Busty tarento Aki Hoshino, 33, has released a book, Hoshino Body (Gakken Publishing, ¥1,470), in which she shares tips with female readers on how to apply makeup and retain one’s body shape. “If you read this book, you’ll be able to look like me,” said the 165cm-tall Hoshino, showing her ample 88-56-87 figure at a book launch event in Tokyo. Of course, journalists in attendance were more interested in her love life. Asked if a woman needs love to maintain her beauty, Hoshino—who is in a relationship with 20-year-old jockey Kosei Miura—said: “Yes, you need a beautiful love. I have that in my life now. But don’t ask me about marriage. It’s not in the near future for me.”
