The Muses of 1980s JJ
JJ and the Rise of the Akamoji-kei
Tumblr media
In the early 1980s, the most glitzy clubs, restaurants, and boutiques were taken over by "JJ girls," and JJ's influence was palpable. 
During this period, the magazine shifted away from relying on haafu models and instead featured full-Japanese women as its primary models. This shift represented a move from exotic beauty to models who resembled the average reader more closely. Many of these models were also active college students attending prestigious institutions.
The first JJ muse of that period was 20-year-old Ryoko Takahashi, who replaced Marie Krabin as the cover model in 1981. Takahashi possessed a refined and classic look that seamlessly complemented the "newtra" fashion style heavily promoted by the magazine.
She got married and retired when she was still in her 20s. After a long hiatus, she returned in the mid-2000s to Kobunsha fashion titles targeted at women in their 40s and 50s. She now goes by the name Ryoko Tamai.
Tumblr media
21-years-old Chikako Kaku took over as JJ's cover girl in 1982. That same year, she made her debut as an actress in an afternoon drama. From a traditional wealthy family, she graduated from the Joshibi University of Arts and Sciences Junior College.
Although her tenure as the primary model lasted only a year, Chikako made a return as a cover girl for three issues in 1985 and also appeared several other times to promote her acting projects. Remarkably, at the age of 60, she continues to be active in the entertainment industry, maintaining her roles as both an actress and a model.
Tumblr media
Chieko Kuroda, known as Chieko Kashimoto at the time, stands out as perhaps the most prominent JJ model of the 1980s. While most models typically held the position of cover girl for about a year, she maintained her role for over two years.
Chieko made her debut in the magazine while still a student at Seijo Junior College. Initially, she was discovered by the editor in charge of the sports fashion section, and her appearances were primarily confined to the sports pages. However, readers quickly grew fond of her, and her presence in the magazine expanded. Ultimately, in 1983, she was appointed as JJ's cover girl. Her rise to prominence paralleled the ascent of the editor who had initially spotted her, and he eventually became the editor-in-chief.
At the age of 24, Chieko retired from modeling and pursued a conventional career. She got married at 28, and the following year, she welcomed her daughter into the world.
In 1995, a decade after her departure from modeling, Kobunsha decided to launch a groundbreaking fashion publication, the first one aimed at married women in their 30s. The former JJ editor-in-chief who had originally discovered her invited Chieko to lead this innovative project. She accepted the offer and came out of retirement. The magazine, VERY, achieved tremendous success, reestablishing Chieko as a fashion influencer for women in her age group.
As of 2022, she continues to be actively involved in the entertainment industry, working as a model, actress, and TV personality.
Tumblr media
In 1985, Towako Kimijima, then known as Towako Yoshikawa, became the new "signboard model" for JJ.
Similar to her predecessors at JJ, Towako received her education in prestigious institutions. Her journey into the world of modeling began during her junior high school years, where she appeared in influential teen publications like MC Sister and Seventeen. At the age of 19, she was appointed as the star model for JJ. Towako concluded her tenure with the magazine in 1987, and the subsequent year marked her debut as an actress.
Following her JJ graduation, she had an eventful career marked by a lot of family drama.
In 1995, she publicly announced her marriage to dermatologist Akira Kimijima, who happened to be the son of the renowned fashion designer Ichiro Kimijima. Although initially planning to retire from the entertainment industry after their lavish wedding, their union instead opened the doors to a series of family dramas that drew intense media scrutiny. Akira, raised by his grandmother as an out-of-wedlock child, found himself entangled in conflicts with his siblings over their roles in the Ichiro fashion empire. Tragically, Ichiro Kimijima passed away from a heart attack in 1996, further intensifying the feud. Eventually, Akira assumed control of his father's empire, though it was laden with substantial debt.
