BREAKING: Amami Tsubasa's Last Dance At IDEAPOCKET, Sora Amakawa To Quit JAV After Finding Partner & More!
Here's a rundown of some of the top stories we'd our eyes on in October
After 2 Years In The Industry, SOD's Caucasian Hottie Seems To Be Done With JAV
Part Asian, part caucasian JAV babe from Australia, Ema Chiziru has announced the suspension of activities come December 23, this year. The news comes just two years and six months after SOD first revealed her in a SOD Star JAV, leaving fans and industry insiders yearning for more.
She began the tweet with, "I will retire as an AV actress on December 23, 2024. It has been three years since I first signed the contract, and my active period was only two years and six months"
Taking to Twitter to express her gratitude to her supporters and the industry that has nurtured her career. “It has been a short period, but I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with me even a little,” she wrote. “To all the fans who found Chizuru Ema and supported me, thank you very much for always sending me warm messages.”

The decision to retire so early in her career isn’t convincing enough and this gives way to certain rumors. While in her statement, Ema has not explicitly stated her reasons to cease filming JAVs, many are wondering if personal or health issues may have played their part in convincing her to do so. Few have also suggested that she may be pursuing new opportunities or simply seeking a change of pace.
Regardless of the reasons behind her decision, she has promised to make the most of her remaining time in the industry as I could make from her statement. So the scoop is that she plans to hold as many events as possible and express her gratitude to as many people as she can. "In the remaining two months, I would like to hold as many events as possible and express my gratitude to as many people as possible! If you have time, please come and see me."
The final event where fans can meet her will be SODLAND on December 23, wherein life comes full circle for the SOD debutante, “I had decided that the end and beginning of Chizuru Ema would be with my beloved SOD,” she wrote. “Thank you very much for loving Chizuru Ema for two years and six months.”
While fans may be saddened by Ema’s retirement, they can rest assured that she will always hold a special place in their hearts. Her contributions to the adult entertainment industry will not be forgotten, and her legacy will live on for years to come.
Airi Momose Is The Latest To Retire From The Industry
Not as well known as Ema Chiziru, we’ll see another actress bite the dust this fall. Airi Momose just dropped the scoop on her retirement that she will be retiring from the industry on October 19, 2024. "To all my supporters, I will retire on October 19, 2024, and leave my agency, Bambi Promotion." Momose's decision comes as a surprise to many, given her relatively short but successful career.
In a heartfelt message to her supporters, Momose expressed her gratitude for the opportunities and experiences she has had in the industry. "Three and a half years have passed since my debut on April 25, 2021," she wrote. "I was able to do my job thanks to the support of many wonderful people, including everyone who supports me, the managers at the agency, the makers, everyone on set, the male actors, and the other members of the group. Thank you so much."

While the reasons behind Momose's decision remain unclear, there could be a variety of factors at play. I personally think that she may be pursuing new career opportunities.
Airi has assured her fans that she will continue to be active on social media and that she hopes to see them again in the future. "From now on, I will return to the time when I had nothing to do with this industry," she said. "If you see me somewhere, please rest assured that I am doing well. I only have a little time left, but I would appreciate it if you would watch over me kindly."
As news of Momose's retirement spreads, fans, and industry colleagues alike are expressing their sadness and disbelief. Many have taken to social media to share their favorite memories of the actress and to wish her well in her future endeavors. Among them was Coco Hoshino, who remembered the actress in her tweet, "Momo-chan was a junior who was always kind to everyone and had a really cute smile"
Haruki Kaname Ditches JAV For Her Love Of Cosplay
Former JAV actress has decided to turn into a fetish model by revealing that she will be retiring from NAX at the end of May 2025, renowned AV actress Haruki noted in a statement. This certainly won’t sit right with her fanbase.
In a heartfelt tweet to her supporters, Haruki expressed her gratitude for the love and support she has received throughout her time at NAX. "To everyone who always supports me, I will be retiring from NAX at the end of May 2025," she wrote. "From now on, I will mainly be working as a fetish model, subject model, bondage model, cosplay, etc."
Although having made up her mind on quitting AV, the actress has confirmed that she will continue to be involved in the industry, albeit in a different capacity.
"I'm also at SODLAND, and I like naughty things, so I won't leave that," she said. "I'll be changing my name and starting my SNS from scratch." So there’s that, we’ll get to see Haruki in an all-new avatar, and wonder what her name would be.
However, she has assured her fans that she will continue to be active and engaged with her followers. "I'll of course be doing events and individual shoots until May, and I really love AV and being on set," she wrote. "I'm sorry that I'm so clumsy that I'm late in putting my words in writing."
The actress has also thanked her fans for their congratulations on her second anniversary. "There's not much time left, but please continue to support me until the end," she said.
People are reacting to her retirement tweet at the moment with it having raked views in double digits, fans and industry colleagues alike are expressing their sadness and disbelief. Many have taken to social media to share their favorite memories of the actress and to wish her well in her future endeavors.
While Haruki's departure from NAX is undoubtedly a significant loss for the studio, we’ll have to wait & watch as to who NAX will consider replacing her with in the future.
With Retirement On Horizon, Is Amami Tsubasa Set To Return To IdeaPocket?
In our last column, we’d mentioned how Mai Tsubasa ditched S1 for good and now she’s officially a Faleno girl. But as much as I like talking about her this column unexpectedly is about another Tsubasa, Tsubasa Amami has revealed that she will be taking an indefinite break from her career starting in November 2024. The news comes as a major shock to fans who have followed her for over a decade.
Amami, who has been a mainstay in the JAV industry for 15 years, said that she still has three fan events scheduled before her hiatus. "There are three events left this year. I will be taking a break from November with no plans to return. I'm looking forward to enjoying the remaining month." while also expressing her desire to savor the remaining moments of her active career.
本日、天海つばさとしてデビュー15周年となりました🥰

