The cover of the new Peach John catalogue features Tomomi Kasai, Yuko Oshima and Haruna Kojima of AKB48. Incidentally, one Peach John tagline reads "Lingerie is Love Jewellery". Fans seem excited by the cleavage and invitations to "touch my heart".

Boy that was fast. From relatively obscure background member of an idol group, to "national idol long awaited by all of Japan" in her first porn appearance. According to her Wiki, she is really 23, but the porn agency has her listed as being 21, and they changed her name to Riko Yamaguchi. Whatever.dimwit wrote:Already happened. Google Rina Nakanishi.

You can tell I go out of my way to keep up with the latest AKB48 news.
This is the sound of Japanese pop success. AKB48, the all-female group, singing their way to the top of Japan's main music charts.
You might think you've seen this story before, but AKB48 is not your standard pop group. Its 48 members rotate in teams to perform live almost every night.
Their latest song, in aid of the Japanese tsunami recovery hit number one, selling over a million copies on its first day of release. Their success inspired the creation of spin-off fruit in Nagoya, Osaka, and more recently in Taiwan and Indonesia. The entire AKB48 franchise includes some 150 girls, making them the largest pop group in the world. But when a group single is released, only a handful of girls are chosen - handpicked by the fans.
The man behind it all is Yasushi Akimoto. A respected music producer in Japan, he created the group in 2005 with the aim of making stars out of ordinary girls.
Despite their formidable fan base in Asia, the group has also gained significant attention around the world, from New York, to Moscow, to Paris. But not everyone is a fan. Critics say that some of Akimoto's lyrics and costumes are too suggestive for the young performers and that the concept sexualizes the innocence of the girls.
This week, on "Talk Asia", we're in Tokyo with music producer Yasushi Akimoto, who explains his secret to success, responds to the critics, and takes us backstage to meet the girls of AKB48...
