What’s better than one gravure idol? Fifty gravure idols!
In June, Weekly Playboy brought together fifty of Japan’s top scantily clad bikini models for what must surely be the photo shoot of the year.
How many do you recognise? Many of the hottest gravure ladies are present and correct, including Yuka Kuramochi, Nanoka, Saya Kataoka, Saki Suzuki, Hikaru Aoyama, Hitomi Yasueda, Miko Terada, Aya Hazuki, Rin Tachibana, Yuka Someya, Iroha Yanagi, Ayuka Terada, Ikumi Hisamatsu, Rina Toeda, Fumina Suzuki, and more.
We’ve included a sampling of the resulting shoot. You can really see the range of bodies there, from the slinky to the voluptuous, the busty and big-butted to the slender and cute.
Watch the behind-the-scenes footage, and spot how early on the ladies give Yuka Kuramochi’s butt a nice slap.
Among notable absences, there was no Ren Ishikawa, but she’s a lady increasingly in demand these days.
The choice of number isn’t random. It’s a celebration of fifty years of the magazine’s life in Japan.
