JAV News Roundup - December Edition - Volume 2

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

Former S1 Actress Faces Work Shortage

To the surprise of most fans, Hinata Marin hasn't really been able to capitalize on her transfer to Premium. The 25 year old who left S1 for the production house Premium, is currently going through a rough patch in her career. As her work remains stalled, the former S1 idol seems quite pragmatic regarding the situation as in an earlier tweet, she referred to what could be a dire strait quite elaborately, "Today is December. Due to the new law, there will be no shooting in November and December, that means the year will end without sex" the actress blamed the new law to have confined the release of her future JAVs bringing the tally down drastically to zero."

Further in the tweet, Hinata was seen referring to the final event scheduled for this month, which much to her dismay had to be called off due to her health complications. "Also, I definitely want you to come to an event in December since the release opens. I haven't decided on next year's ship preps yet."

In her time with the studio, the Tokyo based actress had managed to deliver a mere two JAVs in all these months which begs to raise the question; Did her decision to leave a top tier studio like S1 legit backfire on her? The fans might certainly have felt this for a fact ever since she flipped studios. If one were to judge by her tweets, a JAV in the works with studio Rebecca is already on its way and could hit store shelves earliest by next month. Glad, it was confirmed by her agency TPowers in a different tweet, altogether.

The hype surrounding her final event of the year soon subsided among the fanbase as the 25 year old took to Twitter to apologise for the delay. "The calendar event on December 6 will be postponed. I know you missed some work and stuff, I'm really sorry"

"I have no fever and my throat is mysteriously sore and I can't talk. I did some tests and it seems to be a cold, not corona. I went to a hospital that was open on Saturday, but just to be safe, I will go back to a different hospital on Monday to get it checked out." The actress claimed to have caught a cold, bashing any rumors of being infected by COVID although later she mentioned a further visit to the hospital just to confirm the fact. In a completely unrelated tweet, her agency, Tpowers, reiterated the same. 

Even the reviews speak for themselves: two of her earlier works with Premium have been able to attract a sizable audience. Though it is more than enough to keep her afloat for a time, Hinata might find herself at a crossroads having traded herself to Premium rather than sticking with S1 if there is no additional release in the erstwhile. In the near future, it will be interesting to see if she can recover.

Actress Bids Farewell To AV

In a nod to the previous column, another adult actress who was 'not-that-popular' bites the dust. Although it appears very different from the actress's true representation, one could argue that Amane Reina, or Amane Love as she is known among a specific subset of JAV fans, may have fallen victim to the delinquency of the industry.

With the extent of actresses leaving the industry in the erstwhile, it almost seems too uncanny to believe but I duly hope it's not involuntary in Amane's case. Unlike Moe, Amane didn't really have much going on in her AV career with a handful of appearances in multi starrer JAVs under somewhat renowned studios which kept her career afloat. Besides the fact that whatever fan  recognition she upheld should be given due credit to her G-cup breasts, there's not much element involved in her overall portfolio as an actress. 

Despite having a headstart with a Prestige debut, the 20 year old actress couldn't manage to scale her career graph in this one and a half year period prior to her career being cut short by the sudden announcement made earlier this month. The comment section on her retirement post presents a fair possibility that her fans speculated about this move, they saw it coming. 

Beginning January 1st, though Amane's AV career would remain a thing of the past, there's certainly no denying that the G-cup beauty made amends on her retirement post to try to stay relevant among her fan circle through different social mediums.

"We are pleased to announce that Amane Love has decided to retire from AV acting. It has been 1 year and 4 months since my debut. Have I been able to bring dreams and hopes to many people?"

While discussing her future plans post retirement, the former AV staffer chose to plug her public social media accounts to stay involved with her fans as a 'normal person', "After retirement I am now a civilian. If you want to support me in general, follow me on Instagram and Tiktok. I will delete my twitter. My name is "MILKA"

In a later tweet addressed to her followers, Amane publicised her desire to rename herself to 'MILKA' post retirement. Going forward, I guess this title would resonate with her fans for a long time since it's easy to grasp and pretty uncommon. While you're here, don't skip on following the star on her latest endeavours. Since she is presumed to be quite active on Tiktok, it'd make up for a great avenue to connect with the former adult star.

"From now on, I will be droning on from the adult world to make my next big [dream] come true. I will transform myself into someone completely unimaginable from my current appearance. See you again somewhere."

The actress has since deleted her official Twitter handle.

AllPro Talent Quits Agency

Though the argument over whether AllPro suffered a setback might be put on hold for a while, I have my doubts about whether our next mention could be. With this column, we hope to convey to our readers that it's not just agencies that are losing out on talent; occasionally, studios are also affected, and the following story will undoubtedly address that.

Sakino Mizuki, an adult actress that Max-A had hailed as a kind of "Cinderella" figure during her debut, has officially severed her relationship with the production company as of this month. The 23-year-old actress remarked in a tweet that was shared with the public, "I will be graduating from MAX-A with the December release of my film. I would like to thank MAX-A for all the help and support I have received over the past year since my debut." 

