Music idol Ourin releases first photo book

Here’s a nice little (late) Christmas present for you.

The Japanese tarento and music idol Ourin (王林) is branching out into gravure with the release of her first solo photo book.

Born in 1998, the Aomori native made her debut way back in 2007 and has been part of several idol groups over the years.

One Chance was released by Shueisha on December 20. We love its flamboyant, bubble-era look.

She has previously released calendars, so gravure is not a completely new career path for her, but the swimwear photos definitely seem to indicate a conscious step up in the sexy stakes compared to the 25-year-old’s past shoots.

Here are some preview images to whet your appetite.

Despite the name of the photo book, we hope it’s not the only chance to see Ourin’s slinky body in swimwear.
