Model Reiko Aoyama, 22, chosen as the face and body of Triumph International Japan for 2010, sported a pair of the new items from the lingerie company's "be Sweet" range at an event held in Shibuya this week.
Aoyama showed off a pale blue pair of lingerie from the range which starts at 5,040 yen and was designed with the concept of "Cute Adult" in mind.
Actor Hiroki Narimiya, 27, was invited to the event and appeared pleased with what he saw, blurting out that he liked girls like Aoyama who are both cute, yet mature.

He forgot to add, half naked as well. I think most guys like cute, mature, half naked girls. I know I do.

Of course he liked what he saw.

No Victoria Secrets that's for sure...Think they could ahve done a better job in choosing lingerie that actually complemented her body because this one sure doesn't.

Beautiful model...! I know how he feels; notice how he's trying to hide his woody....

Wow I nice a flat, long back she has there. Her body is not nice at all. She has the sexy body of Japanese woman in her 40's. Wearing grandma panties doesn't compliment her either. It would've been better by put on some sexy close on her instead. This is one case where leaving something for the imagination comes to mind.

the most striking turnoff for me.

2 out of 3's not bad, i suppose
biglittleman
It is the grandma panties and unattractive figure that makes her look mature. Stick to modeling clothes, dear.

"be Sweet"
She's Sweet all right.
"the most striking turnoff for me"
Is your blood red? ha ha

"cute, yet mature"
That she is!

Hiroki must be an herbivore because he was only pleased with what he saw. He should have been much more excited standing next to a half-naked hottie.

"pleased with what he saw".... sheesh, wouldn´t anybody?

It's always nice to see images of young girls in their underwear first thing in the morning - even if they are of the 'Naoko Average' category.

Am I the only one who finds this picture totally bizarre? She is just an average flat-chested "cute" Japanese girl, wearing an overpriced padded bra. Her butt is also out of proportion to her top half as well. Any woman who would pay over ¥5000 for underwear is nuts.
combinibento
Agree wholeheartedly with the above poster. Moreover, the underwear ads about 10 years to the age of this poor girl modeling it.

'cute, yet mature'. Give me 5 minutes with her over coffee and conversation and I'll offer another opinion. No doubt her favorite place in Japan is Disneyland and there's a Hello Kitty trinket and Pooh dangling on her keitai.

Why the hell is Narimiya there anyways? "Go stand up next to a girl in her underwear and tell us what you think" "Uhhhh...Granny Panties...Uhhh..Mature! Yeah thats it"
Altria
Epic fail. Is this their new Miyuki Hatoyama line?

Why are grandma panties so popular with both young and mature in Japan?
Junnama
Comfortable?

Mature is such a wonderful word. It seems to me it gets thrown around most by those who aren't. I certainly cannot consider it to be mature to comment so much on the maturity of someone they never met.
But Narimiya might well have been talking about physically mature, and that she is. Or it might be a bad translation. She might be a little frumpy, but I would not kick her out of bed. Besides, no points in criticizing her. Even other women will react to what is said, so the smart man makes it nice at all times.
Not only can you not know those things, but I am not so sure what it has to do with maturity or why it even matters. I think mature people can still appreciate those things. I think the definition of mature would be able to appreciate other things also, not exclusively. For example, we might consider it mature to drink coffee, but having some cocoa now and again does not make one immature. Maturity is not what you exclude, its what you include.

@dontknockit - I think you are right with your definition of mature.
Id still put my mortgage on her having the social skills of a twelve year old though.
In other words he likes them to look and act as young as possible yet still remain on the right side of the law.

Should have a big hello kitty on the front and picture of something from out of space, like Uranus on the back.
PepinGalarga
Mn this is the worst looking picture i have seen in a long time! the worst angle imanigable, and the worst clothes to wear...
nath
Sure he liked what he saw. Otherwise he needs glasses.
LoveUSA
hahhaha this so hilarious, funny this is not true the worst model ever
LoveUSA
But! hiroki Narimiya can be a model for men's sweet underwear for sure!
Sarge
The only complaint I have is I can't hardly see her bellybutton in this photo...
nath
Bra is ordinary, and panties are heinous. Model might look better with an open silk dressing gown over it... Yeah! Now, that's mature!
lostrune2
Plain tidy whiteys? No designs, decors, or laces?
marushka
I was and I am always wondering why really nice underwear is not popular among Japanese ladies. On this picture I can see an average body shape woman dressed in obadjan style underwear. I would be ashamed to wear this style underwear even when I am alone at home
griff
i suppose they don't necessarily sport the most flattering of designs, but in my experience they are more partial to wearing matching sets than british ladies
Unchinanchu
Its not her fault they chose that picture.
Here are better ones. Shes hot!

I know a bloke who works for Triumph Japan. Apparently, the official pronunciation of the company's name is "Trimp".
Doesn't work at all, does it?
biglittleman
I just checked it out. No she isn't. She's just half naked. Even in that picture you can see her body isn't all that attractive. That photo is only 2D which makes her look more attractive. This JT pic shows more of her body. You can really see she doesn't have a nice body but it isn't fat. It isn't just the grandma panties.
stirfry
not hot...at all

What is this with the 'grandma panties' stuff? Have you ever SEEN grandma panties? They would keep a small family warm!!! Do most women of that age in Western cultures wear thongs under their gear? I think not. Most gals like their 'comfortable' underwear, believe it or not.
As for our model, no, underwear or not, she doesn't do much for me.
marushka
blvtzpk: What do you mean about “ that age”? as western woman I can just repeat my statement- I am surprised to see what ugly underwear most Japanese ladies are wearing. It doesn’t match with their dresses and bags.
WilliB
Umm.... maybe I am showing my age but I have seen grandmother in her underwear, and it didn´t look at all like this :-)
I don´t know what you guys expect at the press conference... g-strings?
biglittleman
Why are you looking at grandmothers in her underwear? That should be the follow up to this article.
Wolfpack
She is a lot better looking than this picture gives her credit for.
Nessie
If she tarts around half naked she will get cold and her nipples will -- oh, I see. Never mind.
