She's back. And though in the interim, there have been thousands of Japanese gravure and music idols to keep us more than entertained, we didn't realize how much we missed the slinky charms of former SDN48 idol Serina (芹那) until we saw her again. And we see a lot of her this time. Since in her first photo book release in 10 years, Serina has gone semi-nude -- showing off her more mature and experienced, 36-year-old body. She graduated SDN48 -- remember, the sexier version of AKB48? -- way back in 2012, after which we heard little about her. Now she's making a jukujo comeback with a ...

This cute Japanese office lady decided to prank her colleague... or otherwise satisfy her own kinky desires. She made an ordinary Japanese onigiri (rice roll) with her hands. But that was just the first one. No, she wanted to give her onigiri something extra for her second attempt. She decided to mold it with her armpit. To be fair to the fastidious folks out there now screwing up their faces in disgust, she did wipe her sweaty armpit first so as to avoid any serious hygiene issues. She then squashed the unsuspecting ball of rice under her arm. The sticky rice, though, ...

This is a working list of idols from AKB48 or sister groups like SKE48 who have graduated onto second careers in nude modeling and/or adult video (AV). There are rumored to be others but these are what we know of. Share if there are others! Momona Kito The most high-profile recent graduate into the porn industry, Momona Kito starred in an ostensibly one-off porn release by Muteki as Yua Mikami. It was such a hit, she has since decided to do more and make a whole career of it. Rina Nakanishi Rina Nakanishi was the pioneer, laying the ground for the other idols who have followed in her ...

We swiftly became fans of curvy, sultry Machiko Tezuka when she first stripped off for a hair nude shoot in 2013. Formerly of now disbanded SDN48, the J-cup mistress has gone through several name changes: from Machiko Tezuka (her real name) to Ourei Harada (Gravure debut) to Eiko Maeda (SKE48 debut), and back to Machiko Tezuka (SDN48 debut). Now the 1986-born Machiko has stripped off again this year for some more photos. She is promoting a new photo book out in October, hence the motivation to take her clothes off again for the tabloids. Hey, we certainly won't complain about some ...

SDN48 was the short-lived "sexy" version of AKB48. Although the smaller sister group had its fans, it ultimately only lasted three years perhaps because, with so many regular gravure idols out there, it didn't seem to have a point. The popularity of AKB48 et al with a certain demographic rests on how they are "innocently" sexy and not so overt, making SDN48 just seem like a cheap gravure group. SDN48's members have gone on to have varied careers but their initial entry into a more overtly sexy idol group at least prepared some for future naked photo shoots. Machiko Tezuka, for example, had ...

Now this is a woman! When those idol group girls graduate and put a few more years on them, this is what they become. Behold, Machiko Tezuka! The 27-year-old hottie was a former SKE48 idol group member who then joined SDN48 for a while. She has had a rather peripatetic career, as these minor idols often do, including joining Seifuku Koji Iinkai for a time in 2002. In 2004 she changed her professional name to Ourei Harada to become a Gravure idol. She then promptly retired in 2007. And then in 2009 she changed it to Eiko Maeda for when she joined in SKE48. And then she ...

The girls are falling thick and fast. We were sad enough when SDN48 -- the "sexy" version of AKB48 -- disbanded in 2012. Then came news at the end of that year that Megumi Ohori, one of it's members, had married a man 12 years older. Now is the bombshell. Megumi is pregnant. People, including us, all speculated that Megumi's marriage was of the shotgun variety and that she was already pregnant. Those rumors turned out to be false but Megumi and her husband were just biding their time, it seems. Now the ripe age of 30, Megumi is way past idoldom and this pregnancy confirms it. Even ...

There's hope for us all yet. We were all a bit sad when SDN48 -- the "sexy" version of AKB48, as if those girls weren't sexualized enough! -- disbanded in March this year. Megumi Ohori was one of the groups "talents" and she was also a minor member of AKB48 once upon a time. The 29-year old cutie had a surprise for everyone when she took part in a special public reunion event at the AKB48 Theater to celebrate the venue's seventh anniversary. She has got married! She is the first former AKB48 member to get married. And her choice of partner? Rest easy, ...

Underage fans of overlarge idol groups rejoice - the long-standing ban on under-18s attending SDN48's theatre performances has been lifted at last, granting you access to the AKB girls' older, edgier counterparts in (almost) all their raunchy glory. SDN, the brainchild of AKB48 producer Yasushi Akimoto, was conceived as an "adult idol" group, differentiated from AKB through sexier attire and their focus as a "Saturday Night"-style act (hence the name) aimed at a more mature audience. Having made their major label debut on Universal Music in November of last year with the single ...

The battle of the Asian girl groups has reached a new level. The relatively newly formed SDN48, who are considered to be the bit older and sexier counterpart to AKB48, have recently armed themselves against sexy K-Pop group KARA. According to Zakzak in Japan, SDN48 has employed a Korean song writer and added "Korean-esque" lyrics to their songs to battle the threat that is the K-Pop boom in Japan at the moment. Lyrics aside, the sexiness levels of both SDN48 and KARA is quite high, but as far as the Japanese public is concerned, KARA and their sexy hip dance is winning. Can SDN48 ...
