Sorry to jump back in time but regarding Shoko's dating video, I found it last year and can upload it. If someone could recommend a site I can easily upload it to I'll share it. (It's only interesting as "evidence", the quality is really bad) Regarding idols and dating, in Japanese it's called...

As mentioned, Shoko was a gravure idol who had some success. She appeared in magazines around the times her DVDs/books came out, and did promotional modelling work like when a big hollywood movie came out, she would stand next to the movie poster and be pretty. She was also an idol in a small...

The only activity I see there is that she is preparing to appear in a stage play during June. :(

Since this the unofficial thread, she re-emerged on Twitter on the 1st of May, signed to the talent agency Vithmic. They seem to specialise in models. She's shared old gravure pictures and Wani books has posted off-shots of her old work. She hasn't said what she's doing next but since she keeps...

I'm a fan of hers and I have no idea unfortunately. I've asked some JP fans but they don't know either. My personal speculation is that she had a falling out with her agency; she gave notice that she was quitting (so it wasn't a (public) scandal), but she didn't get a proper graduation either...

You're right, she did produce it herself. It was crowdfunded https://greenfunding.jp/lab/projects/1479 The other member of the group to do gravure is Horii Nina, she will release her DVD in November https://twitter.com/nina_horii/status/794902882583605248

On one hand, I'm really happy to see her again, on the other... it's not a "classy" video with a "respectable" company, which doesn't really speak highly of her situation. Hope she's doing ok.

She now goes by the name 高橋しょう子 (Takahashi Shoko), same "takasho" nickname though. https://twitter.com/TS_takasho Muteki debut DVD 1st May, hair nude PB 3rd June. (Isn't it normally the other way around....?) As a (former?) fan of her it's kind of weird and unsettling to see her super chipper...

Well it's been announced, she filmed a JAV with MUTEKI last month to be released soon. http://www.zakzak.co.jp/entertainment/ent-news/news/20160325/enn1603251537018-n1.htm

Oh god, how didn't I know about this. I was a fan of her a while ago and hadn't heard about it. I met her a couple of times and she was nice and pretty interesting (she plays the guitar for example), but I didn't get the impression she was very smart. I'm a bit sad to see she went so far to make...

Any chance of a seed of this? Added 2 months ago but still stuck at 26% :( Edit: got a ton of seeds on it, thanks a lot!!! You guys rule!

Next video is her and her sister :nosebleed: http://www.sodc.co.jp/detailes/star_323.php

Asuka Hoshino has never had ANYTHING to do with AKB48 AT ALL. The only reason they are being name dropped is for cheap hits because they're popular now... the article in question is written as if gravure idols have never turned to AV...
