I personally make a distinction between having movie with the actress and because of the actress. I have a lot of Mao Hamasaki videos, but only one was bought because of her (for most she was 'merely' a co-star of AIKA/HibiHata). To a lesser degree it applies to Yuu Shinoda and an even lesser Kurea Hasumi.

No shoutout for AIKA's youtube channel? She's quite transparent there.

Thank you, I'm not saying that Toro no Ana is in my regular budget, it's a one off really and the most time sensitive thing I want to do while I'm there (before she retires) - other stuff is the classic tourist that was, is and will be.

Thank you very much for your kind thought and I'm glad that you enjoyed meeting AIKA. What you feel tallies with what I feel about her - she has no problem switching in and out of the persona, and if you don't like it - too bad. As for me, I've booked my tickets to Japan for 2 weeks in mid-May (just after Golden Week) and hope to meet her then. Hopefully an event, definitely her hair removal shop (promised her to go when she was still on 17LIVE), maybe Toro no Ana if timing works for her and they're ok with a love hotel (otherwise picking an accepting hotel for such activities is a bit difficult for me as a tourist). I'll tell her about you when I have my zoom call with her (I was promised one for being a regular supporter on her 17LIVE a long time ago, but my Japanese wasn't good enough, then she got super busy and I didn't want to intrude on her time). Now I'd like to call on this favour, but she's abandoned 17LIVE and is super busy, so I don't have good means of getting in touch with her. P.S. Had you known my real name, she'd most likely recall me (As she knows me under that one).

Yeah, went to the fancentro and before the paywall kicked in saw bits of the announcement. Closure of fancentro in march, due to retirement from AV activities.
