Are you ready to enter SDN48’s “Red Zone” in the Weekly Playboy?

SDN48, the mature sister group of AKB48 is back with another pictorial featuring some semi nude shots for Weekly Playboy.

At the end of last year, during the promotion cycle of their first single, the girls already gave us quite the eye candy with a sexy nude pictorial for the popular weekly idol and gravure magazine. This time we only have eight members appealing to the readers of the magazine, but unlike the last pictorial it’s a mixed group from both the first and second promotion cycle. Furthermore, it’s not a complete nude pictorial either, but that single picture should still be enough to cause some heavy blood loss. Of course the other pictures are quite sexy as well and that red zone seems to be one heck of an amazing place.

Whether you still dislike or are already used to SDN48’s degree of exposure, we would like to hear your opinion about this pictorial in the comments.

Check out the pictures below!

  • Ohno

    I don’t mind these photos as long as they are comfortable doing this. The 3rd photo looks best to me <3

  • Jankster

  • NJ982

  • Anonymous

    They are about as sexy as a box of cornflakes. :/

  • eyeless

    Ahh .. I’m not a fan of this one, something just not right and no Mamitan =/

    Their previous Weekly Playboy photoshoot is a lot better

    Uh, why did you take the time to look at this article, look at the pictures, and comment if it’s such “horror”? You know that cool thing that people invented, when you scroll past things you don’t want to see?
    Seriously. They’re showing skin. Apparently skin is terrifying. Not like you can see their nipples or vaginas.

    What horror? Their figures are not the best out there, but they’re certainly not that bad either.

  • Bluebird

    I hope they are comfortable doing this…well I’m pretty sure that they all knew that they had to do it before they joined SDN48

    O.o
    omyg~

  • blackdevil2722

    Lol I really don’t see what’s the big hoo-ha over this. This photoshoot is for Weekly Playboy, which does kinda mean sexy semi-naked girls? And besides, this is SDN48 we’re talking about. They stand for SaturDay Night 48 (for those who don’t already know), in which all girls are above 18 y/o and whose live shows only permit those who are 18 and above as well. Definitely more in favour of their last photoshoot but didn’t think this one was that bad either.

    yeah…the girl in the middle pose is so awkward……………………………………………………………

    But isn’t that what they signed up to do? They’re suppose to be the more “mature” 48 (even though I don’t think “mature” means looking stereotypically skimpy and doing that kinda sex gravure appeal) but I thought that was their gimmick? They should only be fed up if they didn’t know they would do stuff like this… if they fully knew and still continue on, well… that means they don’t mind

    Like you said “mature” isn’t, for me too, this kind of thing! But even if they agreed with that, it doesn’t mean they can’t be fed up ! Probably they don’t mind or they need money ! and we know sex sells well lol
    I don’t judge them, it’s their life ! That was just my opinion!

    For those of you who say “Ewieee so disgusting”.
    You should know by now that SDN48 is a mature group.
    In Japan, this is the definition of mature, if you have also read mature manga you should know.
    From looking at the title, you should know what this is about, so why do you even click?

    We do know by now that many artists have this going on behind the scene, and this is nothing compared to that. “They’re idols!” Well many idols behind the scene have sex to raise their status in the entertainment world. I’m quite sure theres at least 1 person in the whole entertainment world that did that.
    I don’t think many of us get the point. This is their theme. Mature and sexy idols – SaturDay Night Live
    Just because you’re an idol does not mean that you can’t do this kind of things.

    And its not like they’re 100% exposed to the public, really.

    They are idols .. Akihabara style idols, unless you don’t have a clue what Akihabara area are. If AKB can go with their style of gravure, then this is what you can expect from the mature sisters of them. Even their stage performances are age restricted for 18+ from the start and so does the Weekly Playboy magazine.

    If you don’t like idols doing gravure, try SKE or H!P, this article wasn’t made for you.

  • eyeless

    Most of the SDN’s members are gravure idols, models or AKB transfered with some singers. They’ve been doing gravure since around 18, so I don’t think there are any problem.

    I don’t get this culture shock since I believe most of the readers are into J-Pop, gravure is nothing scandalous in Japan, even Ayumi Hamasaki used to be a gravure idol before she got famous

    ironically, if this was a boy group, you’d be seeing a lot of drooling. wonder why girls can’t do the same without people referring to it as porn (though I’m not into the sort of thing SDN48 does, it’s their thing and I don’t like being hypocritical)

  • Limebrus

    I don’t see any problem with this, not at all. This is nothing compared to some of the stuff that is in USA (and other places). And they’ve even stated themselves for being mature idols. Plus, you don’t see anything more than you would see a day at the beach.

  • Limebrus

    I hate double standard. It’s fine if people don’t like it, but as you said, don’t be hypocritical.

    Oh god, it’s so ridicules how some people see this as a problem. Their a mature group! Get over it! Don’t like, don’t watch/read/comment or whatever.

    Anyways, I think they are beautiful! <3

  • NJ982

    It’s not a culture shock, I never said that!! I’m into Jpop for many years now ! So I knew and saw this kind of things ! I was just saying that doing this all the time isn’t my taste ! I didn’t say it was bad !

  • Akiba4tN8

    Haters need to jump into a time machine and head back home, ‘cuz they seem to be stuck in the early 20th Century…. and, uh, hate to burst ur bubble but sexuality existed even then. So jump back further to the dawn of humanity. OOPS, it was there too, the horror!

  • MinahMyu

    There really aren’t many bad comments on this (probably like 3-4 “ewwy” comments)… And I think it’s interesting in these kinda articles really for guys, you don’t see any males saying “Omg so effin hot!!!!! I wanna hit that!!!” but that Shirota Yu article girls had the most inappropriate, perverted things to say that sounded much worse than how this photoshoot looked. “Omg I wanna take him home and rape him!” (that’s a pretty effed up thing to say anyways because it’s not a joke to talk about rape so lightly) “Omg I can’t stop looking down… there! I wanna see more!” The double standard thing is annoying…

  • imp

    Whoooaaaa… NOSEBLEED!!!…
    And those who say eeew…well haters…
    so..

    HATERS GO TO HELL, AND FREEZE OVER THERE!
    And let the rest who knows how to appreciate this Celebrate…
    though I know there will be lots of blood loss…(Severe Nosebleed)…

  • Ohno

    I guess the ‘ew’ comments are those who have never seen a girl wear lingerie (or worn them).

    HAHAHA! Too true. Girls can be just as scary with what they say.
