Of course you know Atsuko Maeda, Tomomi Itano and Yuko Ohshima. He's not talking about them. He's talking about the huge chorus of unknowns behind them who do little more than create a cheerleader effect that gets so many otaku hearts fluttering.
Upon hearing this news, quite a few of the "unpopular members" as they are referred ...
Which of these barely legal Japanese Idols would you pick to bark for you?
That's the theme for the new Wonda coffee campaign staring our favorite future porn stars. The rules are simple. When you buy a Wonda coffee, remove the campaign sticker and go to the website and "place your bets" on a roulette wheel full of, you guessed it, the AKB48 girls. If you choose the correct girl, she will say "wan wan!" (woof woof) and you win a dog strap for your cellphone (lame) and a limited edition AKB Wonda coffee with a picture of one of the members on the can.

As Tomomi Itano, of AKB48 fame, embarks on her solo career, she took some time to promote her new single with a live performance.
After performing a few songs, Tomomi took a break to reveal a special prize.

In Japan, couples and lovers don't exchange gifts on Valentine's Day. Ladies give the man of their choice some sweets, usually chocolate. Guys reciprocate with sweets of their own, but not until White Day (March ...

In a recent article in the Japanese Weekly Magazine Extra, Riko Yamaguchi was named the number 1 JAV idol to watch in 2011.
After her departure from hit J-Pop group AKB48, she soon appeared on DVD boxes and computer screens all around Japan (and the world) getting bent over in her signature AKB48 school girl outfit. Her management company tried to sue her, the former AKB48 squad tried to disavow any knowledge of her, and all of us filled our garbage cans with soggy tissues asking what took her so long and who would be next.
Other tops in Extra's 2010 review included Rio for sex ...
