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

Alice Nanase Turns KMP Manager

25-year-old AV sensation, Alice Nananse seems too glad to don two feathers in her hat now that she has taken over the manager role at her new studio, KMP. The actress seems to be on cloud nine lately, having debuted under the KMP banner as an exclusive actress and being recently promoted as a manager to the president's office. Mind you, in this case, we're denoting the studio's president. Alice recently sat with a publication for an interview regarding her latest move.

"I'm going to work as the manager today 
The photo is a miraculous time"

While it's quite obvious that having debuted during Covid times, it was an uphill battle for the actress to solidify her footing in the industry. Having worked under multiple banners to this day. Now that Alice has made a recognizable name for herself in the AV scene, a movie like this was expected from the actress to stabilize her career trajectory, having had enough experimenting with roles under different banners. As is quite evident from her interview with Taishurx, an adult publication that the motive behind this move was to gradually shift into doing more VR works in the future.

"Interview with Alice Nanase, who became the president's office manager of a major AV maker, KMP"

Being among the very few active actresses, Alice has paved her way into the hearts of her fans and now recently, to the president's office at KMP. In the interview given to multiple sources, Alice made it clear that her roles would orbit around the direction, handling PR works for the studio, mainly Youtube and events while subsequently featuring in AVs for the studio, multiple times a month.

Alice Nanase at KMP's 20th Anniversary Event

Gracing the 20th-anniversary event on behalf of the studio, Alice looked jaw-dropping gorgeous donning a pink top matching with a pair of denim for the event. While the studio organized the event to commemorate its 20th anniversary in the industry, the folks over at KMP took it as an opportunity to reveal the actress's exclusive affiliation to the studio and that she was being felicitated with the accolade of being the manager for the studio's president office, thereby basically running day to day operations around the place.

MKMP-463 | Midnight Cinderella

To make our readers aware, during penning down this column, a certain few shots from Alice's upcoming work with the studio were thoroughly teased through multiple of her social media handles. Now after a couple of days, the wait is finally over and seems like the studio has lifted off the curtains of her latest work, touted to be as "Midnight Cinderella". From what I could figure out going through the sample clip that it's a 'rags to riches story. Alice features as a welder in a male-infested workplace. I'd say rather 'masculine' and seems to be quite 'up the neck', with pheromones oozing all around her it's only a matter of time when she gets to discover sexuality and starts envision scenarios where she fucks men dressed as Cinderella, top to bottom in plush hotels rooms. The opening scene with shiny heels and a shimmering crown somehow acts as a reference to the climax of the plot. Since I'm judging by the trailer and not the entire film, the glimpses of the bare minimum sexual activity shown to the audience seem rather bland to me but I don't have a similar opinion regarding the plot, which seems rather invigorating. With the release date nearby, it's only a matter of time before the fans find out whether Alice's decision to debut exclusively for KMP turns out as a box office hit or a massive blunder.

Let's save it for some other day but for now, I recommend you to check out some of her socials pinned here or even drop by R18 to grab or rent a couple of JAVs, the new KMP recruit has featured in the past.

Mina Kitano Vows Exclusivity

Fans of the AV actress Mina Kitano who were disheartened by the fact that the actress took a vow to abstain from shooting for a while will probably rejoice now since Mina has declared that a majority of her future works would be Fitch & Honnaka exclusive, commencing with the recent release rolling out that captures the actress breaking all her abstinence vows. Glad that Mina lifted the ban on her celibacy. Imagine abstaining from the very act that you make you're living out of, lol.

The AV idol took the veil off on her decision in a similar fashion as her dear friend Riho Fujimori, who earlier announced to pursue her future in the industry in affiliation with the much-acclaimed studio Soft on Demand. While teasing her upcoming work with Fitch, the movie in which the AV idol stars as an office lady, Mina made her intentions clear with a statement that like her industry peers Riho, she too is ardent about pursuing the 'exclusive actress' path only this time with multiple different production houses, Fitch & Honnaka.

"Actually, it was decided to work as Fitch's exclusive actress."

