Since I already wrote what my stance is on Kaho Shibuya parlaying her AV fame into her current ventures I'll just reiterate it here...Let me start by saying I absolutely ADORE Kaho Shibuya she's a favorite of mine and I don't think that will ever change. However I would be lying if I didn't say that I'm not slightly bothered by her reliance on appealing even at times pandering to the Anime Community. Now granted it sounds a bit ridiculous to complain about a Japanese woman using something that originated in her country in order to somehow build a new career for herself. However it's kind of uncomfortable to see her doing things that others stateside have done before her in order to build some kind of "Fame" within the Anime Community. Things like going to Conventions in Cosplay and doing videos dressed as various characters. Now I'm not about to believe she ain't making some kind of income with this because if your good at something you don't do it for free. Which begs the question: "Is she making money off her AV fame and stage name much like Anri Okita is doing now?" "And is this a good thing for her fans and her overall image post retirement??"

I don't know what your stance is on this but I also wanted to address that Kaho Shibuya post retirement has kind of parlayed her AV fame in order to persue other ventures. Obviously she hasn't gone the marriage of convenience or OnlyFans route (Yet) but I am a little uncomfortable by her reliance on pandering towards the Anime Community. Now I'm not about to pretend to be this big Anime fan (I'm very casual of such things) but what she's doing feels eerily familiar to me. I'm reminded of people like Jessica Nigri and Yaya Han to name a few who have built there name on Anime, Manga, Cosplay etc. What do you think? I'm really curious about what your stance is on what she's currently doing.

I was first introduced to Anri Okita with her famous Gif from PPPD-288 you know the one I don't really have to describe it. I closely followered her career ever since so I was very much aware of what she was doing in and out of AV. Now she respectfully tried persuing other career options long before her retirement which didn't amount to much of anything. I really don't need to address why that is because of course nobody was going to take her seriously given her line of work. For all intents and purposes Anri Okita would be nothing without her AV career and even after retirement her continued use of her stage name for her OnlyFans (Which I'm under the impression she doesn't own) in order to exploit her fanbase for money basically had me sour on her. So I don't necessarily blame you for not thinking highly of her right now because I share in that sentiment. The OnlyFans and utilization of delisted content in order to make money off her AV fame does not paint her in a positive light. I would think she would be self aware of that but from the looks of it I'm not getting that impression which makes her look even worse.

You would think after she got engaged, married and pregnant in one year's time she would want to distance herself from her AV career. Not even a marriage of convience (Don't kid yourself if you think this is anything more then that) is apparently enough for her she didn't hesitate to start an OnlyFans in order to pad her bank account. Creating a PMV with previously delisted work (No matter how long the video is) in order to promote her OnlyFans is not cool and extremely scummy to both her fanbase and studios that made her who she is.
