JAV News Roundup - October Edition - Volume 4

We have some scorching hot headlines this time, straight from Hong Kong. A lesser-known former AV actress who pursued AV under the alias Noa Aizawa along with a few other escorts were detained in Kowloon's Tsi Tsu Mai district on suspicion of engaging in forbidden work. According to local accounts, of the sixteen detained, four came from the mainland, while the others were considered expatriates and flew in from other countries, with the former adult performer being the only one using a Japanese visa. The gang was exploiting Aizawa's previous adult videos to advertise her services as a sex worker on the Russian messaging app Telegram when the Hong Kong authorities got a tip about them.

The crime syndicate was found to be courting women to the city to provide sex services as the pandemic restrictions loosened, allowing the crime syndicate to conduct activities in a free flow as long as the women stayed within the boundaries of the opulent resort located in Hong Kong's Tsim Tsa Tshui. A special unit then began posing as clients in disguise as they began tracking the nefarious syndicate. Noa, being one of the sixteen arrested in the raid, was staying at the resort while working for the syndicate, providing sex services to customers for roughly 6,000–7,000 Hong Kong dollars (or up to 28,000 Taiwan dollars)—more than 130,000 yen or almost $1,000 US—even though it was later claimed that more than half of her fee was commission.

She was allegedly brought in by a member of the criminal syndicate who gave the once active adult performer a free flight to Hong Kong in exchange for sexual favours. The 27-year-old, who made her debut in the industry in 2018 under the alias Mei Narusawa had since gone on to work on significant feature films for prestigious studios including Premium and SOD. With a sharp fall in AV activities and in the actress' own words revealed to the magazine Prime, she later chose to make a comeback under Capsule agency in 2019 as Noa Aizawa, confirming that she had only one AV to her credit. Rumors were also rife that the pandemic put an end to her career, compelling  her to leave the adult industry and look elsewhere, the most likely of which were working a soapland lady or offering siimlar services.

Prior to traveling to Hong Kong on a travel visa to pursue her ambitions of serving international clients, it appears that Noa also worked at the Urekaji Spa during this time. She seems to have had her profile removed from the agency's page as of the time this column was being written. The former adult performer appeared to be making an effort to offset her income loss as a result of the pandemic, but fate had other plans for her. For violating the terms of her stay in Hong Kong, Noa now faces a potential sentence of two years in jail and a maximum sentence of three years in prison. But the ringleaders have evaded capture thus far. She is 27 according to media accounts of her detention. (several years older than what Japanese online sources had given her age). 

Noa's is just a needle in the haystack of several of those actresses turning to questionable means to support their career post retirement and her case stands as a wake up call to the authorities who passed such a stringent law that may force actresses out of work and pursue such means to support their lifestyle which ultimately leads to treacherous repercussions similar to that of Noa.

Aoi Tsukasa Makes A Surprise Appearence On Twitter

After hearing this news, Aoi Tsukasa fans who were in despair may have sighs of relief. Despite rumours that she wasn't a fan of the platform, though she remains quite active on Instagram, the former gravure turned AV idol made a comeback on it. The eightman exclusive, who has worked in the office since her debut, tweeted the news on behalf of the actress and included a screencap of her bio. It's very simple to deduce from the bio that the 32-year-old had briefly recaptured her Twitter account and would be using it to make important work announcements, as well as occasional details about her personal life pertaining to her pet feline, latte. "Hello everyone on Twitter, it's been a while, but I'm going to post some news and updates on my cat, Latte, for the next two months only. I'll be posting some things I want to tell you and how my cat Latte is doing for two months only." How could I possibly skip that?

On a first glance, the Twitter seems more of a fanpage dedicated to her feline since the majority of the timeline seems filled with pics of the pet in line with certain trivias related to it. Not entirely denying the fact that Aoi hasn't tweeted recently about her career. The eightman-affiliated celebrity made the shocking announcement that she would be appearing on TV Asahi's highly regarded chat show Iwakura and Yoshimuzi later this month, "We had "What kind of a person is Tsutsukasa Aoi..." featured on TV. The first installment was broadcast on October 25." followed by a followup episode that will run earlier in November. The 32-year-old actress confirmed this by making a batch of photos for her admirers available that provide a behind-the-scenes look.

