We wrote a few weeks ago about the exciting news that music idol Maki Goto is making a comeback (after taking a break to get married and have two kids -- and allegedly having an affair). The former Morning Musume member has relaunched her music career with live concerts, and is building her profile and fandom again through an active YouTube output. Even better, she's releasing a photo book, "ramus," on November 29 from Kodansha. It's her first in 10 years. And from the previews we've seen, "ramus" clearly harks back to her time as a girl-next-door cutie who once did lingerie shoots and a ...

Ex-Nogizaka46 idol Ami Nojo has a sex scene in the second season of the drama The Night I Became a Beast (Watashi ga kemono ni natta yoru), which began streaming on Abema Premium this month. The 27-year-old was a member of Nogizaka46 from 2011 to 2018, but now focuses on acting. Fans will be happy about seeing Ami Nojo's nude back and the scenes of her in her underwear, though anyone looking for actual nudity or more explicit scenes of her will go away disappointed. It seems she, or her management, isn't ready to cross that line yet. The anthology series The Night I Became ...

Fans of former NMB48 (and AKB48) idol Miyuki Watanabe are in for a real treat. The cute idol, who left NMB48 in 2016, previously delighted us with her lingerie shoot for Peach John in 2020. The year before that, her photo book featured semi-nude shots of her with her arms held against her chest. This latest photo shoot is a similar kind of semi-nude wonder, with the 28-year-old turned to look alluringly at the camera, her arm covering her modest breasts, and showing off plenty of bare back and leg. The shoot is for the current (December) issue of fashion and beauty magazine Bijin Hyakka. ...

It's been a long, long wait, but one of our all-time favorites idols is back. Sure, she's older and wiser. Yet boy, does she still look great. Former Morning Musume idol Maki Goto has been relatively quiet these past years, though launched a YouTube account in April 2020. The content of the videos is mostly pretty banal (trying food, makeup tips, etc.), but it was the first main indication that she was making a comeback. What has she been doing in the time since she left Morning Musume? In 2015, she married and started a family. She now has two children, though she admitted to having had an ...

Former AKB48 member Minami Takahashi, who got married in May 2019 on the first day of the Reiwa era, has revealed that she doesn't like kissing her husband. This hardly sounds promising for their nuptial bliss, but the reason is pretty understandable. As the 30-year-old shared with the whole nation on a recently broadcast TV show, Takahashi's husband apparently never brushes his teeth. He would stand at the sink in the bathroom and pretend to brush his teeth, and then even lie to Takahashi when returning to the bedroom (presumably hoping to initiate some intimacy). And now the inevitable ...

In the latest high-profile infections among celebrities in Japan, Nogizaka46 has announced that two of its members, Kaede Sato and Yuki (or Yuuki) Yoda, have contracted the novel coronavirus. After a PCR test on August 27 for all the members of the idol group, the 22-year-old and 20-year-old were confirmed to have the virus, though not any symptoms of COVID-19 as of writing. Yoda (pictured) released a photo book earlier this year. As we recently reported, other top Japanese idols have contracted the virus, including gradols Jun Amaki and Fumika Baba. Another popular model, Fumina Suzuki, ...

Manatsu Akimoto of Nogizaka46 has released a brand new photo book. Released this week, it shows off more of her body than fans (and perhaps even the creators) might expect -- namely, that she is fully shaved downstairs. The 26-year-old is pulling down her panties just enough, if you zoom in, to show that she is almost certainly paipan between her lovely legs. She also looks great prancing around a summery house in what seems to be just a long white shirt, or with her naked body wrapped up in a sheet in the garden. Akimoto's second solo photo book, "I Want to be Happy" (Shiawase in shitai), ...

If like us you need some distraction from the coronavirus, here are two very fine ones. Namely, the boobs of Nogizaka46 idol Yuki (Yuuki) Yoda, who is releasing a new photo book. "Mukuchi na Jikan" (Silent Time) features shots of the 19-year-old cutie in the bath, covered in bubbles and showing off her bust. No breasts on display, of course, since this is Nogizaka46, but there is plenty of flesh to admire nonetheless. Her combination of busty chest and slender body is quite something. "Mukuchi na Jikan" is Yoda's second photo book and came out in Japan yesterday, March ...

Just time for a quick post today, but here's a reminder -- if any were needed -- that Mariya Nagao is still the hottest ex-AKB48 member we know. Since leaving the supergroup and forging her own acting and gravure idol career, she has continued to exploit her glamorously alluring yet girl-next-door looks in combination with a tight body and (relatively) plump ass. This most recent gravure photo shoot -- promoting a new 2020-2021 calendar release -- proves once again what a reliable star she is. Thank you, Mariya, for taking our minds off the coronavirus crisis and the hay fever that is ...

For her debut photo book, Mizuki Yamashita of the idol group Nogizaka46 has gone for the provocative, almost-nude approach that fellow and former members like Misa Eto and Seira Miyazawa did successfully. In the photo book, Wasurerarenai hito (Unforgettable Person), which was released January 21 from Shogakukan, the 20-year-old idol is seen nude behind a cloudy shower door. She is also pictured in the bath (again, the water is unfortunately cloudy) in a couple of shots, clutching her dripping bust with her arms. Another photo shows her naked, with a sheet held casually to her front and the ...
