BREAKING: Meguri's FIRST JAV In 4 years, Ai Hongo QUITS Amid Infidelity Scandal & Minami Kojima To LEAVE S1?
Here's a rundown of some of the top stories that happened in September
Meguri Makes A Comeback After 4 Years - Yes We're Hyped!
Guess who’s back? Meguri-san! Recall how I broke the news first back in February when she hinted at a comeback while at the Taiwan Adult Expo. But at this point, it has more or less become common for her to come back, shoot a few JAVs, and disappear for a while in a few months but that's not denying the fact that her absence has been sorely felt.
As per sources, the plans for Meguri's comeback began to take shape at the end of 2023, and with Madonna being on a spree to retrieve former actresses from retirement, be it Yuna Shiina or Rena Fukiishi, it all feels like we’ve zapped back to ten years from now. Apparently, Madonna reached out to Meguri’s agency to express interest in her return. The idea resonated with both parties, and she was eager to make a comeback. More likely it was because of the kind of work that Madonna wanted to shoot.
Earlier, she expressed regret over not being able to entertain her fans all this while, "Sorry to have kept you all waiting This time, after four years, my work will be rereleased I hope that all my fans who have been supporting me for so long, and even those who haven't seen my work yet, will take a look. I look forward to your continued support"
However, there were some logistical hurdles to overcome. Being away from the industry had made her go out of shape so she needed time to prepare herself for the demands of filming JAV, ensuring that she was in peak physical and mental condition and if rumors are to be believed, she didn't enter the studio until April but all this while it was hush-hush until Madonna finally decided to drop the trailer.
With the anticipation finally reaching a fever pitch. The recently released trailer offers a glimpse into the classic Meguri.
So if you look at the promotional video, Meguri has a touching reunion with the actor, the shyness and anticipation of returning to film JAV again after four years, and of course the excitement and climax of having sex with the actor she had previously filmed with, she is all too familiar I guess. The JAV has an emotional reunion with her co-star, her palpable excitement and nervousness as she prepares to step back into the spotlight, and her passionate and uninhibited performance during the intimate scenes.
From the get-go, one can feel her boldness & enchanting presence on screen. The male actor may have a much higher stress tolerance level than us and will not be embarrassed, but it all seems like a piece of cake for her, as she has everything under control!
While fans can look forward to more exciting projects from her in the coming months, including a highly anticipated photo session that she recently wrapped up, there’s still a slight possibility that she may not last long even in this stint. I hope she proves me wrong!
Ai Hongo Decides To Quit Amid Infidelity Controversy
Let’s face it, the recent scandal involving Ai Hongo had rocked the industry to its core. There was a lot involved. While the controversy, centered around allegations of infidelity, it seems as if it’s Ai’s career in the industry that was at stake
For those living under the rock, I had published an exposé column earlier going into the nitty gritty of the incident. Since it was made public, the biggest question on fan’s minds is whether Ai will continue to work in adult films. Let me make you aware that before the scandal, she had hinted at the possibility of retirement, leaving fans uncertain about her intentions.
On September 19th, to not much surprise, Ai’s agency, Bstar, issued an official statement regarding the situation on X. After careful deliberation, they announced that she would be taking a temporary break from all JAV-related work. This includes canceling all scheduled events and pausing her activities on social media platforms.
Quoting her agency's statement, "Due to the hiatus from her activities, Ai will be withdrawing from the 'Modern Mahjong Swimsuit Festival Final' scheduled for September 23rd. We apologize for the short notice. We would like to apologize again to the fans who were looking forward to her appearance, as well as to all those involved."
While the decision to halt all events is a step in the right direction as I don’t think Japanese fans are very forgiving, in the midst of all this, the future of Ai’s career remains uncertain. There is a high chance that pre-recorded films might still be released, but for now, her public appearances have been put on hold.
