Former HKT48 idol Miku Tanaka is trying to build an acting career and has cleverly chosen to do so with a role that gets hot and steamy.
In the TV drama Cinderella Complex, which started airing in Japan from March 1, she has a sex scene with her lover in bed.
Don’t get too excited if Mikurin is a favorite of yours: this being a drama on mainstream Japanese TV, there’s no actual nudity.
She and her slightly older lover have sex under the sheets, with her nipples and side boob just hidden by his arm. It’s quite a tease.
Miku Tanaka was a member of HKT48, the Fukuoka-based sister group of AKB48, from 2013 until 2023. She has released one solo photo book to date.
Still aged just 22, she has appeared in several TV dramas since graduating, building on the fledgling roles she took while still a member of the music group.
In Cinderella Complex, which is broadcast late at night on MBS, she plays the main role. The show is about a popular married high school teacher who has an affair with his female high school student. In other words, the fantasy of most guys in Japan.
Considering how willing she is to doing scenes like this already at her age and so early in her post-idol, perhaps Miku will go nude in a few years’ time if the right role comes along. After all, it took her a while, but AKB48 alum Yuka Masuda did and the wait was definitely it.
