AV Actress To Quit Industry By Next Year

A certain Moe Hazuki, not to be confused with Moe Amatsuka, earlier revealed on her public Twitter, of her intentions to retire early from the industry. The headline holds a certain weight considering she announced this right before her 27th birthday. In the statement published on her Twitter, the 27 year old was quoted saying,  "I will retire as a sexy actress in March 2023", bringing her tally to a total of seven years in the industry. Further in the tweet Moe addressed her fans regarding the final event of her career, which is presumed to take place in late March, next year. "Therefore, she will hold a retirement commemorative off-line meeting on March 11th hosted by her agency Krone, who has been enrolled for 6 and a half years, and her retirement commemorative event will be held on March 31st at Shinjuku Lefkada, who was very indebted to her during her activities. It is scheduled. As the last place where I can meet you all in person, I would like to say goodbye to you."

For fans of the actress who expected a surprise, the announcement comes as an absolute shocker for them prior to her birthday. It's likely disheartening for those who are accustomed to expect a release from the actress every now and then. Since her debut, back in 2016, the actress has barely lost her touch with the industry or took a voluntary break, of record. Considering she has managed to churn out a release every other month, with her most recent installment trending on Fanza's October chart, the underlying motive on her retirement remains quite daunting. 

The actress concluded the statement by urging her fans to attend her offline birthday event while assuring that she'd put her cent percent to the game going forward, in the next year. Though any mention of releases on her feed for the current month is quite non-existent, judging by her word fans might get to witness a couple releases into the new year prior to her finally bidding goodbye to the business.

Most recently, there was a birthday off-party on December 3rd the day after tomorrow. "One could participate by applying until 23:00, so if you are even slightly interested, please come and visit us. I would be happy if you could help me make memories. I will do my best for the remaining 3 months, so please look forward to it until the end."

On the occasion of her birthday, the birthday girl posted this message on her public Twitter. "Today I celebrated my birthday and turned 27 years old. I am so happy that so many people have already congratulated me this year...! By the way, I woke up this morning with a solid hangover, but I felt so fine that I ate pasta after lunch lol."

Moe has majorly remained independent in her tenure of six and a half years in the industry, often collaborating with some amateurish production houses. Also, occasionally for renowned production houses like SOD & Attackers, not to deny the fact that she didn't work with major studios in her stint. The 27 year old had a couple VR appearances under her belt, one of which being this VR work, by many accounts a highlight work of her career.

AV Idol Makes Major Announcement On Her Career

Adult performer Asamiya Chinatsu, recognized for her mature roles, released a formal statement about her retirement earlier this month. Via Twitter, Asamiya put forward her intentions to quit the industry by the end of this year. "Dear All, I will end my activities within the year 2022. I will move to another dimension, but I hope you will find me again. Thank you very much for all your support. It has been a very enjoyable 2 years and a bit."

It indeed has been a memorable few years for the actress who starred in a dozen or so AVs, often portraying mature roles. Though, that doesn't particularly apply to her debut JAV in which the F-cup beauty was teased as some employee turned adult star. Kanbi did, after all borrow, a page or two from SOD's book on how to hype up and launch a debutante. 

Asamiya's agency declined to comment on the tweet despite the fact that it had gained considerable clout from her small but vocal fan base of a couple thousand. Since there hasn't been much going on in the actress's career lately, I suppose the news of her retirement didn't catch her fans off guard. Subsequent to being cast in multiple AVs under different banners, her trajectory had almost gone dormant. I can't comprehend if this has anything to do with the new law, but given that her most recent release was almost a year ago, it's easy to understand that she ceased filming about a year ago, making it appropriate that a move like this was eagerly anticipated.

Though her releases were not hitting the store shelves that often, it was likely not the case with her public appearances. In what might've been her final public appearance before making up her mind to quit, the actress appeared in a talk show at the Lefkada venue, an abode for AV events and often a go to venue for adult performers in the industry.

In a subsequent tweet, Asamiya thanked her fans & peers while revealing that she'd cut ties with all her existing affiliations, that includes shutting down her public Twitter as well. "Thank you all for your comments. It was nice to be greeted by the actresses in my office and my peers I will delete my social media account as of 12/20 Please do not hesitate to contact me"

Several of Asamiya's peers from the industry reacted to the retirement tweet as they woke up to the news.

Her former co-star Aoi Ichino had only good words for the actress, "I haven't seen you since the shoot in late June, and thank you for being so kind to me then and even taking my picture. I really appreciate all your hard work!"

AV actress Sara Kagami wrote, "Nipple lady. Thank you very, very much for your hard work! I love you because you are kind, beautiful, loving and erotic"

"Wow! I miss you so much! Take care It was a pleasure to have been with you!" wrote Hinami Narusawa, close pal to Asamiya who recently had been off the circuit post childbirth.

AllPro Talent Quits AV

Kanami Miura is the latest addition to the group of AllPro actresses who have recently quit the industry or have transferred to a totally different agency, altogether. Will the frequent exodus of actresses in the recent past, ring a bell for the agency that has managed to stay quite relevant among AV circles, often producing some top tier talents in the process. 

"Kanami Miura will leave All Pro and retire from av actress at the end of this month.

We apologize for the sudden notice. I made this decision on my own because I want to move on to a new path. I would like to thank all the fans who supported me and watched my works, and all the staff who were involved in the filming and events. Thank you so very, very much. I can't thank you enough for accepting me as an ordinary girl.

I love you! I will never forget the exciting days of diving into the AV industry, which would have remained unknown to me if I had not stepped into it, and learning about a world I had never known before. I will never forget those exciting days when I learned about a world I had never known.

