Shut. The front door. With all the comebacks, it feels like I'm 10-15 years younger.

Doesn't it feel like S1 is just watered down now, though? One would have to think Saki is nearing the end of her career, and seems like like all the girls coming in now are a stop-gap. Here today, gone tomorrow. It's just the sales from a debut and so-so reviews after the the honeeymoon with the viewers ends within a few months.

Rei - I don't know. Studios were 1000% smitten with her, but knew there was a hard stop and her calendar gobbled for 365 days before they could get out "kawa." As for Rara, I didn't look to see if, but where, on this list she'd end up. I came across an article on "Medium" type blog written by someone saying to be fairly close to her. I don't take, well, anything, I read on the internet without an entire salt lick, but it was detailed enough, with insider-sounding info, and not want to be bothered about it, but just to put a piece out there that said "maybe, just maybe, you should think about..." and it was enough for me to think, "I don't know if there was ever any good xxxxx between Shion and S1 to become bad xxxxx." It made me think this: If S1 was an MLB team decimated my retirements, people leaving after short contacts, and they were rebuilding, but couldn't sign any of the top free agents out there (in this case, a Ruri, Anri, with Julia and Hitomi and Kaho and on and on), but knew you had a pure stable of of talent you locked in for a few years (Saki, Aoi, etc) who all came up through the farm system together, and you could have made that team gel by putting Shion in there with them, you could have put her on a starter's release cycle, but you didn't and you kept her separate from that very same farm system, (she's 19 now) because you needed a show piece to get you through for a year (even AVOP has separate entries for all those lovely women, then one for the crown jewel who they held back) - does this leave the door open for some animosity to grow, maybe that seed was planted with some very short term sightedness because, who's NOT going to watch that goddess on the playing field, and it keeps more than the lights on for you that stable to bring enough wins to basically become the Yankees of JAV. But in those few years while before that farm team were had a lot of all-pro entries, maybe, just maybe, those circumstances weighed on her (kind of like giving 50 million to an unproven rookie who looks great on the tapes, but then not offering any kind of guidance. And maybe it took more toll on her, but she knew she had enough public support than she could make her way back to open arms. But, BUT, at maybe she had a choice backed by enough sway, which I think we can all agree, a lot of these girls do not. Anyway, that's where I netted out. Good list, though. =)

Everytime I hit JAV Library to see who’s new, I constantly get a kick from comments picking on an actresses nose, or eyes, or feet - anything ridiculous. I always want to reply ”congrats on never having been on a date.”

I'm going to lob this one over the wall and see if anyone hits it back. Azumi Mizushima just reappeared in an indie to outdo all other indie studios (fifth dimension) video. Did anyone 'round these parts know anything about if it's a one-off or is she navigating her own path a la Ruri - fresh start at her own pace and all.
