Founded in early 2002 Prestige has become a major porn maker in the JAV industry. For some fans Prestige is just a studio but they are actually so much more than that. They are a media conglomerate with many studios underneath them and owners of MGSTAGE, Prestige’s very own storefront. They sell merchandise, Hentai, and they have even gotten into Apparel. A competitor to the other makers in JAV including Soft on Demand and Fanza / DMM. They made waves in 2021 when they announced that they would no longer be selling their videos in FANZA. A move spurred on by unequal profit cuts with Prestige wanting more of their fair share. However it would be a short lived move with them quietly returning to the rival storefront some time later. While perhaps not quite as big as those juggernauts this maker has carved out their own niche through two decades of business.
They might be more than a studio but really Prestige is still in the business of making porn. When they first started out they had a variety of labels with no real cohesive vision. Mainly vanilla amateur / gonzo style videos and odder restraint BDSM like stuff. It wouldn’t be until the emergence of their label Absolute that Prestige struck gold and developed the style they are known for today. That said Amateur porn is their bread and butter and makes up a vast majority of their works. They make far more Amateur porn with dozens of labels and sub labels. But core JAV fans such as myself care more about exclusive high end talent which they provide in their flagship label Absolute. At the helm of the ship is Absolute who has become their well-known exclusive actress label that has spanned across multiple Video codes now. It's their leading Prestige studio for many JAV fans and the face of their brand. Fans will use Prestige and Absolute interchangeably but Prestige is the head maker while Absolute is just a label. However the branding is so strong so fans use Prestige when they really are talking about just Absolute and even Prestige has melded the two together. So when we talk about Prestige nine times out of ten we are talking about Absolute.
In the past Prestige could count on the busty and curvy figures of actresses like Shunka Ayami, Kirara Asuka, or Mion Sonoda. But with the loss of these talents to rival studios or retirements they have shifted a bit towards the less well-endowed. Looking at their exclusive roster in Absolute, it is clear that they have a new type. To go with that Modern day Prestige has definitely developed a distinct style of videos to highlight their favored actresses. Today they favor more petite women with slim, slender, or downright skinny bodies with more conservative hairstyles. The studio isn’t afraid of featuring women with smaller breasts or less than curvy figures, in fact they welcome in them. Pale, dainty, and innocent looking women with slim or skinny bodies that have become Prestige’s calling card today. Thin and or smaller women like Airi Suzumura, Umi Yatsugake, Non Nonoura, Rumina Yuki, or Remu Suzumori. However they aren’t exclusive to that with busty and curvy actresses like ample chested Asuna Kawai or the bottom heavy Suzu Matsuoka rounding out their roster at times.
Past Stars
In the past Prestige has been home to some big names like Kirara Asuka, Kaede Fuyutsuki, Rola Misaki, and Mion Sonoda with the biggest name in their history being Shunka Ayami. Kirara might be the most popular actress overall but she is more known for her S1 days while Shunka really built up her popularity while within Prestige. She was their superstar for a while until her defection to S1 later which was a big for them. A great actress with a toothy smile, she’s known for her slender body, ample perky breasts, and easy curves. A fantastic medium figure that should satisfy anyone, she is an easy recommendation for any fan. They also had Kaname Otori for a hot minute a Youtuber turned JAV actress who was quite popular for however short her time in JAV was. Rola Misaki a Russian and Japanese hafu who was popular for a short time. As did the slim and skinny Kaede Fuyutsuki for a stretch. And for all the poaching by S1, Prestige got even by stealing Mion Sonoda from them. Criminally underrated and like Shunka she has a fine curvy and busty body that is so well-rounded.
Today Remu Suzumori has taken the mantle and become their biggest star. Wildly popular online, Remu perfectly embodies what Prestige is all about now with her slim and slight frame, ample chest and modest ass. Pale, pretty, and one heck of a performer who is more than down for hard and sloppy sex. While she is the Queen now if we are talking about the best Prestige actress of all time that goes to Airi Suzumura. Now active for well over a decade and all of them with Prestige. Beloved for her fantastically passionate performing in contrast to her very quiet personality and of course that amazing ass of her. She remains popular even after all this time and should go down as the companies best known actress. Rounding out the big three is Umi Yatsugake who is even less curvy than the two before. A flat chest with a small ass hasn’t stopped Umi from becoming one of Prestige’s most popular stars today. Loved for her small figure, fit body, and that ultra-adorably cute face. Among their roster today they have solid talent like Meguri Minoshima, Mai Nanashima, and Yū Rukawa alongside veteran talent like Asuna Kawai and Non Nonoura with promising rookies like Rin Suzunoya and Shizuha Takimoto.
