Like a lot of gravure idols recently, RaMu has taken to YouTube to connect directly with fans and also occupy herself during downtime (which the coronavirus pandemic is generating a lot of for precariously employed models and idols).
These days, gradols are YouTubers, and one video that RaMu uploaded at the end of 2020 is gaining some traction (over 360,000 views and counting).
In it, 23-year-old RaMu talks about the secrets of how a gravure photo shoot works. It is all in Japanese but she has some illustrative props.
These include panties with see-through string so that the model can pose in such a way that she appears to be nude, and (surprisingly large) strapless nipple/bust covers so she can show off some side boob while still preserving her modesty.
Fans often scrutinize the results of photo shoots in the hope of catching sight of a nipple showing underneath the swimwear or lingerie. RaMu says that models wear silicone pasties to avoid nipples showing, especially on cold days when the temperature is apt to reveal more than intended unless the model is careful.
RaMu even explains how a model manages to get through an intimate gravure shoot when it is her period: essentially with some grist and help from a special pantyliner towel especially designed for thongs.
If you like this topic, you may well be interested in this video on Umi Shinonome’s YouTube account in which she shares actual behind-the-scenes footage of a gravure shoot. The 24-year-old Umi Shinonome is curvier than RaMu, with an acclaimed butt that might make her the next Yuka Kuramochi.
