Although I was able to get when the website closed (February 2014?) for this doc on defunct gravure websites (I've specially linked the N/S Eyes section for purpose of this thread) thru Wayback Machine diving, official info regarding the final few sets seems to be murky because Wayback Machine...

Some context/trivia about this: These things were originally obtainable on @misty's website (and officially named For-side Gradol★Paradise [グラドル★パラダイス]), rather than on For-side PLUS (for-side.jp, 2004-2006) or their other web/ecommerce sites from the period. During this time, For-side (the...

To answer the question of what is this, according to Wayback Machine, it seems to be some sort of parasocial "girlfriend experience" streams, with exclusive web gravure from them originally obtainable here. It closed in 2014 when Club Bitway (its payment provider) closed that year, but their...

Originally, I thought weekly magazines selling digital photobooks directly (as part of change in trends of digital/web gravure: from subscription sites to buy-once digital photobooks) was something that I felt serves as a blow to GRAPHIS since they stuck to the subscription model (even with the...

On the rankings thing: It was five years ago, not eight. If you read the citation on the Japanese Wikipedia article, it's from a May 2021 issue of WPB (集英社『週刊プレイボーイ』2021年5月24日号No.21 169‐172頁). Granted her being 21 that year is still a "real shot" age compared to 26 now. But honestly? At this...

Considering Asami's pretty much still outside of the "ex-jr to chakuero" pipeline (per her image) career trajectory-wise I am of opinion that, should she switch agencies, she need to become a mainstream gradol (in major magazines, Japanese Wikipedia reported she was in WPB once in a ranking of...
