Old JAV Stars Today: 2021
It’s easy to get caught up with whose hot and new but what about our old favorites. How are they doing now, years into their career. From big names to smaller ones, let’s see how some of these veterans of JAV are doing today.
First up is the ever lovely Julia, one of the most recognizable face and figures in the business. Things have sagged a bit for the seasoned actress; both physically and popularity wise. She’s gotten older and her sales have dipped. When she left studio Oppai (or was dropped as some speculated) fans began to wonder if we are seeing the beginning of the end of her career. If anything, her dip proved to be the boost her career needed. Julia is aging like fine wine. With her looks and persona, she will slide right into the milf genre. Personally, a more milfy a mature Julia is good in my books. She has also been on a tear recently. The last half of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 in particular. Spoilers but one of her videos will make it to my Best of 2021 list. She has really seemed reinvigorated in those stellar releases. If this is the backend of Julia’s career, I welcome it.
Titty Fuck For A Girl In A Reverse Bunny Suit. She Made Me Ejaculate Like Crazy In Hell
Check out this recent release of hers WAAA-103, in the quickly hot reverse Bunny Suit. The reverse costume is growing in popularity and you know Julia with her body is going to wear that thing. This is just an okay release, a bit light on full on sex but still fun. Not the best in the Julia-assaince (Julia Renaissance) but decent. The big appeal of course is seeing Julia wear the heck out of those outfits which she does. I also liked how much fun Julia had teasing the guys during all the hand, blow, and tit jobs. She might give their dicks a light slap or flick. Just a hint of devilishness not seen from her all that much. Not her best release this year (no I’ll be saving that gem for later) but solid nonetheless.
(that titty drop)
It was so great to hear that Minori was coming back to JAV. She came back with a much heftier body and older face. I do prefer her face from her earlier days but no one stays youthful forever. However, a thick Minori? Yes and yes. She had a nice body before but the extra weight has supercharged her body. Boobs and ass, Minori is much fuller than before. Body wise Minori is better than ever in my opinion. Unfortunately, she returned with Madonna who have kept her in mostly submissive cheating wife roles. But that’s starting to change with her taking on more assertive and willing roles which suit her much better. Let Minori fuck and enjoy it! What a crazy concept. Regardless I would say this was Minori’s best year since returning and she looks to be getting better and better.
I Am Exposing My Beautiful Bride
Minori’s release is a cheating wife video done right. JUL-724 has some delicious cuckolding action with the husband taking part. Her husband is the one to push Minori into having sex with other men while he watches or joins in. There is a great little scene in a hotel hallway where she sucks a guy off while her husband films it. A great drama title that flips the table on the usually cheating wife plot.
Airi has been a small favorite of mine for a while now. She has worked in mainly in submissive roles being the taken upon woman. For studios like the dark drama heavy Tameike Goro and the submissive only Attackers aka Attackers Hell. However recently in the last year or so Airi has begun working with more and more different studios. She still makes the occasionally submissive title but has really opened up her roles. From slutty ones, to more assertive roles, to even some mean bitchy roles. She's chosen late into her career to spice things up.
Airi’s video is the second in a new series. She plays a tutor who uses kissing as a motivational tool. It’s a great premise and one I hope becomes a regular series. Airi plays the pleasing and loving tutor well. Edging her student along and guiding him with her body and tongue. If heavy sloppy make out sessions sound like your jam give this a go. Here is hoping Airi continues this trend and keeps trying on new roles.
Iroha Natsume and older milfy type actress. Slim, slender, and beautiful as all hell. Seriously one of the most beautiful women in JAV, she has quietly put together a long career. She is also another actress stuck in the so called Attackers Hell. She’s worked for them for what feels like ages. Her titles are always at least decent but feel so samey at this point. Which was why her VR releases were so great and a breath of fresh air.
Iroha Natsume Is Your Lover Day Trip To The Hot Springs Spent Fucking Non-Stop VR
She made a pair of VR titles with Attackers that is unlike most of their stuff. Where Iroha is loving, playful, and sweet. No dark plot about making a woman have sex. Sweet intimate Iroha was such a joy to see, it’s almost criminal we don’t get more of it. Her two VR titles this year, IPVR-102 and ATVR-046, are some of the best I’ve seen all year. Somewhere in the top 10.
Asahi’s return was much like Minori’s. A very beloved actress returning with a bigger figure and with Madonna no less. Unlike Minori, I’m liking her return much less so far. She’s looked pretty lethargic and disinterested in my opinion. I'm not a big expert on her but Asahi seems to really thrive in aggressive or domineering type of roles, almost femdom like. Madonna is really doing her no favors with all the submissive roles they are giving her. Hopefully like Minori they start giving her better suiting titles. That or she should leave for a studio who is a better match for her talents.
Yui Hatano (cameo by Hibiki Otsuki)
It’s mostly business as usual for the JAV legend. Aside from a health issue during this year with her face (which you may notice something off in her more recent videos), she is mostly the same hard working actress as ever. What I have noticed about Yui recently are all her team ups. Team ups, team ups, and more team ups. Yui is your girl for any threesomes, orgies, or lesbian titles. With her experience it makes sense to use her in those roles. Pairing her with others is a great way to keep things fresh.
