The ex-AKB48 idol Nana Owada (大和田南那) has posed semi-nude for the current issue of Weekly Flash.
The 22-year-old is promoting her second photo book, "private," which comes out on November 30. The 10-page shoot features unused shots from the upcoming release.
The now-conventional tebura "hand bra" shot is really nice, as is the one where she's lying on her side and her arms just about cover her breasts. That said, it actually looks like she is taming things down from her first photo book, which was even more revealing in terms of the amount of flesh on display (though not outright ...
Former AKB48 member Minami Takahashi, who got married in May 2019 on the first day of the Reiwa era, has revealed that she doesn't like kissing her husband.
This hardly sounds promising for their nuptial bliss, but the reason is pretty understandable.
As the 30-year-old shared with the whole nation on a recently broadcast TV show, Takahashi's husband apparently never brushes his teeth. He would stand at the sink in the bathroom and pretend to brush his teeth, and then even lie to Takahashi when returning to the bedroom (presumably hoping to initiate some intimacy).
And now the inevitable ...
Yuko Oshima has really changed in the seven or so years since she graduated AKB48 (writing which makes us feel old!).
She's reinvented herself as a serious actress, like her former AKB stablemate Atsuko Maeda. She went off to study in America and got herself a foreign boyfriend when she returned.
More recently, the 32-year-old got married (not to the aforementioned foreign boyfriend but to fellow actor Kento Hayashi) this year.
But another chapter in her post-AKB career appeared a couple of years ago: she shot her first sex scenes (unless we missed an earlier example) for All the Things We ...
We cannot quite believe that's approaching five years since we last introduced the charms of Satomi Kaneko.
Formerly of AKB48 (until 2007), the gravure idol has in the past done some provocative and alluring photo shoots showing just how close she can get to nudity while just about maintaining a PG-13 rating.
Cue bare backs, fundoshi and a shaved you-know-what, buttocks and glimpses of a nude butt, side boobs and tebura "hand bras" galore.
Now aged 31, Satomi's career is moving into a new phase. And we will be eternally grateful to whichever gods of fate or Shinto are responsible.
For her ...
How old is too old? When you're an "idol," especially in the music industry, the expectation is that you must be young -- mid-twenties at most.
In a sign that makes us feel, well, old, the early members of AKB48 are now pushing three-oh, if not beyond, but are still determined to milk their fandom.
Today marks Yuki Kashiwagi's thirtieth birthday and has released a photo book, "Experience," to celebrate. It's her first photo book in nine years.
But she's no longer the sweet and innocent young girl of those previous releases; she's now an experienced woman with a body that she wants to show ...
The 22-year-old Ryoka Oshima (大島涼花) has put her past in the idol group AKB48 firmly behind her and made a bold foray into TV drama acting.
In the new erotic anthology series The Night I Became a Beast, broadcast on online streaming channel Abema Premium (formerly AbemaTV), Oshima plays a lead role in the first episode.
She is shown masturbating in a toilet and also in various love scenes where she is ostensibly naked with a co-star, Reiya Masaki, in the bath or in bed. Though seen in close-up riding him cowgirl at one point, the episode seems to feature no actual ...
She promised. She delivered.
Formerly of AKB48, Yuka Masuda left the group in 2012 over a sex scandal. She then tried to make a gravure comeback with limited impact but has continued to work as an actor and a singer.
This time, she has definitely made a lasting impression.
In the second episode of the new season of Netflix drama The Naked Director, which explores the Japanese porn industry in the 1980s through the story of legendary producer Toru Muranishi, 29-year-old Masuda does some great sex scenes with nudity. (If you're pressed for time, skip to the 8-minute and 20-minute marks of ...
We were already excited about the upcoming second season of the Netflix Japanese drama The Naked Director because of the pedigree of the first season, which lived up to its promise of the porn industry premise and then some with awesome nudity and sex scenes galore.
Then came news that the singer Mariya Nishiuchi had been cast as a porn star, offering the tantalizing prospect that she would make her nude debut in the series, which deals with the career of legendary adult video director and producer Toru Muranishi.
Now comes a trailer and we are delighted to see former AKB48 idol Yuka Masuda ...
What ever happened to those original major AKB48 stars after they left the group and got older?
Most have disappeared from the limelight. Some have got married and started families. A select few like Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima have switched into "serious" acting.
For Yuki Kashiwagi, there are still offers for major gravure shoots. She recently graced that cover of Young Jump and a generous 12-page spread inside.
This is impressive considering she is about to turn 30, which basically places her in jukujo MILF territory by the dubious standards of the gravure industry. Most of her peers ...
Airi Rissen (立仙愛理) might well be one of the lesser-known idols in the AKB48 ranks, but that may change soon.
The 21-year-old from AKB48 Team 8 and Kochi Prefecture representative was doing a live broadcast online while dressed in a sailor school uniform. That alone would probably send fans into raptures, but then she decided to stand up.
Since she was wearing a skirt, fans were treated to a glimpse of the holy grail: her white panties.
Oh, panchira. The treasured upskirt view of a woman's panties. As sought-after as the "real thing" (i.e., what's underneath those panties) by some. ...
