JAV Director’s Draft 2025 Part 2 – Who is the Fantia Girl Samoari Picked First?

Go here for part 1

#2 Ruisa Totsuki and #3 Riho Shishido

Nao worked with Ruisa the first time and had no notes to give her performance. She said Ruisa plays the Dom and Sub well, brings high energy, did a whole video in Kasai dialect very well, and swallows without hesitation. She got that No Hesi Swallow game. Next is Riho Shishido and Nao loves her big boobs and her Tanuki face, and I totally get what she means with that. Riho really studies her roles and acting, which Nao appreciates. They did a Lesbian video together and she was so considerate of the character’s emotions and even asked about the script. Seeing a BTS video of Alice Nanase not knowing the movie script and I can tell you not everyone is studious.

#4 Futaba Otani, #5 Ema Futaba, #6 Minami Kozue

Nao calls Futaba Otani crazy, but in a good way and if you’ve seen Nao in action, you know she knows crazy. She said Futaba has turned from the submissive M-type into a more dominant S-type with her re-debut. She’s “awakened” now and has become much better at dirty talk to boot. Next, Nao gives Ema Futaba her flowers with her fifth pick. And with her last pick, she goes with Minami Kozue. Nao has been effusive of Minami outside of the draft too, even comparing her to Yui Hatano and Aika Yamagishi. I’m a fan of Minami and she’s totally going under the radar.

Samoari said their video sold over 18,000 copies in a single month, which is great for either Amateur or professional JAV. She personally chose to work on a hardcore project with them instead of an easier mainstream debut. That showed dedication and love for AV, they say. Before release, she told the director, “Don’t worry. I’ll make it sell.” That’s confidence. I’m pretty sold on Rurutan if she made the jump to JAV. However, looking at her Fantia prices and I get sticker shock.

#2 Ichika Matsumoto

Once more, he picks Ichika Matsumoto and that should be no surprise; she’s been his favorite his whole career. He even feels beholden to her for helping build his career. Samoari shares that he is moving away from mainstream JAV production and will no longer work with FANZA productions, but makes exceptions for her. The rest of the panel says she’s highly charismatic and already a legend in the industry. Kochi even shares that she studies animal mating for performance inspiration. Weird share but okay. Samoari then brags about how she called him up while she was vacationing in Hawaii to ask what he wanted as a souvenir. I’m not jealous at all.

“I’d even go into the Red for her career.” -Samoari on Ichika

#4 Nozomi Arimura, #5 Yumemi Kanae, #6 Mahiro Tadai

His next pick is Nozomi Arimura and they all tout her eroticness, crazy stamina, and drive. He praises her high-performance level and calls her not a “good girl,” opposed to Hana. Nao shares a story on set about how the male staffers all fell for her during filming. She’s a charmer, Nao adds. His fifth pick is for Yumemi Kanae and that pick is totally on brand for Samoari. Yumemi is a very slutty type actress who loves taking control, is a bit of a femdom, and goes hard as heck in the bedroom. Meanwhile, his final pick is a bit of a surprise with Mahiro Tadai, as she really isn’t his type.

Closing

Going over the panel picks and you can see everyone’s thinking. Remi mostly picked actresses who were part of her studio, but also popular names and some hidden gems. Meanwhile, Koichi went with mostly popular names but also his personal favorites. Tanaka mainly picked lesser-known actresses and those that peaked his niche interests. Nao went with strong and aggressive women, just her preferred type. Finally, Samoari picked people he mainly worked with or wanted to work with.
