You read that right. Just when you thought Japan couldn�t come out with more idol groups with a lot of members and odd names, here comes another one.

A new all-male idol group called Naked Boyz has been dubbed Japan�s largest ikemen (handsome male) group. They self-described �male AKB48� have a home at Live Hall Face in Shinjuku. The members range from 16 to 30 years old and will be a part of 24-Hour TV and NTV�s live annual charity marathon on 8/28.

The members are:

Asuma (22), Seiya Ishige (22), Kouta Ichimiya (25), Jaehoon Imu (25), Kouji Iwasaki (25), Takayasu Ooya (18), Motoki Ochiai (20), Shoutarou Kaneko (16), Tastsuya Kishida (18), Yuuki Kimura (21), Tim Kurokawa (20), Jun Satou (27), Kazuki Shimizu (20), Daiki Shimizu (19), Housei Shiramizu (18), Yuuta Takahashi (26), Ryouji Takematsu (24), Kenshi Takemoto (30), Tsuyoshi Tanoi (20), Naoki Tanoue (23), Kenta Tsukada (20), Yuuto Tsujimoto (18), Kei Nakazawa (25), Hiroaki Nakahara, Yasushi Ninomiya (30), Panzu Yuuki (17), Hayato (28), Yuuki Fukumoto (20), Seiji Fukuyama (19), Daigo Fujisawa (30), Yuuki Matsuoka (22), Jun Mikami, Masaya Mimura (21), Yuuki Murakami (20), Ryo Motoki (16), Win Morisaki (20), Teruya Mori (17), Kouichi Yoshino (16), Shuuto Yoshihara (24), and Keita Yonamine (27).

Try to remember all of that.

That is only forty of the forty four members, as their official website has 44 pictured but only 40 profiles. It seems that this group is a tad multi-cultural as well, as they have Korean, Burmese and hapa (half) members.

Some of the members of the group are already known actors, and have appeared on screen and on stage. They will hold their first live performance in November.

You may recognize some of the members: Motoki Ochiai (Last Quarter, Gantz, Gokusen the Movie 2), Tatsuya Kishida (Samurai High School), Kazuki Shimizu (Gokusen the Movie), Yuuta Takahashi (Hana Zakari no Kimitachi e : Ikemen Paradise), Kenshi Takemoto (20th Century Boys), Yuuto Tsujimoto (Inazuma Eleven), Hiroyuki Nakahara (Basara, Itazura na Kiss), Daigo Fujisawa (Golden Boy), Yuuki Matsuoka (Moyashimon, live-action Perfect Blue, The Prince of Tennis), Yuuki Murakami (Samurai High School), Win Morisaki (Gokusen Sotsugyou Special '09), Kouichi Yoshino (La Corda D'Oro Stella Musical), Shuuto Yoshihara (La Corda D'Oro Stella Musical), and Keita Yonamine (Boys Be...).
