The veteran gravure idol Ayana Nishinaga is to retire from the industry after an 18-year career that began at the age of 12.
She released her fiftieth DVD in 2025, appropriately titled Bye-bye!, and appears in the current issue of Weekly Playboy, which has released a digital photo book called The Last to accompany her final shoot, suggestively featuring the model in a wedding dress.
The 30-year-old from Okayama describes in her interview in the magazine how she hopes to get married in her early thirties and start a family.
The magazine shoot features Nishinaga enjoying a "bath" with her ...

The tabloid weekly Friday has published a story about a pregnant woman in Japan who did papakatsu sugar dating, earning around ¥8 million in 10 months.
Eriko (a pseudonym) explained to the magazine that she and her older husband dated for 10 years and have been married now for seven. Now at age 36, she is finally pregnant with their first child.
"I work as an office lady, but I've actually been doing sugar dating [compensated dating with a sugar daddy] since before I got pregnant. The regular allowances I received were the main source of my income. So, while I was happy to be pregnant, I ...
FutaDoll Futanari Wedding Tsukasa Futatama is the perfect VTuber hermaphrodite fetish toy

One of the viral stories on social media in Japan this week was the announcement by the YouTuber fukurena that her husband, fellow YouTuber Guard Man, had cheated on her with a shemale prostitute while she is pregnant with their child.
Everyone wants to fuck guys with tits. Or is it chicks with dicks?
It all gets a bit confusing, especially when you start exploring the world of futanari fetish in Japan.
This is very much the latter: female characters who are born as women but happen to have penises in addition to the usual female features and personalities. It's a fantasy that unfolds ...
Mariya Nagao and Yume Hayashi joint lingerie shoot is our kind of reality TV

Two of our favorite ladies in gravure, together in one shoot.
Former AKB48 idol Mariya Nagao and model Yume Hayashi recently appeared together in an alluring lingerie shoot, which appeared in Friday just before Golden Week.
Such shoots with two gradols invariably have a lesbian undertone, even (or perhaps especially) when it's two sisters.
The 32-year-old Mariyagi has done these kinds of "joint" shoots before with her friend, Jun Amaki, who is set to retire from gravure this summer, sparking a million male fantasies of a threesome with them. Mariyagi also photographed one of ...
Interview with porn star and novelist Mana Sakura

/ Tadashi Anahori
Joshi Spa! recently interviewed the adult video performer Mana Sakura as she reaches a milestone.
In addition to being a porn star, Mana Sakura is a novelist, most famously writing stories based in her experiences in the industry. Her latest novel, Child Substitute, came out in February and is about pregnancy and childbirth. It marks a decade since her literary debut.
Though her porn output has heavily decreased (even if she does have a new SOD Star release out later this month), the 33-year-old Sakura has not officially retired, and has now been a firm part of the industry for an ...
If a certain President of the United States once boasted of having binders of women, then Hideto Sakai has -- naked pyramids of them?
One of the viral trends on Japanese social media since the start of May has been a video and images of a "human champagne tower" that Sakai supposedly ordered. The Minato ward businessman asked the female staff at an exclusive bar in Roppongi to strip naked and form a tower, onto which he poured champagne.
It is a kind of twisted version of the super-expensive drink you can order at a host or hostess club. In the video, six naked young women -- wearing masks ...
The Devil wears . . . not much at all?
Ayaka Miyoshi turned up for the Japanese premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 wearing a revealing something.
The 29-year-old was dressed in a kind of suit with a black jacket, white shirt, and black tie, except that the shirt only came halfway down, with the result that she left much of her under-boob on show for all the world to see.
Miyoshi is not the bustiest of ladies, so the resulting bulge was quite modest, but there was no mistaking what was visible under the shirt. She seems to be channeling more Marlene Dietrich than Andy Sachs or Miranda ...
Japanese underground idol sparks overseas shock over armpit-sniffing fan service
May 1, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
Foreign news outlets are going wild with disgust over an underground idol's fan service in which she lets men sniff her armpits.
Hari Matsumoto, formerly a member of Miracle for Z, offers a service in which her male fans can get up close and personal with her armpits, instead of the usual handshaking fan service at events.
Outlets like the South China Morning Post, the Times of India, and Vice have published somewhat sensational and clickbaity articles claiming that the idol has sparked "outrage" in some corners.
And now, as often the case, things have come full circle, with ...
Busty 1990s star Kaori Ohara returns at age 50

/ Tadashi Anahori
We do love the gravure comeback. Sure, it's sometimes just a marketing gimmick, a manufactured framing of a return in order to generate headlines. Other times, a comeback genuinely raises a nostalgic smile as we remember when the idol (and we) were younger, and marvel at how good they still are.
Recently, comebacks have been popular, with top stars from the 2000s returning to gravure for an anniversary or career boost: Nozomi Sasaki, Megumi Kagurazaka, Erika Sawajiri, and Atsuko Maeda.
But most of these ladies are still in their forties or even late thirties. What about those stunners from ...
Nozomi Sasaki returns with 20th anniversary anniversary calendar
April 28, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
Nozomi Sasaki is celebrating 20 years in the industry with a new calendar out on June 9.
The Akita native was a favorite of the late 2000s. She made her debut in 2006 and established herself in gravure as well as acting roles. With her pure-looking face and waif-like body, she was one of the most eligible women in entertainment, and ultimately married comedian Ken Watabe in 2017. They have two kids together, though their marriage was rocked by scandal when Watabe's affair hit the headlines with lots of salacious detail about toilet sex in Roppongi. The scandal even inspired its own adult ...
