After a brouhaha that erupted in the last days, including Young Magazine’s latest issue being shunted to the next week, the controversy over the Tomomi Kasai photo book continues.
Now Kodansha, who also publish Young Magazine, has announced that the photo book won’t be going on sale as planned on February 4th.
Presumably they will pulp the copies and re-print it without the problematic photo.
The provocative image featured Tomomi with her luscious bust bare, with the nipples cupped and covered from behind by a seemingly naked foreign infant.
Certainly people seemed pretty repulsed or weirded out by the image, both Japanese — but inevitably, perhaps especially foreigners.
Tomomi Kasai is just starting out on her post-AKB48 solo career. Not exactly the beginning she or Führer Akimoto could have hoped for!
