Gravure Idol Asuka Hoshino debut in AV industry

Gravure idol Asuka Hoshino (23) is making her entry into the adult entertainment industry, starting with a hair-nude photobook that goes on sale next week. It will be followed by her first AV release in November.

Hoshino launched her career in 2004 when she was chosen as Miss Weekly Shonen Magazine in the annual Miss Magazine competition. After several image DVDs and two photobooks, her career went on hold in 2006. She finally resumed work last year, with a slight change in the way her name is written.

Like former AKB48 member Rina Nakanishi (22), Hoshino revealed her move into AV with a nude photo spread in FRIDAY, preceding the release of a nude photobook. Hoshino's 80-page book, "Asuka no Jikan," will be released on September 24. She will then put out her first adult DVD on November 4 under the SOD Create label. After that, she is expected to release new works at a pace of one a month.
