Oh, Japan! Amazingly youthful meteorologist-turned-model heating up Japan, swimwear debut at 43

There are certain lines of work that you generally have to get into pretty early in life. For example, while many professional athletes have had careers that continue into their 30s and even 40s, if you haven’t broken into the National Football League by your mid-20s, you’ve probably missed your chance at becoming a starting strong safety for the Pittsburg Steelers.

Bikini modeling is another field that becomes harder to break into the older you get. In Japan, where youth has long been considered a vital component of traditional feminine beauty, it’s not at all unusual for models to make their professional debuts while still in their teens. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and exceptions don’t get much more surprising than Yuko Nakagawa, who’s making her swimwear modeling debut at the age of 43.



On February 1, Nakagawa appeared at a press conference in Tokyo’s Akihabara electronics district to promote her debut DVD, entitled Ashita Tenki ni Nare (or Hoping for Good Weather Tomorrow). While speaking to reporters, the Tokyo native said she’s never thought of herself as having a nice figure, which leads us to think she’s either extremely modest or has terrible eyesight.

PS - She's married. Sorry guys.
