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?) ...
AKB48's Haruna Kojima has shown us what she looks like when she wakes up in bed, in the bath, and gets dressed in the morning.
For her latest ad for Japanese lingerie brand Peach John, the Akihabara idol is shown stripping down and taking alluring selfies.
Kojiharu is the main marketing model for lingerie line Peach John and has frequently appeared in risque advertising stunts for the brand, including stripping off at a race track and doing some downright sizzling photo shoots.
Peach John is encouraging women around Japan to copy Kojiharu by stripping off to their underwear and ...
Bandai's Sailor Moon franchise has created a second set of its limited edition lingerie, with help from Japanese sexy lingerie maker Peach John.
The previous sets were all almost impossible to get your hands on, selling out very quickly. This new series promises to be just as popular, not least because of the way it is being marketed.
Peach John knows all about picking the right sexy models with the right bodies. Last time they had the likes of Rei Yasui looking very nice indeed in the lingerie.
This time round they have Peach John favorite, AKB48's Haruna Kojima, dressed up like ...
As we know, AKB4 hottie Haruna Kojima is a face (and body) of Japanese lingerie brand Peach John.
The latest exploitative ad campaign features Haruna -- officially, according to the AKB rules, a virgin -- getting frigid in the ice. She freezes a foreign guy trying to make advances on her.
In the end, Haruna is seduced by a dashing foreigner who takes off her clothes. She then goes off arm-in-arm with the gaijin, no doubt to break some of those AKB rules on no sex before graduating.
The whole ad is a sort of pastiche of the Disney movie Frozen, which has been a phenomenal ...
After sizzling in previous titillating striptease TV commercial and titillating us with her luxurious body in the lingerie photo shoots, AKB48's only genuinely hot member Haruna Kojima is back with another sexy Peach John TV ad.
This time the scene is -- like a plot from a bizarre outdoor Japanese porn film -- a horse racing track! Haruna first shows off her body on the paddock where she parades her stead. Then she takes to the track to win the race and then promptly take off her clothes again to reveal her modeling the pink "work bra II", which is 20% lighter than a regular bra. All ...
The year is almost over. It's time to look back over the past twelve months at the ladies who made the biggest impression.
Here are our picks, in alphabetical order.
Haruka Ayase
The former idol is now a respected actress and one who confidently assured the country that she need not be typecast in the ditzy girl-next-door roles anymore when she took the lead in the year-long Taiga drama, "Yae no Sakura". We still love her curves, though.
Mitsu Dan
Another big year for the thirtysomething curvy lady. She seemed to be on everyone's lips, figuratively speaking. She even ...
Haruna Kojima, the 25-year-old AKB48 idol who we believe is the only major AKB girl with anything worth talking about, has released her first photo book "Kojiharu".
Just in time for Christmas, the book features a selection of hot images, not least one in which Haruna is doing her best to promote the AKB tradition of the te-bura -- or "hand bra".
AKB girls have a habit of doing this kind of shot, though at least this time there is no child involved.
Here are some luscious snaps from behind the scenes.
And just to prove how nice ...