HMN-185 | Breaking Abstinence At The End Of The Month

On the bright side, the sample clip released by Fitch looks okay-ish since I haven't delved into Mina's works lately. For obvious reasons, I believe a plot like that doesn't do justice to her first exclusive work with the studio. However, that doesn't imply that Mina has lacked in her techniques to satisfy her fans, rather on the contrary, those are some of the highlights in the minute-long or so trailer. From what I gathered, in this particular JAV Mina relied particularly on quite a lot of butt licking, fingering, and her pleasure arousal techniques. Since I'm not in the state to judge being not having watched a few of her previous works I won't certainly agree that these are not some of the tricks from her arsenal when it comes to arousing the viewers or whether it was exclusively the studio's demand for this particular release. While on the other hand, the Nakadashi themed title scheduled to be released later this month completely grounds Fitch's exclusive work. The JAV certainly has better visuals, and considerably visible acting and I could witness the fact that the makers have experimented with most of the scenes and that is commendable. On top of that it delivers on grounds of it being Mina's first abstinence work and all the hullabaloo there was to it on Mina's Twitter that backed up its launch. Fans don't pay for a deadbeat JAV so I'd prefer our readers rather go with the latter title, produced by Honnaka.

While Mina is cherishing her time as a Fitch exclusive actress and was recently a part of a visual interview with Fempass, a cluster of her admirers can't still digest the fact that her appearances would be cut down fairly after turning exclusive since most of these 'exclusive actress' tags bind these idols to a contract that permits them to appear no more than once in an AV in a month, some even allowing up to two times. While it could be disheartening but the fact that she decided to debut as a studio exclusive actress is a thing to rejoice about. Fitch or in that case even Honnaka aren't down the road shady studios, Fitch has considerably a better track record and has been in the AV game longer than few could fathom. I hope this brings some clarity to the doubtful fans.

Meanwhile what would be best for you is to follow Mina on these multiple avenues while also browsing through a library of JAVs from her pre-exclusive era, maybe even purchase or rent one, sounds good?

Moe Amatsuka Holds Concert on 8th Anniversary

Juggling between two career roles is rather tough but not when you are AV star Moe Amatsuka. The AV actress seems to have bumped into her newfound passion besides AV and is already capitalizing on her fair share of fame and fans quite well. The 28-year idol recently held her first music concert to commemorate her completing eight years in the industry, meanwhile also taking the opportunity to launch her debut music album through the event.

"I've been working on voice!
 Uh ... it was fun ...
 I really want to work as an erotic voice actor someday ...!
 I've been hoping for this job for a long time, but I have no connection ...!  This year ...!  please! "

The Faleno exclusive star teased a tweet on June 6th regarding her wish to work as an erotic voiceover actor which seemed to go quite well with her fans. Within hours, the tweet attracted a plethora of comments from Moe's admirers with some even speculating a move to the mainstream pop culture, quite specifically a career change. Fans were quick to react to the tweet, while one even expressed a desire to hear Moe's mellow tone.

Even though this was just a couple of days before the concert, a tweet by a Twitter user by the alias @nobuyuki43 in the later hours, confirmed the rumors and as was, and Amatsuka-chan put an end to those rumors by retweeting the tweet. Later the next day, the brunette beauty expressed gratitude to her fans for making the concert a sellout.

"We are looking forward to seeing you in the moon tonight!
We will hold it again this year, to commemorate the anniversary. 
It is the first album release commemoration LIVE I'm really happy because I've been working hard with everyone to achieve this.
Let's share the joy together"

The Bstar Pro recruit put out a tweet earlier that day directed to her fans. Quite specifically those among the fans who couldn't get hold of the tickets to the concert. Meanwhile her agency, Bstar seemed to offer discounted tickets for the event for her Fanclub members.

"And I overlooked it ...! Sally teacher
I got a very cute choreographer!
It would be really fun if I could do it with rust and everyone, and now my delusions are progressing Thank you very much for this"

Here's Moe thanking her choreographer Sally for teaching her a few steps to shake a leg while at the concert, also how considerate was she to go the length to get her a cute present for her birthday. The Japan-based choreographer revealed this via Twitter.

