BREAKING: Riko Hoshino's New JAVs May Take A Year To ARRIVE!

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

I think we finally have a pretty good idea of what’s next for this pixie-haired cutie.

Readers may remember that I shared a story not too long ago about Riko Hoshino leaving SODstar. At the time, she made it pretty clear that her JAV career wasn’t over.

In fact, quite the opposite.

In her graduation announcement, Riko said she still had plenty of JAVs she wanted to shoot. And because she wasn’t represented by an agency at the time, she even asked producers who wanted to work with her to reach out to her directly via private messages on social media.

That was an interesting situation in itself.

But now, less than a month later, things have changed for Riko, who has announced that she’s officially joined JAV talent agency LINX.

Riko wrote: “I am pleased to announce that I will be working with LINX. My interview with the company was completed today. From now on, please direct any inquiries regarding work related to AV filming to my agency.”

So, in simple terms, Riko now has a proper agency handling her JAV-related contracts.

But here’s the part that caught my attention: Riko is still accepting certain requests through her personal DMs, and I don’t think that’s by accident. Riko specifically mentioned that directing, other filming sessions, event appearances, illustration design, and similar work can still be discussed with her directly.

So it looks like LINX will be handling her regular JAV-related inquiries, while Riko herself will continue taking on some independent themed AVs. That’s a pretty smart arrangement, if you may ask.

It gives her the support of an agency without completely shutting down the independent work she seems interested in pursuing. Apparently, there are already more announcements coming.

Riko added: “Due to various circumstances, which will be announced later, I’ve been given this collar, so I think I can work hard on my AV job in peace. There will be many announcements this month, so please bear with me.”

So whatever those “various circumstances” are, it sounds like we haven’t heard the full story yet. There’s also one thing JAV fans will have to keep in mind. Her new releases won’t be arriving immediately. Because of her existing contractual obligations with SODstar, the remaining SODstar JAVs will be released first, with her new work expected to come out sometime around May next year; Riko has already teased what could be coming next.

She wrote in reply to a comment: “We’ll release the remaining few SODstar titles first, so please look forward to it! We don’t currently have any ‘bad girl’ themed works, so we’ll be asking a new label to handle that lol.”

Riko isn’t going anywhere. Considering she has already said there are plenty of JAVs she still wants to shoot, I don’t think we’ll be running out of Riko Hoshino news anytime soon!
