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 ...

A Japanese tabloid has published a photo of AKB48 idol Yuki Kashiwagi in an embrace in a yukata with Yuya Tegoshi, the 27-year-old member of male idol agency Johnny's. According to Shukan Bunshun, it was taken between autumn 2013 and the start of 2014 at an exclusive Japanese inn in Hakone, a venue popular for celebrities to sneak off for some private time away from the prying eyes of the tabloids. Lying down on the floor together after or before a bath, the couple seem very comfortable with each other's bodies. A "friend" of Yuki said that the pair are still very close and ...

Our groins got excited when we heard the recent news that ex-SKE48 idol Momona Kito was to make her AV debut on the Muteki label in June. To whet our appetites for "Princess Peach" (all three hours of it) when it gets released, Yua Mikami (aka Momona Kito) has already posed full nude, revealing her lovely body. These "hair nude" shots are seemingly promo shots for the former idol and were published in the latest issue of weekly tabloid Friday. Scans have been making their way onto the salivating net. She has now joined her former SKE48 peer ...

Kind of. Yuki Kashiwagi's android copy, Yukirin, is getting married to another robot, Frois, a robot designed by Maywa Denki in the likeness of a bath stool. The marriage ceremony is taking place at Aoyama Cay in central Tokyo on June 27th. Perhaps to calm down assuage any otaku, Yukirin has been rechristened Roborin, but to all intents and purposes she appears to be the same robot. Tickets cost ¥10,000 and are limited to 100 people. Is human-robot marriage (and sex!) now only a short step away?! Our imaginations are running wild. Combine a sex machine with an ...

Former office48 (part of the AKS group) executive Takashi Nodera has been arrested and imprisoned for filming illicit naked videos of the young idols under his charge. There has been total silence on this so far in the mainstream media, as well as, needless to say, from the powers that be at AKS, the company that runs the juggernaut that is AKB48. But the tabloids have fortunately broken the story. Takashi Nodera hid secret cameras in bathrooms, dressing rooms and hotel rooms between 2009 and 2010 to film the girls, possibly under age, while they relaxed without clothes ...

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?) ...

As we know, idol groups, most notoriously AKB48, will exploit fans who want to purchase ways to vote for members in "election" or for chances to shake their hand. They do this by selling these privileges as slips of paper included with CDs or other products. The most recent campaign has been a tie-up with Kodansha's Young Magazine, an iconic weekly manga magazine. Kodansha chose a number of idol candidates from various groups (AKB48, NMB48, SKE48, HKT48) and said fans could choose the idol who will appear in a sexy swimsuit photo shoot. (The ladies on the cover are actually from ...

Like that perennial stumper "Where do elephants go to die?", the question of what happens to all the scores of AKB48 idols once they "graduate" is often on our minds. Sure, some go on to mildly successful acting careers. But for the most, there is only oblivion or a career in porn. Faced with this dilemma, Anna Mori decided to go to the grassroots. She launched this crowdfunding campaign to get her first photo book into publication. Why should only the "top" ladies get all the kudos and merchandise? She has her fans too! As she turned 20 (and thus an adult -- yes!), she set a ...

A man in his late thirties living in Tokyo earlier this year sued AKS, the company that manages AKB48, as well as King Records (AKB's record label), and Google Japan for "nonfulfillment of financial obligations" after he had been denied the chance to shake hands with his favorite idol, Karen Iwata. The verdict on the case was heard in a court in Tokyo on November 20th. The court threw out the Hidenobu Onishi's suit, since it ruled the complainant had the choice to purchase or not purchase the band's CDs with the handshaking event tickets. The fan had previously sent AKB member ...

Just when you thought the AKB franchise couldn't get any bigger, along comes another sister group. The AKB empire has stretched its tentacles all over the Japanese archipelago and even to Jakarta in Indonesia. And now the "idols you can meet" concept finally arrives up in the colder climes of Hokkaido, Japan's large northern island. Next spring there will be SPR48, the new sister group in Sapporo, Hokkaido's capital city. This is according to the AKB boss, Yasushi Akimoto, the 56-year-old honcho who the government wants to represent everything "Cool Japan" can offer to the ...