Towako's personal charisma proved to be the savior of the family's fortunes. Her striking beauty and impeccable style allowed her to successfully establish herself as a leader in the beauty and fashion industry for women. Her cosmetics and skincare line enjoyed remarkable success, solidifying her position as an authoritative figure on aging gracefully and embracing girly, "conservative" fashion. What made Towako particularly groundbreaking was her ability to maintain popularity among women in their 20s, despite the ageist nature of Japanese society, while she herself was in her late 30s.
Now in her late 50s, Towako is a mother to two adult daughters. Her cosmetics and skincare line continues to thrive and is distributed through her husband's company.
Tumblr media
Analyzing the history of JJ cover models reveals a significant cultural shift between the 1970s and the 1980s. Interestingly, every cover muse from the 1970s has long since retired from public life, with limited information available about their activities after leaving the magazine. During that era, the "shelf life" of a young model was quite brief, and societal expectations often pushed women to marry at a young age and leave their careers behind. Even Momoe Yamaguchi, a top idol and pop star of the 1970s, chose to retire at the height of her career in 1980 to fully dedicate herself to married life.
In stark contrast, nearly all of the 1980s stars who graced JJ's covers remain active in various fields. While a few, such as Reiko Tatami and Chieko Kuroda, briefly retired, both eventually returned to modeling once their children had grown up.
However, some of JJ's stars from the 1980s have chosen to maintain a degree of anonymity in their post-modeling lives. This is particularly true for Kae Miyadai, JJ's "super dokumo" from the early 1980s. Miyadai is the first and only "dokumo" to ever grace the magazine cover, which she did 3 times between 1987 and 1988. Since then, however, very little is known about her.
Tumblr media
Risako Miura, formerly known as Risako Shitara, held the distinction of being the last JJ signboard model of the 1980s. Her modeling journey began in 1987, and she maintained her status as the magazine's top model until 1991, marking the longest tenure during that era. Interestingly, she appeared on the magazine's cover relatively few times, with just seven covers to her name. This was because her tenure coincided with a period when actresses and celebrities were prominently featured on the front covers.
Risako left a lasting impression on JJ's readership. Born in New York City and the daughter of a Mitsubishi director, she completed her education at Tamagawa University. In addition to her modeling career, she ventured into acting in the early '90s. In 1993, she married the renowned soccer star Kazuyoshi Miura in a lavish ceremony attended by numerous celebrities.
Following her marriage, Risako devoted herself to family life for a few years. However, in 2000, she stepped into the role of the main star for VERY Magazine, succeeding Chieko Kuroda, and continued in this capacity for six years. Since then, she has occasionally returned to modeling and remains active on social media platforms..
Tumblr media
Mariko Ishihara played a pivotal role in the evolving landscape of JJ magazine when actresses and young celebrities began dominating the magazine's covers. During the period spanning 1986 to 1987, she held the distinction of being the magazine's primary muse, gracing its cover on six separate occasions.
Ishihara's most distinctive feature was her thick eyebrows. In the late '70s, Brooke Shields, known for her appearances in commercials for cosmetic company Kanebo and others, gained immense popularity in Japan. Her signature unruly brows were an integral part of her appeal. Mariko Ishihara demonstrated that this striking look could also work on Japanese women, significantly influencing beauty standards of the era.
She is also widely remembered by her role in the TV drama "Fuzuroi no Ringotachi," which revolved around a group of college students navigating the complexities of love. As an actress, Ishihara projected an image of innocence combined with a wild and unpredictable streak. Over time, her untamed personality began to overshadow her acting career, and in recent decades, she has become more recognized for her involvement in media scandals. Nonetheless, her legacy as a fashion and beauty icon from her past remains indelible.
Tumblr media
In the summer of 1988, Fuji TV aired a drama called "Dakishimetai." The show style gained the moniker of "trendy drama" because everything in it was very trendy: the settings, the actors, and the outfits. It really captured the glamour of the bubble years of Japan. And it was a success, especially among young women, turning the show's lead actresses -- Yuko Asano and Atsuko Asano (who, despite the same last name, are not related) -- into the most prominent fashion influencers in the country.
