Eimi Fukada Pulls Off A Feat In 24 Hours

FortyFour's in-house talent, Eimi Fukada might've just pulled off a world record with her 'free hugs' campaign. Held at THE SHISHA HOUSE in Tokyo's Shibuya prefecture, the event witnessed a barrage of fans queuing up all night near the venue just to get a hug from the 24 year old. Such a turnover was justified considering she has over a million fans combined on both the platforms. Considering even a percent of that fanbase pulled up to the venue, it would've been a ruckus for the peacekeeping authorities. Frankly, what guy denies a free hug from Eimi Fukada? One could get a gist of the event's magnitude, that in no time it started trending on japanese Twitter, it was confirmed by the 24 year old later after the event. Her two day stint concluded with Eimi giving out a total of 3163 hugs in a matter of 24 hours, that is kinda outrageous to fathom as she pulled it off despite knowing the health concerns associated with the event.

Throughout the event's tenure, Eimi flipped between four outfits within the consecutive intervals of six hours, initiating with an office lady costume, changing gradually to a yukata, a bunny and a sexy cheerleader. To pull off the feat, Eimi had to take several short intervals accompanied with a lengthy three hour break to keep things smooth sailing. Wonder what the final figure would've looked like if she had not taken the hiatus. It must've been pretty draining for her after a certain while despite not having blinked an eye at night. Crazy how without having took a nap, Eimi constantly kept hugging her fans but to her great luck, certain stars from the industry lined up near the venue to cheer the girl up. Renowned industry faces like Miyu Inamori, Moko Sakura even AV legend Shimiken pulled up to the event to cheer the 'girl of the hour'. Judging by the photographs from the event,  the lot seemed to be in high spirits. On being asked around regarding her intentions upon coming up with such a campaign, Eimi revealed that she wanted the title of 'The World's Most Hugged Woman'. Pretty fair considering that the 24 year old has always been the best at her game. Since debuting back in 2017 as Amami Kokoro,(which she later changed to her current name) the 24 year old managed to feature in over 200 JAV's in such a short while and her performance speaks for itself as she has generated consecutive hits over time. Even so in the midst of the pandemic her sales skyrocketed to an extent that she came third overall in the annual AV ranking by sales that particular year making her the top 30 JAV stars of all time.

"Successfully completed 24 hours of free hugs! 3,163 hugs in 24 hours! Thank you very much to everyone for waiting for 4 hours For waiting for so long and coming to see me, the smiles of the fans when we met, I was saved by the smiles of the people who helped me I was really happy, thank you so much. This plan was possible, thanks to the staff and the people around me who rushed to help me out! It was great seeing you all! Thank you for 24 hours!"

Earlier this year, the 24 year old stirred up a news for flashing a ring on her Instagram story, sparking engagement rumors much to the astonishment of her fans. However, all such claims were later dismissed by Eimi. Subsequently after the event, Eimi tweeted a statement thanking her fans and the staff members who worked tirelessly round the clock to make the campaign a huge success. As commendable as her feat was, we can't brush off the fact that the event turned out to be the way it was because of people who managed to pull off such an amazing feat behind the scenes and as a platform we identify and appreciate their effort. By the way, the disheartened fans who couldn't make it to Eimi's campaign this time around, I certainly have a good news for you. Eimi teased a tweet indicating there might be a future installment in the works. To get an in depth experience of what really went during the campaign, our fellow staff writer, 'OPPAI LOVER 69' has done a superb job at covering the nitty gritty of the event in his column. Make sure to check that out as well.

Kurea Hasumi Breaks Silence On Retirement 

Amidst much controversies and perturbed fans, legendary AV actress Kurea Hasumi has decided to call it a day on her AV career. The former SEXY-J band member rather subtly made an announcement pertaining to her retirement, despite the hullabaloo brewed up by her anxious fanbase. However, what shocked me particularly is the fact that how she managed to keep her decision in the dark for so long, being a celebrity of her stature. Deemed as a 'Hall of fame' actress in her ten year stint with the industry, the 30 year old managed to keep her retirement news under the radar. Furthermore, what shocked most fans as they stood conflicted is the fact that her office AllPro, couldn't manage to cast her in a retirement JAV in the final days of her adult careeer, which frankly would have been a fitting gesture for the departing star.

"Since debuting on September 25, 2012
Kurea Hasumi in September of this month!  It's finally the 10th anniversary!
A commemorative event will also be held at HARU! And I will be leaving the AllPro on 2022/9/25, who has been very helpful to me after retiring from AV shooting. I will continue to work as Hasumi Kurea. I wonder if I'll do something different. Until the 25th!  Nice to meet you "

That makes WAAA-113, Kurea's final work as an AV actress, as far as I recall. The WANZ exclusive that hit the store shelves on November 2nd last year, had the fans go gaga since two of the best man eaters (pun intended) Kurea Hasumi & AIKA collaborated for a movie, in a while. Kudos to WANZ Factory for pulling it off as it remains among Kurea's final works that fans could get a hold of. Recently, hopping on paywall protected fan sites has become the go-to alternative for independent adult performers to sustain their livelihood, as seemingly was the case with Kurea, since most of her affilates from the office AllPro were making bags on it, but more recently she shut that down leaving her baffled fans with just one access i.e to have a drink with her at her recently opened bar at Kabukicho. Like one of our fellow writers did recently and had some crazy insider scoops to share, watch out for his column in future. Also, he recently penned down his very first JAV review for the blog, show the guy some love!

