In May 2021 Minami Hatsukawa announced her retirement from filming JAV. A pretty normal retirement announcement only she did it well in advance. Minami would announce in May and retire in full in April of 2022, nearly a full year later. Retirements in advance are becoming more and more common with Minami knocking her final year out of the park. This is all about Minami Hatsukawa’s Fantastic Farewell Tour.
So-so First Impression
Debuting in 2014 with Moodyz who she’s stayed with for the most of her career. A cute actress with good energy, a slender body, a nice bum, small breasts, and her trademark long light brownish hair. I really glossed over Minami the first time I saw her. She’s my type but didn’t seem all that different from the massive crowd of energetic cuties in JAV. She made an okay but short impression. A vanilla actress that is a fine feature level star. It wasn’t until her terrific final year that Minami really caught my eye and I’m glad I did.
A Fantastic Finale
Minami was a classic featured actress, releasing about 1 title a month. A pretty expected release rate for someone of her level. But when she announced her retirement, the limiters were off. In an 11 month span she released roughly 40 something titles. Easily more than double her normal release schedule. Cramming nearly three years’ worth of work as she rounded out her career. A blistering work rate, her lower half worked very hard this past year. Not only did she run her body red and raw shooting loads of videos, she also ventured outside her usual studio.
Energy and Variety
Minami would go on to work with loads of different big name porn makers. From Fitch, Chijo Heaven, Madonna, bibian, Das, Hon Naka, Premium, Wanz, and so on. Working in dark dramas, lots of lesbian titles, doujin adaptations, team ups, and weird videos to boot. Lots of videos, big time studios, and a more diverse genre of titles. All the makings of a great finish to a solid career. Powering all of this is her super energetic and slutty performing. Minami killed it in her last year in JAV and deserves recognition for it. The best finish to a career in my experience.
Standout Performances
CJOD 315
“GOTO Cheating Travel. The Big Tits Celeb Housewife And The Thick Dude Go On A Trip.”
First is a super slutty title with Chijo Heaven. Minami plays a woman who goes trolling around for ass. Hot slutty sex with random men. Minami was already a solid performer but took on a whole other level in her final year. Becoming especially supremely slutty; so much more aggressive and active. Her kissing, sucking, and blowjob skills in particular; she really likes giving tongue wagging licks. A great face to suck cock or take a facial. I really came around on her looks and Yaeba teeth.
This title will deliver all of that slutty goodness and with fun skimpy outfits. There is a whole cheating premise but really this is just Minami in nice hotel rooms fucking the brains out of the lucky soul in front of her. She also gives a very impassioned rim job that was quite eye opening. I was not expecting to see her go at a man’s butthole with such vigor. It was nice to see. A great slutty title and perfect for showing off her energetic self.
Minami also let open the lesbian floodgates in the past year. Starring in a number of girl on girl titles. She got real comfy with lesbian queen maker bibian these last couple of months. First with them is a gender swapped Nampa pick up title with Minami hooking up with “amateur” women. A pretty fun twist to a well worn genre. And bibian gives her great partners like the super wild Yumika Saeki where Minami gives her a nice dildo rutting.
(that lick to her hand)
But my favorite scene was with Nanako Miyamura. The two ladies just go at it with each other; both getting more and more randy as the scene goes on. Minami plays the dominant party to start but the roles soon reverse until both ladies are glistening wet from furiously fucking each other. Nanako in particular being real into it. There’s a part where she holds down Minami as she’s fingering her and Minami moves her hips into the air. A great lesbian pick up title with our star being more than game with the fairer sex.
Next is a duo title with the ever terrific Kato Tsubaki aka Kaoru Natsuki. The mature actress is a game performer with whatever and has been around the block for a while now. Together the two play women who are beset upon a man who submits them with sex. A dark if normal premise in these submissive titles. However the intense performances by our leads skyrockets the tension and emotion of the video. Minami can do more than play the fun and happy slut, she can get serious when she wants to and serious she gets here.
