BREAKING: Pokomaru Is BACK, Sara Kagami Gets Hitched, Uncle Taku's LA Adventures & More!

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

Sara Kagami’s rant on the internet the other day raked in over half a million impressions on her tweet, can you believe it? Yeah, sure she has a knack for getting eyes glued to the screen, but having Ria Yuzuki to Tsukasa Nagano and several JAV actresses reacting to your tweet expressing admiration for your work is somewhat special!

So Sara recently announced via her SNS on August 1 that she’ll be taking some time off from JAV. By now, you must've guessed that she’s hangin’ up her heels by the end of October. This little hottie has had enough of being in the spotlight and wants to trade it for a stress-free life as I could make from her words, "To everyone who always supports me, I will retire from AV at the end of October 2024. After that, I will get married. I have no plans to appear in the public eye after my retirement."

But here’s the scoop; she wasn’t planning to tell anyone about her retirement until she spilled the beans about getting hitched. Her agent had a problem with the whole marriage announcement but was cool with the retirement one. Let's just say that she fucked up her retirement announcement badly because of her nervousness.

Ria’s got this whole package, you know? She’s drop-dead gorgeous and knows how to work a camera. But she’s also got this ambition burning inside her. She’s done everything she wanted to do in the adult biz and now it’s time to level up. And by level up, I mean find a husband and start a new chapter!

In her retirement tweet, she mentioned that she’s ditching the stage name and returning to her real self on SNS. Heck, October will be the last time you can see her in person at an event as she has no plans to appear in the public eye after retirement, "October will be the last time I can see you all. I have done everything I want to do and can do as an AV actress. I am too beautiful and good in bed to be just a girl, so it's a bit different to say "I'm going back to being just a girl," but I will drop this name and go back to my real name. Thank you for all the fun, and warm memories. I would be happy if you could run through with me until the end of October. Please send me off on the day I quit as a new beginning."

But she did mention that she is also on the lookout for offers from manufacturers so there could be many more JAVs on the horizon. So, we might be seeing a lot more of her, just in a different light, "There is not much time left, but let's make lots of good memories. I'm still waiting for offers from manufacturers."

Moreover, she just wrapped up a flick for Rocket Studios, too. So, there’s still plenty of Sara Kagami to go around before she disappears into oblivion.

I gotta say, it’s bittersweet news. We’re gonna miss seeing her on screen, but I’m happy for her. This girl deserves the world. And hey, maybe she’ll grace the cover of a photobook someday. Wouldn’t that be something?

She was a cute actress who could handle hardcore scenes as well. I'll miss hearing "Ohachi-po!" from her. It's a little early, but thank you for your hard work over the past 4 years!

Guess who do we have next? Okay, here’s a small hint, an AV actress who retired on her 2nd anniversary in the industry, recently announced that she’ll be making a comeback, Yes, it’s none other than Ria Hido. On her comeback, she wrote "I will be returning to AV again. Thank you for your continued support. I will do my best to earn your support"

Ria Hido who made her debut from Prestige in early 2021 had become quite famous for her distinct blonde look, a look that remains a standout feature for the actress, a feature that made her well-received in whatever sort of cult following she had, as she has been the subject of comparison to other actresses in the industry in the past. However, confusion arose among fans due to the multiple variations of her alias that had been doing the rounds on the internet for a while post her debut.

The 23-year-old Ria, an occasional AV actress, made her debut with Prestige Studio and quickly gained popularity among fans. Even to this day most of her work is being sold on MGS Marketplace considering she has remained inclined towards the Prestige studio for the length of her career, a stark contrast to the rest of the industry.

Quite frankly, it’s hard to make much from her online activities. It’s likely because she prefers remaining low-key on the platform and if you were to scour her Twitter, you’d find a plea to fans to sign a petition seeking revisions to the law, among a few of her latest updates. For the uninitiated, this remains a primary hint that incoming offers had depleted for the 23-year-old, who remains one of the latest to be impacted by the new regulations. Though I couldn’t figure out the intent behind her retirement, It’s likely that with the challenges posed by the new law, Ria had succumbed to the external pressures of the adult business.

I somehow felt like she has a strong resemblance to AIKA, which only added to her appeal, with many fans even fondly recognizing her in the leagues of JAV’s famous gyaru actress.

I have no thoughts about the fact that she is a talented performer who quickly gained a following, but unfortunately, the changing legal landscape in Japan’s adult industry led to her early retirement, I hope in the second league of her career, she finds recognition for her works.

Former TikTok influencer turned AV actress Nana Misaki is back in the game after a short break. Still can’t believe it right? After disappearing from the scene post the meh that was Moodyz in March, she’s now jumped ship to C-more, who’ve recommended her to Faleno Studios. A far cry from her mundane schoolgirl JAVs, I guess. It seems like Faleno is raking in some good comeback stars.

Before the break, Nana was more or less the queen of the box office with her chartbuster run with Moodyz rolling out back-to-back hits. Well, those days might be behind her, but her comeback is shaping up to be something else entirely. Since her agency Cmore announced that she’ll be making a jump back to JAV with her latest flick under Faleno studio. Word on the street is that her upcoming flick for Faleno is a full-on raunchfest. This latest JAV to feature Nana has some really good tongue & fellatio action, a far cry from the schoolgirl dramas she was churning out at Moodyz.