Aoi, who made her AV debut in 2010 under the S1 label, has enjoyed a successful twelve year stint in the adult industry. Her credibility knows no bounds, so now seems to be the perfect time for her to break into the mainstream industry. It is admirable that one can continue to uphold her eloquent feminine elegance despite working in a field that actively seeks to portray women as sexual characters. Further, it is only fair that she finally receives the widespread acclaim she has worked so hard for over the years.

Turning a blind eye to the rumors of her splashing money on lipsocution to upgrade a few of her cosmetic features, it baffles me to realize that there are very few actresses of Aoi's calibre that exude the same elegance and charm both through their looks or personality. The format of the show is under wraps, but if I had to guess based on the scant information circulating on her Twitter, it would appear that each episode will focus on Aoi's life in an effort to figure out who the actual person is, making for an intriguing watch for the fans. Her agency appears to have been instrumental in assisting Aoi in obtaining this feature. Reportedly, the agency's producer worked to convince the show's directors to produce feature-length episodes about the adult performer.

"AV actress to be featured on terrestrial TV for two weeks. Picking up an AV actress - Tsukasa Aoi, and composing a program only on her. The producer who made the decision, convinced the TV station's executives, and made the show happen... The two MCs who warmly welcomed the audience and managed the show in a funny and entertaining way... It's a funny and very passionate show!" In all honesty, I'd be thrilled to have a behind-the-scenes look at an AV actress's life, and I believe our readers would agree. The tweet prompted responses from her coworkers. Coming up next, Tsukasa will appear in a bukkake themed title for S1.

Kana Momonogi Debuts On Youtube

With the recent trend of adult performers scouring Youtube as an alternate avenue away from the mundane industry fixtures, the number of actresses shifting to the platform in favour of a mainstream acceptance is growing day by day. Most recent to hop on the trend is Ideapockets very own Kana Momonogi, who recently broke the news on her Twitter timeline. The 25 year old actress who's celebrating her 7th year in the industry made her fans wary via a tweet. Further on, in the couple minute video Kana shared her motive behind venturing out to the platform. 

Contrary to popular belief it's not her first time on the platform, despite claims the actress had tried her hands on putting herself to a wider audience by leveraging Youtube and had amassed a sizable 14k fanbase but much to her dismay, making her shut the account due to lack of response. Though she had failed earlier, Kana's motives to go on a vlogging spree remains different than earlier. The Ideapocket talent mentioned that she'd leverage the channel to broadcast her culinary journey through the entirety of Japan. Yes, you heard that right! the 25 year old will go on an eating spree through the 47 prefectures of Japan in the later months of 2022, to bring out the best food experiences for her supportive fans.

Alas, it would be a sight to behold, but we want to let our readers know in advance that it's advisable to subscribe to the channel and enable the notification bell so you don't miss any upcoming updates from the Lifepro star because, in Kana's own words, uploads will be inconsistent. Despite carrying such a slender frame, Kana is actually a self-proclaimed foodie, and a quick look through her Twitter feed will convince you of this. The actress is somewhat of a food connoisseur and frequently updates her social media accounts with photos of her culinary adventures.

In honour of the actress' seventh year in the industry, one of her friends surprised her with a lavish meal by the riverside during her most recent outing. Kana previously expressed gratitude to her followers for their support over the years, saying that it made the experience worthwhile in a statement on her official Twitter handle, "A good friend of mine told me to come to Takamatsu without asking any questions, so I went to Takamatsu by myself and he took me to a nice hotel in Naoshima to celebrate (He is an old and dear friend who celebrates our anniversary every year!) The scenery was really beautiful and I took a lot of pictures, so I'll post more on my instagram!". The Lifepro talent acknowledged receiving an Apple watch from her office manager in a previous tweet, "I bought myself a present for my 7th anniversary.I even got it written on a plate lol I've heard that the Apple Watch is also very useful as an alarm to wake me up in the morning, so even though I'm a naked person when I go to bed, from now on I'm going to nap with just my watch on. By the way, the present from the chairman was the right thing to take a medical checkup!" while noting that she is sort of a nudist who enjoys resting bare-clothed. That's a lot of inside information for the day. *smirks*

Most of her fans hold a contrary opinion, asserting that she underwent cosmetic surgery to get where she is now despite making her on-screen debut as a chubby 20-year-old under IdeaPocket in the middle of 2015. While that is somewhat true, you cannot disregard the fact that it was her consistent performance over the years that propelled her to where she is at this point in her career. Readers, we'd love to hear your view on this! Comment down below.
