JAV News Roundup - September Edition - Volume 3

Trapstar here, reporting live from ZENRA headquarters. Bringing you the latest buzz in the Twitter JAV space in recent days

Miyu Inamori Turns Freelance

At last there is some hope for Miyu Inamori, coming from a three month long hiatus of having not filmed an AV. To make the readers aware, the Ideapocket exclusive had her last release dating back to May, earlier this year, which serves as an omen of bad luck for the former gravure idol from Kanagawa. Currently, as her profession stagnates in ambiguity, Miyu's decision to stand earlier alongside notable members of the adult fraternity to express her concerns regarding the effects  the new law will have on the industry as a whole is a stark reflection of Miyu's own career. To an extent, both the actresses Miyu and her close accomplice Sakura Tsukishima, who recently transitioned to the former's agency have had to face detrimental effects post the law came into practice.

"About 8 offers I received in about 2 weeks before the new law.

After the enforcement of the AV new law
shooting offer

0 contracts in July
0 contracts in August
0 contracts in September

AV New Law Yabasu!
Due to the new law, I signed a month in advance, so I didn't sign a contract in August, so I didn't shoot in September!

The month of zero salary is finally coming
You're seriously coming to kill an actress"

 If I had to fact check, Miyu claimed in one of her tweets that she hadn't signed a contract for three consecutive months since July so if my calculation sits right, readers should expect her next JAV to come out no earlier than November. Although she didn't mention it in the tweet, the fact stands clear that Miyu wrapped her shooting schedule in June subsequently after the law came into practice. Moreover, the 33-year-old also emphasised in her tweet, the volume of offers she used to receive prior to the law was passed as opposed to the "zero salary months" she now has to cope with. I will confess that it is somewhat depressing to see adult performers struggle to make a living as a result of the new AV law, but Miyu's adversity is nothing compared to that of her close accomplice Sakura's, who lost her lease on a home owing to inaction over the new rule. As soon as word spread that the former Ideapocket talent had severed relations with the studio and chosen a fairly unconventional path by becoming independent, sales of her first JAV with the label abruptly surged and began trending on her FANZA page. 

Skip to September 20th, the Capsule agency talent informed of lifting her creampie ban in an upcoming AV with Honnaka, "Wow! Thank you! It's my first time! Everyone look". While her agency didn't put forth any comment on their Twitter pertaining to the matter, it's rather unconventional to fathom how subtly Miyu managed to move further as a freelancer without jeopardizing her ties with the former employer. An official statement has not yet been released, just so our readers are aware. 

While most would assume, since the start of the zero salary month, Miyu's circumstances might have turned dire, which is far from the truth given that these actresses have a life outside of AV, which in and of itself is an extension of their personality that stems from AV, and there seems no strain on her financial budget, in contrast to the fact that they make two to three times more than what they do in AV by extending their services as a hostess in upscale adult-only bars. Recently, a discreet customer tipped off Miyu handsomely, check the picture below for reference. 

"Yesterday, I went to Roppongi to prove that Miyu Inamori is number one. I went to the famous Red Dragon. It was dream time

And thank you Tsukishima Sakura-chan for supporting me. Also thank you for the support drink"

Hinata Marin Finds A New Studio

Last week we covered Hinata's story in our column and it had a lot of readers speculating on her next move after the former S1 star recently cut ties with the studio. Now, fast forward to two weeks and amidst much speculation and a Twitter poll predicting the future of S1's former poster girl, we might just have an answer to our fans questions. On September 13th, a Twitter account ran a poll on their official handle, asking their followers to predict Hinata's future destination. While the majority assumed either Ideapocket or E-Body, the truth was far from reality.

Skip to a week later, TPower's ultimately revealed their top performer's next destination, followed by Hinata putting an end to rumours with this tweet. The bikini clad actress wrote,  "Became exclusive to Premium. Best regards!", posting a pic of her in Premium's swim suit giving subtle hints on her new employer. Fans had a biased reaction to the move, but I comprehend Hinata would be well-suited at Premium, contemplating it's time for her to experiment in this new league of career. Although they don't have the same range of critically acclaimed titles as top JAV studios, it's undeniable that PREMIUM has a pretty good roster of elder sister type actresses and have made some really good JAVs over time. It's still fair to say that Premium might actually be what Hinata has been looking for lately. I kind of anticipate the actress delivering quite a few older sister type performances in the near future.

