Top 10 JAV Stars I No Longer Enjoy

Published : November 28th, 2022 Written by Panking

We've all been here, right? You have some favorite actresses and for one reason or another, you just fall out of favor with them. Maybe it's due to a studio switch, stale content, or perhaps a change in their appearance. It happens to all of us. You were once a big fan of a certain actress and then you just fall off. That's precisely what this list today is all about. I selected ten actresses of mine that I used to really enjoy but have mostly stopped watching. Without further ado, let's jump in!


Julia

Julia used to be one of my biggest favorite actresses for a long while. In the mid to late 2010's I was a huge fan with 2015 being her prime. However, I just can't be bothered with her anymore sadly. It's really unfortunate too as she's finally become a freelancing actress after being tied down to Moodyz and Oppai for the longest time. It's admittedly refreshing seeing her shoot with such a wider range of studios now. But despite this, I have little interest in her anymore. She's really starting to show her age, especially in her face. Her chest isn't that great anymore and the rest of her figure doesn't stand out too much either. I just have no attraction to her physically anymore. I respect her hustle and enduring career, but I've thrown in the towel on her.


Aoi

Poor Aoi. She used to be one of my favorite S1 stars back several years ago. Her body was killer as she boasted a great pair of tits, a pretty face, and a criminally underrated ass. She was an S1 mainstay for years until the middle of June 2019 when she took a long eight-month hiatus without any word or announcement. She returned in February 2020 but this time with Faleno and honestly, it's never been the same. Faleno just feels like a watered-down S1 with mediocre production values. I don't normally say this but I actually kinda wish she stayed with S1. I've seen a few of her recent videos and none of them really left an impact. Her body still looks nice at least but I have no real desire to keep up with her anymore sadly.


Yui Hatano

Who hasn't been a fan of Yui Hatano at some point? I feel like she's the perfect entry-level actress for anyone new to JAV. Her body is very well balanced on top of being quite pretty and being a competent performer. I equate her to being the vanilla ice cream of JAV. That being said, I've pretty much lost all interest in her. I used to be quite a big fan but now not so much. The last film I watched of hers was MIRD-221 which featured a multi-cast. She's just too dull to me now and I've become bored with her. Physically, she still looks fine, but nothing about her ignites much of a spark in me anymore. I fully respect her long and enduring career but I doubt I'll watch any new solo videos of hers anymore. I've completely moved on.


Aika Yumeno

I absolutely loved Aika Yumeno. She was by far my favorite actress at S1. And while I don't think her physical figure has taken a turn for the worst or anything, I just can't bring myself to watch her really anymore. Maybe her content has improved(I doubt it) but for a while, many of her videos felt very "samey" and repetitive. It's particularly bothersome when you look back at her earlier career and see a much wider range of content. Also, I must admit that Aika Yumeno just doesn't excite me anymore personally. It's not like she's terribly out of shape but I've just moved on from her. Perhaps I'll revisit her one day, but she's very far down on my watchlist at the moment.


Yuu Shinoda

Yuu Shinoda was once one of my top 10 favorite actresses. I looked forward to each of her new releases. But now, I rarely check out any of her newer content. And it's not due to her videos feeling repetitive or stuck in a backwater studio releasing C-tier content. She's still seeing ample opportunity with many high-quality studios. Instead, it's all down to her current figure. I'm sorry but she's way too skinny now. She's a damn twig. This also resulted in her ass not looking anywhere near as nice as it used to. Her booty was what attracted me to her the most and now there's hardly anything left. If she put on just a little bit of weight it would help immensely. But until then, I'm out.


Asahi Misono

Asahi Mizuno in her prime had one of the greatest bodies JAV. Her waist to hips ratio was incredible not to mention she had a top-notch booty to boot. Now I can't say that I was a particularly huge fan of hers like some others may be but I still enjoyed her. However, her recent return to JAV was a massive swing and a miss. I haven't watched every newer release of hers but what I did see left me very underwhelmed. It's clear that her heart just isn't it anymore and she's just collecting a paycheck. And I already feel "meh" about Madonna, the studio she was exclusive for. So with that, I really didn't care for her comeback sadly. I'll always fondly remember her prime years and will likely forget about this return. Hopefully, she can find stable work outside of JAV.


Mako Oda

Mako Oda was never a household name in the JAV world for the most part but I always had a soft spot for her. As someone who loves a nice busty milf, she filled that role quite well. This may surprise some of you but she's actually been around since early 2009 with her softcore debut and then shooting her first hardcore film in 2010. And while her figure still looks pretty nice overall I just don't have much interest in her anymore. Her acting still isn't that great after all these years with only minimal improvement. And she's firmly only getting cast in milf roles now which gets repetitive after a while. While I may check out an occasional collaboration video featuring her like, JUNY-072(which was disappointing btw), I doubt I'll watch any more of her solo content.


Yua Mikami

My current discontent with Yua Mikami isn't quite as much on her as it is with S1. With a few minor exceptions, every modern release from her feels like S1 is just recycling the same tired setup over and over with very little creativity whatsoever. Nearly all her covers and subsequent plots are identical just swapping out a few minuscule tweaks. Her career now just feels so stagnant. There have been some hopes that maybe she could go freelance but I doubt it. I think she's more likely to retire than to become a freelancer given how successful she is outside of AV. She's got a cushy deal with S1 and probably has no desire to rock the boat. It's a shame as she's still physically in fantastic shape but her films are just hollow and devoid of any real spark.


