Singer You Yokoyama is dating NMB48 member Sumire Yokono, who is half his age

Can you imagine the surprise if a 40-year-old female model were dating a 20-year-old male idol? But the other way round, it's just another day in the urban jungle. Especially if you're a celebrity.
Weekly tabloid Shukan Bunshun has scored a minor scoop with an article claiming that singer You (or Yu) Yokoyama of Kanjani Eight is sleeping with Sumire Yokono of NMB48.
Yokoyama, who is 39, was in Kyoto to perform in a play in early March. After the show was over one day, he returned to his hotel -- where he was soon apparently joined by a young woman.
This lady is, Shukan Bunshun reckons, ...
Sumire Yokono of NMB48 goes braless at 19 for debut photo book
November 26, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
Sumire Yokono of NMB48, the Osaka sister group of AKB48, is celebrating her nineteenth birthday with a braless photo shoot.
Yokono has a hot, slinky body that is sensual and leggy that belies her youth. But we've so far only seen her in lingerie or swimwear.
Now she's gone semi-nude for her first photo book, "Anata no yoko no" (literally, Next to You -- but also a play on her name, meaning "Your Yokono"), which was shot in the sunnier climes of Okinawa and comes out on December 16 in Japan -- shortly after Su-chan's nineteenth birthday (meaning she was a comely 18 when the photos were ...
Chihiro Kawakami of NMB48 accidentally flashes panties during live Zoom session for fans
June 23, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
In these coronavirus times, Zoom has become an essential tool for life and work.
But it has also led to some amusement, like when actor Yosuke Kubozuka recently got drunk during a live Zoom session with fans and fell asleep.
People like to opt for virtual backgrounds to hide anything embarrassing that may appear on camera behind them, but what about something in front? And between their legs?
NMB48's Chihiro Kawakami suffered this manner of misfortune when she gave fans much more than they were expecting during a Zoom session.
Her skirt had hitched itself up so high while she sitting that ...
Ex-NMB48 idol Miyuki Watanabe models for Peach John lingerie brand
May 14, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
We like it when the legions of idols who pass through the ranks of AKB48 and its sister groups manage to find second careers after graduation. This is actually quite rare, though a lucky few do go on to work as actors, singers, models, tarento, or other types of entertainers.
Now Miyuki Watanabe, formerly of NMB48, has established herself as an underwear model by posing for Peach John.
The shoot has shown off a lot more of her cleavage than we have seen until now, and we like the results, even if Miyuki is far from what we might call busty.
The popular lingerie brand ...
Highlights from new Sae Murase photo book “S ga ii”
April 27, 2020
/ Tadashi Anahori
NMB48's Sae Murase has posed for stunning lingerie shoots featuring the popular idol in various states of undress.
These are all highlights promoting the 23-year-old's new, eagerly awaited photo book "S ga ii" (roughly, I Like to be Sadistic), which was released on April 22. It is Murase's debut photo book and was produced in South Korea.
The slinky lady looks devastating in black or leopard print panties. Her slim waist is so hot it could melt cheese. And man, those pert buttocks are practically clenched tight enough to bite.
Needless to say, these previews have ...
Netizens reveal the naked butt of ex-NMB48 idol Kei Jonishi
December 9, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
When you do a photo shoot, be prepared for netizens to do their work once scans or digital versions of the images go online. Industrious fans will use all the tools and software at their disposal to get the results they want.
In this case, a translucent, black dress fetchingly worn by former NMB48 idol Kei Jonishi on the front cover of her new photo book has been brightened to show that the young lady is not wearing any panties while she elegantly knelt in the sea.
While the results are a little artificial, they do expose Kei Jonishi's naked butt cheeks for all the world to see at last. ...
Ex-NMB48 idol Miyuki Watanabe is semi-nude for new photo book
September 2, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
Formerly of idol group NMB48, Miyuki Watanabe's new photo book sees the slinky young lady pose semi-nude. The shoot includes the 25-year-old in a tebura ("hand bra") pose for her first photo book in three years, Miyuki desu. (This is Miyuki.).
While the semi-transparent bottoms are rather lovely and there's the hint of a butt crack, it's not a particularly explicit in terms of nudity -- no buttocks on display, just some side boob -- but fans will still be pleased with the tantalizing glimpses she offers of her body.
Will this be enough to maintain her career after leaving the ...
NMB48’s Miru Shiroma promotes release of first photo book “Love Rush” with nude shoot
June 20, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
On June 19, Miru Shiroma of AKB48 sister group NMB48 releases her first photo book "Love Rush." As a preview and promo of what's inside, the current issue of weekly tabloid Shukan Playboy has a double-sided cover with an alluring shot of the popular idol without a top on and her breasts covered by her hair.
Is this a kind of pun? As in, a "hair nude" without the nudity -- just the hair? It's also a sort of update on the usual "hand bra" shot.
There was already buzz about Miru's "busty" debut photo book back in the spring when some images and details about the Australian shoot emerged. ...
The latest porn release (HND00655) by former NMB48 idol Miko Matsuda (originally known as Risako Okada) is an apparently shameless parody of the Maho Yamaguchi incident.
As was later widely reported, Yamaguchi was sexually assaulted by two fans in December 2018 after her address was inadvertently given to the stalkers by another member of the group. Exposing the exploitative conditions under which idols labor, the management did not acknowledge what had happened until Yamaguchi herself went public. "Mahohon," as she is popular known, first had to issue an apology for the "trouble" she ...
NMB48 Miru Shiroma debut photo book gets busty in Australia
April 15, 2019
/ Tadashi Anahori
NMB48's Miru Shiroma is hoping to establish herself as a stand-out star in her own right among the very crowded AKB league of idols with her debut photo book.
Lavishly shot on the Gold Coast of Australia, the 21-year-old's unnamed first photo book will be released in Japan on June 19th.
Clearly hoping to up the sales and her fan numbers by revealing some bust, the preview shots that have now appeared position Miru as a seductress Down Under. Goodbye cute, hello sexy.
What do you think of this new direction for Miru?
Until more images for the as-yet untitled book become available, here ...
