Graduation from Top JAV Studios: part 2: Mao Mashiro found new jobs `
As mentioned in Part 1, when a top studio idol discontinues an exclusive relationship, there are a number of exit strategies, depending on her own ambitions (or lack thereof), her success in selling JAV, and some luck. One of the disappointing outcomes, as far as JAV fans are concerned, is retirement or rapid fading. So when Mashiro didn't have a new exclusive contract lined up, fans were already a bit anxious. And then as time passes she didn't have new titles appearing, by now the dry spell is five months long. And then her Twitter account (@mashiro_maoo) was deleted completely. It's looking like just one hair away from an unceremonious retirement.
When Mao Mashiro 真白真緒 started with S1 in July 2019, she was seen as a long-awaited replacement for RION. But then only five months later, RION returns to S1 as Rara Anzai and then not even 3 months after that, Mashiro's contract was concluded without a renewal offer. Is the return of one bra buster linked to the exit of the other? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I myself was a little guilty of shifting my attention away from Mashiro when Rara Anzai made her comeback.
Well we can remember two things in her short (8 solo titles in just under 7 months, not counting image videos and compilations) career. (1) In the Japanese fandom there were a lot of rumor she was a well known "worker" in an Osaka fuzuku with the moniker マオー (Mao) and spending a lot of her own money on a male host (a common problem, it seems), (2) in her Twitter account, Mao has a fiery temper, regularly warred with online trolls and even once said she wish to quit updating her Twitter. So if the rumors were true, Mao has a solid fall-back path in fuzuku. Rather we might say fuzuku was always Plan A and JAV was only a side quest. A short high flying stint with a premiere studio gave her a big pay check and a status boost that could reap long term gains in her fuzuku career. On the other hand, if she has such a temper, she might have been affected by the poison and acidity of the faceless online hordes.
So it turns out she wasn't sitting around all this time. After deleting her twitter account, a new account (Rui) was started and posting a fuzuku schedule in both Tokyo and Nagoya (with pricing and very detailed listing of optional services). Yes it does lend credibility to some of those rumors, actually it practically confirmed it, because on the above photo she conspicuously advertised her fee has been reduced from her previous club (referring to 2019??). BTW for just 16,000 yens you could enjoy 60 minutes of her services, including sumata (素股) and raw blowjob.
And then happily, Mao Mashiro has new JAV titles again. A whole bunch actually. There are two consecutive titles from KTKC, and a couple of Prestige planning vids. This is no power move: four planning videos in a short time, some not even explicitly credited to her. So what is Mao Mashiro/Rui now? Is she a high class fuzuku hostess who come to JAV for a boost of her hostess career? Or is she a floater, making a living whenever and whereever there's a job offer? Or she is additcted to the luxury and companionship found in male host club, and at risk of losing grip on her life and career? Whatever she is doing, I wish her the best and hope to see her in lots of interesting planning vids.
PS: Kyoko Akari 朱莉きょうこ is (probably) already the next graduate, no new title since May and deleted Twitter account.

But from S1 exclusive to KTKC and DOCP, absolutely no question it's a huge demotion. But again, it could be her own preference or could be market forces, I think we can have a better judgement in a few months.
like Sora Amakawa has moved to Faleno studio too, she has already completed 3 films ready for release. Kira Rin has announced that she will do Kikatan (one of Moodyz's labels), real creampie? wow .. and she also appeared in the Kawaii, Madonna and 2 more studios that I didn't know much about. 5 films ready for release. maybe Mao Mashiro isn't fortunate as they are, you're right to say, that all of this needs luck. I was quite surprised of her.
Kyoko Akari, July 3, S1 released her VR. hopefully not stop there. but ... whatever the choice, wish her all the best.
