An Introduction to JAV Retirement Movies

A Farewell to JAV
JAV stars don’t have much of a shelf life. One could consider it a bit of a faustian bargain, selling your youth for the promises of fame and fortune. Such is the nature of the beast. One of the major downsides you’ll have to accept if you wanna get into the industry is the stigma that comes with sex work, especially with sex work as public as JAV. But it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom, there’s plenty of love to go around. And well, you can see all that in these retirement videos. I see these videos as a celebration of the accomplishments as well as the sacrifice that our beloved JAV stars gave through their careers, ending it all with a nice bouquet and usually some bittersweet tears of joy. It’s a sneak peek into the human element of JAV, and I think it’s really endearing to cap their careers with highly personalized movies like these.
Retirement videos are a genre upon themselves. There is so much creativity going on with the production of a retirement video depending on the actress and how popular she is. The very popular actresses have some of the most unique, wild and endearing farewells. Because of how insular the lives of Japanese people are, these highly private and personal peeks behind the curtain of the industry are events upon themselves. Especially since, these are beautiful women saying goodbye to an industry and a fanbase that gave them a lot.
Here are a few of my personal favorite Retirement JAVs.
SSIS-834
Completely Retired AV Actress, Last Day. Yua Mikami Last Sex
Starring Yua Mikami
A once in a generation star, the hottest star of her time. Yua Mikami’s retirement is a banger. For JAV actresses of her star level, the industry actually prepares a sort of mini-series of different styles of movies as a countdown for her final retirement movie. For Yua, she released some of her best work when she was on her way out. (Let me remind you of her intense collab video with Minami Aizawa and Arina Arata, SSIS-698). So for her final one, it’s actually pretty tame. Yua chose to end her career in a classy way to say goodbye. With a simple retirement video for a one of a kind star.
Best Part: Yua’s final POV BJ scene where she’s talking with her fans directly for the last time.
WANZ-769
Ichika Kamihata , Congratulations On Your Wedding, And We're Sorry To See You Retire
Starring Ichika Kamihata Yui Hatano Yu Shinoda Hana Kano Erika Kitagawa Mao Hamasaki Sora Shiina An Sasakura Nonoka Izumi
From a vanilla retirement, to this crazy one. Ichika Kamihata debuted in 2012 and had a wild 6 year career appearing in hundreds of AV videos. With an output like that, she became a staple in the scene and made many friends in the industry. Which is why her retirement video has an incredible line up of cameos like Hatano Yui, Mao Hamasaki and Yuu Shinoda to name a few. Her sudden retirement comes from the fact that she’s getting married after her life in JAV, getting a happy ending of her own.
Best Part: The final scene where she’s getting railed wearing a wedding veil, with all her JAV star friends congratulation and cheering her on real life wedding. That’s wild.
RED-001
10 Years Since Debut AV Actress Retirement. Miracle Work.
Starring Mikako Abe
After a long career of many strong and iconic films, the semen demon Mikako Abe was ready to hang up the whoring gloves. She was putting out some weak movies, and some were afraid that she would simply fizzle out of the industry. But then, after a pretty good crowd funding push, Mikako self produced her own retirement video. Backed by her own fans, she ends her career with a literal explosion, with multiple banger scenes and a heartfelt love goodbye to all her friends and fans that supported her along the way.
Best Moment: The first scene with Goro. Mikako seems to really like Goro, and the chemistry is palpable. Goro was her first partner in her very first scene 10 years ago, so her inviting him again for her final film ties it all up in a nice full circle moment.
JUFD-948
Kaho Shibuya Final Video All Holes Filled Creampie Cum Swallowing Fan Thanksgiving Day 170 Minute Special!
Starring Kaho Shibuya
The iconic busty petite, Kaho Shibuya goes all out in her final movie. Leaving no hole unfilled, she showcases just how big of a whore she is. With her career output and fan following as massive as her jugs, she wanted to put up a show of her greatest hits in her final video. Starting with her signature slow steamy tit fuck and culminating in a grand bukkake gangbang, Kaho sure showed us what she’s capable of. But with her raw sexuality and unfiltered horniness, Kaho took it all with a smile. Surely everyone will be missing her cute face and big titties.
Best Part: Her Chun Li cosplay is absurd, hilarious and very sexy.