The first scene gets my highlight easily. Minami and Kato are made to watch as the other gets fucked in front of them. Taking turns as the man moves back and forth. The clear highlight of the entire film; both women give very intense and emotional performances. So hot and twisted to see Kato have to watch as Minami is taken doggy style or Minami helplessly watch as Kato has to deep throat the man’s dick. If a dark and twisted drama sounds like your jam then our ladies have you set with an award winning performance.
The lesbian fun continues with Minami the investigator looking into the shady pair of Reiko Kobayakawa and Mao Kurata. Another dark drama this is much less intense than the last one and is more your typical secret agent video only with these lovely lesbians. With a plot ripped out of the headlines, the mature evil duo was what caught my eye. Reiko and Mao are a sight for sore eyes with their curvy yet slender bodies. This is pure submissive Minami against two experienced milfy babes.
The Reiko and Minami scene is a goodie but the wild finale with all three ladies gets top billing. During a dark night Reiko and Mao have their fill of a very submissive and eager Minami. These are just the tip of the lesbian iceberg with Minami and she has shown herself very comfortable with other women in her career. Also there is a great little shot of Minami and Mao wrestling with each other as their asses are out. Too good to pass up.
Let’s put Minami back in the driver’s seat with a dominant slutty title. Here she plays a woman who takes what she wants anywhere she can get it. And when the men start to moan and grunt she shuts them right up with her mouth. So nice seeing Minami cover up a guy’s mouth as she is excitedly pumping into him with her sweet hips. We are placed into a variety of scenarios from a nurse’s office to a jealous office lady, to a horned up bath house customer. A lot of the sex is also pretty risky taking place in public situations.
Dominant slutty Minami plus her lewd mouth and ample ass; yes please. She’s fun, happy, bubbly and her ass gets lots of focus. A nice slim slender body she has nice hips and an ass that she has toned just as nicely. A sweet rounded and firm ass with her fine smooth skin. If you are looking to check out her ass then this is a great place to start with cowgirl sex aplenty. This might be my favorite overall title from her final run. It has the full course of Minami and her aggressive but cheeky sluttiness is at it’s best here.
Next up is hateful soapland sex. A combo you see here and there but Minami very expressive face sells it all. She plays a women who gets found out and is made to have sex with a man she knows. All her faces of shock, disgust, and hate; make the video all that much sweeter. There is a moment where he has her suck and lick him all over even his toes. She takes a moment out when he isn’t watching to spit out from her mouth is revulsion. A great acting job by Minami and her face. This hateful sex filled soapland video might interest you.
Minami also got pretty weird in capping things off. Here she plays a beautiful schoolgirl who gains a big fat cock (with a cameo by Akari Mitani). Minami and futa; not a video I expected to see from her. Nor is it something I’m into but it was too out of left field to not include. Where else will you see her jerk off her cock with another man’s dick. She also has a fake massive balls video that features a whole lot of (fake) cum. Regardless it shows that she was much more adventurous and weirder she got with her videos in the final stretch of things.
Finally we end things off with her retirement video with a callback title that harkens back to her debut video. Minami has come a long way; both physically and as an actress. This is pretty standard retirement stuff which works with the debut theme too. Interviews, shots of her past, and many glamour shots of cute ol’ Minami. However I have to give a shout out to the blow job scene. It is fantastic. Minami not only shows off her mouth and tongue skills but looks great doing it. Wearing a beautiful white and lacy dress; she looks amazing. So innocent and pretty in that white outfit. It makes the dick sucking all that better. A fitting end for this actress and with her debut studio no less.
Ending
And that closes out Minami Hatsukawa’s Fantastic Farewell Tour and what a tour it was. I can’t think of many actresses who went out with a bang like this. A long time tame and vanilla actress going on a final and erotic journey; exploring all sorts of things. All while giving it her all and really pouring her heart into her performances. Minami is a great slender cutie with long hair, a nice bum, and that classic Yaeba teeth. Her sheer energy and enthusiasm has to be her best trait however. If you glossed over Minami the first time around I suggest revisiting her final year. She surprised me and maybe she can for you too.
