Model-celebrity Aki Hoshino, 32, has been appointed “special supporter” of shoe maker Crocs’ Yuigihama beach house, which opens this Saturday and will operate until the end of August. The Crocs footwear shop will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the cafe and dining bar will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Hoshino wore a pair of blue denim shorts and a low-cut white top to the press event, with her long mane in pigtails draping down her shoulders. Reporters have been keen for details recently on Hoshino’s relationship with 19-year-old jockey Kosei Miura, but Hoshino again kept them at bay with some wishy-washy answers.

"Crocs"? I thought the were called Dorcs?

Isn't this the shoe that sucks people into escalators? A blow up photo of the "a low-cut white top" would have been nice.

Who knew she even has feet?
Taka313
...while wearing sandals. (In my best Homer Simpson voice) D'Oh.

'Wishy-washy answers'? Usually such 'details' are reported here - she really must have been keeping 'mum'.
And 'wishy-washy'? Next it'll be be "no ticky, no shirty"

Taka,
LOL! Too true!
DeepAir65
not been to a Croc shop recently have you! They have all sorts of designs now and I've even seen OLs wearing them
Apsara
They do have all kinds of designs, but I don't think the sandals she is wearing are Crocs.
Potsu
Crocs and her have a lot in common...nasty plastic and tacky looking.
bdiego
Thank you JT, more of this please.
Jkanda
I would also imagine her wearing the crocs. What has she done to her self? She looks uncomfortable with her plastic surgery job.
DenDon
she is wearing crocs high heels. I've seen them a lot recently
nisegaijin
stop teasing!!! i wanna go to beach so bad!
northlondon
I take it there won't be any escalators in their new store then..?
DeepAir65
what a bunch of croc! The escalator thing is not just a Croc thing but any kind of sandal/thong whatever you want to call them. That's why so many of them have yellow lines round the edge and notices to stay inside the yellow line.
Jkanda
nisegaijin I am dreaming of going to the beach, but not where some crap is going on, with some fake shows, fake people.
Nice, quiet beach, with people behaving decently and no paedophiles around would surely be ideal at this time of the year.

She kept them at bay with some wishy washy answers? Is this opposed to the usually constructive and meaningful actresses that these promotional girls usually give about their love lives.
magpie
No matter what people say, Hoshino Aki is a babe!
funkyfresh

GAYMAN

northlondon
It was just a joke my friend. The heat seems to be getting to you.
meguro

maryhinge
I'll have a croc sandwich, and make it snappy!
IchyaWarFare
She looks fine and happy to me. Don't be jealous.
IchyaWarFare
Do you live in the real world? Who goes looking around for pedophiles?
Jkanda
If Aoi Miyazaki was doing this promo, she would have done a great job.
DenDon
wishy washy indeed..what piffle is this?
nagoyaslim
Hate to tell you folks but, Crocs are so yesterday. The company is virtually in bankruptcy so it is interesting that they are jamming resources into the last remaining 'virtual' market. Good luck Crocs.
Sarge
"Crocs are so yesterday"
They sure be popular today.
nagoyaslim
They sure seem popular here in Japan but I guess what I was referring to was an article from the Washington Post, I think, regarding the company's status. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31936605/ns/business-washington_post/
desmosedici
Oh, that is one big Croc between her legs. I didn't even notice. I was thinking about Aki, her inflated boobs and the sea. You know, how she would be nearly unsinkable. Amazing woman.
DenDon
Aki Hoshino straddling a big croc. maybe worth a google

bad hair day
Sarge
I think her pigtails look cute as hell.
vajra
I agree with Sarge on the pigtails .
CultureChange
I like Crocs, but I refer beautiful girls in open shoes so I can see thier toes.
sydenham
I agree with vajra on Sarge.
Wolfpack
I agree with sydenam's agreement with Sarge and varja - the pigtails are nice indeed.
kanadamanada
What a crock!
Jigg88
so is 32 the new 12?
PepinGalarga
only in Japan can you have a spokesperson promote a product and not even wear it.