Reverse 3P Harlem Slut Special. We'll Twist Your Nipples And Cock And Make You Cum Over And Over
What a better team up to highlight than her and her best friend/life partner Hibiki Otsuki. Hibihata (their nickname) strikes again. First off what a cover. One of the best all year. The title focuses on nipple play with loads of tongue action from the dynamic duo. After all these years Yui can still get it. A great body with ample boobs and butt, there is a choice shot of her rocking rear during a reverse cowgirl and her riding side saddle. Heavy nipple play might not be my thing but seeing these two ladies move like one well lubed sex machine is.
Kana is another JAV veteran whose joined Madonna (props to them). She is a good as ever. Kana’s slimmed down a bit and is much skinnier than ever, which has robbed her a bit of size all over especially in the butt area. What she’s lost in size she is making up for it with fitness. Kana is quite muscular now mainly in her stomach and back. She has really aged fantastically; you couldn’t tell she’s been in the business for a decade now.
Kana has recently jumped off the Madonna train for Wanz and does so with an interracial title as her second title with them. She is as energetic, over the top, and ready to squirt as always. The ahegao queen is great as she has ever been. What really struck me about this title was her great ass and chiseled back. Kana is looking real cut at times. The one of the best IR titles of the year. Another of Kana’s videos will be making onto my best of list at the end of the year so keep an eye out for that later.
Iori is my favorite actress of all time but I have to say her career in recent years have been a bit of a disappointment. SOD have been using her as a VR actress for a good part of her videos. Couple that with the fact that she only releases a title a month and you have her only doing a couple of normal videos a year. She’ll have a banger of a title every now and then but such a small output means her releases feel really rare compared to other monthly actresses.
Which is a shame because Iori has aged finely in her later years. I still prefer Iori from the middle of her career but modern Iori is not bad at all. She’s much more stylish and is in the best shape of her life. Her butt looking much more muscular as a result too without losing too much of its size. The best of both worlds. At this point in her career Iori can coast until the end and I will still be there for all of it. But I’m hoping her career gets a jolt of energy and she gets back to making more regular releases and more of them.
I Was Out House-Hunting With My Wife When The Horny Real Estate Agent Hopped On My Dick!
Funny enough, I think the best release this year from her so far is the VR title 3DSVR-0897. Iori plays a real estate agent who spices up her sales pitch with some sexy time fun. A lot of the action takes place with people in the room or nearby. Iori is good as ever and her facial expressions are so fun. Be it giving head under a kitchen countertop or flashing her ass into your face; Iori makes the risky sex so fun. My highlight of the video is the bathroom blowjob. The dirty talk, the slow tongue action, and the strong eye contact. Every now and then an old actress reminds you why you like them so much and Iori does this here.
Smooth" Oil-covered 3 Production Airi Suzumura
Airi scared some of her fans when she went dark on social media after a cryptic message early this year. She’s never been the most social person online and fans are expecting her retirement after this episode. And I think it might be time. Airi is another favorite of mine and I think her releases these past couple of years have been subpar to her standard. She was really killing it until 2020 or so. She can still bang out a great scene or title with the right people but seems a bit weary overall. If she leaves then she has had a great career. If she stays I’m hoping she does well in both her professional and personal life.
(The Airi Surprise)
Her titles might be hit or miss these days but not this one. This title is prime Airi. ABW-124 squares the camera on her finely round ass. What a butt she has. That skinny little thing packing this ass should be criminal. Her tiny waist juts out to a great ass. Airi isn’t as skinny as before (she is still pretty skinny though) and that new weight seems to perfectly accentuate her bottom. The action uses plenty of oil to further highlight her derriere. If you were a bit down on Airi in recent memory give this a check. It’s reminded me why I like this skinny and round assed cutie so much.
I don’t really follow Minami but since announcing her retirement she has been on a hot streak all year. She is really ending her career with a bang. Making more videos than ever, interesting premises, doing tons of duo videos, and having a blast doing it all. If you were a fan of hers and fell off, now might be the time to get back on the train. We’ll have more on Minami in our retirement’s post later.
And so, ends our check in with some old stars. They might not be the new hotness but these stars still shine bright.
Til next time, FC out

I don't think SOD is dead in the water their biggest stars now are prob Suzu Honjo and Yuna Ogura and they still have Mana Sakura. Plus im a fan of the newbie Lauren Karen. While I wish Iori had a bigger role/was more active it just doesn't seem like it's in the cards at this point in her career. But it would be great if she left them and started freelancing all over...
Keep in mind that SOD has a ton of labels and stuff too. There are those big names on their main label, among some others like Kanan Amamiya, Mahiro Tadai, Hibiki Natsume, MINAMO, etc. SOD is doing quite well for themselves, you just don't necessarily see it since they left DMM.
SOD releases tons of content each month under their name. SOD Stars is just the tip of the iceberg. They're massive.
Easy: she physically is not in her top form and has regulated herself to doing one vanilla cheating wife movie a month. Before: perfect body freelancer doing various types of movies with various studios with a much higher monthly output to boot.
Ha. You can always give Hibiki the full shaft treatment yourself. I don't really watch her outside of her team ups with Yui.