いつも応援してくださっているファンの皆様、関係者の皆様、この度は大変なご迷惑をおかけしてしまいました事を深くお詫び申し上げます。

事務所との話し合いの結果、しばらくの間活動をお休みさせていただくことになりました。…
In an emotional statement, the distressed actress stated, "To all my fans who always support me and to all those involved, I would like to offer my deepest apologies for the inconvenience I have caused. After discussing this with my agency, I have decided to take a break from activities for a while. I deeply regret and apologize once again to everyone involved in this incident for the great inconvenience and concern I have caused. I am truly sorry."
As a longtime fan of Hongo, I have found it difficult to defend her in this situation. While the scandal undoubtedly involves Twitch streamer Junichi Kato who at first denied the allegations but later came to accept it after being grilled by a fan during a livestream, it's clear that Hongo bears responsibility for her actions to an extent.
Taking a break from public life is a wise decision, at least for now. It will spare her some time to address the situation privately with her agency and potentially repair her reputation. However, there is also a risk that she might face a shadow ban, similar to what happened to Sayaka Otoshiro and Rumina Yuki after their respective controversies.
It's a heartbreaking situation for true fans who like her presence but hopefully, she will be able to overcome this ordeal and continue her career. Only time will tell what the future holds for Ai Hongo. For now, we can only hope that she will emerge from this crisis stronger and more resilient than ever.
Meguri's Not The Only One Joining Madonna!
A Time S1 exclusive just announced her exit from the studio! Yes, we’re talking about Minami Kojima who has left fans shocked with this one move So what’s next for 31 year old actress? While she hasn't revealed her specific plans yet, a recent Instagram post has sparked speculation about her potential destination and there is a lot to uncover from a single post.
The photo I’m referring to was posted on Instagram by the actress and at first glance, looks seemingly innocent. It shows Kojima pointing a water gun at the camera. However, for those familiar with Madonna's iconic NTR series, the clues are undeniable. The outfit and background closely resemble a scene from the series, where the protagonist goes camping with her middle aged neighbors and things turn freaky, you know!

S1ラスト卒業作品です🎓 pic.twitter.com/H0K39GZAzF
Minami tweeted with a heavy heart, "My last work before graduating from S1. The first release as an S1 exclusive was on March 19, 2014. I am very grateful for continuing to create works as an S1 exclusive for 10 years. Thank you for supporting me at S1 and walking with me for 10 years. I will always be watching over you."
Madonna's NTR series has become a popular franchise of late, featuring numerous actresses like Yu Shinoda, Asahi Mizuno, Akari Tsumugi, Aoi Ichino, and most recently, Rio Asahi. The series' popularity has even inspired other studios to stir up similar content. So her destination post leaving S1 may not be 100% Madonna but there's a possibility.
While Kojima's debut might not be exclusively with Madonna, other studios like Dahlia or Tameike Goro could also be potential contenders. However, given her reputation and Madonna's recent efforts to recruit new talent, a Madonna debut seems highly likely for the former S1 hottie.
Oh, I forgot, this photo was just posted recently, so it is likely that the movie has just finished filming recently and will not be released until early next year at the earliest. This means we might have to wait until early next year for the official announcement of her debut film.
Before joining the NTR series, actresses often go through a series of preparatory roles, such as code-themed films, hot spring scenes with stepson, or secretary roles. These experiences help them acclimate to the genre and build their confidence. If so, Minami Kojima's debut movie will likely be announced soon next month. A few days ago, we were informed that Minami Kojima will graduate from S1 after the final JAV SONE-381 is released this October.
Based on these clues, it's safe to say that Minami’s future is looking bright. It’s only a matter of time until we find out which studio paid the moolah to rake her in.
Jun Kasui Is Back But That's Not A Good News For S1
I know you guys are certainly hyped about Meguri’s comeback but wait a second, how did you miss on this comeback? Jun Kasui is coming back to film porn! Yeah, this comes after she was away from the public eye for almost a year so this finally makes her comeback to JAV worthwhile.
Jun tweeted, "I will be appearing in an adult video. Look forward to the information being released"
While her friend Mio Ishikawa is still considering her future in JAV, June has made a definitive decision to continue filming JAVs. This is great news for fans of the beautiful and talented actress, known for her fair skin, soft muscles, and sensitive physique.