Back to the article, Kurea holds a conflicted interest shuffling between professions, that of an adult performer and owning a bar. Since she recently donned that hat, it seems as if the former AllPro talent has figured out a way to channel all her chi to the food & beverage venture and is already making a bag off of it. To be honest, considering myself a fan, I don't buy the idea of her making a comeback in the near future although I'm not denying the proposition, but if I factor in her current schedule, the chances are certainly slim. Having debuted back a decade ago on September 25th with Chijo Heaven's bannner, Kurea has come full circle in her adult career.  Recently, the AllPro talent affirmed on her retirement tweet that she'll be bidding farewell to the business in style, throwing a banger at her bar HARU to commemorate her tenth year in the industry cum retirement. What a way to go out girl! Here's hoping she achieves more success and thrives at her new venture, we at ZENRA collectively wish Kurea luck for her future endeavours. Indeed, we'll miss watching her on screen.

Hinata Marin Graduates From S1

Moving ahead with the column, S1's poster girl Hinata Marin dropped a bomb on her Twitter recently. Addressing to her followers the TPower's talent revealed that she had graduated from the office helmed by industry veterans like Yua Mikami and Rara Anzai. Having featured in over 44 titles for the label over a period of three years, Hinata had her first go at acting with SSNI-528 back in July 2019. Since then, the 25 year old babyface idol has collected several accolades for the brand with her tremendous rise to fame until recently she decided to end affiliations with the office. With Hinata leaving the esteemed group, some might speculate that this might be a drastic loss for S1 to let go of an actress who commands major star power. While I can't rationalize that S1 is affected by any means post having ended the affiliation, it's safe to assume that they're in a good spot since most of her contemporaries like Yua Mikami, Rara Anzai who collectively make the studio a heavyweight and account for a majority of their sales, are still in business.

"I will be graduating from S1 this month. After all, after 3 years, there were some changes in the fans, so I was depressed, but thank you very much to all the fans who supported me even once. Finally, I am very happy to be able to participate in the S1 campaign. When I was disappointed that the FANZA Awards weren't held, S1 gave me a trophy, which made me really happy. I've done my best for 3 years, but I think there are many things to learn and challenges from now on, but please continue to support me. ,
*Don't worry, I'm not retired.*"

Well speaking of contemporaries, Hinata mentioned one of peers Arina Hashimoto in her graduation post, "I'm really happy to be able to co-star with my favorite Yua Mikami and Arina Hashimoto." the latter who earlier joined Moodyz and had a whole name change. So, does that in any way imply that Arina's decision triggered Hinata to leave the office? To be honest, if possibilities are to be contemplated, we can't reach a judgement this early until she clarifies her intentions of joining a new studio. "The only thing I regretted about being at the manufacturer was Beauty Venus, since last year I thought I would be next, so I regret the infection" Some fans have already considered the idea of her playing a lesbian role in the near future since the TPower's talent implied interest to debut under Venus's banner earlier but her plans to work for the office never took off as the COVID pandemic annulled any such scope. 

"I was really happy that I was able to stay as an exclusive for 3 years while it was difficult to survive in a manufacturer where two newcomers debut every month,"​​​​the Tokyo based actress frankly stated her reason behind cutting ties with S1, citing that she got a bit uncomfortable with the turnover of debutants every month at her former office.

"The reason why I was able to do sexy cosplay from Funapre was because I finished erasing my tattoo. I've been refusing FANZA chat and YouTube for a long time because of my tattoos. Once again, I would like to thank Aki Ono and Mochi for their hard work in erasing. I have nothing to hide anymore, so I want various jobs"

Rumors were ripe pertaining to the 22 year old taking help of lasers to remove her tattoos. Something which was part of her personality ever since she debuted and gave her the distinct identity. "I actually have 7 tattoos. But I wanted to wear a dress for the awards, and I wanted to do my best in AV seriously, so I erased everything with laser treatment." The former S1 star  later addressed the fans in the statement, further adding that tattoos were kinda setting her back from reaching her full potential as an adult performer and would often face grievances from her studio for being cast in several roles. Considering  the industry's reception of tattooed actresses, it's safe to assume that Hinata got rid of those for good, to be taken seriously in the business.

SSIS-514 | Indecent Sexual Intercourse With The Best Mistress

Fans speculating about her graduation work with S1 are in for luck. The makers recently teased Hinata's final performance with the studio. Shot in 4K, the JAV does justice to the departing actress as she plays a mistress seducing her way into the hearts of her sugardaddies with certain gut wrenching oral simulations that S1 very frankly describes as "a kiss that melts your tongue"  throughout the runtime and drools one over with her lingerie, that the makers handpicked for the shoot.
