BREAKING: Alice Nanase MAJOR Retirement Announcement, Ayaka Tomoda's SECRET Married Life

Catch up on the most trending gossip that we had our eyes on in June

Ever since Alice Nanase announced her indefinite hiatus from JAV earlier this year, there’s been one question following her everywhere she goes: “Are you retiring?

At this point, I honestly think it’s quite frustrating for Alice to answer the same question a dozen or so times. And yet somehow, the rumors refuse to go away.

According to Alice, overseas fans continue to message her on social media, asking whether she's quietly preparing to leave the industry for good. No matter how many times she denies it, the same question keeps lingering.

So recently, she decided to address it again, only this time, her answer couldn't have been much clearer.

Alice Nanase is not retiring, dear readers! In fact, what surprised me most wasn't the denial itself. It was what came next. Alice revealed that new works are already in the pipeline, planned for next year.

Now, before everyone gets too excited, she didn't get into the nitty-gritty of what those future JAVs will look like. Could be exclusive tier JAVs or independent productions. Nobody really knows!

But honestly, I don't think that's the important part.

For fans of the actress who had been mentally preparing for her retirement announcement, simply hearing that Alice expects to release new work in 2027 is probably more than enough.

After all, there's a huge difference between taking a break and disappearing forever. And Alice seems determined to ensure her fans understand that distinction.

What's even more interesting is that her relationship with Moodyz isn't ending anytime soon. According to her, activities connected to the studio will continue through late October.

Which means that while she's stepping away from filming JAVs momentarily, she's hardly walking away from the industry altogether.

But that wasn't the only thing that caught my attention. Recently, Alice also addressed growing questions surrounding her OnlyFans account.

Apparently, some Japanese fans noticed they couldn't access the platform and immediately started wondering what was happening. Alice eventually responded. “All videos and photos have mosaics,” she explained. “But there are adult circumstances on the Japanese side that require me to set it that way.”

That explanation somehow created more questions than it answered.

What exactly are these “adult circumstances,” and why are Japanese users unable to access content that is already censored? And perhaps most importantly, why did Alice specifically say she would explain everything later on YouTube instead of simply clarifying it immediately?

That last part is what caught my eye.

Because whenever someone promises a future explanation, it usually means the full story is more complicated than what can fit inside a tweet.

For now, though, the biggest takeaway remains unchanged. Alice Nanase is not retiring.

Not despite the hiatus. Not despite the rumors. And certainly not despite the endless stream of concerned messages from fans trying to figure out what's next.

If anything, she almost sounds amused that people keep trying to write the ending before she's finished the story herself.

So yes, the cameras may be off for now. But from the way Alice is talking, it sounds like she's already looking ahead to the next chapter. And honestly? That chapter might arrive much sooner than people expected.

Did Ayaka Tomoda secretly get married? Does she have a kid?

And where exactly did these rumors even emerge from? Honestly, when I first saw her tweet making rounds online, I was just as confused as everyone else.

Which is probably why Ayaka Tomoda eventually felt the need to step in & address the situation herself. Recently, Ayaka took to her account to address several rumors circulating among fans, and her message was surprisingly candid.

She stated that she has never been married, and let us not even talk about a kid. As of now, she does not even have a boyfriend.

To be honest, it's not every day you see a JAV actress making a statement like that publicly. Usually, when someone goes out of their way to deny something, there's a reason behind it.

So what really led to this? The answer seems to trace back to an earlier tweet that had a lot of fans scratching their heads.

In that tweet, Ayaka appeared to mention having a kid who was already in college. She even talked about going to a hot spring together. When I first read that, I genuinely paused for a second. Why on earth would she hide that? Ayaka Tomoda has a college-aged kid?

That didn't sound right at all.

And apparently, I wasn't the only one who reacted that way. Even fans had a hard time processing, and they immediately began speculating. Some assumed she had been secretly married. Others wondered whether she had been hiding a private life all these years.

The rumors spread like wildfire. But after looking at her tweet with careful eyes, the rumors seem much less dramatic.

It appears that the post may have been referencing promotional material for her JAV or a fictional setting linked to one of her JAVs. The problem was that the context wasn't clearly explained. And that's where the misunderstanding began.

Because let's be honest.

If someone suddenly posts about having a grown-up in college without explaining that it's related to a role she’s portraying or production, most fans are naturally going to take it at face value.

So while some fans may have overreacted, I don't think you can completely blame them either.

The original wording of her tweet left plenty of room for confusion. Fortunately, Ayaka has now cleared things up herself. And honestly, that's probably where this story ends. At times, rumors are ignited because a single sentence gets interpreted differently than it was intended. And in Ayaka Tomoda's case, that appears to be exactly what happened.
