Deep's Talent Leaves Agency To Join AV Girl Band

In September 2021, Miro Nanasaki debuted from Deep Studio and is still new to the game considering she has only been in the industry for close to one and a half years. The actress made headline with her recent transfer. Miro recently left her talent agency Wish, to which she had been affiliated for a brief period since her debut and opted to go with NAX. Readers of the column, isn’t that too early for a newbie like Miro to hop agencies. I’d like to know your thoughts on this. Let us know.

For once I found her to kawaii for this whole AV thing, let us not ignore the fact that her studio DEEP’s has an affinity for models built like her and has a whole roster of those at their disposal. They sure like their girls how I do… petite built, accompanied with mostly kawaii features best suited to anime rather than JAV.

Interestingly, Miro is putting those assets to good use. Like I mentioned she changed her office and what’s one of those things that is bound to accompany a transfer in the industry? Well, most of you must have guessed it by now. The 20 year old already had a change of mind and preferred going forward with a name that really doesn’t make much sense as to why she even bothered changing it at the first place. By the way, her new alias is Miro Mamasaki, and I guess you all are scratching your heads like I did. It sounds similar, in fact even the characters seem untouched, well much of it. However, on the bright side her fans won't have a hard time finding her JAVs in the future.

In her announcement, "We are pleased to announce that we will be moving to NAX from Wish, a company that has been a part of our lives since our debut. I am pleased to announce that I will be moving to NAX from Wish, a company that has been a part of my life since my debut. My new stage name is Momosaki Miiro. I would like to expand my activities and grow from now on, so please continue to support me!" she urged her fans for support in the near future while openly expressing her interest in experimenting with a variety of adult genres, hmm sounds interesting. Let’s see if the makers could convince this newbie to perform a girl-on-girl scenes. I don’t know of you all but I’m buying it in case she decides to do it in the future.

Moving ahead with the column, the 20 year old has developed a certain knack to be inducted into the newly formed Japanese pop girl band Black Diamond, that comprises of AV idols, majorly. Miro has made several mentions on her feed and even gone on to mention them in her Twitter bio. Recently, much to the shock of most of her fans, Miro announced that she would be ultimately joining the band, which stars industry veterans like Anri Okita, Mary Tachibana and Ai Sayama. Perhaps this was what Miro had in mind when she said she wanted to experiment with her career, this is indeed a very nice development to start with.

At present, there are no developments regarding the newly christened Miro Mamasaki's AV releases. However, one could hope to catch a glimpse of her in a future Black Diamond concert. It seems like Miro's efforts to change her agency has certainly come to fruition, as she joins an all-AV girl band.

Overall, I’m excited of for Miro, her career seems to be taking an exciting turn and her decision to leave the agency and experiment with different genres of AVs indicates that she is eager to explore newer realms in the industry. In addition, her passion for music and her recent announcement of joining Black Diamond just goes on to showcase her versatility as an artist. It will be fascinating to see where her career takes her next.

Former SOD Actress Intends To Set A Record Post Leaving Studio

Last month, there was this buzz in the AV fan communities that AllPro exclusive Riho Fujimori had decided to cut ties with SOD Studio and pursue a wholly freelance career. Though some may have skipped on the news, those familiar with the actress had their JAV radar on and were quick to pick up on the announcement.

The 26-year-old actress, took to Twitter to give the necessary updates. In her statement, "I will graduate from the SOD exclusive label after the March release of Rei-Kirei-SOD!", Riho mentioned that she would remain affiliated with her current studio SOD until the end of March and fans could expect to see SOD roll out movies featuring Riho till that time period, more or less. However, post that there is an interesting development that is supposed to take place, The tweet has garnered a lot of attention. her industry friend Mina Kitano likely left an easter egg under the tweet claiming a jav in works featuring the two actresses.

If her statement is true, then this is an ambitious move by the actress, and she seems to be off to a good start in her new stint. Fans of her AV are excited to see her swiftly move on from her current employer, SOD and is willing to pursue the freelance route for a second time. I guess this decision has been quite fruitful for the actress. "From now on, during the 4 months from April to July, a total of 16 movies will be released by 8 makers! Honchu / OPPAI / MOODYZ / Lascivious Heaven / One's Factory / kira☆kira / PREMIUM / E-BODY. And when these four months are over..." As per her words, Riho will supposedly pursue a freelance career and release a net total of 16 JAVs in just a period of four months, that’s mind-boggling to even fathom post the implementation of the AV law last year. No doubt of the claim that her trajectory has faced a setback since she joined SOD last year. Riho might among be those special breeds of actresses who run their show on multiple platforms, not just Fanza but MGS simultaneously, referencing her works with Prestige, many of her loyal fans have praised her earlier performances before she joined SOD. In particular, her movies under the MGStage label are highly regarded by her fans.

