Moodyz Talent Turns A Year Older

Having recently transitioned to Moodyz after a flurry of rumors regarding her future, often been linked to the likes of Ideapocket and a handful of studios, the widely acclaimed AV talent Arina Arata, formerly recognized as Arina Hashimoto celebrated her 25th birthday in her fans presence and amid a lot of those close to the actress, in attendance. The 25 year old who had a pretty busy month given her commitments as her calendar launch event came to close, took time out from her busy schedule to commemorate what could perhaps be considered as a silver jubilee anniversary in her life. 

Given the limited exposure, I'm in no place to share insider scoops from the event but one could conclude from the pics shared on her public Twitter that the former Faleno talent had one hell of a time celebrating her birthday. One could get a gist of how grateful she felt after the event concluded as the actress accompanied a thank you message for her fans who took out their time from their busy schedule to make the idol feel loved and warmth of her fans company.

"Thanks to everyone who came to my birthday event! Thank you so much. It was great to see so many of you even though it was a weekday. Thank you so much for making time in your schedule and coming to see me after work even though you were all so busy! I would be very happy if you could continue to support me all the time. Thank you so much for your support today!"

As if that wasn't enough to fill her followers heart, in a subsequent tweet, Arina doubled down on the praises for her fans, further mentioning that her followers have a big role to play in her success and she is where she is because of their continuous support.

"Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes yesterday! I entered the adult film industry at the age of 19 and turned 26 this year..", it has indeed been an exhilarating journey for the Moodyz talent. The reason I have been able to be active for such a long time is because of all of you who support me everyday! I am able to be active for such a long time thanks to all of you who support me every day! Thank you for everything. I look forward to working with you all in the future!" wrote Arina in her birthday tweet.

Readers must have figured it out by now, how much Arina adores her fans. It's quite unlikely for an idol to be this affectionate towardds her followers, let alone care to go the extra length to share appreciation not saying that they don't but it's highly unlikely, maybe that could be one of the several reasons behind Arina's career reaching certain heights making her one of the top ranked talents in the industry that the likes of Moodyz came chasing for her signature. It's the bond that they share that makes her so likable among her fan circles.

I've a great news for the readers who couldn't make it to the event, the 26 year old Moodyz exclusive is auctioning the dress she wore for her birthday event. Follow this particular link to place a bid and it couled be yours in no time!

AV Actress Makes A Comeback In December

"Long time no see! I have been absent for a few months. I apologize for any inconvenience and worry this may have caused." On a tweet made from her new account on December 18, Hinano convinced her fans to have been on  a vacation and apologized for the delayed appearance. She further claimed to be featuring in JAVs under the same alias that she used prior, though tweeting from a new account was a mention she made. "I have decided to change my name to "Hinano Kuno". I've decided to start my activities as "Kuno Hinano" again. I've decided to change my name to "Kuno Hinano" and I'll start from scratch with a new account! I would be happy if you could become friends with me again. Thank you very much!"

Earlier in October, a fan from the adultboard Scanlover took notice of the fact that the 21 year old Moodyz diva had gone radio silent for almost over a month and given how rumors spread like wildfire in the adult community, more and more fans started believing the possibility that Hinano might have already headed for a retirement or to ease the pain, atleast a transfer to a new agency as most actresses are accustomed to follow suit.

Though on the other hand, her constant releases were nowhere close to the theory that her fans from the adultboard had earlier speculated. With two releases under the Moodyz banner in a period of three months, one could draw a totally different assumption from what had been circulating in those adult boards. 

Alas, all rumors were put to rest at last when her talent office TPower tweeted a statement regarding their star's short hiatus from the daily grind. In the tweet, made public on December 18, the office wrote. "She was absent for a few months. Hinano is back. She made a new account. Please follow her!" As is quite clear from the tweet, the actress had to do with starting from scratch on Twitter after several failed attempts at retrieving her previous account.

Her office Moodyz was among the first to make fans aware of the comeback. In a tweet posted earlier this month on Moodyz official twitter, Hinano could be seen catching up with one of the affiliates from the office over a Yakiniku meal as is evident from the caption. The duo could be observed sharing a light hearted moment in the set of pics posted on the office's timeline. The fans must be glad to witness the comeback of their fav idol who'd been missing ever since she made her debut back in September this year. If this was indeed a tactical move from the 21 year old or at most her office, I won't deny that they've been quite successful at brewing up the hype that would ultimately set the trajectory for her releases, next year. Though, I hope this wasn't a marketing gimmick by one of the best makers in the industry, if at all this was other makers shouldn't waste time leaping at the strategy to hype up a launch.

The fact that her dejected fans kept the desire alive on her comeback should be more than enough of a reason for Hinano to prove her mettle, going forward.

Former E-BODY Talent Reappears On Twitter

It's hardly ever that AV actresses who decide to retire, make a comeback within a few years from retirement. Not saying that it's not the case but it's mostly actresses who go on a brief hiatus that ascertain such possibilities. While I've presented several instances of actresses making a comeback or redebuting under a different management in my earlier bi-weekly columns in the past, this particular reportage remains quite distinct from the rest. 

