Former Faleno Girl Makes A Sudden Announcement

Meisa Kawakita, a former Faleno exclusive who made her debut with the studio earlier in January 2021 came off with an abrupt announcement on her will to retire from the industry, drastically cutting short her journey in the AV business much to the displeasure of her fans. Despite her short-lived career spanning two years, Meisa's recent few releases had started taking off on a better note and were gaining popularity among viewers.

"This is a sudden notice to inform you that Meisa Kawakita has now retired. The days since my debut in December 2020 every day has been exciting. I have had a lot of fun and a lot of pain. I am very glad that I had the courage to become an AV actress. I am very happy that I could think so because of the people at the office, the staff makers, and everyone who supports me. I am grateful to all of you who support me. My sense of beauty has improved, I have experienced many things in my life, and my life has changed a lot. Thank you so very, very much for your support over the past two and a half years. I will let you know about my future plans later. I will never forget the many thanks." the actress said this in a testimony posted on Twitter.

In her brief stint of two years, the former Faleno exclusive turned freelancer worked with various major filmmakers in the industry, including Moodyz, EBody, and Aurora Project. She showcased her acting skills in several movies, gaining recognition from her vast fanbase. Her sudden decision to retire has now certainly took a sect of her fans aback. Most of them were not expecting this announcement especially since she had made a comeback in January this year following a brief hiatus.

"I will continue to use Twitter and Instagram after I retire! And even after I retire, I will continue to work hard on this work in my own way, so I will be happy if it continues to be a side dish for everyone!" Meisa claimed that she had reverted to her previous stage name and had worked hard to build a fanbase on her social media platforms, including Instagram and Twitter which she would continue reaping the benefits of post retirement. Go give her a follow!

With fellow Faleno actresses falling like flies lately, the news of Meisa's retirement from the industry has only made it worse for the loyal fans of the studio. Despite the setback, I believe Faleno will bounce back sooner or later and I expect to see them produce some content worthy JAVs.

It is worth noting that the AV industry has been a topic of controversy, and amidst the ongoing dispute with the law regulators it’s hard to say if she quit out of frustration of unemployment. However, as a kikatan (freelancer) has used the platform to showcase her talents and build a considerable fanbase. Meisa's career trajectory sets a bar for other talents to pursue their passions in the niche.

In retrospect, another Faleno debutante is set to exit the industry in no time, added to the fact that Faleno talents are falling like flies. Her fans could vouch that her recent films were growing in popularity and are saddened by her sudden decision to retire. In her short career, the actress featured in movies under every major banner like Moodyz, E-Body, Aurora Project. Earlier in January this year, she made a comeback after a brief hiatus claiming that she had reverted to her previous stage name

Aoi Kururugi Returns To S-Cute Studio

I guess most of you could recall, Aoi Kururugi made her debut in the summer of 2017 under a not so popular studio banner, Candy. Post having gained considerable popularity and experience as a freelancer in these recent few years. The 25 year old claimed to have recently joined another small time studio, S-Cute under an exclusive contract. The announcement of her joining the studio stirred a considerable buzz among her fans, as Aoi expressed how fortunate she felt to be working for her favorite production house for a whole year.

"I will be exclusive for S-Cute and I will graduate from being an AV actress in one year! I am very happy to spend my last days as an AV actress with my favorite maker! I want to make this year a memorable one for everyone, even as my first exclusive actress . Please support me" said the actress in a statement

Aoi’s trajectory in the AV industry has been a exceptional one. In her career spanning over half a decade, she has worked under several studios and directors, and has made a name for herself as a versatile actress. In particular, she has done a couple of films with her industry friend Ichika Matsumoto, and the duo share a commendable chemistry on screen. Aoi could be seen hanging out with Ichika frequently when the pair is not shooting. I believe her fans look forward to their future collaborations.

Besides acting in adult films, Aoi has also built a career out of shooting music videos. Her fans are in awe of her talent and versatility as they eagerly await her next project. Moreover, the Tokyo based actress is a big fan of pachinko, a popular Japanese arcade game, as one could make out from her Twitter feed. The obsession is such that she has even installed a pachinko machine at her home. Some fans even suggested that there is a huge possibility that she could open a karaoke and pachinko bar in the future, out of her love for these hobbies post retirement.

"Not retired, but graduated. This exclusive is Aoi Kururugi Chapter 2. See you in Chapter 3! Aoi Kururugi is not going away yet!"

While her fans were taken aback when she announced her retirement plans, she later clarified in a statement that she will graduate from the AV business for the time being, but doesn't intend to retire entirely. That just means that she will keep being associated with the industry in different mediums, which has brought relief to her fans on a certain extent.

