BREAKING: Momo Sakura Is BACK, Mio Ishikawa's Auctions Her Panties For 2 Million, Riho Fujimori Unites With Mina Kitano Again & Amiri Saito's RETIREMENT Plans!

Here's a rundown of some of the top stories, we had our eyes on in March

This must be one of the significant retirement headlines of this month, Amiri Saito recently announced her departure, setting her sights on a late 2025 exit.

As the actress mentioned, "I will retire as an AV actress in December 2025. It's still a long way off, so it doesn't feel real! There's a lot I want to say, but I haven't quite put it all together yet. I'd be happy if you could support me until the end"

Isn't it too sudden? This is exactly the question lingering in the minds of her fans. So let’s take a look at her whirlwind career, a bit of back & forth in the industry that has kept the 25-year-old's fans perpetually guessing.

Prior to her debut, she had worked at a long-established store in Akihabara. After working at a maid cafe, she made her AV debut in 2019 as an exclusive actress for Prestige AV with the catchphrase "Japan's most erotic Ms. Saito". Back then, she had a picturesque figure brimming with wholesome innocence, with long, straight black hair and a naturally curvaceous figure. "Plump," some fans might have called her, though she was far from overweight, simply possessing a healthy, relatable physique.

The turning point in her career came when she lifted the creampie ban at Prestige. From that point onwards, Amiri embraced the gyaru look somehow shedding her innocent image for a more edgy, provocative persona. By the time she transferred to another major JAV studio, Ideapocket, she had been transformed into a full-fledged gyaru idol, ready to conquer the industry.

But it was when she left Ideapocket that we saw a complete overhaul of her persona. It was as if Amiri had pushed her gyaru avatar to the extremes. She dyes her hair super bright and perms it, puts on more and more makeup to make herself look like a gyaru girl, and even dresses up like a little devil. I bet most of our readers would agree that was hard not to notice her bold transformation.

However, the transformation came with an unsettling side effect: extreme weight loss. Amiri's once plump figure dwindled, leaving her looking skinny. "She was so thin that she couldn't find the right underwear to make her pants look loose," commented one user. "If you zoom in on the photos uploaded to social media, you can find that the lines are very scary, a bit like anorexia..."

Despite the alarming physical changes, Amiri maintained that she felt healthy and energetic. Her short break from filming JAVs, she claimed, was not due to health issues but rather a result of other work commitments and a period of agency transition.

The announcement of her return last year was met with upbeat optimism. But the joy was short-lived. After a mere nine months, Amiri made it official that she would be retiring at the end of 2025.

The suddenness of her decision begs a lot of questions from her fans. Like why even retire now? Just as she seemed to be finding her footing in the industry again. Could it be that she has a pre-existing health issue she's trying to conceal? Or is she simply disillusioned with the industry?

Moreover, her current status as a freelance actress, rather than an exclusive contract holder, makes matters worse for the 25-year-old. It's unlikely that a major farewell tour or a series of fan meet events will be organized. "Even if she retires in December, I think it is unlikely that we will see Amiri Saito participate in overseas events" sources reveal, and because she is a planning actress and does not have an exclusive contract, the film company may not want to hold events. And what about a farewell JAV, well that too might be in the works but we’ll have to wait till next year to get hold of such a JAV if at all it is released.

For now, all fans could do is wonder why she’s left JAV and wait for further updates on her career. Will she offer any explanations before she fades from the spotlight? Or will she leave behind a legacy of unanswered questions and lingering unease? The clock is ticking, and the curtain is about to drop on this enigmatic performer’s JAV career.

Momo Sakura hasn’t been getting the kind of limelight she deserves on this blog. Not much we could do if she decides to hibernate for six months in a year, lol. But I guess fans can be relieved now that she’s back.

Sakura has activated her Instagram under a new pseudonym, @sakuramomo_pole. Now some eagle eyed fans might be wondering why she prefixed the word pole to he username. Well then, let me reveal the account's true purpose: pole dancing. Right, the cutie has picked up a new hobby and it seems exciting!

While she already maintains a primary Instagram, its updates are sporadic at best. By creating a dedicated pole dancing account, Sakura is trying to suggest that she has a serious commitment, a desire to document her journey into such a demanding dance form. We recorded the actress quoting on X, "I started pole dancing as a hobby! I have so many bruises all over my body that I can't hide them, so I decided to make an account to keep a diary of my progress. If you're interested, please check it out! And if you're a pole dancer, please let's be friends."

I swear this girl is such a tease when she captioned her first post "I didn’t know how to use Instagram and hoped that everyone could teach her,". But it’s not even her lack of technical prowess but a lack of consistency when it comes to keeping up with social media platforms. I hope this newfound passion for pole dancing translates into a more engaging social media presence, lol

Sakura accompanied a video of her first raw, unfiltered pole dancing lesson, as she added that it was her first day of pole dancing. Readers who have followed the actress know that Sakura Momo has no prior experience as a pole dancer and aptly her act was miserable

But let’s not write her off the girl is at least trying her best After watching the video, we can observe that Sakura Momo was a little flustered when getting on the pole and needed the teacher to guide her. I think she looked pretty good after turning a few circles.