"Today's LIVE was also full of happenings
But that's it again!  It was like LIVE and it was fun! 
I hope everyone can get the feelings of the song
Actually, there was an unexpected smoke once, but did everyone notice it?"

Later that evening, the AV star concluded the event by putting out a tweet, also did she just complain about some random gas leak? Must have been one of those fog machines being misunderstood as a potential hazard.

While it's quite evident that in the recent times, with the chances of implementation of the new AV law getting narrower, the future of AV is in limbo and while it may come with certain dreadful consequences, it also may force these performers out of the industry and snatch their right of earning their bread & butter through AV. Even though it is too early to discuss the state of AV in the present, it is quite a certain the fact that it may come as a threat for these AV stars so performers like Moe aren't left with many options but to have a career shift in different domains, more specifically pop culture. To be honest, for a star like Moe it couldn't have come better than choosing to be a musical artist and hedging her future as a safe bet away from AV if need be. As is quite evident from this tweet.

If you missed out on Moe's concert this time and would rather not want that to happen next time, make sure to follow her on Twitter, Instagram and Youtube also just in case, she has a Fanclub as well, if you desire to join.

Yua Mikami Ventures Into Apparel Business

Seems like Yua Mikami has it figured out for a while now. Earlier this month, marked the completion of the idol's 7 long years in the industry, and to commemorate that her PR team teased a tweet, quite specifically on June 1 to a video announcement later in the day. In a quarter-long video delivery made exclusively on Youtube, the actress shared her intentions of pursuing an independent path after having completed 7 long years of her career in the AV industry. Furthermore, Yua seemed to spill details on her plans to launch a digital stylebook along with setting up her very own apparel line labeled 'Mistress'.


The video by the agency actress garnered over 150k views in a short while and had fans congratulating the actress on her new venture. The JAV actress was quoted as saying that the stylebook, now available on multiple channels including Amazon, was like a 'dream project' for her. For those wondering, a lot has been packed inside the stylebook in Yua's own words. Rest assured if you're planning to add it to your cart, you'd get a bang for your buck. 

"Significant announcement ????

 The first dream I've always had
 Style book will be released ????
 My favorite, private,
 Makeup, plain clothes, etc.
 I packed it all!  !!
 Really like a dream ???? Tears
 I also made an official Twitter account
 Follow that too ❤︎
 ⇨ @yua_stylebook
 Photos and videos are posted at any time"

A Twitter handle by the alias @yua_stylebook was also set up wherein the actress promised to post her looks and #ootds as time progresses. Expect a bundle of photos and clips coming your way. Also, I'm glad that her PR team didn't leave a stone unturned while promoting the now independent actress's new venture, opting to launch a set of her stills from the brand new stylebook in the form of NFT along with the paperback version to attract the Gen Z fans. Although it was notified by Yua that the NFT version sold out within hours from launch, seems as if AV idols are foraying into the NFT hype train lately.

In an interview given to gravure publication Fempass, the actress was quoted saying that she had mindlessly zapped through these past 6 years in the industry meanwhile trying to significantly overhaul her career starting last year in the AV industry. Opting for the independent path might be a freeing feeling for the actress who has been a part of this industry for quite a while now. As early as starting with gravure gigs and turning into an idol in no time while actively pursuing high school. Yua pointed out that being kind of a famous figure in the industry comes with its own set of burdens like being packed with work to the brim, contrary to the frequency of work she'd be featuring now as an independent artist. While being asked about her experience from the past year, the Ebisu Muscat star denoted the experience as quite dizzying to the fact that she had to spend most of the time behind the scenes for the launch of her new venture, in stark contrast to the surface level work she had done all this while.

The news of Yua venturing into the apparel space might come as a surprise for her fans, for some it might be hard to digest but to back her credibility the idol was quoted in an interview that she had interned under the famed Japanese apparel brand 'MiYours' for a while learning the 'in -n-out' of the game before setting up her shop. Moreover, Mina spilled some inside scoop regarding the origin of the name of the fairly new apparel brand 'Mistress' which even though being quite cliched rhymes with miss, resonating with a female figure. Additionally, Mina's real name starts with 'M' so that was the idea behind her intentions to name the brand as such, it seemed like a no-brainer move.