MIDV-104
Active Adult Video Actress!! Hiding Her Embarrassment With Her Cuteness, She Is A Fluffy 26-Year-Old. This Is Her Last Work Before Retires!!
Starring Minami Hatsukawa
Minami Hatsukawa’s sunny vibe, great smile and classy sensuality is captured for one last time in her retirement video. The twist here is it’s a call back to her debut video, right down to the cover photo, with new additions and updates. It’s great seeing her bloom into a more mature version of herself throughout her career but still somehow remain the same, and her retirement video highlights all of that as she ends her career with laughing in the shower after sex.
Best Part: Minami wearing the pink lingerie in her last scene. All of a sudden, she transforms from all the cutesy innocence in the first scenes, to an incredibly sensual version of herself for her final fuck in JAV.
STARS-731 and STARS-742
Iori Kogawa Retirement/Part 1: The Most Intense Sex Of Her Life, Which She Finally Reached After 10 Years As An Actress Since She Moved To Tokyo.
Iori Kogawa Retirement / Part 2: Touring Her Hometown And Thinking About The Future... The Last Bare Face Sex She Shows As A Woman
Starring Iori Kogawa
The glamorous slut, Iori Kogawa’s retirement video comes in two parts. Part 1 is set in Tokyo where she made the most of her life in the JAV industry as one of the most recognizable faces of her generation of JAV stars. Featuring cameos from the industry and with many insights on her career, she celebrates it with some hardcore sex that she's been known for. Part 2 is set in her hometown, where it’s a much more chill movie where she hangs with her friends outside the industry, as well as have a heart to heart talk with Mana Sakura.
Best Part: For the first movie, that final scene with Taku Yoshimura is a strong throwback to her hardcore slutty side. In the second movie, I really liked her final scene with Daisuke Sadamatsu where she was feeling emotional about her final AV scene.
ABP-977
Sakino Oto Her Retirement Special S&M, Lesbian Lust, And An 11-Way Large Orgies Fuck Fest... The Most Extreme Retirement Video Ever!!
Starring Oto Sakino
For her final JAV movie, Oto puts her retirement career in overdrive to make up from potentialy lost time for her early retirement. By the tail end of her career, Oto actually has been pushing it in terms of the nasty stuff she’s willing to do on camera. But it seems like she felt that she wanted off Mr Bone’s Wild Ride, so she wanted to cram as much of the hardcore stuff that’s she wants in a short period of time. With hardcore shibari, her first lesbian scene, and then ultimately capping it off with a massive gangbang. What a way to go.
Best Part: Her first and final lesbian scene with the amazing Rena Aoi. Oto was shy, Rena was dominant. It was great.
IPZ-667
Thank You Aino Kishi Retirement Special
Starring Aino Kishi
The most bittersweet retirement video for me, as it features my personal all time favorite, Aino Kishi. Featuring a light hearted interview / countdown format where she counts down her greatest hits and her most fan favorited sexual actions, Aino said farewell in the most endearing way that fits her personality. As a long time big fan of hers, every scene hits differently and even the interviews between them are worth peeking into just to pick up on her wholesome good natured vibe.
Best Part: That lucky guy in the first scene getting a “secret” blowjob from Aino. Making dreams cum true.
HNDS-039
100 People x Creampies 2015 Complete Version
Starrin Ai Uehara Mao Hamasaki Aya Miyazaki Ai Uehara Sayaka Kamiki Chisato Shoda Maki Hojo AIKA Ruka Kanae
The wildest one for last, and an absolutely nutty one for that. Ai Uehara was the biggest star of her generation and a strong contender for the coveted title of JAV GOAT. Ai rose from a time when the internet was in it’s teenage years and she absolutely encapsuated what made porn rise along with the internet. For an actress as popular and as beloved as Ai, Honnaka sure went all out with her retirement video with a 12 hour movie(when compiled). A massive production spanning many videos, Ai’s final farewell comes in the form of a tag / hide and seek game where a 100 lucky dudes can try to look for a hiding and running Ai.. and whoever catches her gets to cum in her pussy. Also featuring a star studded cast of JAV stars like AIKA, Abe Mikako, Mao Hamasaki to name a few who are there to play interference…by catching guys and then having sex with them. A surreal end for a surreal star.
Best Moment: That lucky first guy who finds Ai. The other guys are lucky as well, but not as lucky as this guy.
As usual, That’s all from me, Vez. See you in my next article!