Nana has taken up an avatar, she’s even rebranded herself as Ellen Sora! Nana, or should I say, Ellen, gives a glimpse into the backstory enough to sell out a JAV that she is a runaway girl who does JAV for a living. Classic Hollywood backstory, right? But with Nana's name attached, the expectations are high with this one! "I'm Pokomaru, aka "Ellen Sora" I was picked up after I ran away from home, and now I've made my AV debut. Depending on the person, I could be an angel or a devil. People I like: People who can consider the feelings of others. People I don't like: People who have asked me questions or said unnecessary things in the past"

In his review of the actress FriedChikan rated her a solid 'A' while mentioning that "she’s cute and has a surprisingly good body. She could be special. From what I saw I’m giving her an A. Cute face, a nice body, good attitude, but her performance in bed could be better. She’s got the most potential today."

But recent chatter on some JAV forums is that she is just another victim of plastic surgery. In my opinion, her nose looks disproportionate to her face now, more like Arina Arata.

Her announcement post on Twitter has already hit a million views. Talk about a comeback! And Faleno seems to be on a roll with bringing back old faves. They're playing their cards right.

So, is this the comeback Nana needs? Can she recapture her former sales figures? Or is this just another flash in the pan? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, we’re here for the drama, the gossip, and of course, the hotness oozing off her steamy scenes!

Stay tuned, folks! This is gonna be good. Hope this second attempt brings out the best in her

Okay, so, here’s a gossip-worthy event that occurred for another bombshell from the JAV industry who dropped an update. Last month, our girl, Yu who’s barely in the news made a sudden announcement that she’s taking a time-out. Like, what? Fans were left scratching their heads, wondering if all was right with their favorite screen siren.

Yu tweeted, "I will be taking a break from activities for the time being."

But I guess there’s nothing much to worry about, readers, as she quickly backpedaled and apologized for the sudden announcement. "I apologize for this sudden announcement. What I regret most is that I will no longer have the opportunity to meet everyone."

We’re guessing her agent had a heart attack or something. Anyway, Yu made it clear she’s not disappearing completely. "As for my works, they will continue to be released every month until December. I am not retiring, so please wait for me until I return."

Right now, she’ll still be gracing the screens with her monthly JAV releases until December. So, at least we’ve got that to look forward to. She made it clear that in the meantime she will no longer have the opportunity to attend meet & greet events.

This announcement comes hot on the heels after Yu was spotted promoting the heck out of her studio’s new apparel line by an eagle-eyed fan. I could make from the pic that she was busy promoting and interacting with fans while looking sizzling while at the event. I mean, we were just getting used to the idea of Yu as a fashion icon, and now this!

Okay now coming to her latest flick, just last month she appeared in a perverted old colleague-themed JAV by the way. We’re still recovering from that scene. But now, we’re left hanging, wondering what’s going on with Yu. She hasn’t spilled the beans on why she’s taking a break, so we’re all just sitting here like it's gonna go on till eternity!

Yuu debuted with Prestige Studio in 2021 and has been a part of several promotions for the studio

Meanwhile, enjoy the content we have, and wait for her to come back and spill the tea. Until then, we’ll be here, speculating wildly.

For a change let’s talk about JAVs featuring Western actresses, a rare but unique genre that has untapped potential. If you happen to be bored of the mundane JAV plots and yearn to watch something refreshing that features western actresses; blonde hair, pale skin… you name it. Then you’re at the right place. Recently JAV studio Mousouzoku has been experimenting with its HIKR label. Yeah, I know you’ll say that they’ve done this in the past but they’ve released a few in the market again and you’d be surprised to find out that the guys at Mousouzoku have zeroed in on Hollywood, Los Angeles as its preferred location for the shoots.

Guess who we’re gracing the screens and holding the baton for JAV in the West? None other than the legendary Taku Yoshimura! Uncle Taku is back putting a charming spell on these beautiful blonde caucasian girls. Beginning the streak of seducing western girls, this June, he collaborated with Melanie Marie in HIKR-202. Then on July 23, the second film of the ongoing “Taki Yoshimura LA tour” series was officially released. this time, he had the pleasure of fucking the gorgeous Sahara Sky in HIKR-204 as he tweeted, "Looks like the ban has been lifted. Uncle Taku's going to L.A. and Jersey. Oh, I didn't get kicked out of Japan."

So who are these girls that our man got to cherish? The JAV released earlier last month on July 23, 2024, with the code HIKR-204 features this blonde-haired caucasian actress who goes by the name Sahara Sky and shares an uncanny resemblance to the Hollywood actress Chloe Grace Moretz. The product page mentions her as a poor student who works as a waitress at a hot dog shop and dreams of becoming a famous singer, quite an interesting bio they came up with for someone who’s supposed to act in porn. Sahara hails from the United, States born in 1996 she’s a full-time pornstar in the States.

Honestly, all this teasing by the studio got fans thinking if Taku copped a Hispanic hottie but later came to realize that it was for one of his JAVs. The veteran actor was found being cozy with a Latina on his Los Angeles tour, which got the rumor mill spinning.

So, who exactly is this mystery girl you ask? She is Venus Valencia who appears in the JAV film which will be released by Haikara Studio (Mousouzoku) on August 20, 2024. Venus is one of the popular adult film stars hailing from the United States. Besides shooting porn, she is also known to work as a spiritual writer and tantra teacher under the name Krystal Aranyani. Yeah, literally! you could google that up and it is believed that Uncle Taku was able to satisfy her with his cunnilingus techniques. Quite a few exciting skills he got in his arsenal, huh?

While some are out there criticizing Uncle Taku's skills, I only see that the Western girls are going gaga over him, or maybe it's the fee they got paid to feature, is behind the smile.