InRecently,he actress has rigorously pursued the promotions of her new venture with ticket sales for the brand's first exhibition show to using Instagram as a channel for the promotions. Till now, the hype seems to be real with the fans as well.

Here at Zenra, we could only do so much than wish her luck for her new venture. Our admiration for the actress is inevitable and as is quite evident we've reviewed some of her much sought-out titles in the past. Additionally, you could head over to R18 while keeping up with her latest ventures on Twitter or for that matter Instagram as well.

Minami Aizawa Turns A Year Older

Concluding this gossip column with a birthday post has become mandatory and much to my luck, an AV idol's birthday this past week seemed rather appropriate. This time around we have Minami-san turning a year older. The IdeaPocket idol who seems to frequently update her Twitter with daily doses of her entertaining tiktoks, seemed to take to the platform to acquaint her fans with the birthday post. Teasing a tweet that garnered over 20k likes, the actress seemed to don a corset-style wedding outfit with matching white stockings, while managing to look equally stunning posing in front of the camera.

"Today's birthday is celebrated 
 I'm 26 years old 
 Today is my 26th birthday !!
 I am now heavenly 26th anniversary"

While at the time of writing this piece, the birthday tweet already has over 1200 comments, most of those being wishes from her admirers. Among those, especially a couple few coming from her close peers and industry colleagues. Minami followed it up with a rather speculative tweet later dropping hints over an exclusive video delivery on the occasion of her birthday.


"Finally ... Minami Aizawa!  !!
 It's YouTube debut!  !! 
 Please subscribe to the channel 
 Finally ... I started YouTube !!!

As you must have figured it by now, this whole buildup was regarding her debut on YouTube. Having created a channel, the AV star urged her fans to support her on her new venture, and likely so the fans reacted accordingly. Now that is quite the way to surprise your admirers, fellow JAV actresses should take note of it. In a video delivery over a couple of minutes long, Minami addressed her fans & answered some Q&A for those wondering. With over 25k in views, it sure doesn't seem like a stat straight from a debut video. Minami must be so overwhelmed.

"Birthday presents that arrived at the office
I received the presents 
Thank you so much 
Thanks to everyone, I'm very happy
Thank u for sending me a lot of BD presents!
 I'm so happy today 
Perfect birthday gift!"

Oh, and did we skip on the good part? Birthdays and presents go hand in hand and while mentioning the star's birthday how on earth could we miss out on that? Well, as was inevitable the AV start did receive quite a handful of presents besides getting showered with immense wishes on her special day. Minami updated her Twitter with a sneak peek of the gifts and fan mails she received over the day, on the platform. You could probably spot a few Starbucks vouchers and a Gucci top from the lot. This just goes on to solidify the fact that I previously claimed in a column that these AV stars are super blessed. With such caring fans, it's hard not to feel overwhelmed at times. 

With Minami venturing into the video platform Youtube, speculations are ripe with the type of content the actress would prefer on uploading given her fan's preferences. I hope she posts entertaining content pertaining to a certain niche that would keep her in the safe zone as long as she doesn't start delving into borderline sensitive videos to attract viewers. Besides the IdeaPocket actress has  already got quite a big fan following on Twitter amounting over 600k followers, it's a no brainer that Minami should capitalise on that and start interacting more via Q&A sessions with her loyal fanbase on the brand new channel. Although I was quite amazed with how she initially decided to start the video and her fluency over the language, I later came to found out that Minami had spent a considerable time of her childhood growing up in the Los Angeles suburbs. Wow, now that's quite a fascinating fact I wasn't exactly aware of. Damn right, her english had to be good!

Now with access to Minami in a more personalized form via Youtube, don't forget to follow the AV actress's official handles on Twitter, Instagram & Tiktok with access to a library of her JAV's at R18.

We'd keep bringing you more such updates at ZENRA, to hop on the fan wagon follow us at Twitter.
