Outstanding profile on Nao. She is truly legendary. I have to imagine that since she is both a woman and former actress herself, she makes her actresses feel more comfortable, even when the video is rough or otherwise demanding. When I'm going through new releases, if I see a video she has directed, I'll look at the preview no matter who is in it or what genre it is. She and Akari Mitani as collaborators will continue showing you don't need to keep making exactly the same thing all the time in JAV. Kinda makes me wish R18 would include the option to search by director in addition to actress or studio, or genre. Again, great work on this piece.
Very strong list. I'm curious what you think of Kokomi Sakura? Not that I can think of anyone for her to replace on your list, but I think she always had a strong presence.
I wonder if Eimi will just create her own production company eventually at the rate she is going. ???? Appreciate the article!
Happy to see some love for Renon Kanae. Yes, she'll never be in the top 100, but she's great in her own unique ways. Also, with her flexibility, almost elf-ish looks, and playfulness, she sorta, kinda filled that hole left by Azumi Mizushima in some ways.
Honoka is tough. She has an incredible body, she can do mild or very hardcore stuff...seems like she should be in a lot of stuff. Maybe not well managed? I do see her in a lot of "uncredited" roles, but yeah...I keep waiting for her to break out and haunt the top 100. I'm still waiting for Hina Nanase to climb higher too. That one baffles me as well. Very good list.