DVD jacket of EBOD-481

​​​​​​If at all our readers have a robust memory of coming across a DVD jacket back in 2015 that features an I-cup diva with cosmetically enlarged breasts, donning a yellow bikini with a heart piercing stare, behind her the sea acts as a backdrop, let me tell you guys are in for good luck. The AV actress featured in that jacket is none other than Elly Sasaki, the sumptuous diva that reigned hearts in her significant but limited tenure of four years in the industry under E-body's banner, all while making it worthwhile for the fans. 

Credits to the makers for having copped an idol with commendably killer figure like that. Back then Elly was competing against the likes of Ayumi Shinoda and prime Rion to for her spot in the industry but much to her fans dismay, a generational talent like Elly never attained the limelight she craved for. Mostly due to her affinity towards getting under the knife, on a frequent basis and kinda partly due to the work she featured in her time with E-Body, lacked substance, which could've been a triggering factor for Elly to be overlooked in an era when industry heavyweights were in their prime.

In her four year tenure, the now 31 year old had been exclusive only to E-body while there might have been independent works, which I'm unaware of. To my knowledge, there had also been several talks floating around that she had gone under the knife multiple times, even to the extent of cosmetically modifying her facial structure which is quite prevalent from her recent posts wherein the 31 year old looks in stark contrast to her early days as a debutante, when she commenced featuring in AVs. 

"It's Ellie Sasaki, who debuted in 2015! I'm back! I'm back! I'll be tweeting a lot from now on, so please support me!" From what I could make out there's not much information floating around on her Twitter that drops the towel on her future prospects, if at all she has one in the near future. The actress had made an attempt at keeping mum for the time being regarding her work preferences, not denying that she won't be featuring in any AVs in the future, just that the possibility of any releases in the near future is quite slim. She even mentions it in her bio of making a comeback latest by next year. If one could make out of the tweet, the actress has clearly stated in the past that she doesn't seem to rush it, rather she will take her time to announce any future work gradually, check the below tweet for reference. "Sorry for the boring Twitter feed, I haven't decided what to tweet about yet. I'll do my best to interview again next year and try to get a job soon so I can give everyone a good report. I'll try my best to get a job soon and give everyone a good report."

In an earlier tweet, Her agency TPowers mentioned of the comeback . Though I'd say the 31 year old has guts to take up a job like this amidst the ongoing turmoil which as a repercussion has turned the market deadbeat, also considering how she is past her prime and thought of giving it a second chance. It would be rather interesting to watch what Elly makes out of it. If you're a fan of big breasts like our fellow writer Oppai, there might be something of interest in it for you.

AV Veteran Celebrates Her 34th Birthday

Let's admit it, there are a handful of active actresses in the industry whom you just can't hate. Take for instance the next one on the list, who certainly gives off a similar vibe. Like Arina, mentioned earlier in the column, an Ideapocket exclusive Airi Kijima turned a year older. Now 34, the former Ebisu Muscats showstopper has spent almost close to a decade in the AV business. 

On her birthday the veteran actress took to her Twitter to reflect upon her journey in the adult industry.  "Today is Kijima Airi's birthday. It's been about 10 years since I debuted at the age of 24. Thanks to the blessed environment and the kind-hearted  met, my life has continued to shine brightly! Thank you so much. To all of you who have given me a wonderful place to live, I wish to bring smiles to your faces. I hope I can bring a smile to all of you." the actress was full of gratitude in her birthday post as it seemed.

In her time in the industry, the actress now in her mid 30s has had quite a journey. Airi ushered into the industry with IPZ-158 released in June 2013, almost a decade ago from now. Since then the former Muscats idol has remained quite loyal to her foremost office and paid the deeds that in turn has cemented her place as a global star on the silver screen. In the erstwhile, Airi had picked up a few projects here and there and now enjoys dual exclusivity with multiple studios, namely Attackers and Ideapocket. 

The infatuation of her fans knows no bounds, as within a couple hours since she made the tweet using the hashtag #希島あいり生誕祭 , it went viral to the extent that it started trending on Japanese Twitter, all thanks to her fans! The fans were joined by quite a few prominent figures from the industry like Sakura Tsukishima etc in wishing the actress on her special day. Though Airi celebrated her birthday on the 23rd, wishes had already started pouring in prior to that.

"Thank you for all the letters and congratulatory messages! Thank you very much! I got a surprise birthday present from my favorite Sami and Rina the other day!"

Airi received a set of goodies on her outing at a radio show earlier, it was quite thoughtful of the hosts where to make her feel special during the meeting. As if that didn't make the celebration any sweeter, earlier this month the actress lauded her fans and thanked them on achieving an extraordinary feat, Airi now proudly boasts 800k plus followers just on her Twitter, that's close to a million or in practicality if you combine all the followings from her socials it's certainly a possibility. 

"The last live concert of the year held the other day. This is her 7th time to perform. To all the people who always watch and listen to our performances and all the supporting members and staff. Thank you very much. I hope to be able to deliver Kiji's music to many people in various ways again next year."

It was indeed a busy month for the 34 year old who had several outings this month including performing live infront of audience for the seventh time and what might have been her final performance for this year in the presence of her fans ever since she turned solo. Seems as if, Airi is too attached to her vocal skills and can't let go of her slightly safe for public talent that she picked up during her time at the Ebisu Muscats. You're never too late to wish her for her birthday. Drop a wish for the actress in the comments below.
