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 ...
It's always a sad day when we spot news that our favorite gravure idols have got hitched.
Back in 2015 Yumi Sugimoto produced probably her sexiest and most naked photo book ever. "Chiamata" showed off quite a bit of flesh, even if it wasn't quite full-frontal stuff.
Well, enjoy those images for all they are worth, folks. That photo book may well be her last, assuming the common pattern repeats here. Sugimoto has now gotten married to a man four years her junior after around a year of dating, it emerged at the end of December. Typically gravure idols stop working as ...
Here is an awesome, belated Christmas present for you folks: nude photos of Moemi Katayama that have leaked ahead of the official release of her new photo book out next year.
The 26-year-old Katayama has become increasingly better known over the past 1-2 years. She released her first photo book in September and the new one, "Rashin", comes out on January 5th. Since 2015 she has been a favorite gravure idol for weekly tabloid magazine shoots, and even appeared in a Kirin ad in May.
This, though, is by far the most explicit the busty G-cup gravure idol has ...
One of our ongoing preoccupations is what happens to gravure and music idols after they stop being famous. Once they have faded into obscurity, how do they survive? Get married and become homemakers? Go into hostessing or even prostitution? Or a totally different line of work?
Some evidently advance into careers in AV.
We also previously looked at the case of Yuka Kosaka, who now runs a nursery school in Chiba.
Others make the unexpected leap into mainstream politics.
Here is another cautionary tale.
The tarento Hanako Takigawa is only 28 but already has had a troubled, up-and-down ...
It's the video that launched a thousand imitators (and counting).
Pikotaro's PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) video made "PPAP" one of the buzzwords of the year and inspired a whole meme industry.
No doubt it will blow over in a few weeks' time.
Until them we can enjoy the variations, not least this eye-opening one by gravure idol Jun Amaki.
The busty gal is best known for her "I cup" chest and being a petite 148cm. That's quite a combination. She's also a former member of the masked idols group Kamen Joshi.
She has created a version of Pikotaro's PPAP ...
Japanese TV is not known for its quality but it at least never fails to impress with its latest nude novelties or risque antics.
Now a TV show has appeared featuring gravure idols wearing sexy bikinis. Nothing new about that. There are even shows about gravure idol in armor.
But these are "failed" gravure idols, ladies who haven't made it big (yet). The idea is that the minor idols make their last grasp at fame on the show, wearing everything from noren (the low curtains that hang over entrances in Japan) to toilet paper, kagami mochi (a New Year decorative rice cake) or even lids of ...
Sendy Ariani, an idol from JKT48, the Jakarta-based sister group spin-off from AKB48, was fired in November for "inappropriate" actions. As usual, AKS did not elaborate and kept the scandal shrouded in ambiguity, though it hardly takes a genius to spot the clues.
That was back in November. A few weeks later, some of the truth is coming out -- namely in the form of leaked sex photos and a video allegedly showing Sendy Ariani enjoying herself with a male partner.
It looks quite a like her, but we can't confirm these are real so let us know what you ...
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 ...
A new series of instant noodle ads use a gravure idol, music idol, go-go dancers, race queen, and well-known seiyuu. What more could you ask for?
Kara-Ou is apparently pretty spicy -- so hot, in fact, that they hired in-demand gravure idol Sayaka Tomaru and music idol Erina Kamiya as well as Karen and Kazue, go-go dancers from CYBERJAPAN DANCERS (yes, the troupe that's perhaps the sexiest thing in Japan right now), race queen Aya Hayase, and voice actress Chiaki Takahashi.
Watch these ladies get hot and sweaty as they gulp down the noodles.
Here is busty Sayaka Tomaru.
And ...
Want to see what Kanna Hashimoto is like in bed? The sweeter-than-sweet is unlikely to be making her actual porn debut any time soon (though many of her music idol peers do have a habit of "graduating" into adult careers, so it's not completely off the books), but the next best thing is this Kanna Hashimoto lookalike porno.
Kanna, if you recall, burst into the mainstream in 2013 after capturing the hearts of Japan's netizens. Since then she has become a major force in the music idol industry and fronts big advertising campaigns.
This porn title stars Kaname Otori, who was born in ...
