The gravure idol Jun Amaki has announced her marriage to keirin track cyclist Yuki Sasaki.
On August 23, Jun posted a statement with a picture of her and Sasaki in which she wears a wedding dress, posing next to the groom and his bike at a track.
"I am deeply grateful to have reached this important milestone, thanks to the people I have worked with, the fans who have always supported me, and everyone else who has stood by me. I want us to be a happy couple who can still hold hands even when we’re old and gray. While supporting him from right by his side, I will continue to walk my path ...
The gravure model Momiji Kuribara will release her first nude photo book, Land of the Beautiful Butt, on September 30.
The book is published by Takeshobo, like her recently released fifth image DVD, and Kuribara sat down with Weekly Playboy for an interview featured in the August 10 issue.
The 29-year-old Saitama native has only published digital photo books to date, so her upcoming release marks another milestone in her career.
"I was nervous before the shoot started because it was my first time doing nude work, and the outfits were unlike anything I'd ever worn for glamour shoots ...
Regular readers will remember the cautionary tale of gravure idol Miyu Murashima, who was forced to apologize and put her burgeoning career on ice in mid-2024 after her affair with a married basketball player came to light.
She was effectively sacked by her agency and announced later in 2024 she would no longer do gravure, instead focusing on producing her own content on YouTube and TikTok.
The basketball player with whom she had an affair seemed to suffer no professional consequences.
Over two years on from the scandal, what is Murashima doing?
Now 27 years old, the former idol announced ...
The second photo book by Cocona Umeyama came out earlier this month and has already set the interwebs on fire in just a few days.
As reported here in July, the ex-NMB48 idol's second publication is a nude release.
Umeyama is a former member of the Osaka-based girl group NMB48 (from 20216 to 2022) as well as of spin-off music group Lapis Arch.
She is clearly trying to establish a name for herself in the competitive world of music idols seeking to build a career after leaving the safety net of their group by taking a more provocative approach in COCOIRO, which features her taking off her ...
We are excited to share more images from the comeback of former top gravure star Kumiko Takeda.
The photo book is 57-year-old Takeda's first in 23 years and the title and cover remain unannounced. It is released on September 9, about a month after Takeda turns a ripe 58 years of age.
A taste of what was to come previously appeared in Weekly Friday, when Takeda did a cover shoot in late June.
Some further images are now available, showing the legendary model in the bath, and letting us revel in her athletic, ageless body. She is lying naked in a bath or on a bed while wearing red lingerie ...
The TV announcer Tomoka Takenaka dazzled the world when she burst on the gravure scene at the age of 43 last year, showing off her mature, curvy, and fun body.
The former NHK presenter and Hiroshima native has now followed up with two new photo books that revel in her glamorous yet down-to-earth figure, which has some extra pounds and plenty of sexy love handles -- not to mention a big, welcoming smile and H-cup breasts.
Like last November's offering, the photo books are published by gravure magazine Weekly Playboy, which also released a further three in between. That's quite a ...
Nanoka is back.
After a two-year break, the gorgeous gravure idol has returned with a photo shoot for Weekly Playboy, published in the July 13 issue. The magazine is calling it a "miracle comeback."
The busty model is now 37 years old -- she debuted way back in 2011 -- and very much in the sexy jukujo, hot mom years, but indeed she did announce her marriage and first child in December 2024. That seemed like a de facto retirement announcement, since she had already released what was promoted as her final photo book in June that year.
Nonetheless, some of us held out hope and it seems she ...
Mariko Sata is a former porn star who made her adult video debut in 2020 when she was already 39 years old, after some time working in a soapland and hair salon in Fukuoka (and also apparently as a past life therapist). She had a successful career as a jukujo JAV performer, but retired in March 2025.
Today aged 44 (though conflicting information on her age is available), Sata is also a single mom who raised a daughter by herself. This is fascinating in and of itself, since raising a child as a porn star must throw up some, well, unique challenges. But Sata launched her own idol management ...
Gravure idol and actress Rina Koike continues to demonstrate her ageless beauty even as she continues to march into her thirties.
She has just done a cover shoot for the July 7 issue of Flash, showing off her alluring cure of her back and her subtle buttocks. The lingerie and swimwear shoot, which has a wet bathhouse theme (perfect as the rainy season gives way to the heat of summer), is accompanied by a digital photo book.
Now 32 and turning 33 in September, Koike still has essentially the same girl-next-door sensuality and innocent looks from much earlier in the 20+ years of her ...
The Japanese porn star Riko Hoshino has announced her return to work after undergoing treatment for an adjustment disorder.
"I will resume my activities in mid-August and strive to meet everyone's expectations in the best possible way, while approaching each and every job with a sincere heart," she wrote in a statement released on social media.
In mid-June, we shared the news that the 27-year-old had been diagnosed with an adjustment disorder and was undergoing treatment.
Her mental health struggles were affecting her ability to promote her fifth print photo book, with events at bookstores ...
