Japanese actress

Aika Miura

2007-07-30T21:35:00.000-07:00

Miura Aika debuted back in 1995. Out of all the actresses who have debuted in that year, she is the only one who is still very active in the scene. In an industry where you are called a 'Veteran' a year after you've started working, 9 years is almost unthinkable. While she did retire for about 8 months in the past, she has released approximately one tape every month for this entire time. In an age where the careers of AVs are getting shorter and shorter, what could possibly be driving her on?

It's been 6 years since I've started this line work. Now that I think about it, I was still in my teens when I first started...I was so young back then! As for why I've continued to do this until now...I really don't know! Hahahahaha. I never really thought about it so it was more like those 6 years have passed me by when I realized it.
I guess the thing that changed the most over these years was my face. I look so old now. I want to be young again! I think I looked the cutest three years ago.
As for sex, I'm pretty much the same as I was before I started working, but I guess the one thing that did change was how I look at men.
I used to look at the face of a person first before but now I always look at his dick right afterwards (laughs). I can now tell how big someone's dick is by looking at their pants, and I'm almost never wrong. I'm pretty confident on guessing someone's dick size! Hahaha.
As for what happened, I think the main reason was that I started riding the train a lot more now that I entered this line of work. I mean, the only thing you can see when you sit down is their dick, right? I didn't ride the train back when I was high school so that's probably why.
And I really love dick---all the women do! I've never hated it in my entire life. See...it gets real big, and then it get's really stiff and it twitches! I like it better when I touch it to make it big and hard instead of seeing it like that right away!!
See, I really like touching the dick myself to make it ready for sex. I guess you can say that I like "Dick playing" ! Hehe.
Yep, so a dick is the most important thing I look for in a guy. Well, the face before then, of course. I try to imagine how it'd look like to have someone on top of me pumping away at me, and if I don't like it, he's out! I skip anyone who I don't think would look good on top of me, kyahahahahaa!
And then for someone who I think would look good on me...I then try to imagine how his dick looks like! I'd be like "I wonder how his dick looks like?" and then I'd imagine exactly how it'd enter me and the expression on his face when he's entering me. I like someone who stays cool when fucking me. So anyone who says "That feels so good, babe!" is out. I like someone who stays quiet while doing it.
As for which position, I like missionary. I like being on the bottom. It's nice to see the face of the person fucking me while he's doing it.
My parents are still angry about what I do for a living. Very much so. Especially my mother. She's still always calling me to "Quit, please quit." That's pretty much it...well, I do understand where they're coming from but still...
I guess it can't be helped. I mean, we still live together. I don't really take it in a bad way though. My dad knows but he doesn't really say anything about it.

As for my brother, he's pretty much the same. My dad was lecturing me a little while ago about how "I shouldn't be making money while having fun!", but I'm not really having a lot of fun here. I mean, I'm sometimes tied up and struck with whips so I want to say "It's not as fun as you think!" (laughs).
But my family's still pretty close. I often go fishing or golfing with my dad, and we even went to Pachislo a little while ago!
I guess I do cause them to worry about me but I really like how my current job allows me to live happily with my family.
To tell you the truth, I like guys who're like my brother. But my brother's married already! When my brother got married I was like "Why is she taking my brother away from me?" I really did.
I kept my cool and tried to be friendly with his bride but she'd get jealous whenever she sees me and my brother together. So I guess we're not that friendly after all?
I was pretty open about sex ever since I was young. I'd tell my friends "I masterbated yesterday." and stuff like that, hahahahaha.
I mean, there's no point in hiding it, is there? Everyone likes to have sex anyway.
There's a lot of girls who try to hold back when they're having sex with men, aren't there? I always wonder about that. I think it's better that they come. Instead of using some technique so that they can hold it back, I think it's better that they come now and try for another round. I mean, if your pussy wants to come, you should just let it, ahaha.
I always come very quickly the first time around, so it takes longer for me to come again the second time. I think there's only a few men out there who'd really understand that though.
Well I always liked sex ever since I was young but I didn't like it when it took too long. I like the "wham-bam thank you ma'am" style. I like to do more sensual things after I've come once.
My ideal sexual experience would be to have someone making me come by touching my clit first, then enter my pussy and makes me come again after another 10-15 minutes. No blow job. I like getting fucked more. And as for the touching of my clit, I like it when it's done with the middle finger.

