BREAKING: Ruka Inaba & Tina Nanami Are Back, There's Sad News For Miina Wakatsuki's Fans, Ai Kano Teases Comeback On X

Trapstar here, reporting live from ZENRA headquarters. Bringing you the latest buzz in the Twitter JAV space in recent days

Miina Wakatsuki's calling it quits is the biggest scoop in the JAV industry right now and it seems like the answer to her long absence from the community is finally here. Miina, who made her popularity known at the Taiwan Adult Expo earlier this year, took to her Twitter to drop the bomb on her retirement. Honestly, It’s hard to fathom that she announced that her filming days are far behind her, and it's time to bid farewell to the scene. "I've been able to work not only in Japan but also abroad. I was really happy that so many people got to know me and were interested in me, and I had a lot of experiences because I became an adult film star, and I learnt a lot about life. To my fans in Japan and all over the world, thank you so much for your support. From now on, I will do what I want to do and live my life in a way that will satisfy my heart even more. Thank you all for everything!"

Miina might not have been in the limelight lately, but she's made a mark as more than just an eye-candy. Sure, those curves were a crowd-puller, but she's also had an impact beyond AV, dabbling in overseas commercials and strutting her stuff at the Taiwan Adult Expo.

You may wonder her reason for hanging up the AV hat? Well, it's simple that after eight years in the industry, she feels she has achieved what she had set out to do. She's clocked in a ton of shoots, attended numerous fan events, and even had the extraordinary experience of engaging with fans overseas but now, she's ready to shift gears. At the end of the day AV performers are just regular girls, you know? Here's what she had to say about the same, "I will retire at the end of December 2023. I will be retiring completely. As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been filming videos since last year and have only been working at events for about a year and a half."

"The reason for my retirement was that I thought I had done enough in this industry, so I decided to give up my life as a porn star and start a new life. It's been eight and a half years since I debuted as Miina Wakatsuki in 2015. At first I thought, 'I can't have sex with a stranger! I thought I'd quit if it was too much to ask, but the reason I've been able to do it for this long is because of the support of my fans." Apparently, Miina's feeling content with her career trajectory, just like a champ boxer without any regrets. She even dropped a hint on X that if you want to keep tabs on her life beyond the AV world, there's another account waiting to be discovered. But her original X account? It's set to go off soon, so if you want a peek into her future activities, now's the time to hit that follow button.

It's bittersweet, seeing her go out like this. she had that spark, that allure that kept fans glued. But, I believe she's stepping out with a sense of fulfillment, ready to embrace the next chapter. Who knows what she'll get up to next? Sure one door is closed but there's a whole world of possibilities out there.

For now, it's a farewell to Miina Wakatsuki, as she gears up for the next phase in her life. The JAV community has it's speculations, but one thing's for sure – she's left her mark, and her journey doesn't end here. Here's to her new beginnings, her new adventures, and the excitement of what's yet to come!

With a large number of actresses retiring, there will be those who can't help but make a comeback and now look who's back! Yep, it's Ruka Inaba! Remember how she teased a potential return back in June but got spooked by the new AV law? Well, currently it looks like she's throwing caution to the wind and diving right back in.

Ruka had initially announced a sabbatical and then abruptly retired from the industry. But surprise, surprise - she's now back in the game! She'd been loitering around the community, dropping hints of a comeback. Now she has finally made up her mind to change her name and make an AV after all this back and forth drama! She has finally made the leap, but there’s a catch she had to switch up her name a bit. Say hello to Riri Haruka, readers!

"I, Ruka Inaba, have changed my name to Riri Haruka. I have decided to resume activities with Lister Productions! To everyone who has loved me so far, thank you for all your love and support. And to those of you who have been involved in our work. Thank you very much for your support. I am very grateful to have been able to work in such a blessed environment. From now on, please take care of me. I look forward to working with you."

Why the name change, you ask? Well, it's all tied to her adopting a new avatar, while she remains affiltiaed to her previous office ListerPro. It's a bit of a bummer that she couldn't keep her original stage name, though. The 23 year old had built up quite a reputation before retiring, and leveraging that popularity would've certainly given her a head start. But alas, to avoid whispers about some shady private agreement between AllPro and ListerPro, she had to make the name swap.

"About returning to porn. I have been asked to shoot a return film in December. I've decided to do it in December. Thanks to the support of everyone who has been waiting for me I'm ready to come back to the industry again. I was really torn between doing it or not, But now that I'm going to do it, I'm going to be serious about it. I'm going to start filming now, so it's going to be six months before I can release the film" The silver lining however is that she's locked in her filming schedule, and this month kicks off her comeback shoots! Talk about diving in headfirst without wasting much time. With the AV industry's current rollout pace, we might just see her new JAV hit screens midway through next year. Sure, there’s a bit of a waiting in there but good things take time, right?

