Only a small handful of former idols from AKB48 or its bevy of sister groups have managed to establish themselves in gravure, acting, or general entertainment, though a fair few have also branched out into porn instead.
Whatever they do or don't do, it's hard to argue that their appeal isn't based on their looks. And if you've got it, flaunt it.
One recent Japanese TV show certainly seems to call a spade a spade in this regard.
It got together former AKB48 idols for what was essentially an excuse to make them show off their busts and bodies for the camera.
The three top ladies -- Natsuki ...
Kyoko Fukada may well have hit 36 and firmly entered jukujo territory, but she still looks athletic, toned, and "pure" as she did ten years ago. The unmarried model and actress seems determined, like Haruka Ayase and Yu Aoi, to stay young forever.
Her most recent gravure shoot is a perfectly summery one -- complete with beach, sand, and bikinis.
We get to glimpse Kyoko's butt crack and her slender yet healthy-looking body. Seriously, she has barely aged since those awesome lingerie and swimwear shoots she did years ago. What an absolute ...
Having published a nude photo book last year, gravure idol Yumi Asahina (朝比奈祐未) may not have many places to go except adult video or establishing herself as a mainstream actress.
Regardless of her future, she has one amazing asset: her ass.
This is a butt that can look pert and tight in one shot, and then curved and round from a different angle.
That's the kind of versatility we love and need in our lives, and it's why we are crowning Yumi Asahina Ass of the Moment. Quite an achievement, considering what a competitive field it ...
It's an open secret that "compensated dating" (援助交際, enjo kosai) goes on in the Japanese idol world and among even mainstream entertainers and celebrities.
Just as the casting couch exists, so too does the dating table. Idols don't earn that much money and their careers are fickle, so they boost their income with dates.
There doesn't always sex involved, it should be added, but it's surely not impossible. It's like a hostess "dohan" date (where the hostess accompanies you for dining before going to the club together) or services offered by "dating clubs" (交際クラブ, kosai ...
We've always had a soft spot for the slinky, sultry gravure model and actress Moemi Katayama.
After some years in gravure, the 28-year-old with a G-cup is establishing her acting career as she enters her thirties and the jukujo phase of her life. Nonetheless, this didn't stop her from doing a nude photo book a while back.
Even better, though, is the nude sex scene she did in Fumiko's Feet (2018). You get a lingering look at her drooping breasts and she is inevitably asked to ride cowgirl on her male partner so the viewer doesn't miss a glimpse.
The film itself is, as ...
The latest porn release (HND00655) by former NMB48 idol Miko Matsuda (originally known as Risako Okada) is an apparently shameless parody of the Maho Yamaguchi incident.
As was later widely reported, Yamaguchi was sexually assaulted by two fans in December 2018 after her address was inadvertently given to the stalkers by another member of the group. Exposing the exploitative conditions under which idols labor, the management did not acknowledge what had happened until Yamaguchi herself went public. "Mahohon," as she is popular known, first had to issue an apology for the "trouble" she ...
Another week, another arrest for drug charges in the Japanese entertainment world. And another career in ruins.
It is, at the end of the day, all rather silly. In the grand scheme of things, is marijuana such a big deal? Apparently so if you are Tokyo's boys in blue.
We are still not sure how or why the police pounced on the couple -- a tip off from someone? -- but apparently they had grounds to suspect former KAT-TUN singer Junnosuke Taguchi (33) and his girlfriend, former actress Rena Komine (38), of drug offenses. Officers raided the home they shared in Tokyo and found evidence of ...
Another Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome idol has made her adult video debut.
Continuing a trend that has included countless former AKB group idols and Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome ladies like Nana Nanase and Yu Ito, Rina Iijima (飯島里奈) will release her first AV as a digital download from May 25th and then as a physical release on June 1st.
The former fourth-generation Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome member Iijima has now become Yui Nagase (永瀬ゆい) for the 150-minute Yui Nagase, the 149-cm Cute Girl Who Came from Sotokanda -- Fuck Stage (MIFD00070) from Moodyz. The title echoes the debut of ...
The Reiwa era has got off to a bang in some ways. For starters, the popular gravure idol and actress Mai Hakase announced her marriage.
The documents were submitted to a ward office in Tokyo on May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era.
They have been dating for just ten months, which will surely lead to speculation that 32-year-old Mai is pregnant, though nothing of the sort has been announced.
The man is apparently a doctor and three years older than the G-cup goddess.
Congratulations, Mai, though we can't help but feel sad that someone got to you before us!
Continuing this ...
It's May 1st, the inaugural day of the new Reiwa era. And what better time to take a gander at some old porn from this cache of images recently shared online?
Strictly speaking, we reckon these adult magazines come from the Showa period, which ended in 1989, rather than the past three decades of Heisei, but there might be some overlap. Online searches seem to reveal nothing, so they are probably quite obscure.
We just love the titles: from "Visual Communication Magazine for Young Adalt" (sic) and "Fucky-up" (sic) to "Rape me" and "Sexual Les Girls." The shoots themselves range from the ...
