It took her a while but former SKE48 idol Kanako Hiramatsu (平松可奈子) has finally got herself a solo gravure shoot. In the December 20 issue of Weekly Playboy, the 30-year-old poses for a sexy spread more than a decade after her debut. They say that good things are worth waiting for and we think she looks even better than before. The shoot might just have planted the seeds of a gravure comeback. Alternative shots from it will be turned into a digital photo book. Kanakana was a member of SKE48 from 2008 to 2013. In the years since, she has graduated college and started her ...

It's a crowded market for minor celebrities and idols, especially if you come from the competitive ranks of AKB48 or its sister groups. While a few former members have gone on to have major careers -- mostly the original generations of idols -- hundreds of others have faded from view or pursued careers like porn that they perhaps did not expect (but for which we are grateful). That said, we think this is the first time we've heard of a former idol from the AKB-related groups turning to crime to make ends meet. Juna Yamada (山田樹奈) was arrested on March 16 in Nagoya for fraud, ...

The AKB network of idol supergroups faces a particular challenge in these COVID days of maintaining revenue when meet-and-greet and even concerts are not realistic. The idols remain popular, of course, and field requests to appear in the weekly magazines or release photo books. Mina Oba, for instance, recently appeared in a photo shoot for the weekly magazine Flash. The lingerie shoot showed off the 28-year-old modest yet sensual bust. Thank you, Mina, for taking our minds off the emerging third wave of corona infections in Tokyo. It's probably about time for Team K's ...

The tabloid, Otakara, claims that the unnamed former SKE48 idol is now working at Osaka's Tobita Shinchi red-light district as a prostitute. According to the magazine, the idol offers blow jobs with a condom for ¥16,000, though kissing is not allowed. Full sex with a condom is also apparently possible. The idol joined the group in 2009 but was an underdog in the elections. Hmm...we wonder who it could be. We have no way of verifying the truth behind this short of visiting every establishment in Tobita Shinchi (sounds like a fun assignment!), nor have we yet seen the full article in the ...

All idols are equal, but some idols are more equal than others. There has always been disparity among idols, even when they belong to the same group or to sister groups. However, producers are frowning at the current sales of a top AKB48 sister group idol's photo book, despite the very strong numbers of recent publications released by members of Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46. Akari Suda of SKE48 has apologized to fans that her debut photo book, "Kawaiku naru Houhou" (The Way to Become Cute), released in August, has conspicuously failed to sell, despite a print run of 50,000. Three-week ...

At a recent concert, one fan happened to be in the perfect position when SKE48 idol Haruka Kumazaki was doing an up-close meet-and-greet round of the stadium. Sure, he or she wasn't seated in the stands where Haruka Kumazaki actually came to say hello. But they had the next best thing -- or perhaps something even better. By being behind her, they could capture a unique panchira upskirt shot when she bent over to greet eager fans. Under her skirt, Haruka's panties are tightly wrapped around her buttocks and rolling up to wedge in her butt crack. Her knee-high socks also really show off ...

It's been a while since we wrote about K-pop, but this isn't just any Korean music group. In fact, it's not even Korean at all. Honey Popcorn comprises entirely Japanese adult video idols -- but who used to be music idols. Confused? Let us explain. Moreover, the lineup includes one of the top names in Japanese porn right now: none other than former SKE48 idol Yua Mikami (Momona Kito). The other two ladies in Honey Popcorn are Miko Matsuda and Moko Sakura. Those names may not be immediately familiar to readers, but their former professional monikers probably are. Risako Okada is a ...

When former SKE48 idol Momona Kito decided to change her professional name to Yua Mikami and switch careers to adult video, her fans rejoiced -- and even more so when she swiftly rose to be one of the biggest porn stars in Japan. You might think that rewarding them with hours of footage of her naked voluptuous body being fucked by countless guys was enough. No, the newly reborn and wildly successful Yua Mikami wants to give her fans even more. And you probably can't get a more personal service better than this. Her latest release from S1 No.1 Style ostensibly recruits 20 actual otaku ...

In addition to buying up all the CDs and merchandise they can get their hands on, otaku fans like to send their favorite idols various personal gifts, from handmade art to flowers and toys. Given that the line between fans and stalkers is quite thin sometimes, the idols and their management agencies need to take precautions. The meet-and-greet sessions, for example, at one time became notorious because fans were allegedly masturbating and leaving their spunk on their hands for idols to touch by accident. They called it the "semen handshake". Yes, nice to meet you indeed! Now Kaori ...