愛してくれてありがとう🥰
年内、イベント残り3回となります🥰
11月より復帰未定でお休みに入ります😌
残り1ヶ月楽しんでいこうと思います🥰
いつも、ありがとうございます🥰
たくさんのお祝いのメッセージありがとうございます🥰 pic.twitter.com/TAUi75wM3k
"Today marks the 15th anniversary of my debut as Amami Tsubasa. Thank you for your love. Thank you as always, and thank you for all the congratulatory messages."
Speculation was rife regarding the reasons behind Amami's decision, and several fans pointed to the recent halt of her JAV movie release at Tameike Goro on September 17, 2024. Instead, Amami chose to return to her "old home," IdeaPocket, where her 15th career anniversary special JAV movie was shot and released earlier this October
Could this be Amami's farewell JAV movie? While she hasn't confirmed or denied this, many fans are speculating that the special release may serve as a fitting send-off for the beloved actress.
While we recover from the news of Amami's departure, let us just hope that she will return to the screen someday. In the meantime, grab IPZZ-445 from wherever you prefer to get your JAV, that’s all I gotta say.
Sora Amakawa Cites Finding Partner Helped Her Turn Independent
Sora Amakawa took to Twitter on her birthday and let’s just say the famous actress had a lot on her mind. Before we begin let me just reveal that she has announced her exit from the agency that has represented her for years. The news is accompanied by a series of revelations about her finding a partner, career aspirations, and a newfound tryst with independence.
In a lengthy statement that she posted on X, Sora revealed that she has decided to venture into her own lane, citing a desire to take control of her career and pursue her passions. "Today is my birthday! And this time, I left the agency that had been taking care of me and started my own business." While being very vocal of the fact that she had taken a break from social media due to burnout and disillusionment with the industry.
"The reason I stayed away from social media for a long time was because I was tired of the industry due to the salary issue with the agency, so I distanced myself," she wrote. "It's a job that is based on trust. However, when I started to feel distrustful and reached my limit of not being able to digest it, I took the time to think about what it is that I want to do."
In her post, Sora also opened up about her experience working as a JAV actress, admitting that she often felt powerless and unable to make her own choices. She expressed a desire to live a more fulfilling life, free from the constraints of the industry.
"As for why I decided to start a business instead of transferring, I think you all have a vague idea of what happened between my previous agency and this one," she said. "I was a founder of the new AV law and was involved in supporting women in poverty. It was because I wanted to be an ally, even if it was a weak one, of women in a weak position."
本日誕生日を迎えましたっ!

そしてこの度、お世話になった事務所を辞めて私自身で起業する事となりました。
暫く休憩していた理由は自身がやりたい事を真剣に考える時間と同時に学びの時間に充てていました。… pic.twitter.com/UfAgl9k8NN
And, this is perhaps the first time she made it official that she has partnered with Harumi, whom she considers a close friend and confidante, to help her navigate this new chapter in her life. She praised Harumi for her unwavering support and encouragement and expressed a desire to reciprocate. "During the past few years when I struggled with myself, when I pushed myself too hard and lost my mental balance, she was always watching over me and supporting me kindly, and I was able to get by on the edge. Whenever I was in the public eye, she always respected my opinion, and when I made a mistake, she was strict but gave me her opinion and stopped me, and she supported my dreams and always supported me."
Furthermore, Sora revealed her plans to explore new creative avenues, including DJing, cosplay, and anime-related projects. Here's her expressing a desire to share her love of music and culture with her fans. "I have been involved in DJing. I have been to music festivals all over the world, and by experiencing it, I have learned the depth of the music world. I used to listen to music for its melody, but now I'm leaning towards minimalism. Music has saved me many times. I would like to share the world of sound that I have experienced with everyone through events and other events."
Now, as for my future activities, I will be working to express the side of myself that I have not expressed until now. Until now, many people, including producers and directors, have been involved in shaping me. Using my experience so far, from now on, I will select my work, find clients, and walk on my own two feet.
"I hope everyone will support my new start," she wrote. "As in the past, I will also do my best to make everyone happy with my work."
This announcement is sure to spark a wide range of reactions among fans. But we at ZENRA, can't be more glad than the fact that she has found a sense of purpose & independence.