Yumi Kazama

Good ol' Yumi Kazama. One of the best milfs JAV has ever seen and is still going strong after 20 long years in the business. However, I don't really find myself watching any of her new content anymore. And to be honest, I think she's definitely past her prime. I won't say that she looks horrible but her figure has certainly seen better days. While I do love some thicker actresses, Yumi is a bit too out of shape now for my liking. It also doesn't help that most of her new releases now are with Madonna(fittingly enough) and I've already expressed my apathy toward them in prior posts. I'll always fondly remember her prime days but as she is right now I have next to zero interest in watching her newer content.


AIKA

AIKA has been around for over 11 years and is a household name in the business undergoing several different iterations. And while I used to be pretty high on her, I've pretty much fallen completely off the bandwagon. I think her peak was in 2016, especially when she was rocking silver hair. But now I just have no interest in watching any of her content whatsoever. I'm not a big fan of her face currently and her figure just doesn't do much for me anymore. She can still churn out a solid performance from the little I've seen of her recent content at least. But I've completely moved on from her nonetheless. Unless she stars in a collaboration film with a favorite actress of mine, I'll likely never watch her again.

I like your feeling about Aoi, i am thinking the same, come to Faleno is her big mistake. I am trying and trying everyday to enjoy her Faleno works but in the end of a day S1 works is still so far better, sadly, i still love every inch of her, it just Faleno is a big shit.

Aika back around 2016 had the perfect Gal body and her face was what pulled me to her. Her performances were just the icing on top. Saw her as the perfect Gal actress in comparison to knockouts like Moka, Rumika, and Mana Izumi. Then Aika had to get that surgery on her face in 2017 and it just ruined her for me. I tried to stick with her but her face which became her defining trait for me was lost with constant surgeries. Really disappointing.

I may be one of the few people in the "I don't think AIKA ever had *major* surgery" camp. It's possible she may have had light/outpatient work done, but actual 'under the knife general anesthesia' work I remain doubtful. She debuted in her early 20's and now is surely in her mid-30's. People change as they get older (except Tsubomi because of that weird portrait she has of herself in a closet somewhere).

I believe that below that neck she's all natural. She's open about having dentures, some minor work on her mouth this year (raising the corners of the mouth and later changing the lip to be more m-shaped), probably eyelids, possibly recontouring the face (changing fat distribution)?

Do you mean porcelain veneers?

drk 1 year ago
Yeah, porcelain veeners. First she had her natural teeth, then she straightened them (braces or invisalign I guess) then veneers (2017? 2018?)

I've never been all that high on her face personally. What first drew me to AIKA was more her Gal fashion look as a whole. What's made me stick around has been her fun performing and that figure which she has trained to mightily. Her butt looks especially great now. But like a lot of these actresses above; she's an older name who I have watched loads of. My interest has waned for newer names and faces. Still she and the other are pros and know how to deliver a good video. I still pop in a new AIKA video from time to time.

What about Kurea Hasumi?

I still like Kurea Hasumi. I just haven't watched much of her recently due to her retiring.

Such a polemical opinions

Personally, I think Asahi and Yumi are better than when they started. More curves and a MILF vibe.

For me exclusivity is the problem 90% of the time. Riho Fujimori:Her SOD exclusivity produced nothing good combined with the effects of the new AV law while she was a kikatan powerhouse, Mina Kitano:Does the worse versions of her kikatan movies, Akari Mitani:Still the performer but most of her latest releases are duds except the Nao Masaki lesbian one, works too much with samoari also, not too fond of his directing, Tsubaki Sannomiya:Attackers exclusivity basically causes bad variety+ i don't think she's good at S content enough anyway.

Julia can still do it...but just by doing MILF-themed videos. I thought these girls would go on to other industries by now, but I'm surrpised that half of them are still active. Especially Mako Oda

As a longtime Julia fan... man. :/ It's a difficult truth to face. I will be forever grateful of the classics she's put out, but age has been really catching up with her. It's like seeing an athlete playing way past their prime, but I respect Julia's hustle and I still wish for her continued success.

And I kinda feel you on Aika Yumeno, too. Still cute and bodacious, but she's made so many "B movies" that have lowered my excitement for her releases. I think you gotta dig deep to find a good scene with her.

Another Panking article with terrible takes, what a surprise.

These are pretty solid takes though I may not agree with them all. You're welcome to share your own if you can keep it civil.

What do you consider a bad take here? Please elaborate

So this is basically "people get older", gee, deep insight.

I mean that really only applies to a few actresses on this list but okay :)

Some controversial statements here....

As for Asahi Mizuno, I think that her comeback is over. AFAIK she's not shot anything in 2022 and is back to doing nails.
ZENRA 1 year ago

I wasn't aware she bowed out again! Talk about how much she has fallen from her peak.

drk 1 year ago
I don't think it was announced anywhere, she just did it. My guess is that she came back for late 2020/2021 when COVID made her main 'nail salon' business unviable and re-retired as soon as that picked up again (judging by her non-AV focused SNS).
