Mayumi Yamanaka has made a gravure comeback following marriage and motherhood.
Now aged 32 and the mother of two, Mayumi Yamanaka appears in the current issue of Weekly Playboy. The lingerie shoot also marks 20 years since her industry debut -- she began in 2005 as a junior idol and child actor.
She released her first print photo book soon after, and appeared in Weekly Playboy at the age of 14 (eww!), though hit her career peak in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
In late 2019, she announced she was married and pregnant, though continued to release image videos (her last came out in ...
In January, the Japanese porn star Yuki Takeuchi had announced that she would retire from the adult video industry at the end of this year, but she has now said that she will delay her retirement by a further year.
Many fans had hoped she would do this because she wanted to keep making JAV productions due to audience demand, and while that may be true in part, Takeuchi recently revealed the real reason behind the extra 12 months.
Takeuchi was the victim of a financial scam that saw her lose her savings, she shared on an episode of Abema's Hyena of Love 4 (the same show on which ...

Regular readers may remember Yuka Kosaka, the former gravure idol who went on to work as a nursery teacher in Chiba.
Kosaka had a turbulent career, hitting the big time in the mid-2000s but then scuppering her future in the industry by gaining a lot of weight. She made a nude comeback in the early 2010s before retiring and changing careers to running her own nursery school (though she does not have children herself).
She makes occasional TV appearances these days. The 40-year-old former gradol is now married (to a former actor several years her junior) and runs a consultancy ...
Is there something in the air? Is it something about the glitz and glisten of summer?
We just shared the joyful news that slinky goddess Yuka Ogura has made a triumphant gravure comeback after an absence of about five years.
And now comes the tidings that Riho Takada has also returned to the fray.
Now aged 30, Takada has been focusing on her acting in recent years, including roles in tokusatsu series. In terms of comebacks, she has previous, making a glorious mini comeback in 2022 after many years away from gravure with a semi-nude photo book that showed off her athletic body.
She ...
More details are emerging about the prostitution ring that preyed on young women in Osaka.
As reported widely last month, police arrested Yusuke Kimura (34) and Koki Hideshima (24) for recruiting teenaged girls, violating the Anti-Prostitution Law and Child Welfare Law.
The girls were recruited from the Gurishita area of downtown Osaka (a district known as Minami). Gurishita is the spot near the Dotombori canal under the famous Glico Man billboard. It has become a notorious gathering place for underage delinquents and runaways, and a hotbed of prostitution and crime. Commentators have ...
Way back in 2019, in those pre-pandemic halcyon days, we lamented the departure of Yuka Ogura from gravure magazines. With the release of a hugely successful nude photo book, she announced she would no longer do swimsuit cover shoots for gravure magazines.
Well, now she's back -- older, wiser, and just as sexy.
The iyashi-kei "healing" idols with the gentle smile and girl-next-door looks has triumphantly returned to the world of gravure magazines for the first time in about five years with a cover shoot for the current issue of Kodansha's Young Magazine, which went on sale on Monday.
The ...
Have you ever wanted to date a gravure idol? Of course, how hasn't?! But how would that actually be possible?
Well, the easiest way is to be either rich or famous, it seems.
And how do such guys hook up with gravure models? Fellow celebrities presumably meet a lot at various kinds of events or through work gigs. But for others, it may not differ so much from us mere mortals: dating apps.
Sena Natsuki recently revealed in an interview on a TV Tokyo show that she is on the hunt for a new boyfriend and she is using a dating app specifically for celebrities.
"There's like a special access ...
The Osaka expo has proved controversial for a number of reasons, not least the huge budget overruns, the infestation of bugs, the unfinished pavilions, and the overpriced food.
But what about panchira (panties flash)? The latest issue involves a young Japanese woman who has posed for photos deliberately showing off her panties, and then posted those pics on social media for likes and views.
She certainly succeeded in getting a lot of attention.
The OL-themed cosplayer yuu_OLdays posed against the expo's famous wooden ring structure (the largest wooden structure in the world), wearing expo ...
Ahn So-hee is a former Korean singer who used to perform with the girl group Wonder Girls from 2007 to 2013. As an actress, her biggest credit to date is probably a role in the horror movie Train to Busan in 2016.
We discovered that Ahn So-hee may have also done nude sex scenes in low-budget erotic movies. Or did she?
This is complicated because the actress gets credited under different names, which include Ahn So-hee and Hanna, suggesting they are not the same person as the singer. (But do they kind of look alike? Or is this just wishful thinking on our part?)
At any rate, this ...
