When seeing S1’s major collaboration event, how did you feel?
I can only say that this company’s influence is impressive. They are perhaps the only production house in the industry that can mobilize 24 exclusive actresses simultaneously. What’s more, many others did not even make the lineup! But since several actresses didn’t participate, people are curious about the reasons. Let me share what I know:
Miyu Aizawa, Mirei Uno
Although Mirei Uno is nearing retirement, even if she hadn’t retired, she wouldn’t have participated in this collaboration. Why? Both she and Miyu Aizawa belong to the agency Alp (formerly AllGroup). Up to now, this agency has been barred from joining collaborations by eight other talent agencies. This shows that even production companies hesitate to intervene in agency disputes. It’s a shame, especially for Miyu Aizawa, who works hard yet missed out on such a big opportunity. It’s really not her fault…
Alice Hana, Hikaru Nagi, Mei Washio
These three are grouped together because they belong to the 8man agency. In terms of looks, popularity, and sales, they are on par with the top at S1. So why didn’t they participate in the grand collaboration? Some might think 8man is too arrogant to join, but after recent interactions, I don’t necessarily think that’s the case:
First, yes, 8man has a reputation for bad relations with others, stemming from poaching actresses from other agencies, making them unpopular. So, it’s possible that other agencies’ dissatisfaction led the production company to avoid involving their actresses. There are indeed such rumors in the industry. Additionally, many actresses at this agency are “lone wolves.” In previous discussions, they mentioned that certain actresses prefer not to collaborate because of social anxiety or scheduling issues. The idea of such a large collaboration might have deterred them.
It’s a pity that Tsubasa Mai left. If it weren’t for the agency-wide exclusion or a firm stance from the agency itself, she might have had a chance to participate. But she left and moved to Faleno Star. What a loss!
Konan Koyoi
I’ve mentioned this one before. After taking a break from filming and disappearing from her agency’s official roster, it was clear she was transitioning to being an influencer. So, her absence from the collaboration is understandable. As I said before, she’s no longer filming but is still open to event appearances. She’ll be at events in Hong Kong and DJing in Taiwan on December 17th. Interested fans, look her up!
Ruka Itoi, Karen Ishida, Mayu Shino, Shiori Iimoto
The reason these four actresses didn’t join is straightforward—they’re too new and missed the opportunity.
The most noteworthy among them is Mayu Shino, who debuted before Miyuu Kohinata’s name change. Theoretically, she could have joined, but the agency’s response was that it was “too late,” which I find reasonable.
So, these four should keep pushing forward. Hopefully, they’ll still be active for the 25th-anniversary event!
Aika Yumeno
Just having her back filming is good enough; expecting her to participate in a tough collaboration is too much.
That said, let’s go over her case: Although she returned to filming, Aika Yumeno’s lifestyle hasn’t changed much. She mainly works at Red Dragon, a high-end club, and only films when she has free time. The agency respects her wishes, so without her explicit agreement, she won’t film. When this project was planned, she had just returned and wasn’t fully ready. Given the time commitment required for the collaboration and the group scenes leading up to the final orgy, she chose not to participate.
It’s a bit of a pity that she didn’t join, but at least she’s back in the industry. I’m not asking for much—just regular releases in the future!
Unpai, Rei Kuroshima, Kokona Nakamori, Sayaka Nito, Nanohana Mizuno, Rare Maruishi
Pay attention to these names: they basically had no reason not to join. Missing this major event suggests they might have been let go. Unpai, for instance, attended Moodyz’s Grand Thanksgiving event and is no longer part of S1. Kokona Nakamori might have missed it due to a change in management, but given her few releases, seeing her perform under her new name, Aira Sato, at S1 would be a big success…
Another actress worth mentioning is Mizuno Nanoha (水乃菜乃華). Although she has only released five works so far, she should have been included in the lineup. Her squirting skills are top-notch, and seeing her perform alongside miru would have been fascinating. Unless there were unforeseen circumstances like health issues or a last-minute cancellation, her absence from the collaboration is concerning. The reason for this is her new status; typically, newer actresses strive for exposure and wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to elevate their profile alongside established stars. Not participating might indicate that, like Kosaka Nanaka, she only secured a contract for six releases, making S1 decide she wasn’t essential to include.
Tsukasa Aoi (葵つかさ)
The most significant name is Tsukasa Aoi. I’ll dedicate a separate article to her and post it tomorrow.
