Mino Suzume Denies Marriage Rumors
Mino Suzume has a physique more suited to a professional gravure model, supported by her 168 cm height (quite tall for an average woman). However, it turns out that she prefers a career as a JAV artist, and even once abandoned her intention to become a gravure model because she felt she did not fit in.
In an August 2019 digital photo book, Suzume Mino made her debut as a nude gravure model. Her attractiveness immediately caught people's attention. She herself used to be a prepare nutritious cuisine as a nutritionist. Suzume later added teaching gymnastics to her list of careers because she enjoyed both yoga and physical activity. Suzume Mino also adores Ebisu Muscats and looks up to Rio (Tina Yuzuki). Monta Mino, a well-known Japanese television broadcaster whom she met on the Shinkansen train to Tokyo, inspired the moniker "Suzume Mino," which she adopted. She initially went by the name "Suzune," but since it was mispronounced as "Suzume," she switched to the incorrectly spelled name.
Suzume Mino officially made her JAV debut as an exclusive FALENO star in November 2019. She was eventually moved to FALENO's Dahlia studio in April 2021 since it was decided that she was more suited for mature female parts. The Dahlia star, one of the most well-known JAV performers, was featured twice in a row in the "8Woman" campaign of her management company, Eightman Pro
News of Suzume Mino's impending marriage to Japanese comedian Akihiro Tabuchi, a member of the comedy team "Indians," surfaced on January 1, 2023. Suzume Mino and Akihiro Tabuchi's closeness has been speculated about ever since their dating images were photographed in July 2022.
Suzume cites via her agency's tweet, "False alarm. Suzume Mino, I play a married woman in my works, but I have no plans to get married in my private life."
Then, in an explanation video, Akihiro Tabuchi himself refuted the wedding plans, even daring to claim he had never met Suzume Mino. Eightman Pro, Suzume Mino's management company, also refuted the rumours, stating that Suzume Mino has no intention of getting married. On record both the individuals have clarified their stance on the rumors and for the time being it seems like an impending joke that repeats itself at the start of the year, rumors of an AV actress pretending to get married.
So, the question is, is Suzume Mino merely Akihiro Tabuchi's girlfriend, or was the explanation just a publicity stunt? No matter if there is a connection, Rintaro, a comedian from the group "EXIT," earlier denied he was married to gravure model Anna Hongo. But it wasn't until three days later that they formally declared their union.
Suzume Mino has not publicly addressed the rejection of her marriage intentions as of yet. Suzume Mino's JAV career will unquestionably stop if the marriage takes place.

Chiharu Miyazawa Makes A Big Revelation
Chiharu Miyazawa, a 26-year-old AV talent, shocked her fans earlier this month when she announced her retirement from the adult entertainment business following a fruitful six-year career. The actress revealed some insider information about her early retirement, selecting the year's end as the ideal moment to leave the business. By the end of December 2023, the actress will have retired. She briefly worked with Prestige in March 2017 and has subsequently appeared in productions from a number of studios, frequently playing younger characters. Because of the roles she picked, the actress immediately achieved notoriety and a sizable following.
”We are pleased to announce that Chiharu Miyazawa will retire as an adult film actress as of December 31, 2023. This is a sudden announcement, but I have been deciding on the timing of my retirement for some time. I am sad to leave the industry I love, but I have had a very meaningful and unrealistically stimulating 6 years in this industry, and thanks to the many encounters I have had with various people, I have grown as a person. Thank you for your support for the rest of the year!”
On 11 January 2023, Chiharu announced her retirement on Twitter captioning the tweet, "This year will be an important year for me. I look forward to working with you until the end" what followed was a flurry of wishes from her fans and peers alike. This will be the last year of the adult actress in the adult business.
Since this will be her final year in the adult industry, it will be interesting to see how she performs and what kind of material she will release in the near future. It certainly adds more significance for her works to outperform and be well-liked by critics than it has ever been in these past 6 years, but fans would like to sit back and enjoy whatever content she produces in the meantime.
After six years of experience in the adult business, the 26-year-old AV professional intends to leave the field to pursue a non-AV career. "I decided that I wanted to move forward with my second life in a new environment and with a new mindset. I have been able to achieve so much thanks to the support of my fans. The warmth of the fans, the kindness of the staff on site, and the trustworthy office have made me love people even more over the past six years." Chiharu extended gratitude to her fans, her agency, and her former coworkers on her official SNS as she announced her retirement. Going forward, the actress plans to host many fan events by the end of the year and has given herself a deadline for doing so. She might not get another chance to express her gratitude to her admirers for their unwavering support over the years, since the former Prestige actress was quoted saying, " wanted to give you time to say thank you in person, so I set a deadline of the end of this year. I hope to hold many events around the country this year, so I can meet you all, say thank you, and retire without a care in the world!"
Since her debut, the actress has become popular in numerous JAV circles. As I noted before, many of them who have been following her work for years are devastated by her retirement. Many of her supporters shared their sorrow about her choice and their wishes for her future on social media.
I think Chiharu's fan gatherings will be a fitting way for her to part ways with her supporters, and her retirement will be a special occasion for those who have followed her career trajectory. What she decides to do next will be interesting to watch. However, fans can shouldn't skip on this Peter Max's release event which the actress is scheduled to attend. It's the first of the many to come.
Chiharu has enjoyed a very prosperous career in the field and has earned the respect and admiration of both her fans and peers. While it’s saddening to say the least but her taking a voluntary exit from the industry is understandable given the amount of time she has spent nurturing her craft. We wish her all the best for her future endeavours and thank her for her contributions to the adult entertainment business.

