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 ...
Top gravure idol Jun Amaki to retire this summer
April 2, 2026
/ Tadashi Anahori
She is now in her thirties and, despite being still one of the most famous gravure idols in Japan, it was inevitable that this day would come: Jun Amaki is to retire this summer.
Yes, it's sadly time to say sayonara to one of the cutest and bustiest of gradols in Japan.
She announced this a few days ago to accompany her appearance in the current issue of Weekly Playboy. There is also a tie-in digital photo book, appropriately called Retirement, now on release. The resulting storm of publicity Amaki's announcement has generated has helped send the book up the Kindle charts.
Amaki was at ...
Cocoro Toyoshima breaks the internet with X-ray of her chest

Ever wondered what a chest X-ray looks like if you have a G-cup bust?
Coroco Toyoshima gave us an intimate glimpse into her body -- literally inside her body. The leading gravure idol posted a picture of her chest X-ray on social media on January 23, which soon went viral. At the time of writing, it's been viewed a whopping 43.2 million times! That's a lot more than how many look at our X-rays whenever we have a medical checkup.
The apparently innocuous post was even reported in the mainstream media.
The X-ray shows the shape of the ribs on her small chest, with the huge mounds of her ...
We are very sad to report the death of gravure idol Aoi Fujino from cancer at the age of 27.
Fujino officially retired on New Year's Eve with a handwritten note posted to social media. "Given my current condition, I'm in no position to say that I am fine or OK, even if I had to lie," she admitted. "Everything is getting worse, and it feels like anything could happen at any time. I'm fighting a daily battle with my body, which is at its limit."
After a fight against parapharyngeal cancer for several years, she died on January 5, according to an announcement made by her family four days ...
Gravure idol Minami Awa forced to cancel meet-and-greet event after no fans come

Gravure idol and cosplayer Minami Awa had a somewhat sad end to December. She posted on social media on the evening of December 23 that she was forced to cancel her meet-and-greet event due to a lack of attendance. In a move that some might interpret as highly Japanese, the 29-year-old offered an "unprecedented apology" for the cancelation.
Known for her curvy body and dyed hair, Awa wrote: "Apology. The handshaking event scheduled for today has been canceled due to zero people in line."
She posted a shot of herself sitting alone with a sad expression at the event venue, which had been ...
New porn parodies gravure idol and professional mahjong player Sayaka Okada
November 28, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
A new porn release is based on leading gravure idol, YouTuber, and mahjong player Sayaka Okada.
As a gradol, it often helps to have a side line (e.g., as a race queen or ring girl) or a schtick to set you apart (like Sara Oshino, who is also a calligrapher).
In Okada's case, she's famous for being a professional mahjong player. In many ways, it makes sense, since Okada is half-Chinese and her interest in the game is perhaps the result of her upbringing partly in China. A graduate of the prestigious private college Aoyama Gakuin University, she's been modeling since 2011, in both fashion ...
Yumi Kureha takes her gravure idol career to next stage with nude shoot
October 23, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
The gravure idol Yumi Kureha has gone nude for the first time in an attempt to vamp up her career.
She's now 33, so she will have to hurry before she shifts into the full jukujo stage of her life.
That said, one of the unusual things about Kureha is that she didn't get her start in gravure in her late teens or early twenties, as is most common in the industry. Her first releases (image videos, digital photo books, etc.) were in 2021, when she was already in her late twenties.
We think she made her gravure debut a little earlier, in 2019, but she was still a bit older than many of her ...
Jun Amaki celebrates hitting 30 with nude photo book
October 20, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
The gravure veteran Jun Amaki has hit 30 and to celebrate, has released her sixth photo book.
Shot in the south of Taiwan, Amapochi came out via Shogakukan on October 16. The 112-page book is a tribute to her final twenties, featuring more than 10 costume changes.
Known for her fun-sized Asian body, Jun Amaki is short with a slim waist, curvy thighs, bouncy buttocks, and huge I-cup boobs. She is known for her love of saunas and hot springs, which she has cleverly turned into provocative promotional appearances.
She's done nude shoots before showing off her butt and side boob, though ...
Gravure model (and calligrapher) Sara Oshino makes comeback
September 25, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
We love to rediscovering idols and models we thought had disappeared into the mists of gravure legend. We were initially confused by the return of Sara Oshino, though, since she now writes her name with different characters (おしの沙羅 instead of the more conventional 忍野さら), and weren't sure if it was the same person. This is probably for contractual reasons with a change in agency but a new name also helps boost publicity.
In this case, it further reflects a new part of Sara's appeal -- that's she's now a calligraphy artist as well as a model -- hence the rather fancy given ...
Kanna Seto’s porn career goes full throttle with latest nude photo book
August 23, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Kanna Seto burst onto the Japanese adult video scene late last year and quickly made a huge impression with her girl-next-door face, pale skin, slim body, and huge breasts. It is a formidable combination and her debut attracted some of the biggest online attention we have seen in a long while.
Seto's career has gone from strength to strength, releasing 12 titles since then from S1 No. One Style and building a following both in Japan and in other parts of Asia.
The 21-year-old's first photo book came out from Shogakukan in January and she has at least three more AV titles scheduled ...
