Aki Takajo is the latest former AKB48 idol to strip off.
The 25-year-old, who also appeared with spin-off groups JKT48 and French Kiss, has made her debut as a gravure idol in an alluring semi-nude shoot. She left the AKB empire in 2016.
These ravishing photos are a taster of an upcoming photo book release in October.
AKB and its various sister groups not only mean there is a small army of music idols competing to make a name for themselves, but also an increasingly large army of ex-idols, who have fallen by the wayside and now have no public life other than a ...
Another former AKB48 idol has made her porn debut, once again proving the thin pink line that exists between the industries.
Joining numerous other ex-AKB girls who "graduated" onto to adult video careers, Ryo Sakata's first porn film was released in mid-March from the Maxing label. She has already released a second one this month. Clearly she and her paymasters want to milk her appeal, which is not hard to see.
Here are some preview images from her first release.
To be fair, the 27-year-old Ryo Sakata was only a member of AKB48 for around half a month in ...
Haruna Kojima is about to turn 29 but is still a member of an idol group. That's either dedication or desperation, it seems. Only a very small number of former AKB48 idols have forged successful secondary careers. Most have vanished. Some have become porn stars.
Perhaps conscious of this, Haruna Kojima has delayed her graduation for some time. It was first announced in 2016. But it seems it is finally happening this month, and this year has seen various graduation events to finalize her departure from the one-time supergroup.
And so it is no surprise that she has celebrated her 12 years ...
Are there still any famous ladies left in AKB48? That's a question we often ask ourselves these days. Well, yes and no. The big guns are basically gone but there are still popular idols.
And they are determined to stay in the public eye with eye-catching photo shoots.
Here are the idols of AKB48 like you've never seen them before: as wrestlers! Participants in the shoot were: Jurina Matsui, Sakura Miyawaki, Mion Mukaichi, Kaori Matsumura, Miru Shiroma, Haruka Shimada, Yui Yokoyama and Haruka Kodama.
The shoot was actually a promo for Tofu Puroresu (Tofu Professional Wrestling), a new ...
We all love interacting with our favorite idols on social media. Following their feeds is a way to feel closer to their lives; it tricks us into thinking that we actually "know" them or could actually meet them one day.
After all, the whole original selling point of AKB48 -- other than the vast number of idols in the various levels of the group -- was that these were idols you could meet at "handshaking events" and vote for by at "elections".
And so we get to see the drinks idols ordered at a cafe, or their latest meal or lovely view they are enjoying somewhere.
The selfie has become ...
Former AKB48 idol Satomi Kaneko has joined the growing ranks of idols who have graduated onto "sexier" and more revealing careers.
She has stopped short of doing actual porn yet her new gravure DVD (released on October 21st) is very explicit, full of close-up shots of her shaved you-know-what area.
Netizens are eagerly parsing the images to see if you can see her pussy hair. (You can't, but it's a close thing.)
The 26-year-old with the F-cup left her brief AKB career behind in 2007, since when she has turned to shedding her clothes to maintain an income.
And ...
If you think something is too good to be true, you're probably right.
That's our advice, which should have been followed by the thousands of men who thought they had the chance to go on a date with Atsuko Maeda.
A 38-year-old man was arrested earlier this month for operating a deai-kei dating website that claimed to offer dates with the former AKB48 idol.
He had fled the country but foolishly returned in late September.
Maeda is now a mainstream actress and cannot even be "met" at the famous AKB48 handshaking events. But that didn't seemed to occur to the 370,000 people who paid ...
They say there's always one.
At a recent photo shoot, one steadfast member of AKB48 refused to strip while her peers all obligingly took off their clothes to pose in bikinis.
Eight idols from the music group are on the cover of the current issue of Shukan Shonen Magazine, which is celebrating the top eight idols from the June "election".
The only girl not looking cute in her swimwear is Haruka Shimazaki (Paruru), who placed eighth among the ladies featured.
The other idols include Mayu Watanabe (second), NMB48's Ayaka Yamamoto (fourth), Sakura Miyawaki (AKB48), and of course, ...
Remember Ayaka Morikawa?
You probably don't unless you are a hardcore AKB48 fan. In a former life Ayaka Morikawa was a member of the once-powerful music group from 2012 and 2015, but now she is 20 years old and attempting to move on.
Today she faces that terrible postmodern dilemma: what to do after "graduation"?
Some members start new careers in porn, others into mainstream acting and celebrity. Most others fade away into obscurity or are forced to use crowd-funding to get their projects off the ground.
Ayaka Morikawa possibly just took her first step towards AV with this bizarre ...
Notorious man-eating idol Rino Sashihara has followed up her butt-revealing, semi-nude photo book release with a very sexy shoot for the magazine Anan.
The August 17th issue has some very revealing shots of the slinky, sexually aggressive HKT48 idol.
The long-running magazine has become something iconic for its "sex" issues as well as its semi-nude photo shoots with mainstream actresses and models. Past eyebrow-raising covers include Nanao, Ryoko Yonekura, and Maomi Yuuki.
We could say it's hair nude-lite: female celebrities who want to up their adult ...