Even though she's now known as Riri Haruka, it's a relief to see her return to the spotlight. I mean, this is the same star who once snagged the top spot on FANZA's sales charts! Her comeback will lighten up her fans moods who've been anticipating a return for a while now.

It seems as if trying to make bank through other channels post-AV wasn't cutting it for Ruka. So, back to the old stomping ground she goes. It's a rollercoaster – took her a solid six months to mull over the comeback decision, but hey, she's back and ready to reclaim her spot in the AV limelight and that's enough of a great news! "I wanted to tell those who have been waiting for me to come back for the past two years about it as soon as possible, I know it's a bit early. I'd be very happy if you could help me spread the name Riri Haruka, which has zero name recognition at the moment. I'll start to get serious from today!"

It's like a dramatic storyline playing out in real life, and fans are here for every bit of it. Here's to hoping Ruka-chan's comeback is as dazzling as her previous stint in the world of AV. Welcome back to the hustle, Ruka – the stage is set for your grand return!

I wonder if you all remember the busty J-cup goddess who was Madonna's final surprise to fulfill the roster in 2022, Ai Kano. The actress keeps dropping subtle hints on her now abandoned Twitter but her latest update isn’t to be skipped. You've got to hand it to her, she knows how to keep the anticipation among her fans. Though now cherishing her time off from AV, the former actress has found a way to get into fans hearts once again. For the unversed, Ai had previously featured under Madonna’s banner and had previously shut off her Twitter shortly after retirement in September this year.

Skip to present, That sly maneuver of tweaking her bio to tease a comeback in 'February 2024' has her fans certainly contemplating one. Is it a comeback? Well, only time will spill those beans. But for now, she has dropped a couple pics for the big occasion, Christmas, dressed in a sultry santa costume and flaunting her J-cup busts, Ai looks nothing less than a seductress!

Now, about this potential comeback, if my speculation is true, it seems she might have already shot her comeback film, slated for a February release if we had to consider the new release schedule. Speculations are rife, will she team up with Madonna once more, considering the void Hitomi left behind? The AV connoisseurs yearn for that kind of talent, and I don’t see studios shying away from an all out bidding war for Ai Kano.

And let's talk competition. Madonna's throne in the busty-talent department might have a few contenders eyeing that seat. With Ai Kano potentially making a comeback, things could get interesting. Will she reclaim her spot with the label that knew how to showcase her assets best and made her fan favorite in no time? Or will she venture into new territories, maybe pursuing a career of that of a ‘kikatan’? Only time will tell.

All in all, it's a waiting game. Till then, I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, ready for February 2024 to roll around, hoping for an encore from the J-cup sensation. One thing's for sure, whether she’s making a comeback or not, Ai Kano sure knows how to keep her fans hooked.

After nearly 2 years away from AV, Tina Nanami has finally broken silence on her stalled JAV career. Tina Nanami's return will be marked by the JAV SAME-090, scheduled to release on DVD on January 2, 2024 and an early bird release online on December 29, 2023. Guess what, it's the Attackers she's making a comeback with. This deal comes at a very important turn at her career. Firstly, her agency, 8Man, is an agency that only deals with exclusive female talents, so if no film distributor is willing to give exclusive contracts, Tina’s future will be in the dark. On the movie poster, there is no sign of exclusivity. At the same time, on SNS, we can see Tina Nanami posting behind the scenes of filming a lot, so perhaps this 8man's new recruit will become a free agent in the near future, offering her more screen time. "Comeback work is out. It's Mr. Attackers! First film in two years, buy a lot and watch it!" cited Tina via her Twitter.

I assume you recall how Nanami used to be like in initial days? The AV actress had a reputation for being ‘ripped’ back then, but she was so self-conscious about her appearance that she developed bulimia and eventually quit the industry in 2021. Now some scoop on this particular JAV, Tina plays a female boss who has a fiance at home but is coerced by her subordinate who is secretly in love with her into taking advantage of her loneliness, there’s a lot of back & forth until it becomes a habit and the two indulge in some steamy hot coitus.

The initial photos that surfaced online seems as if Nanami's face has slightly matured. What struck me about her body is that, even though she has gained weight, this is still clearly visible. But the good thing is that she has lost her fake tits and they no longer look like the once in the past, and the shaking sensation when she was riding the male actor seemed quite real ー In fact, I was really happy to see her comeback because I knew that she just wanted to be in the industry after all these years, and now I am really blessed to see her wish come true. I also hope that all the fans who support her will be able to buy the film when it comes out to give her influence her to roll out more such JAVs in the future.

In another news, the freelance name that once broke the charts, Mina Kitano will become an exclusive actress for Moodyz from this month with MIDV-586, which will also be released on December 29. That means Mina has now become an exclusive actress for multiple studios, namely Moodyz, Honnoka and Fitch. On her personal bio, she also edited the section. Now it’d be exciting to see her juggle through these studios but there’s good news for the fans, the releases will be more frequent from now on.
