Farewell: JAV Retirements of 2021

2021 was a bloody year for retirements, for me personally. A bunch of actresses I liked and followed decided to hang up their frilly lingerie and retire from JAV. Time is porn is a short one and not many make it a lifelong career. While it does indeed suck when an actress retires, most of the women here gave their retirements in full advance with some not slated for their final film until well into 2022. Let’s hope this becomes a trend in the future. Without further ado let's say farewell to some great actresses that have sadly announced their retirement from porn in 2021.

Minami Hatsukawa

DASD-921
“Reverse Cosplay For Full Exposure With A Bold Harlem Slut. Minami Hatsukawa”

First up to bat is Minami Hatsukawa. I’ve never been a big fan or hers, she is cute and rocks that Yaeba teeth look but is just a decent performer and blends into the sea of cute girls in JAV. However, her last year has proven to be a jolt of energy to her systems. Minami has been killing it in her final year. Much more energetic, lively, and game in all her roles. She has been doing interesting team ups with some big names, starring in some really dark and dramatic plots, having a blast in some slutty roles, and even doing a lesbian title a rarity for her.

BBAN-343
“The Lesbian Series Undercover Investigation, Captured By Lesbians Special - The Suspicious Fake Vaccine Manufacturer”

(She's also got a pretty sweet butt)

Minami is giving us everything but the kitchen sink as she closes out her career. Just taking on some fun and serious roles. Leaving nothing to chance, she is facing her end with loads of vim and vigor. Choosing to retire may have been the best thing to happen to Minami. It has given her new life. If you were ever interested in getting into Minami now is the time. She is better than ever. From this year you can check her out in DASD-921 with the quickly popular Reverse Bunny suit. She is so bubbly and energetic here and making the best of all the costumes to work on her slim, slender body. There is also her lesbian title pictured above where she plays an officer of the law investigating some criminals played by Reiko Kobayakawa and Mao Kurata. The cute and supple Minami versus the older mature ladies. It features some great ass shots of our rear endowed women.

Mikako Abe

ZEX-406
“Miraculous Transparency 2021 REMAKE - 9 Years Since Her First AV Debut Sold 10,000 Copies!! Mikako Abe 27 Years Old”

Mikako is an old favorite of mine and her retirement is a bittersweet one. Sad to see her go but she has built up a great career. This off kilter petite cutie has starred in her fair share of great and weird smut. Her end was most likely kick started when she contracted the coronavirus late last year. Since coming back her face has been noticeably puffier and she has spoken about some of the lingering effect of the virus. She is better now but the illness and the pandemic have most likely accelerated her retirement as it has for many.

MIAA-422
“The Girls I Work With Missed The Last Train Home So I Invited Them Over. Normally They're Well-Behaved, But Tonight They Go Wild And Start Pleading For My Seed”

For her last year Mikako has been remaking some of her first films like with ZEX-406. What a fun concept that should be used for other actresses retiring after a long career. Seeing her in her early days and now, she really hasn’t aged all that much. A little older sure but still very much the same. A fun title but if you want to check out a great title from her recently then watch MIAA-422 with her and Luna Tsukino. It’s a good title but really you should watch it for the ass (ass lovers welcome). Both ladies are petite skinny little things packing some serious heat in the ass department. This fantastic gif has been making the rounds and will sell on you it better than my words can. My goodness. Mikako’s ass gets overshadowed by her youthful looks but she has got a great little ass.

(Luna's ass smacking up against Mikako's. Lord have mercy.)

Rika Mari

HND-990
“My Horny Step Took A Promise I Made When She Was Youthful To Marry Her Seriously And Begs Me To Get Her Pregnant”

Rika Mari’s case is a funny one. She returned early this year after a short break with a title advertising how poor and cash strapped she was. Only to announce another retirement later this year. She has always been an odd bird and this is all on brand. It’s not too crazy to think she’ll be back and gone again in the future. Rika is known for her mean and demented roles while being especially good at dirty talk. This tiny chick likes to give as much as she gets being into some surprisingly rough sex liking to get spanked and choked.

She’s had some great titles for the short time she was back. In fact, one of her titles may appear on my best of list. From this year you could check out HND-990 for the prime Rika Mari experience where she seduces an older man into deep cream pie copulating sex. There is also HND-961 a POV title with a fun if demented premise. Rika is a too cutesy girl who is “thrown away” by her sugar boyfriend. And what does she do but glom onto the first guy who takes pity on her. Rika is just great at playing seemingly innocent characters hiding their craziness inside.

