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.
