JAV News Roundup - September Edition - Volume 2

Resumed from Part 1

Shoko Ohtani Quits AllPro

Fans speculating Shoko Ohtani's whereabouts must be in for a shock, considering the 27 year old hasn't been much active in the adult circuit lately. Having risen to fame with her superheroine roles under GIGA's banner, Shoko with her 5'11 stature made a distinct place for herself in the industry infested particularly by average sized actresses, taking into fact that tall actresses are quite a rare breed in the adult business. In an exclusive interview with ZENRA, Shoko shared her experience of working with GIGA. As a studio that demands physically straining roles from their actresses, she managed to cherish the experience filming under the banner and if ratings are to be believed the studio-actress pair blew out some crazy good JAVs in the past, among which GHKR-091 certainly stands out to be the most hyped out of the lot, hands down. The former AllPro exclusive spilled some gossip worthy details in the interview, make sure to check it out.

The former GIGA actress revealed that it was her friend who suggested the new stage name in the following tweet. "From now on, I will continue to work under the name of Tachi Aoi. Aoi is a tall flower that blooms in midsummer. A friend gave it to me. Even if the name changes, I will do my best as before, so please continue to support me."

Shoko revealed over the weekend that she quit the office and made changes to her stage name. Earlier known as Shoko Ohtani, the 27 year old decided to reconsider being called Aoi Tachi. In japanese, Aoi is assumed to be a tall flower that blooms in midsummer, striking resemblance to her stature. Having amassed a considerable fanbase under her alias, the former GIGA star didn't spill much beans on her christening, but if fan speculations are to be believed, it might just have to do with her gradually deviating from her AV career and focusing more on her newfound love for stripping. Makes sense why she broke the longstanding affiliation with her office AllPro.

"As of today, I will be leaving my agency All Pro and quitting Shoko Otani.Thank you to everyone who supported me and everyone who got along. From now on, I will use this @tachi_aoi0708 account for free, so please take care of it."

While we don't have much clarity regarding her future proposition to continue working in the adult business, it's safe to assume that she'll manage both her roles as an adult star and a stripper, simultaneously, without  hinting on a possible retirement, as it's uncomfortable for a fan to digest the fact that your favorite idol's retirement seems inevitable. In the recent future, although she might not completely cease to feature in AV, it's a fair possibility that Shoko might narrow down on the frequency of works, featuring in a JAV once in a while to not be overwhelmed with work. However, one could always find her serving tables at SOD's syain bar or working her stripper gigs in different prefectures of the country. As is, things come with pros & cons and as fans we have no way but to accept it. Taking into factor her height, she might just roll out a stripper JAV in the future. What roles would you like Shoko to play in future? Comment your thoughts down below.

Yukino Nagase Leaves AV Within Two Years Of Debut

Following a short hiatus from Twitter, Yukino Nagase emerged on the platform subsequently having not filmed an AV for over three months, the latest being released in June under Teppan's banner. The 23 year old broke her retirement news earlier this month, amidst the disheartening reception of fans and compatriots alike. In her statement to the fans Yukino was quoted saying 

"I, Nagisa Yukino, will leave my agency, Alvirosso, as of today."

Although her fans speculated that Yukino's career had taken a hit, since majority of the actresses in the industry are out of work due to the gruesome measures that the industry has taken after the law enactment, compelling independent actresses to go out of work since she was not bound to an exclusive contract were soon made aware of the fact, that rather her intentions to retire had more to do with Yukino's focus on career goals beyond AV, as she cleared rumors off the air regarding her intentions behind bidding farewell to the adult business. "The main reason is that I have other work I want to do and a big goal. For that reason, I am not thinking of doing any more filming work for adult videos, image videos, etc. in the future."

Fans who anticipated the 23 year old actress's comeback were treated to the disheartening news "I'm really sorry for those who said they're waiting for my return, but I'm going to do my best in my new place, so I'd be happy if you could support me."

"I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the office staff who have taken care of me, everyone who has been involved in the filming, and everyone who has supported my activities as "Nagisa Yukino"." the actress thanked her former office and colleagues in the departing statement.

Considering that the 23 year old made her debut back in 2020 with E-Body, EBOD-765 her foremost JAV which described her as an I-cup rookie fresh from college, was witness to a barrage of positive fan reception. Not many could digest the fact when they were made aware of her retirement, though. It's pretty obvious from the comments subsequent to her latest tweet. While the adult business is a long term goal for some, it's pretty obvious that Yukino didn't fit the mould. As hyped as her debut was, on the contrary her career was shortlived and it wouldn't be false to assume that the I-cup made her debut fresh from college just to make some good enough money to stabilize her life and thus work as a launchpad for her future ventures and I don't particularly find nothing wrong with that since majority of these rookie girls turn to JAV for some quick bucks and leave the industry when their needs are fulfilled, but also as a repercussion that these actress's bear the fact later on that they become a needle in a haystack just like any other actress with a short lived career and fans have a hard time comprehending if they ever even featured in AV, post their retirement.