 HND-961
“We Found This Loveless Sugar Downtown To See If She Wanted To Dirty Talk Us Into A Creampie - She Did”

(Just take what you want)

Yui Tomita

A much smaller name than the rest of our actress but a retirement that stings nonetheless. Yui Tomita ends her lesser known career this year. She was real light on releases this year which may have been a sign of things to come. Yui is a skinny and slight woman with the frailest of appearances. Which may surprise and thrill you to see how masochistic she is. This thin looking woman is one glutton for punishment. She has starred in plenty of dark demented plot heavy titles. Her loss is a small one but before she leaves you should check out some of the hidden gems in her catalog such as BBAN-261. Costarring with Rika Mari, the two are trapped in a room and can only leave if they have hot lusty sex with each other. A plot primed for these two dramatic actresses.

Yui Nagase

I am not a fan of Yui at all, her face doesn’t really do it for me but her retirement has come as a big loss especially for petite fans. She does have a nice butt but her real appeal comes in her team ups. Yui and her BFF Ichika Matsumoto (so cute to see) have been teaming up for titles like nobodies’ business. They seemed determined to overthrow Hibihata (Yui Hatano and Hibiki Otsuki) with who has the most duo titles in JAV. So, her retirement seems to have come at a bad time. She and Ichika are riding higher than ever. So, if you are going to check anything out from her it should be a duo title with Ichika like CAWD-148. This video is a squirt tastic title that gets wet and wild pretty quick. Even better are all the ass shots of these two tiny petites. Like Mikako and Luna these two are packing some bubbly asses back there.

CAWD-148
“Double Shaved Pussy Squirting Wetting Yourself Huge Orgasm Special”

Nanami Kawakami

DVAJ-532
“(Cruel Edging) Cocks Left Hanging Right When They're About To Blow - One 'Ruined Orgasm' After Another Without Relief Until Your Dick Explodes With Cum”

Next is Nanami Kawakami’s finale. Some would say, as I would, that Nanami is one of the best acting actresses in JAV. A great actress who can emote with the best of them. With her slim, skinny, and absolutely flat body; Nanami has built up a career out of her performing and acting alone. She is a prime example of working with what you’ve got. Nanami has gotten a lot of mileage with her charisma, charm, and personality alone at times. A specialist in plot heavy titles, she is also not half bad at teasing guys along. She has had a great year and sits somewhere in my top ten of favorite actresses of the year.

(Nanami looking fly)
 

The title you should check out from her is DVAJ-532 where she shows off her edging skills as she teases guys to ruined climax. I’ve talked about her acting chops but Nanami is also really fun just being herself no scripts needed. Aside from the great edge work Nanami looks fresh as hell here. She looks fantastic from her masseuse outfit, to her dark full body lingerie, or just her sweet looking causal street wear. Another title to look out from her recently is SHKD-957 which is my favorite release from her all year. In an almost Parasite-like plot of the upper class and the lower class meeting. Nanami plays an uppity wealthy lady who is taken by her long suffering underling. She anchors this dark drama with her acting skills and some sweltering hot sex.

Rena Aoi

SSIS-067
“Ugh, That Bitch Is So Annoying, She Acts Like She's A Celebrity. Pump Her Full Of Your Cum Mako Iga”

Our final retiree hits the hardest with Rena Aoi. Rena is one of the best actresses at playing mean, bitchy femdom roles. Man or woman, Rena delights in giving them pleasurable hell. She like Rika likes to receive as much as she gets, being into some rough stuff every now and then. What a lot of her titles may miss is her beauty. A lot of them focus on her youthful and petite appearance but Rena is one gorgeous woman. I wished more titles highlighted her beauty more especially when she has those thick luscious lips. What an underrated beauty.

It really is a shame she is leaving. Rena felt like she was hitting her stride. She’s become much more beautiful and really found a style befitting her. Studios seemed to be recognizing her appeal and casting her in bigger titles that best suited her. Titles like SSIS-067 which is an informal series mainly powered by Rena. She plays a side role in watching and tormenting women while they are fucked silly. She’s also done videos with Suzu Honjo, Yuna Ogura, and Tsukasa Aoi. A couple of studios have done this type of video all with a supporting role with Rena. I like the refer to this loose series as “Rena plays a big ol Bitch”. Who can take her place in the future? When Rena leaves there will be a big mean shaped hole in JAV.

Honorable Mentions
Miku Abeno called it quits early this year. The slender bodied babe was quite muscular and fit with one nice booty. Shuri Atomi is a big name that I feel I should at least mention. A fan favorite among petite fans she has been around for a while with hundreds of titles under her tiny belt. There is Kanade Tsuchiya a very small name who liked to star in very hardcore videos particularly ones that really pushed her throat to the limit with her love of deep throating and face fucking. All sadly ending or announcing their end.

Well, that is that for the article and for many of these women. It is always sad to see actresses leave but on the bright side at least they were here in the first place. Giving us sweet sweet smut.

Til next time, FC out
