It has been announced that Japanese gravure idol and “talent” (a catch-all name for entertainer in Japan) Chinatsu Wakatsuki is making her offcial comeback to Japanese showbiz. The free spirit and often rambunctious 24 year old will have her first TV appearance next Wednesday night since dropping out of the spotlight 10 months ago on “Domoto Tsuyoshi no Shojiki Shindoi” on TV Asahi.

Chinatsu Wakatsuki was scouted while shopping with friends at Shibuya 109, arguably the center of Japanese fashion and trend when she was 17. At the young age of 18 she was selected as one of the semi finalists for the prestigious 2002 Miss Magazine gravure contest and her showbiz career just took off from there. However, since 2006 the Saitama Prefecture (just north of Tokyo) native began to suffer from health problems often, most likely due to stress. In November of last year she disappeared from Japanese TV screen altogether and later announced on her popular blog that although she wasn’t retiring she intended to go on hiatus to explore other channels and challenge herself.

After leaving showbiz at the end of last year Chinatsu Wakatsuki focused on vintage clothing and fashion designs. Here she is showing off her clothing line, all designed by the popular variety idol or “baradoru” . Chinatsu told reporters that since she hasn’t gone into a recording studio for a while, coming on “Domoto Tsuyoshi no Shojiki Shindoi” was scary for her. She couldn’t hide the fact that she has a 10 months blank period on her showbiz resume. Chinatsu has also since launched a new blog at the end of August to mark her re-entry into showbiz.
The slender and tanned Chinatsu Wakatsuki has a rather inferior complex about her small B cup chest and gets sensitive when people talk about big boobs or other big tittie gravure idols in front of her. Personally I think that’s part of the reason which contributed to her stress but she needs to realize she is a gravure idol and she is in the business of showing off skin.

One of the reasons Chinatsu Wakatsuki has gain much popularity is because of her goofy character, often borderline idiotic yet hilarious mindset and a loose cannon for a mouth. For example, on Fuji TV’s 2004 “Mecha Mecha Iketeru” special in which the show was trying to determine the dumbest Japanese celebrity she shouted out the infamous lines that loosely translates into, “I’m not a dumb-dumb, I’m a ho-ho!!”
