So recently a new idol group has popped up: "Dogenzaka69" (道玄坂69). I know, idol groups are a dime a dozen in Japan, but what makes them special is that all the members are working fuzoku ladies. Their tagline is "Idols you can sleep with tomorrow" (明日抱けるアイドル). The group was formed on Japanese comedian Tamura Atsushi's TV show 田村淳の地上波ではダメ！絶対！, in collaboration with SOD's fuzoku info site kaku-butsu. They even had a former AKB48 member help out during the televised audition process.
Most of the members work at foreigner friendly shops, one has even been reviewed here on TAG (RUI). So if someone has "go to an idol's concert and sleep with her afterwards" on their bucket list then now they know where to go get that crossed off. They are planning to hold their first concert sometime in August.
They held a live broadcast on twitter (link) yesterday, so you can see what they look like before the magic of photoshop. The current members are, from left to right in the broadcast (RUI was absent):
Hina (WelcomeCafe)
Yuzu Narumi (Pianissimo)
Uta Ayane (Ultra Platinum)
LIZ (GINGIRA☆TOKYO)
Ichigo (Robot Deriheru)
RUI (GINGIRA☆TOKYO)
Honestly I'm surprised it hasn't been done before. Idol groups are hugely popular in Japan, and there's certainly no shortage of people who are willing to dump money to get just a little closer to their favorite members. Many active AV actresses have been in idol groups for quite a while now, and regular idol groups has always had rumors here and there of them sleeping with fans/VIPs, so why not just make an idol group that you can openly pay to get a very private "after-concert party" with?
It also looks like the media exposure the group is getting has been great for them, netting them some extra customers already. Yuzu in particular has been bumped up into the "call us for the price" rank in her shop, and is working a shift at SOD's Syain Bar (a girl's bar where some SOD AV actresses work at from time to time) next week. Guess this might be a stepping stone for some to getting an AV debut.
