When you think of Japan, besides iconic things like cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji, and diverse cuisine, one of the most talked-about features is definitely the abundance of beautiful women. It’s no coincidence that alongside famous girl groups like AKB48 and Nogizaka46, Japan also boasts the world’s largest AV industry. The number of gorgeous female photo models is countless. Still, some names really stand out, like Ikuta Erika, who just set an unprecedented record.


With a delicate face and a sexy D-cup figure, Ikuta Erika is also loved for her many talents. She’s been studying music since childhood and was a star performer even in elementary school. Later, she became a familiar member of Nogizaka46. Even after entering Japan’s photo modeling industry, Ikuta achieved remarkable success. Her debut photo album in 2016 hit number one at the time, while her second album, released last year, shattered sales records, becoming the highest-selling photo book in the 110-year history of publisher K45dansha. This milestone probably makes even professional models jealous.


In fact, Ikuta Erika’s photo book was so popular that the publisher had to reprint it just one month after its release. What really caught attention in the book was the idol’s bold choice to showcase many sexy lingerie shots.


This is a rare time that the 1997-born hot girl has shown this much skin. It’s no surprise that Ikuta has become a highly searched keyword on online forums. Her message through these photo books is simple: she wants to present a more mature and feminine image.
