What happens to former gravure, music, and porn idols after they retire is a question that often crops up on this blog. We've often written about the different kinds of jobs they do and what it is like to raise a family with that kind of past.
But what about the pictures and videos they made during their idol career? On the whole, these remain available and, unless you were working before the 2000s (and even if before), it's still online for anyone to search and find.
Former Idoling!!! member Mai Endo, though, wants that to end. She left the idol group in 2014 to pursue a solo career. She ...
Former Morning Musume music idol Maki Goto has caused a sensation with her new photo book, flos
Many years ago, she did some great semi-nudes shoots (one on a bed showing off her naked side and barely hiding her tits, and another where she lies naked on a sandy beach).
Gomaki, as she is known to fans, married in 2014 and has two kids, but her image was hit by allegations of adultery with her former boyfriend, leading to a public apology in 2019. Her husband sued the boyfriend for several million yen.
She has subsequently made a comeback as a singer and model.
Part of this comeback was her ...
Yuka Oki has just graduated STU48, the Setouchi-based version of AKB48, and seems determined to make a name for herself.
And as past members of the AKB and Nogizaka sister groups have demonstrated (most recently Miku Tanaka and Ruka Kitano), stripping off is a surefire way to get attention.
She hasn't done quite that, but Oki has done probably her sexist shoot yet.
Aptly titled "Breaking Compliance," Oki's shoot for Flash sees her switch from music idol to gravure idol with aplomb, wearing a figure-hugging leotard or swimsuit that buttons up along the middle.
The high-cut item really ...
It feels like it's been quite some time since we've got excited about a current member of the once-might idol groups like Nogisaka46 or AKB48. Sure, the former members give us plenty of material to wax lyrical about on these digital pages -- we're looking at you, Haruka Kodama and Ruka Kitano -- but are we alone in lacking a crush among current members?
Perhaps that's going to change soon.
Renka Iwamoto (岩本蓮加) is still just 20 years old but a veteran of Nogizaka46, having joined the group way back in 2016.
She's now developed into a mature young woman, as her debut solo photo book, ...
Former Morning Musume idol Maki Goto's 2021 comeback seemed to go well. After a career break caused by marriage, kids, and a rumored affair, Goto returned with a nude photo book that showed off her slender body with plenty of buttocks and side boob on show.
Sales clearly made the efforts worthwhile for Goto and her publisher, because the mother of two is back.
Her latest photo book is called flos and is out on November 29. It's celebrating her 25th anniversary in the entertainment industry.
Thousands, if not millions, of guys who grew up with a crush on Goto in the 2000s are eager to see ...
Malcolm Mask McLaren is a punk rock idol group in Japan with one of the most bizarre names there is. It originally formed in 2015 and the lineup fully disbanded in April 2023.
The group subsequently relaunched with an entirely new lineup of members in May 2023, but one former idol in the group, mone, has decided to start a very different career: as a porn star.
Mone was a member of Malcolm Mask McLaren from March 2016 to September 2018, singing vocals on the first three singles as well as the eventual album at the end of 2016.
She is now making her adult video debut as Tomo Shiraiwa ...
Our last post was about the successful, high-profile porn star Ai Hongo's unfortunate sex scandal that has forced her suspend her career.
While we will miss the slinky Ai Hongo, the truth is that there are lots of fine ladies out there vying to take her place in the Japanese adult video industry.
New performers make their debuts every week.
One who has caught our eye this month is Ito Asahi (朝陽いと), a busty former music idol who has made the switch to porn with her first release on Moodyz.
Her debut (MIFD00518), a 118-minute release, came out on September 13.
It makes a lot of ...
Former SKE48 idol Ruka Kitano has posed semi-nude for a series of lavishly shot pictures in her debut photo book
Released in Japan on September 11 and with a seaside and marine theme, Kitano's photo book is teasingly titled Want to Try Touching?.
Such semi-nude shoots and photo books have become common for the more adventurous music idols looking to boost their careers, but this one is especially sensual and revealing, with pretty much the whole of her body on display and her modesty only barely preserved by a crossed legs and crossed arms in the classic "hand bra" (tebura) ...
The actress and former idol Erina Nakazaki has appeared in what we think is her first nude scene.
Best known for her role in the Kamen Rider series, the 31-year-old appeared in Manji Reverse, which came out in Japan in May this year.
In the film, she rides a man as he lies helpless in his hospital bed. She is shown climbing on top, taking off her shirt and bra to reveal her breasts, while fucking him slowly in the cowgirl position, gradually getting faster and more turned on.
The film is about a love triangle between two men and a woman. It is yet another adaptation of Manji (aka ...
A music idol has been punished for having a boyfriend (and presumably having sex with him) by being forced to post pictures of herself every night to prove she is alone.
Momoka Tojo of girl group Katacoto Bank recently turned 20 but photos of her celebrating her birthday last month with a young man, which she posted herself, quickly attracted the shock and ire of fans.
In response, Tojo quickly deleted the pictures, and the seven-member group (active since 2021), which is stylized KATACOTO * BANK, announced on July 27 that Tojo has promised to "maintain a measure of distance from her ...