Fueled by the "W Asano" boom, Atsuko and Yuko became cover girls of all akamoji titles between 1988 and 1990. And JJ was no exception. Atsuko graced JJ's cover 5 times, while Yuko (center) amassed 4 front covers, giving "W Asano" a total of 9 covers between 1989 and 1990.
Tumblr media
Honami Suzuki is the actress with the most JJ covers, gracing the front of the magazine on a remarkable 10 occasions spanning from 1987 to 1992.
Her first appearance was in the June 1987 issue, shortly after she debuted as an actress. Throughout her ascent, she kept being featured in the magazine. Honami finally reached mega-stardom in 1991 when she starred in "Tokyo Love Story," one of the most popular TV dramas of all time. At the peak of her popularity, she retributed the magazine support during her ascent, appearing 3 times on the cover. Her last appearance was in the October 1992 issue. 
In the subsequent year, JJ departed from featuring celebrities and returned to showcasing their signboard models as cover girls starting from 1993.

Trying to find some inspiration for Wato’s parents for my fic. I’ve always had in my head someone like Chikako Kaku as inspiration for her mother. Someone quite poised, a mother with certain expectations of her child, expectations that Wato has obviously failed to reach.
But then there’s her father, who I’ve always imagined as stern but also loving, even more so than her mother. Highly regarded as a doctor. The inspiration for him is Ryo Ishibashi.
They’re a big part of why Wato has a perfectionist streak, why she has huge expectations for herself, and why she feels like she’s failed in Syria, and failed herself.
Also, I think she’s an only child. Seems like that’s the vibe.
It’s hard writing for new characters. If anyone has any thoughts, throw me a line!

Yang Wajib Dilakukan di Negeri Sakura, Main Ski
Liputanviral - Liburan musim dingin wajib dinikmati dengan main salju, apalagi kalau ke Jepang. Liburan maksimal di Kota Hiroshima enaknya sambil main ski. Kota Hiroshima di Jepang menawarkan sejumlah wisata menarik untuk dijelajahi. Selain wisata sejarah, Hiroshima juga punya destinasi ski yang jadi favorit saat musim dingin tiba, Megahira Ski Resort. Bersama dengan Japan Airlines, detikTravel datang dan bermain ski di Megahira Ski Resort. Bertempat di dekat kawasan Gunung Megahirayama, tempat ski ini selalu ramai pada akhir pekan. Awak detikTravel mencoba untuk menjajal ski di tempat ini. Baru pertama kali, rupanya bermain ski susah-susah gampang. Hal pertama yang mesti traveler lakukan adalah menyewa perlengkapan ski. Mulai dari topi, kacamata, sarung tangan, jaket, celana, sepatu, papan ski dan tongkat. Pemilihan alat pun tak boleh sembarangan. Traveler harus memilih pakaian yang nyaman untuk bisa bergerak. Karena saat main ski, kamu dijamin berkeringat.
Tumblr media
Sepatu harus dipasang dengan ketat di bagian betis. Sehingga meminimalisir terjadinya cedera saat latihan atau jatuh. Sudah siap dengan perlengkapan? Sekarang saatnya berlatih main ski. Chikako Taniguchi, dari Megahira Ski Resort, menjadi pelatih dan memberikan instruksi untuk melakukan pemanasan sebelum latihan. Alat-alat yang dibawa diletakkan di tempat yang telah disediakan. Sehingga tidak tercecer dan membahayakan pengunjung lainnya. Pemanasan dilakukan dengan melakukan gerakan dasar untuk perenggangan. Mulai dari kepala, bahu, tangan dan kaki, dilemaskan agar tidak kaku.
