Sayu stars in a Mister Donut CM
 
I know it's just a cm, but her's are a lot more fitting (and flattering) than what Takahashi, Reina or other OGs are doing.

[MejraThea]

That's not a bad CM at all, I'm kind of impressed.

Fukada Kanon has resurfaced. She joined Oomori Seiko’s group, ZOC. Her stage name is now Maro Kannagi.


Check her out in their latest MV for SHINEMAGIC.

[DonJuan]

Oh wow, that certainly explains why she left Up Front. Cool.

[JPope]

This is Seiko Oomori's group, so I imagine it will offer Kanon an opportunity to hone her songwriting skills in a more adult themed idol group. They are a bit edgy, lol.

YESSS ZOC is so good I can’t wait to watch this later.

There is a lot going on in this song.

[momoirosaya]

Somehow this feels like a downgrade...

They song isn’t very good and they seem like underground idols... sorry to any fans.

It’s definitely a downgrade compared to the groups she was in when she was in them, but it’s still nice to see her again. She’s done so little since graduating.


Apparently they’re on the same label that Up Up Girls are.

Here's Sayu playing Splatoon and Tetris for 3 hours yesterday.

I only know him for the Minimoni song but that's still so sad! Just waking up to all the sad news today...

[momoirosaya]

Duu is the lead in a movie “Kotera-san”, and a longer trailer came out. It’s about Rock Climbing.

^That actually looks kinda interesting. It's nice to see Duu actually doing interesting shows.
 
Hirose Ayaka continues being a good bean and posting covers, partially done acapella. https://www.instagram.com/hirose_ayaka_84/

Due to Corona, Up-Front won't produce tiny tiny and Upcoming episodes in the near future. https://twitter.com/hipnewsservice/status/1250370433192472576
Already recorded parts of both shows, or corners that fit into the current health measures, will be featured in a combined show on H!S's original timeslot.

Maki Goto has a gaming youtube channel now.
 
Looks like it'll mostly be Monster Hunter, but she's always been a fiend for that game.

[DonJuan]

Fukuda Asuka will release her first photobook, PASSIONABLE, on June 19. https://twitter.com/hipnewsservice/status/1253163885420515328
https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202004220000630.html
 
The article mentions it's "hair nude". I was under the assumption that this would mean something like covering nipples with your hair, like what Goto Maki did in her "Go to natura" photobook. But apparently it means... pubic hair?

[Anderei]

I think it means it’ll she’ll be nude but you won’t be able to see her vulva or anything like that. Just pubic hair.

[DonJuan]

Oh, I see.
I kind of hoped for a "normal" photobook or Gomaki's "go to natura" style, as mentioned before. I know there's artistic nudes and stuff, but this seems more like a "I need the money and my solo career needs a push" kind of move.

[Anderei]

Maybe but I don’t know how much of a career push it’ll be. The attention it’ll get will be pretty quick and fleeting.

[DonJuan]

I agree. It's also not like she was that popular, she left the group before their big break. Goto or Kago doing a "hair nude" photobook would get much more publicity.
But well, she's got a kid to feed and all.

[Zoe]

Now she'll forever have the title of the first MoMusu to do hair nudes.

[yuzuriha]

I remember there was a big rumor Kago was going to do hair nudes back in the day.  
 
Anyway here's a little background info on hair nudes.

I’m sure it goes without saying but this is NSFW if anyone is actually still at work lol.


The sheer number of links in this article to other articles containing even more nude photos is a type of dedication I don’t know I’ll ever comprehend.

[yuzuriha]

Oh yeah sorry I forgot NSFW was even a thing in these weird times.

Oh my gosh she looks soooo pretty though!
 
The hair nude sometimes weirdly, seems less sexual than some of the bikini photobooks, like the vibe to a lot of them is way more relaxed and the girl doesn't seem to be forcing this erotica feeling into the photos.

Sayashi Riho is now on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riho_sayashi_insta/
 
Seems to be real, Mizuki and Aichan follow her.

[WonderBuono]

Aw and she’s practicing her English