I broke up recently so I'm looking for a boyfriend right now!
I don't want someone who's too smart for a boyfriend. Truthfully, I like men who're smart but then I'm worried about them cheating on me. I guess the main thing I'm looking for is someone who suits my style of sex?
Even if someone looks really good, there's no use if he's no good at sex. If our bodies don't seem to match when we do it the first time, I usually break up not long afterwards. Well, I usually keep doing things until he starts hating me and asks for me break up with him! Hahaha!
But---although sex is very important to me, I don't have sex right away when I start dating. Maybe after 5-10 dates. I usually think "Maybe it's about time?" around the 3rd date and I start caressing his cock but then I'm like "Uh, not yet!", hahaha.
That and we do some caressing before we get to the stage of having sex. Nothing really erotic, but I sometimes pretend to be drunk and I'd 'accidentally' rest my hand on his dick or something. Then if I think "His is too small" then we don't have sex and I break up with him, hahahahahaha!
I don't really want to get married yet. I still want to play around a bit. Though I don't really know what I want to do, hahaha. I recently got into acting younger than I really am! I'd be like "I'm 20!" and fool everyone and seduce them all. It's a lot of fun! It's a lot of fun to play with younger guys. They have so much energy and can go on all night---kyaaaaaa!!
What I mean by play is like karaoke and going drinking together. And when we do, they make a move! But I'm good at running away so I'd say "I'm sorry, but it's my time of the month", hahah! That's the easiest way to do it. Or I'd be like "I can't do it with anyone I'm not going out with!" or "Not when on our first date!"
When someone tries to pick me up, we'd go drinking sometimes and when we do, we act a little silly sometimes don't we? And then if they're young they'd be like "Hey, my cock got hard!" and I'm like "Really? Where?" and feel him up! "But they're all so small that I sometimes cry out "No way! You're not hard!" That's when I'm like "Well, today's a failure. Let's head back home." Hehe, I'm such a bad girl.
But I'm now 25, so you can forgive me, right? Hehehe, when a girl gets to be 25, they want to be playing with younger guys. Then they'll think to themselves "Maybe I'm not so old after all?" so you have to do it while you still have time. As for the future, well, I do want a child sometime so I want to play until then.
I haven't seen any big cocks lately so I want to have at least 1 cock that's at least 18cm (approx 7 inches) before I have a child, ahahaha!

"I debuted thinking how much I didn't want to do this!"I've already made fifteen tapes since I've been scouted. I still remember my debut video though. I don't think I moved at all now that I think about it. I was seriously thinking about running out of the place at the time. It wasn't because I was nervous. I really hated it at the time. I think I also cried during then. I remember that much. So it is the video that I have the most memories with, but at the same time it's the worst one I've been in. It's definitely not something I could recommend to my fans. Nowadays I'm split 50/50 with my thoughts of hating this work and enjoying it. I start to enjoy it once the shooting actually starts.
"I was on the tennis team for both junior high and high school. I love cute guys!"I was on the tennis team for junior high and high school. We didn't take things too seriously though. I was interested in men back then too. I still love cute guys, just like back then. I finally got a boyfriend when I turned fourteen. He was really popular and I liked him a lot. And given that he was the one that confessed to me... I was all over him. But everyone around us were became so cold around us that we couldn't do anything. We didn't date... we didn't even walk home together. Relationships naturally dissolve in that situation. The next thing I knew he found someone else and we broke up. I still think about him every once in a while. If I was more truthful to myself and acted, I think I wouldn't feel angry at myself.

"I wasn't pressured but I did have sex."
I did it for the first time when I was fifteen. I think I was a freshman in high school at the time. There were girls sleeping around back then, but I didn't feel pressured. I guess it was just the timing. It was someone that I did like and it's not like I regret it. He was the same age as me but I think he had lost his virginity already back then. I didn't go out with him that long though. At most three months. I didn't even feel down when we did break up. Maybe I didn't like him that much after all?
"I like sex, but I can't get used to the shoots!"
I think I like sex. I'm not seeing anyone right now, but I think I wouldn't mind having a sex friend. But I still can't get used to shooting in front of a camera though. There are some that enjoy it or get turned on by it, but I still get nervous even after fifteen tapes. There are times when I ponder about running out.

Aoi Minori comments on her own body
Ears: They tell me I have lucky ears. Then I wonder why I'm not rich?Nose: Is it big? I think it's just the right size.Face: I have a clean face. I hate the way my cheeks puff out though. I think I'd look more mature if that went down.Arms: A lot of hair grows by my arms. I think this is short enough though.Back: I think it looks pretty. Though everyone tells me that it looks like the back of a cat.Ass: I think it's good that it's filling out. I'll get it full!Hair: I often keep it up. I sorta want to make it completely blond too.Eyes: I'm always worried about my eyesight. I need contacts whenever we shoot.Mouth: I wish it was smoother.Breasts: I think they're fine. I don't think I have a complex with large breasts.Navel: I think it's cute. I don't think about it much though.Pubic Area: I barely touched it. So there's quite a lot of hair there... what do you think of it?Legs: They swell up very easily. Maybe it's because I take so long whenever I go shopping.

