Ah yes, time for another New To Me series post. I can hardly keep track of how many I've done now, especially as the debut ones blend together. Regardless, I'm calling this 10 and nobody can stop me. Anyway, this list features quite a number of actresses I have seen over the past little while that just didn't make their way into any of my posts. I don't strictly wait for these posts to watch new actresses so I often have a backlog of "new to me" actresses for these posts. As a result, I've added the secondary bit on my current rating since my thoughts have changed since. I think you'll also notice a trend here, it's just the circumstances of who I tend to watch. With that said let's jump into this post.

Hinata Koizumi

Hinata wasn't someone I ever particularly planned on watching, just the luck of the draw of a GES video showing up. It's the only series that I watch every entry of regardless of who stars in the video so, like I said, Hinata got lucky.

Physically Hinata was fine. Her tits weren't particularly great, not just that they weren't huge like I prefer but that they weren't shaped the best and lacked a certain fullness to them. Her body was generally thicc though, which I think was great. Her ass was probably nicer than her tits, which was awkward because of the focus on her tits in the video. I thought her face was fine, nothing particularly special but I didn't dislike it either.

Performance-wise she was rather underwhelming. She could vary her expressions a bit but she seemed to lack any awareness of when to do so or when to be engaged. I felt like she just went through motions rather than thinking about what she was supposed to do. Hinata had been in the industry for about two years at the time of the release of the video so at that point she had better start showing more signs of acting skills than this, particularly with her being a freelance actress.

Rating - C

Ultimately I'm not really planning to go watch her again but I'm also not opposed to it. The thing with being a freelance actress is that there are a lot of opportunities to star in videos that look interesting so who knows what will happen.

Current Rating - B (D)

Hinata is someone I actually think got lucky because of freelancing. She's managed to stay mostly in a lane of big studios which has done quite well for her. As a result, there's actually a video I'm eying to watch for another post I'm planning later this year. I'm sure you could guess it if you tried but I'll avoid spoiling the video for now. With that said, there's also that D ranking in brackets which comes as a result of her retiring. She retired in January of this year and so we've seen all there is for Hinata, barring a redebut (which seems to happen every other day now). Assuming that's the case, I think the one video I intend to watch for one of the discussion posts is likely the only video I'll watch.

Maron Natsuki

I remember putting Maron on the noteworthy debut list in 2019 but I never actually ended up watching her. She was on a short list of potentials toward the end of the year but her fake boobs wound up being the deciding factor. She debuted for Idea Pocket but wound up leaving and going freelance before she could really hit her stride. Anyway, GES was a good way for me to finally watch her since I unconditionally watch all of them.

Physically Maron was as I suspected, which was okay but nothing special. Facially she was fine, I do somewhat wonder if she's perhaps only half Japanese. She had a bit of a resting bitch face with some maturity, not that I'm saying I dislike it (and I think Yuna Shiina, who also has that kind of appearance, is quite hot). I definitely wasn't a fan of her boobs, big and fake but not particularly nice. I tend to dislike fake boobs like hers, maybe if they're big enough they might be nice but not hers. You could tell with her titty fucking that she struggled because of the size and shape. Her body was otherwise nice though, slim with a decent ass. Not calling this top 25 ass but enough that you can enjoy it for sure.

Performance wise Maron was kind of whatever. I would have hoped for something a bit better from her at this point in her career. As it turns out, she had taken a few months total off, so this is more like still within one year of her debut. Given that, I think probably the performance was fine. Only a little over a dozen videos so not exactly expecting the world out of her. I think the biggest thing was that she was unable to vary her expressions, something I find a lot of GES actresses struggle at. They recognize the need to be seductive and in-control but just don't provide the best expressions or really any variation. Seeing the same smug look the entire time just feels like their face was broken or something.

Rating - D

I don't see any reason to watch Maron again. Who knows maybe her career takes off from here but I'm just not particularly interested. I could see myself watching the right video but sans something special like 10 Min or with another actress I really enjoy there's just nothing compelling me to watch her again.

Current Rating - D

Nothing so far has changed with Maron. As her output isn't too high I don't see myself interested in watching her. I do still think there are one or two series she could star in where I might watch her but in all honesty even if she does it may take forever for me to get around to it. The video I watched is the one series I watch every entry of, so Maron unfortunately already had her one chance.