Mei Satsuki Set To Take A Voluntary Break From AV
In July 2020, Mei began her professional career with DEEP'S studio under an exclusive deal. Unfortunately, her talks broke down in March 2021, leading to her being freed from her contract and switching to working as a freelancer ever since then. She even asserted that despite her absence, JAV films featuring her would still be released till the end of 2023. Hopefully her hiatus will end shortly and she'll resume her activities later.
Mei, an adult actress, recently declared via Instagram story that she will take an indefinite break beginning in April 2023, citing exhaustion as the primary cause of her hectic work schedule. Despite the sabbatical, Mei reassured her fans that she would continue to make AV and that they might anticipate more releases in the future. Although she did not mention "retirement", Mei Satsuki said that she would only return to the JAV world when the desire is there
Mei has expressed her intention to perform in Red Dragon Club rather than sexual films in the foreseeable future, citing the necessity for a platform for her creative expression. She is confident that the Red Dragon Club will provide her this chance, allowing her to perfect her skills and appreciate the change of pace.
Mei's fans are understandably sad to know that she won't be appearing in adult movies for a while, but they are still supportive of her decision. After all, Mei has been a popular adult actress for many years and deserves some rest. Fans are also excited to see the new side of Mei, as the Red Dragon Club will give her the chance to show her talents in a different light.
Overall, Mei's fans are eagerly anticipating her return, and they are all wishing her the best in her break, as well as in her future performances.
The AV star further announced that she will be taking a break from her social media activities. The break will be prefaced by three consecutive offline events, beginning with one at the famed Ramtara Akihabara, a homeground for AV idols.
Mei, who is known for her work in FC2 movies, has had a successful career since her debut in 2020. But fans have been speculating whether this break could be an indication of an early retirement
However, it is too early to draw any consclusions. Mei has always been open and honest with her fans on social media, so it is likely that she will keep them updated on her plans. In the meantime, her fans have been expressing their support, with many wishing her a safe and enjoyable break.
Despite her absence from social media, Mei will nonetheless attend the three events. Fans are asked to attend these outings and show their support by purchasing tickets while they are still available. Even though the gap is just momentary, Mei has to take some time for herself. Taking a pause will help her to reenergize and focus, enabling her to return with more enthusiasm.

Ameri Hoshi Shares Big Update On Her Future
Debuted in December 2017, AV darling Ameri Hoshi, declared a while ago that she will quit her job as an adult film star and start posting independently on fan exclusive sites like Fantia, come January 31. The 30 year old made it clear in her recent announcement that moving ahead, she won't appear in any AVs anymore. Ameri intends to publish uncensored content on her Fantia that is only accessible to her fans via a paywall. Further in the announcement, the actress stated that she will meet with her fans each month for a fan exclusive photoshoot. According to Ameri, this will be legible way for her fans to interact with her and take full benefit of the event.
"So, I trust that those of you who have been following this account will keep following me... I would like to announce. As of January 31st I've decided to leave the office and go freelance! Basically, I will be posting photos, videos, blogs, etc. on Fantia. Thank you very much for your support."
For an actress who has long worked in the AV business, and while her followers find themselves juxtaposed with the current turn of events, it will only be a matter of time when they find themselves thrilled to see her make this move. With the new venture, I’m pretty confident her monthly fan meets and exclusive paywalled content will be greatly anticipated and a regular topic of discussion among her fan circles. The actress even went on to quote, "We will continue to hold monthly photo shoots as events where we can meet each other!
Eventually, we would like to develop offline meetings and date plans, etc. We will continue to do our best in the future, so please give us your warm support!"
The actress reacted to few comments on her announcement tweet, citing that she will prefer to ditch her former stage name in favor of a new one at this stage of her career. It’s likely that she intends to do so considering she will prefer severing ties with her former profession by now.
The adult star made her solo debut with SOD by the end of 2017 and has since appeared in a number of adult films. It’s not that her journey had been smooth sailing ever since she chose to debut, in fact the actress had to take a brief hiatus in the summer of 2020 to recover from a severe spinal cord injury. That particular incident took away almost an year from her active career and what ultimately might add up to the reason why she chose to retire this early and focus on her future goals as a solo performer.
The actress said in an exclusive announcement that she will start sharing exclusive content on her fan account starting next month ie February, giving her followers a deeper peek into her life than ever. On record, Ameri has stated in the past that she will prefer to put her modelling career first in favour of taking a break from JAVs. Further disclosing her intentions to leave the AV business and concentrate on other facets of her career, which in my opinion remains quite apt considering after having spent six years in the business, it gets to a point where it’s taxing both mentally and physically.
The 30 year old’s focus now remains to actively work on developing a devoted fan base, and she intends to use her Fantia account to increase her admirers' sense of intimacy with her, removing any barriers between the parties concerned as she pledged to be as transparent with her followers as she can. Fans could expect her to make posts which delve into both private and professional environment.
Ameri Hoshi has been one of the renowned freelance actress in the industry, and her changing profession is sure to excite her fans. We wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
