AKB48 Asuka Kuramochi releases first solo (and sexy) photo book

AKB48‘s Asuka Kuramochi has grown up. She will release her first solo photo book on September 11th called “Mimi-tabu”, which means “earlobe”.

We’re not sure if this has some sort of coded meaning or whether the photos will showcase Asuka’s lovely ears. Saying that, Asuka is known as an “ear sommelier” and apparently has a liking for liking other girls’ ears…

The release will coincide with her 24th birthday, though we think the present is more for us than her!

The shoot was done in Asuka’s local town, Yokohama, and handled by photographer Tatsuo Watanabe.

While images from the photo book are limited right now, expect them to explode online after September 11th.

We wonder if AKB48 fans will be mugging people in order to get their hands on copies of the book…
