Can you guys believe that it's almost the end of the year? I hope everyone's looking forward to the holidays and some well deserved rest. I'm looking forward to it along with some awesome content that I have planned to round out the year and into the next year. With that said let's jump right into it.

Top Actresses

We've known about Iori's retirement for some time and it's finally upon us. They've interestingly made a spectacle out of it with it split into a pair of releases. I've often found retirement videos to be lackluster, none more than Hitomi's, so I'm glad to see something like this. Maybe there's a world where we start getting more interesting retirement videos, like who Kaho Shibuya had cosplay, bukkake, and even DP in hers, or Kaho Kasumi who tried anal for the first time. Retirement videos should be a celebration of the actress and let them go out with a bang, giving the fans one last hurrah with the actress. While this one certainly seems more reflective and sentimental than the I might prefer, it's still just unique enough to be captivating compared to how lame most of them end up being.

Miu Nakamura is a name we definitely haven't seen in some time. I know I've commented in the past about how erratic her schedule can be and how it contributes to high sales when she is working, and with her last release three months ago it's not that surprising that fans wanted something. More than that though, she's got a spicy one this time with her first release for Wanz Factory. She's basically been a shared exclusive between Moodyz, S1, and Idea Pocket  (considering that Attackers is also owned by the same people that own IP), so seeing her go outside it is interesting. It's not her first creampie video but this series is excellent and will really give Miu the opportunity to spread her wings a little.

Speaking of Wanz Factory, Alice Otsu (who is up to 14th place) is also going to be filming for them next month. It's obviously not the reason why she's on our physical list this month but there's like a million other reasons why Alice is so popular right now. One is certainly her unique appearance as short, blonde hair is a rarity in Japan. Another is how wild her videos get, from her squirting to anal to deepthroating. More than that though is how awesome of a performer she is, always managing to be very spunky and bring a western feel to it. That last bit is why I think this Wanz Factory video could be insanely good. I always have high hopes when actresses like this take part; if you recall it was not too long ago Mao Hamasaki finally starred in it and I was very hype for hers. I look forward to Alice's entry and I wouldn't be surprised if I was reviewing it on here later this year.

Konan is an actress I'm sure I'll talk a lot about because she's fantastic. She's spunky, sweet, charming, and of course very attractive. With a meatier body that stands up to her big boobs and big ass, it's just such a winning combination. We can see further down the list that SSIS-441 is her most popular release this month. It's actually a video I reviewed already so you know it has to be good. It's definitely something for Konan fans to look at as it mixes a lot of great things together that just work well for her.

Tsukasa Aoi is an actress that often gets overshadowed by her contemporaries but I actually don't know why. She seems like a perfectly enjoyable MILF by S1 standards. Sure she's not Madonna level or anything but not everyone needs to be. She's certainly got a curvy body highlighted by a fantastic ass. I mean just look at that, sweet Jesus is it a nice ass. All I can say is that I think her being on the list makes sense, and if we have to boot Yura Kano or Miharu Usa down the list to make room, so be it. 

Say what you want about Karen Yuzuriha's consistency on these lists but one thing you can't say is how banging her career has been. Being a shared exclusive is personally my favourite way for an actress to go, particularly if they get in with the right studios. A single studio can turn fans away when they don't like a particular release, and being freelance can come with bad opportunities and choice overload. When you shared exclusive for two quality studios the end product is fantastic. We see that with Nao Jinguji (18th on our list) and with Karen, who rose up to 19th this month. Exclusive at Oppai and Premium is a great combination and it's been doing wonders. Her results this month are probably influenced by her Rebecca release, but I still think people are probably underrating her in general. She's just been getting a steady stream of solid releases, and fans of hers should be quite happy with the way things are going.

Top Videos

Look, I get it, big tits are nice. Ria Yamate's tits are amazing, I get it. That doesn't mean I want to watch generic video after generic video. It's like they saw the void left by Rara and decided they could just slot anyone with big enough tits there. I haven't been keeping up with Ria because she hasn't been getting the opportunities, but I'll be damned if I won't check her out once she does. I mean just look at those, what a sight!

In 10th place we have nurse Yua reporting for duty. Regardless of what the actual narrative for the video is, it's hard to argue with someone as attractive as Yua in a nurse outfit. I think that's one of the things S1 excels at, being able to take something so simple and make it worthwhile. Certainly part of that comes from having attractive women on their roster, but they really do them justice. I'm sure a lot of Yua fans will be excited for that one.

Noriko Hoshi having two of our top three spots on the physical side and two of our top 10 spots on the digital side is a bit unexpected, but then again debut actresses tend to dominate the physical sales. We can see some more veterans if we look further down the list, but seeing her up there wasn't who I would have guessed. I suppose people are looking at that photo and thinking she's nice, which I mean, I see it. I might have my huge preference for giant knockers and those aren't giant like Konan Koyoi's (in 4th) but I'll concede to anyone interested in them. Maybe she'll surprise us when she gets some less generic opportunities.

When you look at the small cover you might have absolutely no clue what you're getting into. Trust me I also don't know why studios think they can get away with a cover like that. Or at least, I would if I couldn't read the highlights:

• 中出し - creampie
• 発 - cumshots
• 作品 - works
• 人 - person (actress)
• 分 - minutes

When you put it all together, it's 206 loads of creampie, with 58 actresses, in 15 films, with 3200 minutes of footage. That's a bloody lot of content if you ask me and it explains a lot. Who cares about a hot cover when you know exactly what you're getting, and probably getting a huge bargain on it too. If you're a creampie fanatic, this is definitely the one for you.

One of the things you'll notice with this one is there are some videos that have three entries on the list. DMM pulled the page I was using to get the data on debuts so I had to resort to a different page that has a different set of data. Most notably is that they explicitly show all editions of the videos, and often there are more than just DVD and blu ray. The data might also be a little less accurate than the other page, but who cares, we can still have some good conversations about it.

First up we have Miyu Oguri, placed in 1st, 3rd, and 6th. To say she was popular is an understatement, and boy oh boy has she been selling well. She may not be the one for me among debuts this month but I can see why people like her. She definitely has the cuter style that a lot of people like, with just enough curves to be interesting. I think that combination mixed with the strong preference people have for debuts makes her a pretty easy choice for a lot of people.

On the flip side, the one that has me interested is up in 7th place, Rie Miyagi. Just look at that cover, I'm pretty sure you all know what I'm talking about. While the stat card only places them at E cup, it's at least done well enough to make me interested in her. As I'm sure I've said before, November is really late for debuts and you have to be someone special to make it through. Rie feels like someone who would be on a list for candidates to review in 2023 not for this year, but we'll have to see how the rest of the year plays out as I watch the last few debuts.

With that I hope you'll all excited for the end of the year. I know my debut posts haven't started yet but I promise they'll start before the next sales report goes up. I've got something specially concocted for this year that I hope you'll enjoy. Until next time!