The best thing about Sakura is that her natural grace and slender physique is a perfect fit for the the art form. "It may be because she has a slim and beautiful figure, so she will never look ugly no matter what she does," one observer noted.

But why pole dancing all of a sudden? My best guess is that besides cultivating a hobby, Sakura probably just wants to be in better shape. Pole dancing is quite demanding on arm, back, and abdominal muscles, as an art form "The calories consumed are much higher than general sports such as running and swimming," insiders reveal.

So could this be a subtle hint at a potential body transformation? Is Sakura Momo preparing for a new phase in her career, a shift towards a more athletic, toned image while taking her fans through the body transformation journey

The possibility of a more muscular-defined Sakura Momo is not off the cards.

So if you're keen on keeping track of the behind-the-scenes of Sakura’s pole dance journey don't forget to follow her on @sakuramomo_pole, I guess there is more in the cards so keep an eye on, you never know what this slender hottie has to offer!

Japanese fans went crazy over a pair of underwear. Lol, you read that right! Apparently fans were involved in a bidding war for a pair of panties belonging to JAV actress Mio Ishikawa, with her worn panties fetching over an astonishing 2 million yen in a FANZA auction! Imagine fetching that much for a pair of panties.

"Is underwear really that desirable? Huh?" Mio exclaimed as she was taken aback herself with, a mixture of disbelief and amusement in her tone. While there have been instances in the past of certain items worn by actresses fetching mind-boggling bids, it has more to do with the allure of an actress's personal items I guess.

A pair of underwear worn by the actress alongside signed polaroids fetched over 2 million yen in a FANZA auction

That's over 13,000 US dollars, and it is making my head spin already. The bidding was estimated to cross with five and a half days remaining, rumors made rounds that the price could soar to a staggering 2 million yen. This seems more of an obsessive move rather than just a mere bidding war.

I wonder whether Mio was left amazed by the auction or the sheer extravagance of the bidding. She knew her worth as an actress but given that this was her first time, she was taken aback.

With such a positive response in this auction, Mio will likely bounce back from that pirated website scandal that compelled her to delete her account in the first place. Then followed a barrage of "humiliating comments” claiming that her JAV career was almost over, but Mio bounced back from that episode.

The recent auction that fetched her millions will likely cheer her up. It's a middle finger to those who sought to pull her down "Now, everyone has witnessed the strength of Ishikawa Mio," a user reacted. "In my personal opinion, there are three top actresses in this industry. One is Saika Kawakita, one is Mio Ishikawa, and the other is Kanna Seto, who was stunning right after her debut." the same insider adds.

With 5 hours left for the auction to end, it had already fetched a bid of 2 million yen

To be honest, no one would have believed that there would be fans willing to spend more than 1 million yen on worn panties until now. But now Mio’s example tells you that actresses of her level are worth a lot of dollars, and it is possible to spend 2 million yen on a pair of underwear!

But what got me thinking is the fact that who are these high-bidding fans? What must have been their motive to spend such astronomical sums on a piece of lingerie? Is it pure fandom? A fetish? Let me know what you guys think in the comments down below.

But what this auction has done is spark a debate about the value of celebrity in the digital age. In a world where content is readily available and easily pirated, personal items have become coveted artifacts, tangible connections to the stars we admire. And again it is a reminder that in the JAV industry, anything is possible, even a million-yen pair of panties, lol.

Get over the epic collab of Mayuki Ito & Ayaka Yamagishi, this month we have two industry BFFs Riho Fujimori and Mina Kitano have united for an explosive collab that’ll have saliva dripping down your mouth.

So this all began with a simple tweet by Mina who took to X (formerly Twitter) to publicly express her desire for a collab JAV with Riho. And Mina wanted it to be a "super crazy work," something that she hadn’t starred in yet. "I'd love to work with Riho again soon... I'd love to do something really outlandish or something classic that everyone loves."

To which Riho gave a swift reply. "To those in the industry," she declared on X, "I sincerely hope to act with Ms. Kitano Mina." You could tell that she so badly wanted to do a lesbian scene with her friend. "Although we are in different studios we both hope to work together. Although I have not lifted the ban on lesbian sex, if it is Kitano, kissing is OK!"

The message was clear: Both actresses were willing to bend their personal boundaries, for the sake of this collaboration. But could it really be that simple? I mean we’ve seen actresses in the past belonging to entirely different studios collab.

For Riho's agency, Will Group, it was like a walk in the park. The agency saw an opportunity and capitalized on the public outpouring of support. And guess what the fans got in return, not one but two JAVs as confirmed by the actress

"We have confirmed two performances together! We are so happy!" Fujimori Riho announced, her words brimming with excitement. "Next we just need to work hard to produce results!"

The speed at which this collaboration took place is bound to raise some eyebrows. Was this a pre-planned agreement, a carefully orchestrated PR stunt designed to create the hype? Who knows

It takes about half a year to first propose a plan, then sign a contract, and then shoot the film and put the work on the shelves so another September or October release might be in the cards if we were to believe Riho’s statement.

On top of that Riho's 'kissing' allowance is also in the cards. Is it something she intentionally said to generate hype? I guess we’re in a new era of actress collaborations and actresses will strategically use any angle like friendship in Mina’s case to sell you a JAV. It’d be interesting to see whether the JAV lives up to its hype once it is released.
