In what may be every foreign otaku's dream come true or the stuff of nightmares, Yuko Oshima has been snapped by the lens of a tabloid photographer on an intimate date with a foreigner. The lucky man is apparently an American. (Incidentally, Oshima is herself a quarter American, which may or may not be relevant.) The couple were followed while they walked arm in arm in Tokyo, with Oshima wearing a face mask as is common for celebrities. They had attended a showing of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, which is a mega hit in Japan. The tall and bearded boyfriend was also reportedly spotted ...

Former AKB48 idol Rina Hirata has released a virtual reality video so hot and revealing that netizens are comparing it to adult video. The 32-minute digital content "My First VR, My First Me, Rina Hirata" (5497FAPRO00001), from the Prologue series by Fantastica, shows a POV shot of 20-year-old Rina in sensual red lingerie as she sits on a bed with you, the lucky viewer. Replicating the intimate style of hamedori porn, the camera (your "eyes") lingers slowly and lovingly over her bust, curvy stomach, and round butt just an inch or two from the lens. Subtle it ...

The AKB48 idol Yuki Kashiwagi, whose fans once turned her into a robot, has stripped down to her panties in an episode of the current TV drama Kono koi wa tsumi na no ka!? (Is This Love a Crime?!). In what is probably a very Japanese touch, the panties had cute strawberries on them. While this time there is little more than just a glimpse at the back of her panties, the trailer for the next episode of the show hints at some shots of her bust. Pretty tame stuff, sure, but we reckon fans are delighted. The 27-year-old Yuki Kashiwagi, aka Yukirin, is one of the most ...

The tebura or "hand bra" is a frequent trope in gravure. What can be more alluring, it seems, than an idol or model covering her breasts with just her bare hands? Recent examples include Rola and Minami Minegishi. It has become something of a rite of passage for AKB-kei alumni, not least Minegishi, Haruna Kojima, Yuko Oshima, Kei Jonishi. It can also get them into trouble, though, as the lesson of Tomomi Kasai notably shows. Her post-AKB career never recovered. The latest idol to try her luck with this tactic is Ayaka Umeda, formerly of AKB48 and NMB48. However, her tebura shot, published ...

Former AKB48 idol Ayaka Umeda has attempted to further her post-supergroup career with a new photo book -- and one which notches things up a few levels of sexiness. The 29-year-old, who was also a member of NMB48 and left the AKB world in 2016 after a ten-year stint, has posed semi-nude for an as-yet untitled first photo book scheduled for release this December. Knowing she is on the cusp of thirty and jukujo territory, it's make or break for her career. As such, she's got her ass out during the shoot -- alluring preview images from which are now spreading like wildfire online. Older ...

Yuki Kashiwagi, the AKB48 idol who inspired her own fan-made robot, is following in the footsteps of her ex-colleague Haruna Kojima and establishing herself as a lingerie model. Or at least, she's making her first major steps in that direction. She is now the latest model for Japanese lingerie brand Ravijour (the rival of Peach John, which was paying for Kojiharu's services until recently), having been announced as an ambassador back in the spring. In fact, though, Yuki Kashiwagi is apparently doing more than just stepping in front of the camera with barely any clothes on. If you believe ...

All idols are equal, but some idols are more equal than others. There has always been disparity among idols, even when they belong to the same group or to sister groups. However, producers are frowning at the current sales of a top AKB48 sister group idol's photo book, despite the very strong numbers of recent publications released by members of Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46. Akari Suda of SKE48 has apologized to fans that her debut photo book, "Kawaiku naru Houhou" (The Way to Become Cute), released in August, has conspicuously failed to sell, despite a print run of 50,000. Three-week ...

Last month, news broke that former AKB48 member Marie Watanabe had appeared in porn as an "amateur" (shiroto) performer. Though she graduated from AKB48 way back in 2007 and actually made very few professional concert appearances with the music group, local netizens were still very excited by what they saw of Watanabe in action -- not least the thrill of yet another AKB idol getting down and dirty. The buzz was so strong that it seems she was approached by porn producers to do more. Now performing under the new professional name of Nana Mizushima, Watanabe will make her official AV ...

While streaming a live video on her Instagram account, AKB48's Yuna Hattori seems to have inadvertently revealed not only a panchira up-skirt shot but even a glimpse of her hairy muff. Japanese netizens with lots of time have taken frames from the video, freezing it for signs of forbidden fruits. Sure enough, Hattori's shorts were loose enough to apparently show us more than she expected or wanted. It's blurry, of course, but you can almost see strands of her Holy Grail between her legs. Not quite the whole bush, granted, but hints of it... perhaps? For the record, ...

Japanese netizens with beady eyes and dirty imaginations are speculating that former AKB48 idol Marie Watanabe and now dokusha model ("reader model") had a career as an amateur porn star. Such "shiroto" adult video releases are, of course, professional but they are filmed in such a way that they look like a woman is being picked up off the street. Performers are often inexperienced or first-timers. Given the pedigree of Yua Mikami (formerly Momona Kito) and various others, Marie Watanabe would hardly be the first AKB or related music group idol to work in adult video. She actually joins a ...
