Seiyuu otaku seem to have subjected the object of their fascination, seiyuu 葉月絵理乃 / Erino Hazuki (leading role in Aria, also known for Blue Dragon, amongst others), to such a campaign of harassment that she has seen no option but to suspend her blog, and stop accepting mail from fans.

Here I shall introduce the art of えあう / Eau, an artist who has produced a number of these interesting illustrations, which as you can see use photos as a base. Whilst doing this and not disclosing it seems to be a recipe at times for derision or even scandal, doing it quite deliberately seems to be well received, and looking at these images, who could disagree.
Below you can see more of his art, and some of the source photos.

Former porn star 落合祐里香 / Yurika Ochiai, now a popular seiyuu and voicing Idol Master’s Yukiho, seems to be headed in the direction of her original career if her latest DVD release is anything to go by; it is said to be exceedingly steamy, though still in the realm of normal gravure. Languid bikini poses may be par the course for seiyuu, but these kind of saucy bathing scenes are more unusual.

After the revelations surrounding the unexpected marketability of a certain unshaven waki (armpit) idol, I recalled that the Vippers had long since beaten me to providing a (shaven) waki appreciation gallery, so it falls upon me only to reproduce it.
Strangely, little discussion on this topic can go past without some haphazard mention of the waki moe Touhou’s Hakurei Reimu exudes, and this is not something which escaped the Vippers either, so it turns out to be battle of armpit baring idols against the charms of Reimu’s detached sleeves. I fear this may be a forgone conclusion…

The Vippers bring yet another bountiful harvest of idol images, with some contriving to look rather sharper than average. Some of them are also more underdressed than is the norm, but I’m sure nobody will hold that against them.

“Girls in kawaii clothes” was how the Vippers described this gallery of Japanese girls, and who am I to argue? I’m not sure all of them could really be described as cute, with many being well towards the sexy or elegant end of the scale, but whatever the case there are some appealing images to be had, with a wide variety of interestingly dressed young ladies. Choosing which image to put at the top was a chore…
