One of Tokyo Kinky's all-time favs, Kyoko Fukada, is to release her first photo book in five years.
Aging like a fine wine or whisky, Fukakyon has overcome some recent mental health issues and a brief career hiatus, and the as-yet-untitled photo book is sure to restore her status as Japan's most desirable unmarried woman.
Now aged 42, her beach body remains svelte and exuberant, and those breasts look as ripe and succulent as ever.
As an actor, her career has mainly focused on TV roles but she also appears in occasional films.

/ Tadashi Anahori
The 40-year-old gravure idol Miri Hanai held a launch event for her latest photo book, the aptly titled Legendary, in Tokyo yesterday.
Released by major publisher Kodansha, Legendary is her first print photo book in about two decades, though she has continued to release digital books.
In 2023, we wrote about Hanai and her incredible 20-year career in gravure. We don't know what magic or dark arts she uses, but she still looks at busty and svelte as ever.
Fans will certainly be pleased with Legendary, which showcases the jukujo's charms and assets in swimsuits, lingerie, and nude. ...

May 29, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Given the huge volume of porn produced in Japan and, thus, the large number of women involved, it is inevitably that many of the performers will have families after they retire from the industry. The question of former or current adult video stars raising families is one that occasionally appears in the media, often with a degree of sympathy (for the abuse they can suffer online) and curiosity.
Spa! recently featured an interview with AiRis, an up-and-coming gravure idol and singer who is also the daughter of 46-year-old former porn star Mariko Sata.
Single mom Sata was active in the ...
44-year-old Asami Kumakiri still looks mighty fine
May 1, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Back in 2020, amidst the fug of the pandemic, we gleefully reported on the gravure comeback of Asami Kumakiri. The mature hottie was then a ripe 40 and posed for a nude shoot that showed off her slender, sexy figure. She has since released several digital photo books.
Well, Asami is now 44 and still going strong.
She just did her first shoot for gravure magazine Flash in 13 years, generating headlines in the media. She is shown covering her naked breasts with her hands, her body covered by white pearls. The issue even comes with a DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the ...
Ageless, athletic Yoko Kumada releases 77th DVD
April 25, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Most careers in entertainment are all too short and many stutter and fade before they even really get going. That is true perhaps especially of gravure, an industry obsessed with the next idol, the latest body, the newest boobs.
But some women are an exception, like Yoko Kumada, whose gravure career has continued even as she has got older, had a family, and suffered a scandal (domestic violence) -- or perhaps, it's precisely because of this. Kumada is a lady with experience and who knows how to handle herself, a very attractive quality for a woman.
The 42-year-old divorcee and ...

March 18, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Rui Sakuragi was one of the biggest adult video stars in Japan in the first half of the 1990s. She made her debut in 1989 and then left the industry in 1996 at the peak of her popularity.
In her subsequent career, she was a stripper until the year 2000, and did some acting on TV during those years.

That silence ended recently.
So what is the now 56-year-old Rui Sakuragi doing today? She's working as a hostess at a club in Ginza run by another top ex-porn star, Hitomi ...
44-year-old Mariko Seyama takes trip to hot spring in new photo book
February 6, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Aging like a fine red wine, the former Japanese TV announcer Mariko Seyama has proven year by year that older is not only better, but more provocative.
The mature gravure star has continued to strip even as she reached her forties. Indeed, it wasn't until she arrived at that milestone that she showed us her naked breasts, after years of semi-nude shoots.
Seyama is a former announcer for NTV who moved into gravure in 2012. The Tokyo native is a graduate from Keio University, one of the most prestigious colleges in Japan. She is also divorced, having been married from 2009 to 2015. Her ...
Will 47-year-old Aki Hoshino make a gravure comeback?
January 31, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
The new photo book by Yuki Kashiwagi has reminded us that a bunch of idols and models have made similar comebacks of late, some doing it just for kicks and others hoping to ride nostalgia to a quick yen.
Other examples include Reiko Kato, Serina, Chinatsu Wakatsuki, Rina Aizawa, Aya Ueto, and Haruka Ayase.
Another comeback that might be on the cards is Aki Hoshino.
Now aged 47, Aki Hoshino posted a video of herself in a swimwear (in what seems to be a sponsored post for Alexia Stam, a swimwear brand) and she looks great for a middle-aged woman.
Many fans commented that they want her to ...
Seniors-only maid cafe in Japan gains popularity
January 20, 2025
/ Tadashi Anahori
Is this what all Japanese maid cafes will be like in the future?
With Japan's population aging at an alarming rate, one event in the city of Kiryu in Gunma demonstrates that it doesn't matter if you're young at heart.
A maid cafe is open only once a month but is attracting attention and popularity from both customers and national media. This is not like a maid cafe in Akihabara, where you are likely to be served by a very young and cute lady. The maids are all aged 65 or older.
According to a report in the Yomiuri, people are coming around Japan to meet the maids.
At the year's first ...

/ Tadashi Anahori
In December 2023, we wrote about the incredible Fumie Nakajima, who proves that age is no obstacle to having a slender and sexy body, and continuing to release gravure videos and do photo shoots.
Now aged 56, Fumie Nakajima has released another photo book. Far from hiding her age, the publication embraces it: the title is simply #56. The cover features Nakajima in an alluring, semi-nude pose, with a wet shirt clinging to her body and with her panties half pulled down.
Last year, she marked 35 years since her debut. Having once retired from gravure at the age of 39, she made a comeback at ...