However, the question that intrigued her fans was; would she be returning to her former company, S1?
Let's face it, S1 has been facing challenges in recent months, with several actresses leaving the company due to various reasons. Look at how Minami is the latest to announce her departure, followed by others who have either left voluntarily or been let go due to poor sales performance.
Yuko's decision to leave S1 is likely influenced by these factors. The studio’s struggles and the departures of other actresses may have prompted her to seek new opportunities and that is likely why I don’t see her as a fit for S1 soon.

So, where does she head to after leaving S1? It's likely Honnaka as one could make from her recent social media post, featuring a swimsuit and a school uniform, hinting at a possible collaboration with other actresses.
Earlier, the actress was pictured alongside Yuki Koro, an exclusive actress at Moodyz sparking rumors that she might end up joining Moodyz!
While it was unclear if she will be working with Moodyz, another renowned studio Honchu famous for its creampie JAVs was also on the list, but I guess fans can now expect to see her churn out Honnaka JAVs, as is evident from her latest tweet.
Overall her comeback could be taken as a green flag. As she embarks on this new chapter, fans can look forward to seeing her grace the screens once again.
Rin Natsuki To Rename On The Release Of Her Much Awaited Photobook
Does the name Natsuki Rin ring a bell, well it might not be for long as the actress has revealed plans to change her name to Rin Ouka, yeah I get it, nothing surprising right… actresses resort to changing their names from time to time to stay significant right, so what’s the big deal with her? Happens so, that the name change comes alongside the release of her highly anticipated photo book, 'My Gift Big LOVE.'
She tweeted, "First of all, I'm Natsuki Rin, nicknamed Kirin-chan, and I'm very grateful to everyone who has supported me up until now! Thank you I've been allowed to release a photobook from G-Walk. I'm very grateful to all the staff for allowing me to appear in such a beautiful photobook, which was beautifully photographed!! As soon as this photobook is released, I will be changing my name to Ouka Rin."
In a statement put forth on her SNS, Rin, affectionately known as Kirin-chan by her fans, expressed her gratitude for the unwavering support she has received throughout her career. She attributed her decision to change her name to the desire to establish a more unique identity, as it clashed with a popular anime character I’m not much aware of. "I've been thinking about changing my name for quite some time. Natsuki Rin is a name that everyone loves and calls them by, but the reason for this is that there is a popular anime character with the same name, and I've always wanted to work as a more original version of myself."
She recalled in the statement how she always yearned to stay authentic and in an attempt to do so, she felt a stronger desire to change her attitude and make a fresh start. Some people said that changing a name that has stuck with her is not the same as changing agencies, "As I resumed my activities, I felt a stronger desire to change my attitude and make a fresh start. Some people said that changing a name that has stuck with me is not the same as changing agencies, so... Although the name change is sudden, I would be happy if you would continue to watch over me as the new me, Ouka Rin, along with the release of my photobook"

The name change certainly gives her a fresh start and a renewed sense of self. While some fans may be surprised by the sudden announcement, Rin hopes that they will continue to support her in her new avatar.
Through the photobook, titled 'My Gift Big LOVE', she desires to give back to her fans and the industry that has supported her. She sees it as a token of appreciation for the love and encouragement she has received throughout her journey. "And the title of the photobook is My Gift, Big LOVE. I chose it with the meaning that I want to give back to everyone who has supported me since my debut and everyone I've worked with through my work and achievements as an actress, as a gift from me."
As Rin embarks on this new phase of her career, she remains committed to engaging with her fans through social media, events, and her work as an actress. She expressed her love and gratitude for her agency, the company, and the staff who have played a vital role in her success. "I think I'm a very lucky actress. I want to continue to nurture love with you all through social media, events, and more. And I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who supports me! I love you, my agency, the company, and all the staff, and I'm always grateful for this book. And I hope you will continue to support me as a sexy actress!! Natsuki Rin, now Ouka Rin"
With her captivating beauty and undeniable talent, Rin is poised to continue scaling heights in the JAV industry. As she embraces this new chapter, fans can look forward to exciting projects and a continued connection with the beloved actress.
