• Thanks Morgan695 for the translation! A few improvements:

  Add a USD conversion for 490 yen (or is it Yen with a capital Y?)

  Done.

  bimonthly - is that twice a month or every two months?

  Clarified in article body.

  gravures - link it to relevant page if possible

  The closest is Gravure idols, which I don't think is strictly relevant here. I think the link to Pin-up covers it.

  Bokura ha Seinen Tanteidan - ha or wa? In Contributors section

  Revised.

  Are there JP articles for Yayoi Takeda, Hikomi Kugake and Miki Ishida?

  There are not.
