Former AKB48 Member Begins New AV Idol Career

According to ZakZak and this very popular YouTube video, Rina Nakanishi, a 22-year-old former member of the music group AKB48, has started a new career as adult film actress Rico Yamaguchi:

With the AKB48 model consisting of a few very idols at the top of the pyramid and legions of other team members at the bottom, it’s not surprising that at least a few of them will drift into this line of work after failing to advance as singers.

Is there any need to talk about this commercial low-quality sub-culture.
Entertainment for the proletariat… Meanwhile, bureaucracy is controlling the country.

Given the current state of the Japanese government, I don’t really see a difference between it and a video of a chimp riding a tricycle. But the chimp (or in this case, the singer) is cuter so wins out.

Why yes, there is a conspiracy between the Japanese government and the entertainment world to keep the sheeple placated.

/sarcasm

Shhhhhhhhhhh – informing the sheeple is counterproductive.

Korean

Wrong! It’s to appease WW2 Japan’s past victims.

Er…if entertainment is for the proletariat, and I’m a member of the proletariat, doesn’t that mean that entertainment is for me?

Plus, writing on the Internet is not based on “need”. If it were, the only sites out there would be “how to raise crops”, “how to cure diseases and injuries”, “how to make clothes that prevent death by freezing”, and “how to build shelter”.

hahaha lol. “Sutte” as she sings at the start literally means “blow” in Danish. Way to go

randomcommenter

It literally means “suck” in Japanese. Way to go.

I’m surprised that members of such Idol Groups dont have a clause in their contract that keeps them from engaging in such fields of work for at least some years after they quit…. anyways at least she gets to finally take off the school uniform

The AV publisher is probably owned by the same people who own the AKB publishing.

It would not at all surprise me since Disney owns – since 1989 – the largest percentage, as a partner, of the biggest company (Viewers Choice “Hot Choice”) in the soft-to-medium porn market.

randomcommenter

Nope. In fact, the AKB publisher tried to block the AV from coming out, but the courts found on the side of the AV publisher.

She’s not exactly a great looker is she

Holy Yaeba, Batman!

Pics or it did not happen !

What she does has no nudity.

She needs to have some dentistry done.

In all of her pre-AV photos (both AKB48 and also post-AKB48 softcore nude modeling), her teeth are actually very nice.

What’s happening is that they’ve made her wear a fake tooth in the AV, to try to add to the deniability of association between the idol group AKB48 and her work in the AV industry. But the fake tooth is just misdirection; if you pay attention to the rest of her teeth and gumlines, they match up with her pre-AV photos. This is (of course) in addition to name changes, a different birthdate and profile, and so on.

Tony D

Actually, I think it’s to make her appear ‘cuter’. Her first AV movie is themed on the idea that she’s a cute and young national idol (since even her age is faked to make her younger), so having the tooth makes he look younger and more innocent. She wears a school uniform (which hilariously has “48″ on it) to push the young-angle even further.

Tony D

Sorry, I forgot to mention that she hasn’t worn the fake tooth in any of her nude photos in magazines like Friday, so I’m sure it’s purely for the AV movie theme.

They put fake yaeba in her mouth. -> http://yfrog.com/7421266151j
Think this might be the workaround for the copyright issue.

yaeba is considered sexy in Japan … or so they say
Buster

I CERTAINLY wouldn’t stick my little Willy into THAT! (mouth)
Cabirus

She looks like a half-vampire.

It seems they also changed her birthdate.

According to wikipedia, Rina Nakanishi’s birthdate is 26/6/1988, while Rico Yamaguchi’s is 12/12/1990.

Who cares – Japanese porn is the lamest in the world.
Robin

So it’s not actual porn then? Just her dancing around in a bikini / underwear?
I don’t see the big deal.
Colin

In her defense though, I feel like you can pause a youtube video on anyone and they won’t be looking exactly great…
