Morning Musume 9th & 10th Gen Featured In New Wani Book Mobile Series

Wani Book Mobile is starting a new series featuring Morning Musume’s 9th and 10th gen.

From the announcement it will feature gravure content of the Kyuukies and Juukies and updates will be done every Tuesday.

When I read that it was gravure content I got a little worried. I’ve only seen the word once and the way it was used meant “sexy” to me and when I read that a gravure idol is someone who emphasizes their sexual appearance, I thought that the Kyuukies and Juukies aren’t ready for that yet.

I think all of them are cute and energetic so trying out a sexy image will probably be awkward since it doesn’t fit them at all. Though I did read that  gravure idols usually use bikinis and if the content is similar to Alo-Hello! Morning Musume 2011 Android App where they’re cute and look natural then I think that’d be great.

It’s great that they get more chances to promote themselves and since it will be updated weekly we can expect to see a lot from them. The announcement doesn’t specify how long this Wani Books Mobile series will last but I hope everyone will support the Kyuukies and Juukies and check it out.

The series will start 1/3.

    I think gravure is a general term for glamour modeling much like the Android Apps they released. I doubt they will overtly sexual but most likely playful and fun.

    I’m thinking that they’re using “gravure” in the general sense here. Basically any composed photo of an Idol can be called a gravure photo.

    Honestly I thought I misread the post because I was like “There’s no way that says gravure.” Idk about this, especially because they are sooooo young. Like if Tanaka, Gaki, Sayumi, and Aika did this, I wouldn’t be so “ehhhh” about it, but these are young girls. I guess we’ll just have to wait to see how the pics turn out.
