JAV MIA: Where have these actresses gone?

Actresses retiring are a normal occurrence. For whatever reason leaving the adult video industry. However when they leave with no apparent announcement or final video then it starts to puzzle the mind. Today we’ll be looking at some actresses who have left with little notice and goodbye. And see what they have been up to and the odds of them returning to the silver screen. With how fast news can move, some of this may by out of date when it publishes. One can hope all of these ladies make a surprise comeback announcement.

Meguri

The curvy and beautiful Meguri. The jet black long haired stunner is a favorite of many with her curvy body and mature like air. Her last title coming in during the middle of 2020. She had first retired in 2017 only to comeback in 2019. After that she took some time off for a personal medical procedure that laid her up. Of which we have reported at ZENRA before here. After that the pandemic hit full swing and like a lot of actresses she took some more time off. We never had a formal retirement announcement or final video. Since then Meguri has been MIA from JAV for about a year and a half now with her last title coming in the latter half of 2020.

With that long a layoff it might be fair to say she has effectively retired. A soft retirement due to both personal life and the larger pandemic which has changed many careers not just our AV stars. Today Meguri is still active online. She still posts on twitter and on her own YouTube channel. She has been spotted on Fanza’s live chatting streams. I would say the chances of her returning are medium at best. Looking though her Twitter she is still very much still into the adult content space. But she maybe pivoting towards a cam girl/adult gravure career. If I’m a fan I wouldn’t hold my breath for her second comeback too much.

Chance of Returning: Medium
Current Status: Active online

Matsuri Kiritani

Matsuri Kiritani another busty babe who has gone missing. This SOD star last starred in a video in a video that released late in 2020. Of all the ladies today her stealth retirement hits the hardest. Matsuri is a deadly actress with her goofy bubbly energy combined with that thin waist and huge boobs. An absolutely killer fat rack that has left us and one of my favorites of the MIA girls. We never got a formal retirement announcement or final farewell video from her. She’s been gone for a year and some change and it looks unlikely that she will return. I would put her odds in at low. Currently she is still active on twitter, still using her JAV account so she isn’t gone entirely. A return from her would be very welcome from this writer.

Chance of Returning: Low
Current Status: living her life, still active on Twitter

Saeko Matsushita

Saeko Matsushita, the big busty babe that has developed a cult like fandom even after being MIA for so long. With her delicate and pristine face and very ample breasts, Saeko was a beauty that came and left on her own terms. She is the rare actress whose popularity that endured even after leaving alongside the likes of Aki Sasaki and Asahi Mizuno. And while I say she is retired we have never gotten a final farewell video or proper announcement on it. Saeko’s last title came in the middle of 2020. So calling her MIA is a stretch as she has effectively retired.

Since then she started a short lived beauty care channel that has since become defunct. She is no longer active on her public social media accounts. For all intents and purposes she has left the public eye. I would say the chances of her returning are very low. As pretty and great her body is, Saeko never felt all-in during her videos. A hot babe with a rocking body but also was a poor performer and lackluster actress. Fans should not expect her to comeback. If she ever does return, I don’t doubt it would be a bombshell announcement. Fans would go wild and I count myself among them. Even with my gripes with her downsides Saeko is a knockout both in looks and body. Her return would be very welcome, I’m just not expecting it to happen.

Chance of Returning: Very Low
Current Status: Not online

Kana Yume

Kana Yume aka the other Arch Master. Like Yuu Shinoda she is known for working her sweet ass. A wild nympho in bed and one heck of a deep throater, Kana has been around for a while about a decade now. She is on this list but it is a bit of a stretch. Recently she announced that she would be changing her name after all of this time and leaving her agency in a now delete blog post. Her hiatus has only been a short one at the time of writing. Her last title came in last December of last year and she has only missed a month for releases so far. But with an article full of low chance returners, we needed an easy win here.

Kana Yume should be back on screen by all accounts, the odds of her coming back being high. Whatever issue she has with her agency I can’t see a 10 plus year vet of the industry leave with so little fanfare (I won’t believe it). When she comes back she will most likely be sporting a new name (annoying for fans) and it is still to be seen if she will be exclusive to a studio or freelancing. She has been hopping from exclusive contract to exclusive contract in recent times so she might continue that in the future. So don’t be too down in the dumps, Kana should be back with her dump truck soon enough.

Chance of Returning: High
Current Status: On break

Masami Ichikawa

Next we have Masami Ichikawa an actress I’m not too familiar with (though she does have a killer video with Aika Yamagishi). An SOD girl with short hair and a slim build (also buddies with Iori Kogawa). She was last active in the middle of 2021. Apparently she had some health issues regarding her back that waylaid her from working. She is still active online and used sporadically in SOD marketing materials so she doesn’t seem to be out of AV for good. I would put her chances of returning as medium, a fair possibility.

Chance of Returning: Medium
Current Status: Still active online as an SOD girl

Mio Mashiro

Next up we have Mio Mashiro who would have one of my favorite debuts of last year if she kept working. A tiny, skinny little thing who as a great performer right out the gate. She seems to have retired but with the door still open to coming back. While we got no formal retirement announcement she has commented about it online. Citing self-esteem and confidence issues with working. Hopefully she comes back more confident than ever. She didn’t seem like she lacked confidence on screen but public facing jobs can be difficult in their own regard. Today she is still active online and even hanging out with some fellow AV actresses. So I have hope she may return back to the screen.

Chance of Returning: Medium
Current Status: Still active online

Rumina Yuki

Finally we have Rumina Yuki with Prestige. Rumina got in trouble with the law awhile back with substance possession late last year and has laid low since. Whatever her personal issues, I’m hoping that Rumina comes back. A skinny babe who fits Prestige’s style to a T. And I am happy to report that all signs point to yes. Judging by her online status Rumina will be back at it. Posting on Twitter on February 3 “Rumina Restarts”. Sporting a new super short haircut making her look pretty mature now (not a big fan of it yet). She seems poised to restart her career soon. In the words of famed sports broadcaster I would “Guuuuarontee it”.

Chance of Returning: High
Current Status: Still active online as a Prestige Girl

Other MIA Actresses

There are also some newbies that I covered for my New Debut Reviews that may have silently left too. There is Lemon Sawa whose last solo coming in the middle of last year and since then last appeared in a group title a couple of months back. With her it might be an issue of finding work as a small time actress. Then there is the skinny Karen Sakahara who seems to have stopped filming since the middle of last year. There is also Airi Suzumura who has been missing for awhile now. With little online presence from her, it is really anyone's guess what is going on with her.

Fellow writer Vienna noted some MIA actresses who may have silently exited. Like Faleno’s Sora Amakawa who has been gone since September of last year. Though she may just be on a long hiatus hopefully. There is also Hasumi Ten aka Hasumi Takashi a Filipino hafu who has rebranded herself and seems like she is out of the game. Well that wraps up JAV MIA, lets hope some of these actress statuses become much clearly later on with hopeful return for some.