Considering Aoi’s decision to join S-Cute as an exclusive actress after a brief stint as freelancer has brought a significant shift to her career. Her SNS feed gives one an idea of her upcoming projects. Her association with S-Cute has also opened up new opportunities for her, and will enable her to showcase her talent to a wider audience.

AV Talent Prefers Dino Over Wish

A former nutritionist who made her debut in the AV industry with Fitch Studio is the latest to make headline. Having celebrated her first anniversary in the industry earlier this year, Mai Hoshikawa stacked up a couple of movies in her portfolio under Michirus's label in the recent past. Surprisingly, her last update from her former Twitter was in March before the actress went radio silent.

"Hello everyone, it's been a while. My name is Sora Anzai, and I will be working for #DINO. To the fans and makers who have supported me since my days as Mai Hoshikawa, I will work hard with DINO to become a TOP actress. Thank you for your continued support!" A month later, Mai reemerged and took back her fans with a surprise announcement. As per her statement, she transferred to Dino Agency from her former agency Wish and decided upon the stage name Sora Anzai. She also mentioned that she could no longer use her previous Twitter account as she had cut ties with her former agency and could no longer entertain their offerings.

"Back to the basics, I have black hair for the first time since my debut. From now on, I will keep my hair black and stable! I'm looking forward to working with you, makers!" In a tweet, Sora cited that she had gone back to her black hair days with the expectation that production houses would come up to offer her roles. Fans have expressed mixed opinions on her new look, with some preferring her as a blonde or a brunette over her new look. Giving off serious Alice Otsu vibes, the actress had majorly appeared in AVs as a black haired performer.

At the time of this writing, Sora's followers stand at around a grand on her SNS. We encourage our readers to follow her and keep up with her future works via her SNS. Changing agencies is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry, and it can signify a fresh start or a whole different trajectory for an artist. Sora’s decision to transfer to Dino agency could potentially open up new opportunities for her in terms of roles and collaborations.

As an actress, the 25 year old has already shown promise in her previous works. Her former studio, Fitch, claimed her to be a former nutritionist in her debut AV, which is an interesting background for an actress. I believe, her experience in nutrition may be a deciding factor for a post AV career considering her unique insights into health and wellness could translate into her scoring clients out of AV.

Sora's decision to change her stage name is also worth noting. As an artist, your stage name is like a brand, and it can play a crucial role in how you are perceived by the general public. By changing her name, Sora Anzai could be signaling a shift in her image or style, or she could simply be trying to establish a more distinctive identity.

In any case, Sora Anzai's fans will undoubtedly be excited to see what the future holds for her in the entertainment industry. With her transfer to a new agency and her new stage name, there is a sense of anticipation and curiosity around her next moves. We can only hope that she continues to deliver engaging and memorable performances, and that her career continues to flourish.

Eightman Teases A New Talent

In recent months, it has been the case with most of these who AV actresses who are hell bent upon joining the elite talents at Eightman and no wonder these small time talents are jumping on the wagon lately. The latest to do so is Hijari Hibari, who is likely a former Madonna exclusive and bears a striking resemblance to a certain Hijiri being teased by the agency as of now. As per AV publication 2chav, the actress is rumored to be the mystely girl being teased by the AV agency currently.

"Makeover for a limited time only This coloring is seriously too divine! I always ask Kuni from Men's Lapis in Shibuya I can definitely give you a cool men's hair, so if you are looking for a makeover Of course he's good at women's hair too! Thanks again" For reference, a tweet from October last year suggests that the actress had blonde hair at one point prior to she went MIA on her Twitter. Since then, this mystery girl has been keeping up with teaser tweets on a rut for her followers who eagerly anticipate her debut. If 2chav’s claim of the actress is true, it is quite hard to tell whether she will stick to Madonna for her comeback AV, or that her new agency's close affiliation with Faleno makes it likely obvious that she will debut under one of its brands, Dahlia.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Hijari Hibari. I can't give you any detailed information about me since I haven't released the information yet... but I hope this picture can give you a sense of the atmosphere. Thank you very much!", the actress wrote in a cryptic post

Currently, the fan base of this mystery actress stands at roughly three thousand combined on Twitter and Instagram. However, this number is expected to increase dramatically once her agency lifts off the ban on her identity, prior to her debut. Fans are eager to see what this talented actress has in store for them.

"I tried to reveal her face a little," cited the agnecy in a tweet. Although Eightman has been somewhat succesful to an extent to keep the identity of this actress a mystery, her similarities to Hijiri have only added to the hype surrounding her debut. I believe the series of mystery tweets and the vagueness around her identity has only added up to the anticipation of her followers who are eagerly awaiting the release of her upcoming JAV.
