Moving on to a not-so-famous hottie like Nanami Matsumoto but she made her debut with E-Body so we gotta give her that! In a recent, unexpected announcement, Mio Fujiko has revealed that she has been hospitalized following an accident and might do away with not filming JAVs for a while. The actress made it obvious that she has no intent to continue filming JAVs further so fans might take this gossip with a pinch of salt.

Mio took to X to brief fans about her condition, "Actually, I had an accident a while ago and I've been hospitalized for a while. I don't have any filming scheduled for the rest of the year, but I'll be back when I can."

While the pixie hair hottie didn’t delve into the specific details. The details of the accident more or less remain undisclosed, Mio has confirmed that she will be unable to participate in any filming activities for the remainder of the year and we found her quoting while expressing her hope to return to work as soon as her health permits.

However, the health scare is not the only reason behind her decision to leave her talent agency, Attractive, the agency that has represented her throughout her career, "This is sudden, but I'm leaving Attractive It's not just because of my injury"

Furthermore, she stated that she has experienced a significant amount of personal growth and feels that she has accomplished all that she set out to do by being in the company of her agency, "I've experienced a lot and I feel like I've done everything I can, so I feel like I should quit Thank you very much" "I feel like I've done everything I can, so I feel like I should quit," she said.

JAV’s most sought-after actress Minami-san has announced her next career move, and this one is a shocker! It will see her transition from the lanes of JAV to scratching discs on a console in front of a full house. Starting in 2025, Minami san is set to adopt a whole new avatar, "pixeL," and embark on a career as a DJ, specializing in the art of scratching, yeah discs!

Here's what she captioned on Instagram, "This is pixeL. I’m choosing to live my life as a DJ from here on out. I’m all in, and loving life as a DJ. And If it's hard to pronounce "pixeL", feel free to call me "PIXY" instead—it’s fine Thank you all for your support and it would make me happy if you find it enjoyable"

As per her statement, the promotions are set to begin with Minami releasing a new single on January 11, next year under her DJ alias, Pixel. "On January 11th, 2025, I’ll be releasing my original tracks on CD and streaming services. This photo you’re seeing is the album cover!"

Further details about her upcoming performances and shows are likely to be announced shortly for which she has also set up a new Instagram account to connect with her fans and followers. "I’ll keep posting all magazine features, photo books, and event details right here on this account. And I’ll be sharing more information soon, so hang tight and get ready‼︎ For more personal updates, I’ll continue using my other account"

Aizawa's decision to pursue a career as a DJ is kinda unexpected move because she never showed much interest in performing music like the rest of her peers in the industry. However, given her popularity and influence, it is not entirely surprising. The JAV industry has long been a breeding ground for talent, and many former AV actresses have successfully transitioned into other fields, including music, modeling, and acting.

I wonder if she had this planned for a while as scouring her Instagram takes us back to posts made two months ago. Even more amazing is the fact that she played a gig in Waikiki, Hawaii in her early days as a DJ. Here's a glimpse of the set she played there. Enjoy!

With her new identity as pixeL, Aizawa joins a growing list of former AV stars who have made successful careers in the music industry. Following in the footsteps of renowned DJs like Mao and Konan, Minami is poised to make a significant impact on the East Asian nightclub scene. So watch out for her next time, when you’re traveling to Pattaya or Thailand for that matter.

Earlier, we reported on how Minami confessed her desire to not continue with her JAV stage name cause she had a stigma with it as people associated the name with her adult career. Though the name change was a thing of concern back then, it’s understandable why she chose to stick to the edition. Now that she has revealed what was in her mind all this while, it’d be interesting to watch will she conquer the local scene or will she take her music to the international stage. Only time will tell.

After the resounding success of the 8woman trilogy, which concluded with the final act of 8woman Last Dance, it seems that the JAV talent agency 8man is poised to continue its streak. With the recent announcement of the 4/8woman project that is poised to take over from where they left last time

The agency mentions on its official website that "The Project 8woman was launched in 2021 to commemorate its 15th anniversary and caused a huge response. It evolved further with 8woman Next Stage the following year, and in 2023, the final chapter 8woman Last Dance attracted a lot of attention. And now it has been revived as a spin-off project of 8woman."

Only this year, 8woman returns but on a smaller scale, with only 4 actresses appearing and will be called 4/8woman. "The project 4/8woman, which four newly elected members will take on, will begin.

The charge has been handed on to famous gravure photographer Nishida Yuki this time, Top gravure photographer Nishida Yuki will once again be in charge of the photography. This time, the four's new challenge will be delivered to fans through a photo book and exhibition. It is a story of beauty and challenges woven once again by 8woman. The next legend begins here."

While the earlier 8woman series featured a stellar lineup of actresses, including Aoi Tsukasa, Nene Yoshitaka, and the iconic K-cup duo Mei Washio and Nagi Hikaru, the new project will feature an altogether different cast. Mai Tsubasa, and Mino Suzume, with new additions this year like Rin Hachimitsu, and Kanna Fuji. While each actress brings her unique charm, it's undeniable that the star power of the original lineup is missing.

Mai seemed enthralled while sharing a BTS from the set, "I'm looking forward to the photo exhibition, but I'm also really looking forward to the three digital photo books that will be released at the same time. I wonder what kind of photos will be in them? Photos of the four of us going on an erotic hot spring trip. Please look forward to it"

Undoubtedly, one of the best additions to the 4/8woman project is the inclusion of Rin Hachimitsu, who’s had some beef with the agency earlier but seems as if things are sorted out between both parties. Rin’s addition to the series is sure to garner attention & catch a lot of eyeballs among fans, and it's expected that she will play a pivotal role in the series.

In addition to the JAV, the agency has planned a series of events to promote the 4/8woman project, including a photo exhibition from December 17-29 and a handful of fan meet & greet events. The exhibition set to be held in Hiroshige Gallery will see artworks being sold staring from $200 all the way to $850. While these events may attract fans, it remains to be seen whether they can actually replicate the success of the original trilogy.

As fans eagerly await the release of the 4/8woman project, many are left wondering about the future of some of the original 8woman stars. Aoi Tsukasa, in particular, has been absent from the screen for several months, sparking speculation about her future plans.

While the 4/8woman project may not have the same star power as its predecessor, it still promises to deliver entertainment and excitement. However, it remains to be seen whether it can capture the hearts of fans and achieve the same level of success as the original 8woman trilogy.