For the most part, her statement felt like a light at the end of the tunnel for her distressed fans however, the actress left her fans anxious when she concluded her statement by quoting that once her works run out after the upcoming months, she remains naive of the situation and the way Riho put it, it quite frankly seemed like she had a big question mark haloing over her head. Currently, is unclear if she plans to retire from her adult duties or if she has other plans in mind, whatever it is is, is still under the dark.

Nevertheless, this single statement has sparked a lot of interest and speculation in the among her fanbase and industry pundits alike, and many are eager to see what the future holds for Riho Fujimori. Her decision to become a freelancer is no doubt perceived as a bold move by many, and it remains to be seen how successful she will be in her new stint now that she has decided to walk on it.

In conclusion, while some may have missed this news last month, those following the JAV industry were quick to pick up on the announcement that Riho Fujimori had decided to cut ties with SOD Studio and pursue a freelance career. Her ambitious plan to release 16 movies in just four months has left fans excited, but also anxious about what the future holds for the talented actress.

S1 Exclusive Heads To S-Flirt

S1’s 19 year old darling, who was formerly known as Aiho Suzu, has recently announced her affiliation with Sflirt, having left her former agency BStar, "Due to various circumstances, I have moved to a new office. I wish to say "I'm home" with a smile to all of you who have been supporting me. Please wait for a while for more information about my works". This news comes as an absolute shocker for most of her S1 loyalists fans who have been following her work with the studio since her inception. As is evident with the latest transfer, the actress has also changed her name to Rio Takeda with this move, "I will change my name to "Rio Takeda" and restart my activities." and I must admit it has a certain ring to it unlike the rest of the recently mentioned actresses.

I’d like to make it clear that there has not been any information released by the actress regarding her upcoming works, but the 19 year old did tweet that the information ban on her upcoming AVs is likely to be lifted soon, "When my favorite actress disappeared from social media. I was sad to see her retire. Well, she too was transferred. I'm sure I've worried about everyone in the same position. The information release is still a ways away, but please welcome back Rio Takeda with a smile. I love you all as ever! Her fans on the other hand, have been eagerly awaiting her comeback and have urged her to be more active post the brief hiatus she took earlier on."

In a shocking turn of events last month, her social media accounts were suddenly taken down without any prior notice, which certainly caused panic among her fans. A couple few from the adultboard, Scanlover speculated that she may have chose to retire due to the AV law enacted last year. However, subsequent to this mishap her accounts have since been restored, and it remains unclear why they were even taken down in the first place. Based on my assumptions maybe they were discreet enough to not her fans know of the announcement beforehand.

The actress's transfer from a renowned agency like Bstar to Sflirt has also raised eyebrows among the industry pundits as there are not many A-listers associated with the latter besides couple few like Ai Yamate. On the contrary, fans have welcomed the name change, citing that it is refreshing and doesn’t sound rebundant to the years.

It is quite common for JAV actresses to flip agencies in Japan, and it is usually done to further their careers. However, it remains to be seen what kind of opportunities this 19 year old gets ahold of with her new agency. Her fans are hopeful that she will continue to deliver quality performances and carve out a niche for herself in the near term. Besides AV, Aiho shuffles as a hostess at the Red Dragon Cabaret Club in Roppongi, making her one of the recent additions to the club’s roster.

For Aiho, parting ways with S1 after all these years would be a fool’s job considering how she has been a regular feature in S1’s roster. The 19 year old is possibly one of the studio’s most celebrated star and already has a work lined up for release, I don’t think with the new transfer now, she wants to put an end to all that.

In conclusion, the news of Aiho Suzu's affiliation with Sflirt agency and subsequent name change to Rio Takeda has created quite a buzz among her fans. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her upcoming work, her fans remain optimistic and supportive of her career. Only time will tell what the future holds for this AV actress, but one thing is for sure – she has captured the hearts of many with her talent and beauty.

It seems like Rio Takeda's social handles have been taken down at the time of publishing this column. All the quotes mentioned in this column were made by the actress and cited on this column as per the source.