When you see a Prestige girl you can expect a certain type of actress. Compared to other exclusive actresses from the big studios, the women at Prestige have harder and rougher sex. Hard piston pounding is common place with the action getting pretty sloppy and messy with all the sweat and squirting. As is casual deep throating blowjobs, a studio specialty. By the end of scenes the talent are usually dripping wet with sweat, squirt, and cum. They like to take their small spinners and go to town on them. Prestige might call them idols but they let their talent go wild in their videos.
Most Popular Series
Natural Juice: Derived from natural ingredients with % 120 Series
First up is the Natural Juice, arguably their most popular and one of their longest running series now. The Natural juice formula involves a whole lot of sweat, spit, water, squirt, and cum. They’ll use whatever they can think of to get their ladies nice and wet; humidifiers, heaters, drinking plenty of water (hydration is important), or even feeding them spicy food. The goal is hot, messy, sloppy sex. And if you are a fan of seeing gorgeous women fucking to the point of being breathless, red faced, and dripping wet than this series is like being a cat in a catnip store.
Female Sports Managers are our Sex Pets Series
Natural Juice: Derived from natural ingredients with % 120 Series
Fans of Squid Game might recognize these similar looking uniforms. As the name suggest The Female Sports Manager places their actresses as the sports managers of high school sports teams and clubs. Giving their all, these manager’s help satisfy the needs of their players. Lots of sporty outfits and sexy time fun out and around school. The title also sometimes has a group sex element to it. It’s not unusual for the ladies to service groups of guys at once or take a massive bukkake loads from an entire team.
First time in my life, I was in a daze, and I was having climax sex Series
This series is all about giving women the best, most intense orgasms possible. Teasing and edging them to pure sexual ecstasy for body shaking climaxes. One fun wrinkle that this series likes to play with is the teasing. Some start out with the girl getting played with by rubbing, fondling, vibrators, and the like while restrained or blindfolded. As the male talent has sex with another woman right next to our actresses. Our actress has to watch in agony as another woman gets all of her fun as she has to beg for it. A pretty fun series similar to Natural Juice but without the focus on the waterworks.
Sporty Sweaty Sex & Omotenashi (Hospitality) Series & Super Transparent School Series
Prestige likes their costumes as much as the next studio. First there is the Sporty Sweaty Sex series, another sweaty sex theme (starting to see a theme develop?). This series features a wide variety of sporty outfits from tennis, basketball, swimsuits, bicycling, volleyball, and my favorite archery. The Hospitality series is about pretty traditional inn owners giving their weary clients sweet relief. Aside from the traditional kimonos they also feature enticing see through varieties. A costume it shares with the Super Transparent School series which goes all in with the transparent clothing but in a school setting.
Virgin Popping Series & Prestige Amateur / Gonzo Labels
A relatively newer series from their Kanbi label. Prestige has other labels for newbies but this one is made in mind for their more mature and older new debuts. A good match for milf fans. The label’s interesting because it’s becoming one woman show basically with Minaho Ariga. Ever since her fantastic debut, Kanbi has been all about Minaho and for good reason. Minaho was one of my favorite debuts of 2021. Time will tell if this label has staying power but for now Prestige is backing it hard. Theyhas quite a few amateur labels starring unknown or small name actresses often uncredited. Labels such as Harvest, Jackson and Yorozu (Jack of all trades). True to form many of these videos go for the gonzo / home video angle. Lots of handheld cameras and partying in the nightlife before going to hotels for sexy time fun. I’m more interested in their main label and less so for amateur stuff in general but they have loads of content for fans of this type. This is where Prestige's bread and butter is but I'm more interested in the main course.
Ejaculation Executioner Officer Series
Finally a personal favorite of mine. This short running series was about female Ejaculation Executive Officers, law enforcement officers whose jobs it is to dole out justice with an iron sexual fist. A plot heavy title that changes power dynamics from scene to scene. One could be femdom like with our leads being domineering and haughty as they jerk off criminals and evil doers as punishment. While in the next scene they could be taken by said evil doers and made into their submissive sex toys. The roleplaying switching is too fun and it’s a shame that this series only has a few titles in it but after a long hiatus a new entry has come out.
Summary
Compared to the other mainstream studios, Prestige is not as flashy or big. Their productions aren’t as large nor do they have the most well-endowed ladies around. But they punch above their weight class by catering to a certain taste and developing a unique style to match it. If you are a fan of petite, slim, or skinny women than Prestige’s exclusive roster has plenty to satisfy you. And unlike the more prim and proper idols of other studios, these ladies go hog wild. Rougher, wilder sex that ends in a glorious sloppy mess by the end of things. If that sounds like your jam than Prestige is absolutely the place to go to.
