Recently graduated from Nogizaka46, Asuka Saito has released a new photo book and it’s making a splash.
Saito, who is half-Myanmarese and half-Japanese, was a first-generation member of Nogizaka46. The 24-year-old graduated the idol group earlier this month.
She was one of the most popular members of the group, having performed with them for over 11 years, and is hoping to use her departure (and the buzz surrounding her graduation concert last week) to launch a solo career.
This week, the first images from her new photo book, Museum, were released. They are semi-nude, with the slinky Saito posing in Calvin Klein underwear or naked with her alluringly nude back on display.
The book hit the shelves yesterday, published by Kodansha. Saito’s previous photo book in 2017 was a bestseller.
Unfortunately, only somewhat grainy scans seem available online at the moment.
Even so, the shot of her sitting in nothing but a pair of jeans, nothing on from the waist up and apparently no panties on under her jeans, is pure ambrosia.
This is a somewhat more mature look for her and we hope she continues in this vein.