Aina Shinkawa

Aina was a late 2019 debut that I missed, probably because she debuted rather late. I've since started doing a 4th look at debuts early on in the next year but I've only done that with 2020 debuts. Aina debuted for Prestige's Kanbi label which has a lot of actresses with huge variations in quality, so I may not have realistically checked her out. Especially since so many of them leave rather early in their careers it's often better to see them go past Kanbi before bothering. Aina, still here over a year later and freelancing seemed like a great time to watch her. I'd be lying if I didn't say that cover tempted me a lot and after skimming it and seeing it looked good I figured a watch was in order. I also would be lying if I didn't say that Mao being in it was also a factor.

Physically I kind of liked Aina. She has a cute vibe with a slightly older look to her. Especially wearing glasses the entire time (and being something she seems to do in general), she comes off a lot like Sachiko. In fact, the two have worked together before and it seems like a perfect pairing. She could realistically play Sachiko's older sibling and that would be amazing. Anyway, Aina was quite meaty as well, especially with some very nice legs/thighs to go along with a great ass. People talk a lot about a nice ass or nice legs but it's a super underrated quality when they both match up nicely. Her F cup boobs are no slouch either but pale in comparison to her rear and face.

Performance wise I actually enjoyed her quite a bit. She was able to keep her voice down when it mattered and even though she let go a little during intercourse she was able to bounce right back when necessary. She was quite good during the non-intercourse parts and the video had a lot of good opportunities for her acting to shine.

Rating - A

I'm actually quite interested in watching her again. As much as I'm not a huge Sachiko fan I would watch Sachiko with Aina. The glasses set her rather far apart from other actresses, those who wear glasses this frequently are rare. I think at the same time there's a risk her content won't pan out. She doesn't wear glasses consistently enough and I would want to see her with glasses, I think. She also stars in a lot of multi-actress videos like this so there's a high chance of not wanting to watch content because of it. I know her Sachiko VR looks good and that would probably be where I start with her. I have somewhat low expectations even if I am interested just because there's a lack of good solo content but who knows, it's still early on in her career.

Current Rating - B

Aina's career hasn't quite turned out to be what I hoped it would be. There has been a lot of mediocrity, something I pointed out as a potential problem for her. As much as multi-actress videos can be nice I actually find I rarely watch them. It's not that I think they're bad so much as when a lot of my watching is related to blog posts I make I just don't find those same opportunities. I highly doubt this is the last time I've seen Aina, I have actually seen her a second time in VR. Her ass is nice and I'm sure there will be another good ass video at some point that draws me in.

Honoka Tsujii

Honoka looked solid in some clips/covers I've seen here and there and I guess it was only a matter of time. Once GES rolled around it was her time to shine.

Physically she was solid. I liked her tits, big and juicy. They were a bit uniquely shaped in that they are rather wider than most tend to be (very reminiscent of Marina Yuzuki's for anyone that knows her), but I didn't actually mind. She was also a good mix between pretty and cute. I found her to be decently thicc as well with an ass that was not half bad. The video didn't really give a lot of good ass shots so it was quite difficult to get a good sense of it. It seemed to me like it was more big than curvy but again quite difficult to tell. One thing to note was that her stomach area seemed to have a lot of loose skin (oddly enough, once again like Marina Yuzuki), perhaps she lost some weight recently or something. It might also contribute to why she seemed kind of thicc.

As far as the performance went she wasn't good. Being able to smile when given an opportunity isn't really anything. I would say her expressions also seemed a little bit awkward at times like Aimi Yoshikawa's do. When it came down to it she was quite noisy in situations where noisy was the exact opposite of what you wanted to do. It reminded me a lot of Aimi Yoshikawa's entry in this series.

Rating - B

Despite a very poor performance I think physically she hits enough marks to be worth watching again. I can't really argue with someone that's pretty and busty as much as I may want to from that performance. She's been around about 1.5 years now but she also hasn't shot all that much and has often been relegated to lesser studios. With some more recent success at bigger studios that might be a sign of her getting a bit better. I know she has a time stop video for Oppai in a few days which is crazy to me because GES should have shown that's going to go horribly. At the same time it might be a way to redeem herself. Still, I would be surprised if I never watched her again. I can enjoy videos from actresses like RION and Aimi Yoshikawa so I can deal with Honoka here.