However, the question still persists, How will S1 cope with it? Well, to be obvious I don't particularly feel this is a big loss for the studio. Agreed, that Hinata was a poster girl for them for a while but so have been certain actresses in the past. For a fact, S1 never really took a blow post a top performers graduation, it's just that they've an endless supply of fresh faces being added to their roster every single month. This realisation led me to wonder what may have prompted Hinata to test the waters and push for a move as I comprehend and also as the actress was quoted referring to in her farewell statement. To iterate, S1 is still in a good spot considering most of their top tier performers such as Yua Mikami & Rara Anzai haven't cut ties or called it a day on their respective careers. So, I don't see S1 losing out in the long run. 

PRED-442 | Marin Hinata Creampie Ban Lifted

In retrospect, Hinata might've just fulfilled her wish of starring in a nakadashi JAV, not to mention that her debut performance with PREMIUM set to release on 18th next month, features the actress getting creampied raw multiple times in front of the camera. While having lifted the creampie ban seems like a good start to her tenure with PREMIUM, fans would certainly be glad to indulge in a variety of JAVs in the future that weren't possible earlier with S1 as her tattoos came in between. Now that she has got rid of those, I won't mind a girl on girl scene with Karen Yuzuriha or whatever gels well with our readers. Comment down your thoughts below.

Shimiken Dissolves His Marriage

It seems impossible to move ahead with the column without mentioning the latest headline that came our way from AV veteran Shimiken, who quite subtly disbanded his three year legal relationship with his writer wife, Hachu. Shimiken was cited in the joint statement saying that the couple shared custody as the two further discussed their future as a couple on their respective Twitter accounts.

Screengrab of Shimiken's tweet

"At this time, I have decided to dissolve my common-law relationship with Hachu-san and go my separate ways.

From now on, I will continue to pour my deep affection for us all while cooperating as a partner, not as a husband and wife.

We sincerely thank everyone who supported us."

With her public statement on the divorce that she put on her personal blog, Hachu-san, now the ex-partner of the AV legend and a modest and established writer in her own right who had previously published several of her works on the Amazon marketplace, attracted a good amount of attention when she posted her own testimony.

"To everyone who always supports me. I would like to inform you that I have dissolved the de facto relationship with my husband.

Currently, we live separately from Mr. Shimiken. We reached a break as a couple and decided to dissolve our relationship as husband and wife. Recently, I have frequently posted pictures of my fam spending time on social media, and there is no truth in these things. 

It's been eight years since I met him, but I still respect his work ethic and think he's a cool and proud dad. However, I decided to announce it because I want to honestly tell those who support me that our relationship and lifestyle have changed.

I am truly grateful to my followers and readers who always watch over me when I worry about various things such as school and work, and give me advice and support . Thank you to everyone who has told me how much they love my fam. I would be happy if you could support the new start of the three of us."

Hachu-san further added that she has full custody and that the couple decided to dissolve their relationship mutually due to a clash in their lifestyles, supporting the actor's claim that it is not in any sense a conventional divorce. Something perceived as quite negative in that part of the world. Irrespective of what most believe, the disbandment won't affect their kid's future as the former couple kept implying on their public statement that the move is to benefit the prospects of the couple.

Shimiken is somewhat of a celebrity figure in Japan, so having to take care of fam around-the-clock and maintaining his public image might just take a toll on the actor, who was recently quoted as saying in a blog post that his mental condition is not up to the mark.

The split raises the question of who gets to have custody? However, as of the time of writing this column, it was made clear that it remains on the maternal side and it's fitting given that Shimiken is a celebrity figure. Maternal custody will allow a certain level of privacy that might not have been possible under Shimiken, which compels me to emphasize the fact that he was able to maintain his private life in the background for so long. It is still a commendable accomplishment in and of itself. Given their circumstances, the couple may decide to co-parent going forward and pursue an open relationship, which seems to be the only viable option at their disposal. Quite frankly, even that seems like a task for Shimiken who has his existence constantly monitored by the public eye and it won't be unfair to agree that this guy carried the whole industry on his shoulders at a time and admitted to having sex multiple times a day with multiple different women. It's commendable how Shimiken scaled his career trajectory from a crap eating pornstar to now, literally owning an empire, besides his failed stint at running a restaurant. Alas, I don't even wanna go there! 

Don't let this column fool you into believing he's a recluse in any way. On the contrary, Shimiken enjoys his fair share of limelight as he was recently spotted attending Emi Fukada's event. The guy also turned 40 recently, seems like he just doesn't age.
