First appearing under SOD’s Office Lady brand, an offshoot from mainline SOD where they focus on a few office ladies appear in a few JAV for shits and giggles (side note: it’s actually hard to explain what’s going on there but it just goes to show just how ingrained JAV is in Japanese culture. This topic deserves its own article for a deeper look.). Whereas most girls who appear in this video choose to fizzle out after a few, SOD seems to have recognized that they hit a diamond in the rough in Emi Asano. She appeared in a few more… even in outside collabs like the AVOP label. The demand rose, and eventually, Emi debuted as a star in her own right! From here on, she shone bright on a storied career as a multiple exclusive actress. Although she only appeared in a handful of movies, Emi Asano was a very memorable star for me, even though she seems to have disappeared from public memory.
Well, let’s talk about her! Here’s why Emi Asano remains a JAV obsession for me even after all these years.
Strengths
Emi Asano is actually pretty cute. She’s not a head turner by any means but she’s got these memorable big eyes and lovely lips. The problem is, compared to the absolute goddesses in JAV, she is obviously a class below. But I find her face consistently punching up actually, because there are times when she’s made up well and dressed to seduce that she does look amazing.
Body wise, she’s got a slightly chubby frame. Some baby fat along her tummy and bum, but this gives her some really wholesome tits. By all accounts, again a class below compared to the JAV super star, but again looking really really good every now and then. Especially in action. Just goes to show how much performance matters over looks.
All natural beauty, no plastic. Girl next door is an oft-used phrase even for the most beautiful girls in the biz, but for Emi it fits to a tee, because she does look like your neighbor or officemate.
Performance wise is just. Wow. Rank S for Semen Demon. Emi is such a generous and enthusiastic lover. She’s a GOAT contender for me, in terms of sexual performance. She is so fucking hot when she’s getting railed by a particularly virile co-star. She’s more of a submissive than dominant, but she’s so receptive and open to anything they throw at her. Her body is so sensitive to any sexual stimulation. She gets into some intense, crazy, definitely out there sexual situations, and still she looks amazing with her face curled up in the ecstasy of sex. She loves cum and she loves to cum, all the while taking it with a smile.
Emi’s career is quite a rollercoaster, a short, sweet and spicy little ride for a couple of years.. I don’t think she knew that she would blow up like she did, so I think she just went along with the flow and experienced every sexual experience she was game to do. Eventually she decided that she’s experienced enough, and simply put a nice bow on top for the end of her career.
Let’s go through Emi’s career with a selection of her movies.

SOD Advertising Department Worker Emi Asano Celebrating Her Work Anniversary By Doing Her AV Debut! 50 Penetrations 20 Creampies AV Debut Highlights
Starring: Emi Asano
This is not her debut video, but a compilation of the highlights in her short stint in the SOD Office Lady series. Let me tell you though, this series is no joke. These Office Ladys are bona fide JAV starlets, chosen for their sort of plain but cute looks and they are subjected to the JAV experience with some pretty wild sexual situations waiting for them. Emi was scouted for her cute shy looks but then they discovered just how sexually expressive she is.
Best Moment: So many good moments in her OL career, but I have to give it to her getting boned in the SOD office while everyone else was still working.
STAR-535
Double Orgasms! Double Cumming! Double Squirting Heaven!:
Starring Iori Kogawa And Emi Asano
Emi still hasn’t graduated from the SOD Office Lady series. Already a hit in the series, this is one of those moments where she started appearing in movies while she’s still wearing the SOD Office Lady and ID. And this collaboration with the iconic Iori Kogawa was a sign that she was being slingshot into fame at this point in her career. There are actually two of these movies with Iori, the other being STAR-538. Even though Iori is clearly the more skilled and beautiful, Emi was an excellent scene partner for her that even Iori upped her game.
Best Moment: So many to choose from, especially the girl on girl moments between Iori and Emi.

SOD Female Employee: After Three Years In Our Advertising Department, Emi Asano Is Ready To Retire. Please Forgive Me. My Last Work Will Be As A Super High Class Soapland Therapist, Then I'll Try My Very First Creampie. Please Watch My Final Performance.
Starring Emi Asano
Just as she was about to be catapulted into fame, here Emi was already announcing her retirement. For this movie, she wishes to end her career with a nice little creampie. Of course we know that she eventually continues for a few more years, but this is an insight into her actual mindset as someone who stumbled into JAV fame.
Best Moment: Her getting the final creampie, thinking that she was saying goodbye to the industry already.

Electrifying Career Change! FIRST IDEAPOCKET
Starring Emi Asano
And then boom, on her way out, Idea Pocket manages to sweet talk her into a career change. And boy, does the production value skyrocket. From the mundane handcam shoots in her earlier branding, now real JAV productions with top of the line male talents waiting in line to get to fuck her. Emi plays it like a doll, she knows she lucked into all of this but she gave every shoot her best. I also think that she went into a diet and started working out at around this part of her career, because it seemed like she was a bit more toned than in her earlier videos. I’m sure a part of her just really enjoyed the sex she’s been getting since getting all this attention from the industry, and it shows.
Best Moment: Emi being surprised that her first interview as JAV star immediately leads to a steamy sex scene with Shimiken.

100 Guys to the Finish
Starring Emi Asano
Throughout Emi’s short stint as a JAV star, every movie is actually a banger. Emi was consistently performing in an excellent manner, and you can tell that there is so much joy emanating from her being sexually satisfied in every scene. But this movie is the epitome of her career, a real climax point if you will. Emi gets passed around, gets cum all over her, and she plays like she’s an insatiable little slut. How far has she come, and how far she could have gone if she wanted to.
Best Moment: Emi entering a room with 100 naked men in their underwear, then smiling as she realizes that she’s gonna have to fuck all of them one way or another.

Smiling Back At You - Emi Asano 's Complete Retirement Collection - Emi Returns To Life As A Regular Woman.
Starring Emi Asano
And finally, we have Emi’s Retirement movie. A bittersweet moment for all JAV stars, but especially for fans like myself whose heart has been captured. A nostalgic look into her career, with a few really nice scenes that are toned down compared to the wilder stuff she went through her career. After her final sex scene with Shimiken, she was teary eyed as she received a bouquet of flowers for her final send off back to her life as a regular gal again.
Best Moment: One final surprise for Emi, after receiving her retirement bouquet, Genjin Moribayashi appears to give hear a surprise sex fucking that she thoroughly enjoyed. Even Genjin wasn’t ready for her to go.
Conclusion
The SOD Office Lady is a staple in JAV for its weird sexualization of the mundane worklife of Japan. With varying success actually, as this little off shoot brand has slingshot a few of their Office Ladies into stardom. Emi Asano was a trailblazer in this regard as she ramped up in popularity as social media quickly got its grips into contemporary society. She paved the way for other of the SOD Office Ladies who later upgraded into SOD Exclusive stars like Masami Ichikawa and the most recent one, Haru Shibasaki. But I will always remember Emi fondly, as I do believe she is a very rare, very unlikely talent to have found her way into the depraved but wonderful world of JAV. I come back to her videos every now and then whenever I’m feeling nostalgic, and I’ll always have STAR-553 as one of my most watched videos. And it looks like she's doing well for herself in her life outside of JAV. She's a blogger based in Thailand right now. Here's her Instagram account post retirement. She looks amazing these days but I still like her porn version with the baby fats hehe.
BTW, she's got a few movies available right here at ZENRA! She's mostly in a cameo / hosting role (though she does partake a bit hehe), a good fit for her bubbly personality!
As usual, That’s all from me for now. Thanks for reading. See you in my next article! - Vez
