Well right now, how can you pay when the American sites won't take your money?

I'm definitely a debut hunter followed by a couple of movies afterwards. Then you can tell which direction their careers will go

what do you mean by quite "low"

I love this monthly because it verifies my hunches on how Jav did and the trends. I like to see what movies are coming out every day and what is coming out in the future. If you have Twitter, you can see how some of the top stars are constantly pushing; Twitter has been pushing Sumire Kuramoto for a while. I'm surprised Inaba is still a top girl. She may be out of the game; her Twitter is "suspended." I've noticed a lot more schoolgirl titles in Jav recently. Also, seeing Kanon and her jungle snatch returning was cool. I wish you can do a story on popularity in Jav and how one AV model is pushed harder than another during debuts.

Did Chisato Shoda retire? I haven't heard any news, and I follow her consistently. She has a new Takara video every month and many films for Center Village. I also "follow" her on Twitter that show her on set