Tumblr media
Setelah itu, Chikako memberi instruksi untuk memasang sepatu ke papan ski. Caranya, ujung sepatu dimasukkan terlebih dahulu, kemudian injak bagian belakang papan. Kamu bisa memakai sepatu sambil berdiri, namun butuh keseimbangan kalau belum terbiasa. Untuk bisa bermain ski, ada dua dasar posisi yang harus dipahami dengan baik. Ada posisi seluncur dan rem, ini wajib dikuasi untuk bisa bermain ski bagi pemula. "Saat meluncur badan harus tegak, buka kaki dan tangan," ujar Chikako. Untuk posisi rem, kaki harus dibuat dengan posisi pizza. Ujung papan ski menyempit sedangkan bagian belakang dibuka lebar. Posisi lutut menekuk sedikit dan tarik badan ke arah bawah. "Perlahan saja, jangan takut," tutur Chikako saat melatih. Cukup sulit untuk berjalan dengan sepatu dan papan ski yang berat. Apalagi dengan kemiringan bukit yang dipenuhi salju, pastinya licin.
Tumblr media
Belum lagi ramainya pengunjung lain yang berseluncur. Walau berlatih dibagian yang paling landai, namun traveler harus tetap memperhatikan pemain ski atau snowboard yang datang dari atas bukit. Pelatih ski akan melihat perkembangan anak muridnya. Jika sudah dirasa mampu, maka akan ditantang untuk naik ke level selanjutnya. Tantangan selanjutnya dari gerakan dasar adalah berselancar dari atas bukit. Tak perlu takut, karena pelatih akan menemanimu turun bersama dari bukit. Bukit di area ski ini terbagi dua, ada yang untuk pemula dan tingkat lanjut atau mahir. Untuk area ski pemula berlekuk landai, sedangkan tingkat lanjut curam dan tajam. Untuk naik ke atas bukit, Megahira Ski Resort memiliki kereta gantung khusus. Di buat khusus tanpa sabuk, pengunjung harus langsung meluncur begitu sampai di atas bukit. Pada beberapa kali percobaan, jatuh adalah hal yang sangat wajar. Traveler bisa lihat hampir semua pemain ski di bukit pemula jatuh saat berselancar. Cobalah untuk bangun sendiri dan memahami cara alat-alat yang digunakan. Lepaskan sepatu dari papan ski dengan bantuan tongkat. Tekan bagian belakangnya, dan sepatu akan terlepas dari papan ski. Gunakan tongkat untuk bisa bangun. Kemudian pasang kembali sepatu ke dalam papan ski. Hal lain yang perlu kamu rasakan adalah perbedaan kemiringan bukit, sehingga kamu bisa menguasai medan.
Tumblr media
"Jangan terburu-buru, pelan saja dan jangan lupa tegak," tuntun Chikako. Chikako sendiri baru menjadi pelatih selama 2 tahun di resor ini. Namun ia telah bermain ski selama 20 tahun. Chikako menyarankan untuk terus berlatih agar bisa lancar bermain ski. Ada kebanggan tersendiri bagi Chikako melihat anak didiknya berhasil bermain ski. Walau tidak lancar bahasa Inggris, tapi Chikako berusaha untuk berkomunikasi dengan baik. "Mengajar ski tidak gampang, tapi sangat senang kalau mereka sampai berhasil main ski," ungkap Chikako. Kamu yang mau mencoba untuk ski private di Megahira Ski Resort bisa belajar dengan pelatih dengan harga JPY 1500 per 2 jam atau sekitar Rp 190.107. Untuk biaya sewa perlengkapan lengkap, bisa sewa dengan harga JPY 7300 atau sekitar Rp 925.189. Kalau mau beberapa alat saja juga bisa kok, harganya menyesuaikan. Harga tiket sendiri dihargai dengan lamanya bermain. Kamu akan diberikan tiket untuk naik ke kereta gantung. Batas maksimalnya adalah 9 jam seharga JPY 9000 atau sekitar Rp 1.143.564.
