Thanks for a great interview and for asking good, pertinent questions. I’ve read so many interviews that have turned out to be lost opportunities because the interviewer didn’t go in prepared enough; or just wasted the subject’s time with nonsense, surface level enquiries. JAV stars are such classy, interesting and multifaceted individuals that they make good subjects for interviews, but sadly the interviewers are rarely up to the task.
In response to Fried Chikan's comment
FC’s Monthly JAV Watch: July 2023Thank you for the response. Sumire was always a more introverted performer in the past, and I think that can really have an impact on an actress's career trajectory unless they know how to harness that quality, or overcome it. Sumire appears to have taken more of a latter approach. Although she appears far from a boisterous extrovert now, she does appear to be more comfortable expressing herself in roles. Maybe that has something to do with her newfound popularity. I don't want to assume too much though, when it comes to Japanese tastes, because their criteria for what they find appealing is so specific to the norms and societal conventions of their own country and are very different to notions in the English speaking world. It could also be something as simple as her face being more appealing to more people. In the past, let's just say Sumire was an "unconventional" beauty; very cute and pretty for sure, but not what you'd confidently describe as an instantly notable looker. Whatever the case might be, I'm very glad people are enjoying her so much right now. She deserves to be popular after years of being kind of a second tier actress. I might even check out what she's been up to of late, although I'm usually very put off by cosmetic surgery - especially breast augmentations. By the way, since so many of our tastes and favorite actresses overlap, I was hoping that you might do a feature on Ai Mukai at some point - something along the lines of a career retrospective, since she's going through something of a renaissance right now. She's had so many great titles since she went exclusive with Madonna.
It’s so weird to me that Sumire Kurokawa is only now getting her dues now and the popularity to match - when she’s been an amazing performers for more than a decade. She had a different name before, and even did a few uncensored vids in the past, but for some reason she’s only popping now it seems, with multiple titles released each month from major studios. I can’t figure out why, though; I loved her in the past when she was slightly thicker, had an even bigger, athletically shaped ass and an even goofier and endearing face, but for some reason she’s reached peak popularity in the last year or more - right around the time I have cooled on her. It’s obvious to me that she had some work done - most obviously her breasts, but I think she did some stuff to het face as well - and she’s thinner than I’ve ever seen her, bordering on appearing emaciated, which has taken a toll on jet legendary ass, but despite this, she’s rocking right now. Don’t get me wrong, I love that she’s getting so much attention and so much work and that people genuinely have around on her when she had always been a second stringer in the past, let’s say; I just can’t figure out what it is that has made her popularity skyrocket at this particular point, when the qualities that make her special was so much more pronounced in the past. Perhaps you could make me understand, Friedchikan. Thanks for another entertaining write-up and some excellent recommendations. It’s actually quite amazing how much our tastes overlap.
Remu has to be the most beautiful girl in the history of JAV. I just can’t think of anyone else who’s as pretty as she is. What makes her even more appealing is that she comes across as genuinely down to earth and approachable, despite being as beautiful as anyone on the planet right now. An added bonus is she’s one of the very, very few JAV stars I can comfortably say genuinely cums in her videos. I am close to 100% certain that her orgasms are real. Remu loses herself in the sex in a way that very few do - almost to the point of it not coming across as a performance, which is remarkable given what a high profile actress she is. The way she’s always looking for a specific angle during penetration is one of the giveaways that she’s in it for her own pleasure, as well as the way she looks utterly spent after an orgasm. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I truly believe that what she’s showing is the genuine article.
Remu Suzumori is probably the most effortlessly pretty JAV actress in history. Has anyone in JAV ever had a face as perfect as hers - at once impossibly symmetrically beautiful, but open and unintimidatingly down to earth at the same time? I'll wait for a rebuttal .I totally agree with Rei Kamiki's inclusion; she's something else - a real knockout, but with a sweet, down to earth quality like Suzumori, although she comes across as a bit shyer. Momo Sakura is a fine inclusion also, but her face has been altered by cosmetic surgery a bit too much in the last few years. At least she still looks like herself, which can't be said for too many JAV stars who's been under the knife or subjected themselves to the injection needle, but absolutely she looked better in the past. Yua Mikami has the same issue: she's still beautiful and a very fine inclusion, but she used to look more naturally pretty a year or two ago. (I'd still include her in my list though, even now). Any list worth its salt should always include Rio (Tina Yuzuki) as well. Maki Hojo is just one of the most beautiful humans I've ever seen and somehow grows pettier as she matures, without seemingly having felt the need to resort to any kind of cosmetic work (the best kind of beauty is almost always the natural kind). Rina Rukawa for me is one of those JAV stars who personifies ero-kawaii (erotic-cute). She's somehow beautiful, pretty and cute at the same time - qualities you rarely see in the same person - and she had a very noteworthy JAV career in the mid-2010s, even enjoying a stint with the Ebisu Muscats, but sadly she appears to have fallen off people's radars, which is really sad and not what she deserves at all. She deserves so much more appreciation, and if it takes someone like myself to bring her back into prominence, I'm willing to do it (hit me up Zenra LOL). I know someone like Kurea Hasumi is thought of only as a sex monster and not really a typical Japanese beauty, but to me she has a very disarming, almost wounded prettiness that I find irresistible. She's so much more than just a legendary fuck machine. Another actress who is underrated in the prettiness department is Aino Kishi. In her case her expressive warmth adds prettiness points to an already impossibly cute face, so for me she has always rated very highly. She's got the kind of face you can't take your eyes off of, even when there's a ton of things happening on screen.
