BREAKING: JULIA Has A Surprise Up Her Sleeve On Her 14th Anniversary & Ichika Matsumoto Turns Triple Exclusive!

Here's a rundown of some of the top stories that happened in April



Hey there, I’m back again with the latest scoop on your favorite JAV stars. For this month, we’ve the ever-intriguing Ichika Matsumoto.

For the uninitiated, Ichika is all set to team up with the busty Maria Nagai for DASS-393 this April 23rd. Well, that collab's still on, but hold on because there's more to the story. Seems like Ichika-san has got another flick lined up for release on the same date – CJOD-421. Now, hold on a sec, a JAV flick from Chijo Heaven doesn't exactly ring a bell, does it? That's because, unlike DASS, it's not one of Ichika's usual studios.

So why does Ichika choose to appear in a JAV by the studio? It’s likely so that she has signed an exclusive contract with Chijo Heaven, making her a triple threat across three studios! This move is sure to have sent shockwaves through the industry, and for good reason.

But what’s even more intriguing is that the mastermind behind this isn't Ichika herself, but her mentor Tomoko P., the boss lady at Moodyz & Honnaka studios. Now, Tomoko and Ichika go way back. Tomoko's been Ichika's biggest supporter for years, remember the whole follower-boosting challenge that went led to Ichika’s Twitter being shadowbanned last month? Yeah, that was Tomoko's brainchild.

Tomoko believes this "business deal," as she calls it, is the key to propelling Ichika's career to even greater heights. Ichika, although surprised, seems pretty pumped about the challenge. Here's the thing, fellas: signing an exclusive contract doesn't mean Ichika's suddenly gotta churn out movies for all three studios at once. Think of it like Mina Kitano or Riho Fujimori – they juggle multiple studios too, but strategically pick and choose projects.

That's Ichika's plan, and she's hoping her fans will stick by her side through this new chapter. Speaking of new chapters, Ichika's debut flick with Chijo Heaven is set to drop on April 23rd on FANZA, code CJOD-421. Mark your calendars, fellas, because this could be the start of something big.

So, what do you think? Is this a power move by Tomoko, or a recipe for disaster for Ichika? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure, the industry's abuzz with this news. And hey, that's what keeps things interesting, right? Until next time, fellas, stay tuned for more exclusive updates from your favorite industry insider! Meanwhile, keep up with her on X.

In the JAV industry, the average life expectancy of a female talent is close to a year, and to be able to last until the 14th anniversary is really very, very impressive, so on April 13t, various film studios consecutively wished Julia, a happy 14th anniversary of her debut on their social media channels!

"Speaking of which, Today, 13 April, is the 15th anniversary of my debut! (I found out about it through a post by the manufacturer). 15 years, huh... That's amazing. I'll give myself a compliment. Let's eat and drink good food. (Was yesterday's three-course meal with sea urchins a celebration of 15 years since my debut?)"

First of all, let's talk about her current situation, at present nominally she is the exclusive female talent of Wanz Factory, but there's quite a lot of studios even now that'd cooperate with her. So far this year, they are Wanz Factory, Premium and these several film companies, so in reality, she is the exclusive female talent of the five film companies right now and then every month she pick two of the film companies to shoot AV with. This is an interesting way to play it. Recently, Mina Kitano and Riho Fujimori have also been using this mode of releasing films that are exclusive to multiple distributors, but only picking two of them to release every month, but without JULIA initiating this trend, there wouldn't be many actresses following suit.

Now, it's obvious that her 14th anniversary would raise issues about her retirement, it happens so as per a source, her agent briefed that the 38 year old does not want to retire, on the contrary, she is still very passionate about overseas. So, is there any chance that Julia will head to Taiwan in the upcoming months?

As I said before, she really wants to return to the TRE stage, but since she couldn't appear on stage in 2020 due to the epidemic, she fell off the list last year. We've all been watching TRE for a long time, and it's really quite common for an actress to fall off the official list and then make a comeback, the very next year. But that was due to a dispute over the actress's record; in Julia's case, her return to TRE will depend on whether or not a booth invites her, and although given TRE's track record to attract some big names in the industry, I haven't yet heard of any co-operation agreements between Julia and any studio so far ~ but that doesn't mean that the 38 year old is not a good candidate.

However, it doesn't mean that Julia refuses small offline activities, a source quoted that if there are companies inviting Julia, as long as the pay and the work content is reasonable, Julia should be quite happy but the fact that she has started showing signs of aging and that in Taiwan, mature actresses usually don't sell well, will this be a setback for Julia?

I don't want to offend anyone but, I think Julia is still quite capable of putting on a show but she has obviously aged, the loss of collagen has made her face sink in quite a bit, and her tits have shrunk a bit compared to her heyday, but I think she keeps herself well maintained, although it’s evident she is gradually being replaced by the likes of several other actresses, Julia is still currently one of the best in the industry in terms of her physique, all the way down to the curves. Let's just hope she makes it to this year's TRE! Meanwhile, you can keep up with her on X.