Current Rating - A

I've actually come to enjoy Honoka quite a bit. Her career has managed to see her working alongside other actresses I like such as Yui Hatano and Yuri Oshikawa, so the opportunities have come and given her enough to make me watch her. She isn't some S-tier actress that I think people need to stop and watch the way I've mentioned a few others recently (Akari Mitani and Nao Jinguji, for example), but she's certainly turned out to be as good as I had  hoped and that's all I can ask for. Speaking of watching Honoka again...

Rika Tsubaki

I knew pretty early on I would want to check her out, pretty and busty is my kind of party. She is a 2017 redebut technically but only a couple of videos so it's not like she was well known from before. It was just a matter of her getting into the right video and a pairing with Honoka Tsujii looked perfect as it would also be another chance to check out Honoka. Although I do tend to try watching solo videos for my first time watching an actress I can't help when good videos alongside other actresses show up.

Physically Rika is largely what I expected but not quite as nice. That's honestly kind of expected when you reference covers or stills, actresses always look a little less nice in the video because of Photoshop. Rika was still enjoyable though, cute and decent sized boobs with okay shape. I would say I found myself preferring Honoka to her physically (nicer boobs and face) but the two compared quite well in the video I watched.

From a performance perspective Rika was largely not very good. She wasn't really expressing herself well and you could tell when compared to Honoka (who isn't even that great of a performer in my opinion). She tried at times but largely her expressions were very dull and didn't seem like she was doing much at all. She did interact with Honoka in a lesbian capacity a couple of times so I did like that she showed some willingness to put herself out there a bit.

Rating - B

Realistically speaking I see myself watching her again. Physically solid with what looks to be a decent career. Hard to argue with her but I do think she wasn't good enough to dive head first. I absolutely think it's a waiting game for her, making sure she gets the experience and opportunities to do the right kind of videos.

Current Rating - B

While I still haven't seen Rika a second time I do still think that it's a waiting game with her. She does have some videos that look interesting, especially with some other costars. I would be surprised if I made it through the year without watching her again, especially since there are two of her videos I set aside to watch at some point. I can only hope she's improved or that the videos are particularly good.

Rika Aimi

Rika Aimi is an actress I really wouldn't have paid much attention for had she not starred in GES. But, such is life, and here I am watching her. She debuted at S1 and then left to go freelance where she did quite a bit of work.

Physically I wasn't that impressed. Big tits, sure, but they were unusually firm, stiff, and perky, to the point I questioned if they were real. Not sure they are real or fake but I would probably lean on the real side. Not quite bolt-ons or anything like that but they have some of the same effect with a bit better shape than what a traditional bolt-on would look like. I think on her back they jiggled nicely and looked real but in cowgirl they were just too firm to bounce. I didn't really notice her ass but I would say that's typical of a GES video. Facially I wasn't a fan, she has this weird look that comes off as more mature than she is. She's only 21 but I could believe she's several years older. I think perhaps that comes partially from a look that seems like she isn't full Japanese; I would believe it if someone told me she had some other southeast Asian mix in her.

Performance-wise she was kind of whatever as well. Not great but not bad either. She had some good expressions at times and then other times they were kind of average. It seemed like she tried to do some things for the plot but largely just didn't understand how to be expressive the entire time. "Ah okay right I should smile here" but then forgetting the next minute. I think I perhaps give her more flak than she deserves but I ultimately wasn't a fan.

Overall - C

I would say I lean towards not watching her again but I'm not dead opposed. Being a freelancer she has a lot of opportunities to work in videos that might appeal to me. Wanz Factor's 10 Min is a good option and there's plenty of opportunities to work with others. It seems like she's in the dumps with the studios she's often working with these days but it's also kind of hit or miss.

Current Rating - C

Rika is an actress I still largely don't care to watch but she did manage to star in Wanz Factory's 10 Min series as I had suspected she might. While there are plenty of videos in that series I have yet to watch that I would sooner watch than Rika's I would say Rika's entry does make me think I will watch her again at some point.