Sakino admitted to having just one more release under the belt with the office for the year, that brings her tally to close to a dozen or so releases in just a matter of a year. Not bad for a debut year, considering most of the industry's top talents were brought onto their knees by the stringent AV law.

Though her motive behind leaving the studio remains unclear at the moment, it could be a possibility that Sakino realised that her days with the studio are indeed numbered or maybe the lack of work as an exclusive in the post AV law industry compelled her to swim against the tide and go look for other options. The latter certainly seems like a possibility as the actress was cited in her statement, "I will continue to work on AV with sincerity! I have already filmed for various makers, so I know it will be hard for you to find me, but I would be happy if you would watch my videos! Thank you for your continued support!"

The F-cup performer must have typed her testimony with a heavy heart while being grateful to her former studio. During an year long tenure with the studio, that saw her emerge as the face of Max-A, while often being part of exclusive collabs like this JAV with Hibi Hata gang commemorating the 30th anniversary or her latest work scheduled to be released this month under the banner pairs her alongside one of JAV's elite talent Mao Hamasaki, it's only fair that credit is paid where it's due. "I am really glad that MAX-A was my entry point to the porn industry. (Even though I am no longer an exclusive member of MAX-A, I would like to ask for your help in drinking and filming.)"

For the 23-year-old, becoming independent does actually offer up a lot of opportunities. She will undoubtedly receive numerous offers, but figuring out how to manage the demanding schedule will remain a challenge. If I were to judge from what she said, I'd say that the actress won't be releasing any more films for the rest of the year since going independent, besides the one with MGSTAGE that has been making the rounds on her Twitter. Sakino has a lot in store for her followers in the near future, therefore this does not invalidate her declaration.

It's still intriguing to see whether she succeeds or not when you take into account that she was selected to participate in a contest where the winner gets to record a voice-over for Crimson Youna. Fans of the F-cup beauty worried that if the affiliation ended, her public appearances would substantially decrease. Let us know what you think of this in the comment section below.

Saika Kawakita Launches A Fragrance Line

Who would've thought that leaving the industry just six months from her debut would actually work in Saika's favor. Her debut with S1 back in 2018 might've been the highlight of her career graph, so much to the fact that she chose to remain with the studio even after a year or two when she made a comeback with the production house in July 2021. Since then, the actress has been a part of almost a dozen or so films under the banner starring alongside some renowned faces of the studio such as Yua Mikami, Rara Anzai and a handful.

Given the nature of the adult business, one could get stuck in a rut. However, Saika could be proud of the way her career graph has progressed in such a short while. At present, the mere 23 year old seems to be headed to lead a fragrance empire of some sort like the Kardashians. Saika who recently wrapped up shooting for her next title with Flash, revealed via a tweet on her intentions of what went behind to achieve the final product, "It has been my dream for a long time to produce. I have produced a perfume that has been a dream of mine for a long time. I have thought of everything from planning to the final product."

"When you wear this fragrance, I hope that this fragrance will accompany you on one page of your life, sometimes gently enveloping you and sometimes giving you strength" the site welcomes you to this quote with stills of the actress posing with the product in different shades. Indeed, she exudes immaculate beauty. Rumors of the S1 exclusive undergoing cosmetic surgery to improve her appearance were also rife, but any such claim to me appears entirely phony. She still retains the same naturally slender beauty from her early professional years.

Saika divulged on inviting a lucky few to the handover party, details of which are still under wraps. "We will be holding a handover event on January 8. Reservations will open on Saturday December 10 at 13:00" I'll be tweeting the link to the site where you can purchase the tickets tomorrow, so be sure to check back there." The bookings will start early on December 10th so don't forget to add those to your cart once it goes live. 

Further in the thread, the S1 exclusive revealed to have crafted the 'eau de parfum' exclusively for her male audience. "The scent is for men. I have created something that I feel is very nice and attractive if a man were to wear it". I wonder, a lot of thoughts must have gone into producing the perfume that retails for around 12,700 yen as per the product page. Additionally, if one buys many perfumes that are clubbed to sell for more than twice as much, the online store will provide them immediate admission to the handover celebration on January 8th.

Saika's fervor towards her craft is commendable. Earlier this month the 23 year old slender beauty shared her plight on being shadowbanned by Twitter. In a tweet referencing the incident, Saika wrote, "Gentlemen. It seems that my account has been in shadowban since yesterday. I feel like crying at this point. If you could spread the post with the URL. I'd be happy." 

Though Saika refrains from tweeting lewd content in contrast to other actresses, I suppose this is mainly due to the fact that she is perceived as an AV actress in the public eye. It almost seems as though Japanese Twitter is ruled by a repressive regime because of the manner they've been banning adult entertainers in comparison to their western counterparts.

However, if rumours from adultboards are to be believed, the 23-year-old could return to work as early as January of next year. Aside from this, there haven't been any actual discussions of her returning to shoots. Her prolonged absence from the screens might have started infuriating her fans by now.
