Madonna Exclusive Plays With The Idea of A Post AV Career

A Madonna exclusive actress finds her career lurking as she earlier announced her departure from her former agency, Sky Promotion, via Twitter. This time in focus we’ve the gorgeous MILF Kyoko Ichikawa who made her intentions quite clear with a tweet citing that she will be focusing on her activities as an adult content creator on certain exclusive fan sites and YouTube. While fans find themselves relieved that Kyoko has not yet announced her retirement from the industry, the 42 year old actress cites a lack of new work offers as the primary reason behind leaving her now former agency, Sky Promotion. On multiple instances in the past, Kyoko has criticized the new AV (adult video) law as the cause behind the shortage of adult jobs in the industry.

The I-cup goddess made her debut in April 2021 as a mature actress with Madonna, a renowned Japanese adult production company. Her departure from Sky Promotion and move towards the creation of adult content has sparked discussion and raised questions about the future of the Japanese entertainment industry and the impact of the new AV law.

"I have been getting very annoyed recently. I make a distinction between work under my name as an actress and work under another name. I have two jobs, one under my name and the other under another name. Please do not ask me or email me about my other job as an actress. I am not an actress when I work under another name. Please think of me as a completely different person. Of course, please do not mention my other name to those who work under the name of actress.

In an earlier tweet, the actress put forth a statement in which she complained of the nuisance that some fans have created regarding her identity. Further in the statement Kyoko clarified her stance that she works multiple AV and non AV job to support her lifestyle, as it’s certainly evident with the diminishing work demand post the implication of the AV law. "Please understand that I work other jobs because I can't make a living only as an actress. You work for a living, don't you? If this keeps happening, I will not be able to do it anymore. If you see her, please leave her alone. If you see someone who is interfering with me again, I will report them and block them. I will report or block them. I only want to connect with fans who really support me. Thank you for your understanding and consideration." She urged her fans to not indulge in such nuisances or face a ban. I don’t understand why some fans can’t just stray away from such controversial stuff and straight out support their favorite idol.

And our fellow writer Oppaira wasn’t sold on her face claiming that the idol looked “potentially half-Asian, perhaps with a mix of some South-American in her” in his early review of the actress. The 42 year old doesn’t garner much attention from the AV fanbase besides the hardcore Madonna enthusiasts. Sites such as JAVDatabase cite her breast size to be I-cup but in a recent tweet, it was found out that the Madonna exclusive had grown into a K-cup in the meanwhile.

"I heard that today was bra day, but I thought something was wrong with my tits when I was wearing a bra cami, so I turned it up and my nipples were popping out. I guess they don't make a bra cami for K cups. Bra vendors, please make K-cups!" Kyoko shared a tweet, making a subtle joke about her cup size. Besides she also runs one of a kind Youtube channel where she posts videos related to sex education and has occasionally posted Q&A’s related to the same. That’s quite a great initiative on her part and I see her maturing into some sort of a sex educator in her post AV career.

Since the inception of her exclusive fan club, Kyoko’s fans are eagerly awaiting to see what she has in store for them with her new venture. Her move towards the creation of adult content highlights the growing demand for such content and the changes in the dynamics that are taking place in the Japanese AV industry.

In conclusion, Kyoko’s departure from Sky Promotion and her decision to focus on her adult content creation is a significant event in the AV industry. Her fans will be interested in following her journey and seeing what she has in store for them in the future. The impact of the new AV law on the Japanese entertainment industry and its future remains to be seen.

Yuria Satomi Slated To Make A Comeback

In the recent months, rumors were ripe pertaining to the return of Yuria Satomi, the former Ideapocket girl, in the adult industry. It certainly seems as if those rumors are now becoming a reality as Yuria is slated to make a comeback under Botan’s banner, making her first known appearance in a while through a JAV set to release on February 17, this year. Now 38 year old, Yuria has made her name portraying the sexy seductress she is, oftentimes playing provocative and sensual performances in adult films being the nakadashi hungry demon she is. For the actress who has been inactive since quite awhile more than a year and a half now, despite rumors of her retirement from the industry, it seems that she hasn’t made up her mind on quitting the industry and is ready to make a comeback full time.

In her upcoming JAV, Yuria plays the role of a mistress who seems to have an affair with a married guy at some hot spring resort. As she goes on with her steamy affair, the potrayal feels more fitting to her character. The JAV promises to exhibit her seductive skills and enchant audiences with her enticing presence.

Since it has been a while now, the teaser for the upcoming JAV has stirred a fair bit of interest among her fans and industry insiders, who are curious to see if this will be a revival of some sort for her career or just a one time affair. Some fans are even speculating that this new release could initiate a start of a new phase in Yuria's career, as she returns to the adult industry after a while now. On the other hand, some fans believe that this could be just a one-time project, and that Yuria may return to her inactive state once the film is released. Only time will tell what the future holds for Yuria and whether she will continue to captivate audiences with her sensual performances.