Yua Asakura

The video I saw was surprisingly the first video of Yua's I saw. I know she has a GES and I know for sure I'll be watching her again, she just happened to luck out with being in a video with Iori Yuki after Iori's redebut. Also a big thing to note is that Yua is actually Ayu Sakura, so this is a redebut. She took off most of a year after 2018 and then "exclusive rookie" nonsense; she originally debuted back in 2016.

Physically Yua was not as good as I had hoped. Her face was a budget Nana Fukada, in my opinion. She had some similar qualities and I could see her as the less attractive twin or something. Seriously, she looked a lot like Nana but nowhere near as pretty. I found that to be a big deal because I spent a lot of the video comparing her to Nana in my head and just being disappointed all around. Her boobs were quite big and nice though, not quite Nana nice but still enjoyable. They did pale compared to Iori's and so they just didn't seem quite as nice as they probably were. Yua was also a bit heavy, like Chitose Saegusa big, so her boobs didn't seem quite as big on her body. That isn't to say K cup boobs are small but just that boob sizes look bigger when the body is slimmer. Her ass was unsurprisingly a non-factor.

The performance from Yua was just okay. I felt like there was a lot of potential for her to do better but she wasn't quite sure of herself. I think director Nao Masaki, who I recently did a spotlight on, could have pushed her to be quite a bit better, which gives me some hope for her doing better in the future. There were a few flashes of brilliance, like a bright smile while vigorously riding the guy. A lot of it did feel like nothing special though, and I would have liked to see much more.

Rating - B

B is where I would rater her ignoring the fact that she has a GES video. She has some content that looks like it could be good, like a lesbian with Saya Minami. Her earlier content all looks rather mediocre and generic but maybe there's a world where I watch one of those videos. I think given that there's three interesting videos within her last five that there's a good chance I would watch her again. Again, ignoring her GES because I will watch that at some point regardless. She has potential though and if she slimmed up a little or became a bit more wild in her content she could really go places.

Current Rating - B

I still haven't seen her GES, which is a bit surprising to me. I am a bit behind schedule on some stuff I'm working on, but I undoubtedly will watch her GES this summer if not sooner. She isn't releasing a ton of stuff so it's hard to say I would watch much more than I've pointed out but still some potential.

Best In Class

Honoka Tsujii was, for me, the most attractive actress. Her face had this nice blend where it was going in different directions at once. I think, in general, it would appeal to a lot of people.

Yua Asakura had the best tits. Say what you want about size but at the end of the day my name is Oppaira and I like big tits. I would say that Honoka's come close behind hers though.

The best ass was definitely Aina Shinkawa's, she has a very nice ass actually. The ass on her cover might look like it's photoshopped to be so delicious but honestly it really is quite that nice. Aina also had the best body as a whole, her meaty thighs really complimented her ass quite nicely. Even if others had solid bodies there's something about it just all working together like Aina's does.

The best video was Aina Shinkawa's video. To some degree that is true because of it also starring Mao Kurata but honestly, Aina's half by itself was very enjoyable. The video could actually contend for one of the top 25 of 2020 so it's not just good it's great.

Aina Shinkawa was also the best performer. I actually feel good about saying so as well considering that all the videos g ave the actresses plenty of opportunities to shine. Four videos all from my favourite series and it's my favourite series for a reason. Aina really did do a good job of what she needed to in order to make the video work.

The actress I'm least likely to watch again is Maron Natsuki. Fake tits often don't go over well with me and Maron just didn't set herself apart for me to enjoy her. I'm rather glad I didn't watch her in 2019 knowing that I ultimately didn't like her.

The actress I'm most likely to watch again is Honoka Tsujii. While I know that Aina Shinkawa had the best score it's also true that it's been a while since watching these actresses. As a result, I've seen some of them a second or third time, or in Honoka's I've now seen eight of her videos. Astute readers will recall she actually made my top 25 of 2020 list. Her career has taken off fairly well and she's had a number of videos I've wanted to watch. The most astute readers will actually remember her showing up in the sales posts I do a number of times as a point to make that everyone seems to be enjoying her. After having watched eight video I feel like the probability of watching more is just too high.

With that we have another new to me series in the books. I have plans to do another later this summer and then I'll be pausing it until the 2021 debut actress posts start up in November. I hope you've all enjoyed my first thoughts on some actresses. If you have thoughts about them I'd love to hear them, as well as suggestions for who to check out in future posts. Until next time!
