SDN48 was the short-lived “sexy” version of AKB48. Although the smaller sister group had its fans, it ultimately only lasted three years perhaps because, with so many regular Gravure idols out there, it didn’t seem to have a point.
The popularity of AKB48 et al with a certain demographic rests on how they are “innocently” sexy and not so overt, making SDN48 just seem like a cheap Gravure group.
SDN48′s members have gone on to have varied careers but their initial entry into a more overtly sexy idol group at least prepared some for future naked photo shoots. Machiko Tezuka, for example, had no qualms about showing us everything she has!
Now Serina (芹那), probably SDN48 most popular girl, has joined her ranks in going nude. Well, almost.
Already known for her bust-hiding shoots and slinky form, now Serina has now gone a step further, revealing a lot more flesh… including a very cute butt. Not far off 30, Serina is perhaps getting desperate to squeeze out as much from her idol career as she can before the cruel entertainment world casts her aside. (On another note, we are curious as to why certain idols are only known by a single name.)