Her bio states that she works at some cabaret club Muserva in Roppongi. I did a cross check on the claim and found her on the roster, so I guess that is where has been keeping herself busy with in the meantime. Oh and did I mention she also actively pursues Fantia on the side to keep the ball rolling. Fans have not been very inviting of the fact that she chose to pick Premium over Ideapocket, leaving her glory days behind her. Often citing of the lackluster in her works is pretty evident under the banner

Regardless of what the future holds, Yuria's return to the AV industry is sure to create a stir and bring attention to the genre. With her new film set to release soon, fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly awaiting her comeback and looking forward to seeing what she has in store for them.

Long Time Prestige Talent Decides To Leave Makers

Former Premium exclusive talent Mito Wakui has taken the leap into the world of freelancing! The announcement tweet of her transfer from the agency stirred a lot of buzz and gained upwards of 200k views on social media. Mito, originally a talent of Mine's, the talent agency confirmed the news with a follow-up tweet, which was more than enough for Wakui's fans to realise that she had just made a big move. The actress made her debut with Prestige last year and has been a frequent appearence in their fixture. Don’t know how the guys at Prestige would take this but I’m pretty sure she left a void with that transfer.

"Mito Wakui will graduate from Prestige. After graduation, she will make the most of her experience at Prestige. She is going to work hard as an actress. The next work will be released around April due to the new AV law. I will be working on my next film around April."

"I think there will be a lot of works coming out not only on MGS but also on FANZA. I am sure that there will be many more works coming out on FANZA as well as MGS in the future." On the other hand, Wakui's fans are enticed to see her make a comeback on Fanza, a popular Japanese adult video site, with her future AV titles that’d majorly be sold on the site where she intends to use her experience from her former office Premium to succeed as a solo artist in the highly competitive adult industry. The 23 year old actress has been dropping hints about her upcoming release, which is scheduled for April, and has meanwhile teased snippets from her shoots on Twitter, building anticipation among her fans. In my comprehension, Mito is determined to make the most of her newfound freedom as a freelancer, and her move has been met with a lot of excitement and positivity. With her background in the industry, the 23 year old brings with her a wealth of experience and a strong following, which she could certainly leverage to make a big impact as a solo artist.

As the adult entertainment industry is scheduled for a resurgence, critics are citing Mito’s decision to turn freelancer as a bold move that has the potential to pay off in a big way. Her fans can’t wait to draw down on her next release when it appears on FANZA. The actress made it clear through her statement that she intends to do well of her experience from her former office to succeed as a solo artist in the cutthroat adult industry. "Please continue to support me a lot! It is the year of the rabbit, the year of the beautiful rabbit. I will do my best so that I can be I will do my best" Accompanying the tweet was a pic of Mito dressed as a bunny since it’s the year of the rabbit and co incidentally she also managed to make it a deal mentioning that she hopes this year proves to be like a charm for her.

Wonder what the fans think of this move, with Mito now turning a freelancer does leaving an established studio like Prestige seem to be a safe bet for the actress or has she already peaked in her time with Prestige and her freelance run could be a dull run as some fans speculated on the adult boards. One thing I know for sure is the fact that she’ll enjoy the freedom which she likely didn’t have access to in her time with the studio due to contract restrictions.

Maria Hoshi Set To Make A Comeback Under Different Alias

After a brief absence that began in November of last year, a skilled and highly sought after AV darling is making her long-awaited return. Subsequent to being absent from the public eye for so long, fans have been eagerly awaiting for any news on her return, and by the latest developments it seems that the wait is finally over. Maria’s recent affiliation with Eightman might have come as an absolute shocker for some when her agency informed the public that Maria will be returning to the adult scene with a new alias. Further implying on the releases announcements that are yet to be made. "Eight Man New Member, Maria Hoshi She is one of the new Eightman actresses. We wonder how she will develop her activities in the future... Everyone, please keep an eye on her in the future."

The 23 year old ushered into the industry with her affiliation with S1 in mid 2020, since then she has remained exclusive to the studio till date raking in some heavily reviewed works with the makers. Despite the hiatus, Maria has managed to maintain a dedicated fanbase that has been eagerly waiting for her return. The agency has previously announced that further information regarding her new job and release schedule will be disclosed by the end of this month, so fans can expect exciting news soon.

While she preps for her debut, fans from some adultboards have been speculating about Maria's decision to remain with the studio and the direction that her new work will incite. Some believe that her change in name could be a way for her to redefine herself and start fresh with a new image. Others think that she may be taking a more experimental approach with her decision, exploring different genres and styles that she may have not had the chance to try before. Possibly even Fantia, referencing Kyoko Ichikawa from this column here.

Although there has been no word about a studio transfer, fans are eager to see what Maria's new work will bring. Her hiatus has only served to heighten anticipation and excitement for her return. As the release details are set to be shared in late February, fans are counting down the days until they can finally experience her new AV and see what Maria has in store for them.

In foresight, the 23 year old's comeback is one of the most highly anticipated events in the industry in the very first few months of 2023.