Last but not least! I'm going to continue to work on Meringue-chan for a little while longer, so please continue to support me!"

Literal transcription of Kanami's statement from a now defunct tweet.

Despite being the most recent addition to the list, Kanami can't be written off as a 'gone case'. Thanks in large part to her side hustle, or what one would refer to as a 'Meringue', the 20-year-old actress is still a vital member of the female group that was created back in 2019 and has no plans to stop being one anytime soon. Since Kanami made no mention of the group disbanding or of her leaving, it is still possible that she intends to continue honing her skill in the future. By referencing a tweet Kanami posted on her other account, which seemed to allude to a potential return, I could predict with certainty that she'd be back to the grind as early as next month.

The actress cleared her stance, bashing any rumors of a possible dispute among the two parties involved, stating that she took the step out of a sudden desire to venture into a new path which didn't align well with her current job role. Further doing her due diligence in expressing gratitude to all parties who helped her thrive in her short adult career of three years. Subsequent to the retirement announcement, Kanami tweeted what might have ultimately been her final still from an AV set, accompanying it with a quote "And today was our last shoot! I've been with you for a long time, and I genuinely love you! I was so happy to close with my favorite maker ". The actress having succumbed to the thought of her retirement is clearly visible as she shared an emotional moment with who happens to be the director, while being teary eyed as she concluded her final act as an AV actress.

To bring this to our readers notice, Further in the announcement tweet, Also, this account will be deleted within the next month. "From now on... I will continue to use my Twitter account (@kanaminakami) and Instagram account (@canamin07) for the time being, so please follow me (I will be adding a key soon)". the actress made a mention of the accounts that would stay relevant post her retirement, adding that it's only a matter of time until her current Twitter gets taken down, so don't forget to follow her on those.

Does Kanami's departure strike a blow to the now defunct AllPro agency which had a hard time recovering from Kurea Hasumi's retirement? Let us know in the comments below.

Kana Momonogi Reveals Update On Her Health Condition

In an unexpected turn of events that led adult performer Kana Momonogi to share her plight on Youtube pertaining to a physical condition, that the actress had been dealing with, for a while. In a YouTube video, that garnered over 100k views ever since it was uploaded, Kana addressed the situation at hand. The Ideapocket exclusive appears to be getting by with a right hand that has been immobilised for more than a week. Further into the video, the 25-year-old woman admitted that she had concluded the symptoms were probably indicative of a neurological disorder.

"[Urgent report] My right hand has stopped working. Here's what's going on right now...! I hope you get the picture. Everyday I can only thank the person who thought of the spoon and fork. Also, skewers! I'll be eating yakitori tonight to cheer you up!"

The chance that any kind of physical exertion might have harmed the motor radial nerve persisted up until the tests came back negative. Kana made multiple medical trips on the same day to further explore her complications; eventually, she and her team learned that the Tokyo-based actress had radial nerve palsy. The disorder, which is often referred to as 'honeymoon syndrome' in layman's term, has a severe impact on the radial nerves in the wrist that are in charge of maintaining its kinesthetic movements.

Even if it is only momentary, Kana was informed that there are certain circumstances in which it might be severe. The adult performer acknowledged in the video message that she had been considered for the latter diagnosis and had spoken with a doctor of using an acupuncture device to hasten the recovery process. In situations like Kana's, numbness at the wrist or tips of the fingers may persist for a long time. The actress was asked if she had been dealing with some inconveniences performing daily tasks, to which she replied that it's often the case while washing her face or applying makeup prior to the shoots. 

The actress's grip strength had been severely diminished by the illness that had been afflicting her for more than a week; in other words, she could lift no more than four kilogrammes with her right hand, in sharp contrast to the left hand, which could lift about a dozen or so. To give one a general idea, someone like Kana could only manage to manipulate a mechanical mouse with that type of grip strength.

The 25-year-old's latest JAV shootings have, fortunately, turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The actress hardly had any qualms while filming for her most recent AV, which has a BDSM theme. Due to her inability to manage eating with her dominant hand, she also stopped posting her frequent Ramen Jiro vlogs, which were popular with her fan base. The severity of the situation could be comprehended by realizing the fact that Kana had to call off her upcoming Christmas event for the month, owing to the pre-existing condition. "The event that was scheduled to take place on December 25th has been cancelled due to various reasons (Please check the details in the email that was sent to everyone who made a pre-order).(I've sent an email to everyone who pre-ordered, so please check back for details) I was hoping to see you this Christmas, but I'm really sorry I'll let you all know the details later." She took a brief pause prior to apologizing to her 38k strong fanbase on Youtube for the inconvenience while assuring them that she had postponed it to a further date.

Despite the fact that it appears that there is no underlying explanation, if one dug into the past, they might be able to uncover a plausible connection. The actress had previously undergone a significant weight loss journey after joining Ideapocket, to the point where she went overboard. I assume no one from her agency tried to moderate this habit, which could be a potential contributing factor to the condition.

"The supporter the clerk at Toys "R" Us gave me is quite reassuring!"

Another incident from her past that somewhat relates to her current situation has to do with the fact that she was an active volleyball player in her school years. Since the wrists are primarily used in the sport, this leaves less room for speculation, but to be fair, these are just purely hypothetical assumptions. We're not attempting to draw any conclusions from this. The best we could do is to send the best wishes to Kana for a quick recovery like her fans.

To this news, several of her peers reacted to the same by commenting on the tweet that garnered over a couple thousand likes.
