Earlier this week, we wrote about Haruna Kojima's sexy body that the 36-year-old showed off for all the world to see on her social media (and also cleverly promoting her own brand of lingerie). Now the head of her own fashion company and basking in the wealth that comes from selling a clutch of shares to a major retailer, the former AKB48 idol has also just announced a gravure comeback with her first photo book in nine years! The as-yet-untitled book will come out in Japan via major publisher Takarajimasha on October 28. Her previous photo book in 2015 sold 170,000 copies and Kojiharu ...

When we look back to those first generations of AKB48 in the late 2000s, it almost seems like carefree halcyon days when the nastiness of Japan's idol industry -- which we all knew was there -- was not the dominant talking point in the discourse, and everywhere we went we saw ads featuring the young ladies from the Akihabara supergroup. Most of the members are now long gone from our lives, both those from the first "generation" and subsequent ones, with perhaps just a couple -- Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima -- succeeding at establishing real acting careers. We always had a soft spot for slinky ...

The former AKB48 idol Haruna Kojima has returned to gravure with her first shoot in six years. She appears in a cover shoot for Young Magazine's May 1 issue, which went on sale this week. As you might expect, the return of the model -- now aged 34, well into luscious jukujo territory -- known for her pale skin and slinky body has generated reams of media coverage. The magazine shoot, which was done in Okinawa, features Kojiharu in alluring, summery swimwear. We've included some highlights here. Her last bikini gravure shoot was for Young Magazine in 2017. The comeback is ...

The New Year (Oshogatsu) period in Japan is characterized by the various household decorations people put up, the special food that is cooked for consumption on January 1, and the TV marathons that people indulge in, largely for lack of anything else to do. But there are rays of hope underneath the dregs: occasional shows that contain segments almost expressly designed to make the male members of the household sit up and take notice. Former AKB48 idol and model Haruna Kojima, who we featured in our recent roundup of New Year tiger cosplay, was part of the cast of a January 1 nighttime show, ...

Happy New Year. We welcome in the Year of the Tiger by checking out a small sampling of the great tora-themed sexy cosplay posted on social media by Japanese cosplayers, gravure models, porn stars, and more. We start with an obvious choice: Japan's top cosplayer, Enako, whose contribution looked both busty and cozy. Former AKB48 idol and lingerie model Haruna Kojima, who seems to be visiting Paris at the moment, made do with a croissant pose and some cat cosplay (albeit it in colors/pattern that was more like a cow than a tiger). Shibari model Cana achieved an intimacy and warmth with ...

Someone shared a behind-the-scenes video of Haruna Kojima at a photo shoot while she is getting ready. She's standing in her panties as members of her staff attend to her body and clothing. Though she's sadly wearing a top to preserve her modesty, her slinky panties reveal more than perhaps the people present expected. Japanese netizens, perhaps with too much time on their hands, have paused the video and zoomed in to see that it might show Haruna Kojima's paipan (fully shaved) pussy. To be fair, you don't seem much -- but that's the point. If she wasn't fully shaved or waxed down there, ...

Haruna Kojima is about to turn 29 but is still a member of an idol group. That's either dedication or desperation, it seems. Only a very small number of former AKB48 idols have forged successful secondary careers. Most have vanished. Some have become porn stars. Perhaps conscious of this, Haruna Kojima has delayed her graduation for some time. It was first announced in 2016. But it seems it is finally happening this month, and this year has seen various graduation events to finalize her departure from the one-time supergroup. And so it is no surprise that she has celebrated her 12 years ...

Despite recently marrying (or perhaps because she recently married) Japan's most eligible bachelor, Masaharu Fukuyama, Japanese women have chosen Kazue Fukiishi as the celebrity with the best breasts. Fukuiishi has a nice slender body but she certainly wouldn't be most people's initial choice. She hardly has much of a bust to speak of anyway, though what she has was shown off in a series of UNIQLO ads. She also posed semi-naked for women's magazine Anan a few years ago. Second was Ryoko Shinohara, who raised some eyebrows with her tantalizing bra ad for Triumph. Less ...

We always knew that Haruna Kojima was sweet but now there's proof at last. Here she is adorning the cover of Sweet magazine in all her naked glory. Okay, so thanks to some clever angles you can't see her special parts but you get the idea. Considering how many AKB48 and sister group ladies have graduated into the porn industry, perhaps Kojiharu is practicing? After all, we don't think she will have much of a post-AKB48 career, considering her lack of star power compared to other first-generation girls. Enjoy her while it ...

The career of Haruna Kojima (known as Kojiharu to her fans) may be on the wane, having lost the lucrative Peach John lingerie modeling gig to Saeko and her sizzling charm. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have the power still to shift magazines. To launch her new photo book, Kojiharu has been featured on the cover of Playboy magazine. Inside is a sweet photo shoot showing off her pale body. There is some serious Photoshop going on here, though. Kojiharu famously has very sensitive skin and close-ups on TV usually reveal this. Her new photo book is called Dou suru? (What shall we do?) ...
