■ Additional Notes on the Product ■
"Monthly Playboy" (Gekkan Playboy) was a magazine that translated and re-edited the American adult magazine "Playboy" for the Japanese market.
It is also called the Japanese edition of PLAYBOY.
Shueisha launched it in May 1975 as the "July issue."
The publisher was Masaru Wakana, and the editor was Kōda Boku.
The magazine featured substantial reading material, including non-fiction by Norman Mailer and novels by John Colia.
It directly imported and published nude photos of "Playmate" models exclusive to Playboy.
Even before the ban on pubic hair nudity in Japan (around 1990), the magazine continued to publish such images, albeit with editing and processing.
Apart from gravure, the magazine had strong original elements unique to the Japanese edition, including novels, columns, and interviews.
Kazuhiko Torishima, who aimed to become an editor for the magazine, stated, "The content, including promotional strategies, was very interesting."
The stylish magazine layout and sophisticated articles had a significant influence, and after its launch, many adult-oriented visual magazines modeled after Monthly Playboy were launched one after another.
