwards. And Rei has the right to criticize the gravure idol industry whenever she wants if it affected her in a negative way. The gratitude thing is bullshit.
I felt it would be appropriate to respond in Rei's thread and fully relocate this discussion there.Tomoe was great in her early teenage years. Not so great afterwards. And Rei has the right to criticize the gravure idol industry whenever she wants if it affected her in a negative way. The gratitude thing is bullshit.
It looks like images from her last photobook from a couple of years ago, or at least images from that same photoshoot.There’s a lot of gravure-type of postings on Tomoe’s Instagram. What’s she up to? New work? It appears intriguing.
She's retired from gravure now. Occasionally she teases with questions like "Would I still be good for gravure?" and such, but that's just her charm. I don't think she's coming back for a third run.New work? It appears intriguing.
yes, it's no longer available on this site.The link in the OP to her original thread is broken. Is this lost for good now?
That's a shame, it would have been interesting to read through.yes, it's no longer available on this site.
A comeback, perhaps...or is she just teasing her fans?
It is a return to gravure the second post confirms it, and also says she will have a photo session (the kind of thing where normal people can book a slot and take pictures of her, it's very common in Japan most idol groups have them as well)A comeback, perhaps...or is she just teasing her fans?
I realise now that I posted that question after the recent JI purge which I only just read about in recent days, but I know that that link never worked for a long time before that anyway. Is there any reason the Tomoe thread was singled out like that (possibly with others)?yes, it's no longer available on this site.
It's not that it was singled out, it was because the link was created when Akiba's forum software was different and nobody really bothered to update it with the correct one after the software was changed. But the thread existed if you searched for it (well, no more though).Is there any reason the Tomoe thread was singled out like that (possibly with others)?
