Marica Hase in My Gokkun Anniversary
with English Subtitles

 

We very frequently hear about Japanese AV stars who retire in hopes of successfully entering the mainstream entertainment industry.  They figure all the acting chops they've developed as an adult film star is more than enough to make an impact and become famous in a way that allows them to remain dressed.  In reality, with the maybe *one* exception, this never works.  You may sometimes see a few former AV stars landing subordinate roles in a few drama series and that's about as good as it gets.

Other than that, they may find a slot as a 'talent' on (very) late night variety TV shows that focus around raunchy topics, but going from being bound and spread and squirting in multiple directions, from being the focus of double penetration, from cheerfully swallowing semen gulp after gulp from a never-ending supply of juice-men, from THAT to even a Rola is nigh on impossible.

What *is* possible is making an...ahem...lateral transition.  We've seen it done a few times in the past to mixed success, but there have been instances of Japanese AV stars retiring from one adult industry and entering another one.  The best example of a success story is also the star of a very special gokkun update by RASH that we're showcasing as a book-end release to this year of updates.  It stars MARICA HASE and was filmed towards the tail end of her Japanese AV career.

MARICA has found huge success in the west which is really, really surprising.  Why?  She's got a great face--we'll give her that, but body-wise she doesn't do much to help the 'flat on both ends' Asian stereotype.  We admit we haven't seen much of her western output, but we do wish her the best and going by her actively updated Twitter account, she's having a blast in the states.

MY GOKKUN ANNIVERSARY follows the same trend as a title of the same name featuring RUI SAOTOME we released some time ago.  Rather than being a 'real world' title featuring director RUSHER MIYOSHI and a whole army of anonymous juice men, the ANNIVERSARY series is done totally in POV with you being a mute boyfriend/partner (this varies by scene).

This was a really special RASH gokkun title as it's the first we're featuring that actually contains a full-on sex scene!  Most titles may have gotten awfully close to insertion, but MARICA HASE brought her A-game and ended this one solidly in the world of coitus with--of course--a gokkun finale.

The scenes leading up to the final sex portion were also great though we felt the Pink Salon one went on a bit longer than was necessary.  We're not saying RUSHER should have simply cut out perfectly fine gokkun footage for the sake of a shorter run-time, but it may have been a wiser choice to film less Pink Salon portions initially and use that time to do another type of scene...like one that features outdoor swallowing.

MARICA HASE even before she moved to USA was known as an AV star who'd do pretty much anything.  It's crazy to consider she was once upon a time an innocent gravure model that made the transition to adult video and opened herself up to whatever was offered her way.  Some actresses can be picky in roles, but MARICA both in Japan and now in the states is eager to experience all sides of the sexual equation.

The running time in MARICA HASE's gokkun ANNIVERSARY is an extra longer 138 minutes and features an uncountable (as in we didn't tally them, but trust us when we say it's a lot!) number of instances of cum swallowing.  Expect ample close-ups of her mouth, a wee bit of gargling, but no cum bubbles unfortunately.  Still, this is a really good title for those who like gokkun, but also like it when the actress appears stark naked for a huge portion of the release.  It's also unique for including a (great!) sex scene though we do feel body-wise at least some of the actresses in our previous gokkun updates outrank MARICA.  Then again, if you prefer slim and tiny actresses who give off the 'girl next door gone WRONG' vibe, MARICA's just a click away.