Sora Aoi

2007-07-07T23:23:00.000-07:00

Sora Aoi (蒼井そら, Aoi Sora?) (also known as Sola Aoi) is a Japanese AV idol, nude model, and media personality.

Birthdate:November 11, 1983 (1983-11-11) (age 23
Birth location:Tokyo, Japan
Measurements:90(G Cup)-58-83(cm)35-23-33(inch)
Height:1.55 m (5 ft 1 in)
Eye colour:Brown
Hair colour:Brown
Blood Group:B
Alias(es):Sola Aoi

Early life
Sora Aoi was born November 11, 1983 in Tokyo. As a student she worked at various part-time jobs in the food-service industry, such as pizza parlours, pubs and sushi bars. While in her third year in high school, Aoi was scouted in Shibuya by a talent agency for gravure modellingWhen asked how her stage name was chosen, Aoi explained, "My agency asked what color I liked. I said blue ("ao" in Japanese). He also asked what I like in general. I said sky ("Sora" in Japanese). So, he chose Sora Aoi (means "Blue Sky" in Japanese)."
Aoi made her debut as a nude model in November 2001. Her "big eyes[,] cute smile, "young girl's face and... large breasts" quickly made her a popular magazine model. Her bust was at first reported as a metric F-cup, but had become a G-cup within a year of her acting debut.
Prior to signing with the Kuki AV company (which includes the Samantha, and Alice Japan labels), Sora made two adult movies, Summer Break and Twinkle Twinkle. They supposedly aired on a subscription porn TV service, although details have not been confirmed yet

AV debut
Aoi made her official AV debut the next year, at the age of 18, in the Alice Japan production, Happy Go Lucky. Released in July, 2002, the film focused on Sora's youth and "new face" status, with her acting as an urabon, and a schoolgirl who is kidnapped and raped by her teacher.
Critics have often pointed out the documentary format employed in many Japanese adult videos, Aoi's second AV, her first for the Samantha AV company, follows this format, pursuing the common theme of the actress' sexual initiation taking place on tape. By witnessing the actress' sexual awakening as it is occurring, the on-screen sexual activity is given added meaning to the video audience. This video, The Blue Sky: Sora Aoi, makes use of the sexual awakening theme by purportedly showing Aoi using a sex toy for the first time in her life. Another of Aoi's videos in the documentary format is the August 2003 entry in the Bubbly Heaven series. This video series has popular AV actresses learning soapland techniques from professionals, and then demonstrating their new skills for the video audience.
Though the mock-documentary format is popular in Japanese adult videos, purely fictional films in various genres also remain popular. 50/50 (December 2002) tells the story of a woman who works at a restaurant and a cabaret club in order to earn rent money for the apartment in which she and her boyfriend live. In February 2003's Wet and Tender, Aoi plays the role of a prostitute pursued by both her boyfriend and a stalker until she is rescued by one of her regular customers, whom she then rewards with free sex. The April 2003 release, Sexy Fruit, had Aoi as an aspiring celebrity who gives sexual favors for singing and acting lessons. Little Sister's Secret of May 2003 made use of a story in the incest genre. Sexy Butt of the following month had Aoi in love with a TV stuntman.
In contrast to these urban-drama stories, some of Aoi's videos are in a more adventurous porno-science-fiction genre. Her October 2002 release for Alice Japan, Cosmic Girl, has her playing a super-heroine battling, and having sex with, aliens from the Vibe-star. Her July 2003 video, Splash, has Aoi living in the near future, at which time humanity is enslaved by the "Ocean Species." Inter-species sexual encounters

Biography
Uchiyama Rina was first discovered in her hometown in Kanagawa prefecture by her current talent agency Sweet Power at the age of 15. Scouts for the agency had been going around Kanagawa looking for future potential talents when they heard of a "cute girl" working at a local bakery store to which young boys flocked for a glimpse of her. Promptly, the scouts arrived at Uchiyama Rina’s house, asking for her snapshot. Rina had been napping at the time, and before she knew it, she had been signed by the agency and in 1998, moved to Tokyo to launch her geinoukai (Japanese entertainment) career.
First appearing in a number of commercials and short Japanese dramas, Rina got her first break in the popular drama series, Le Bel Homme, playing the role of famed Japanese actor, Tamura Masakazu’s daughter. Since then, Rina has been cast in numerous Japanese dramas, often playing opposite members of Johnny’s Entertainment, including Takizawa Hideaki, Domoto Koichi, Nagase Tomoya, Domoto Tsuyoshi, and Kimura Takuya.
Rina recently appeared in the dramatized biography of 19th century Japanese novelist and writer Higuchi Ichiyo Monogatari. Producers chose her for the role, for they believed that among all the young Japanese actresses, she looked best in the traditional kimono outfit. Critics believe Rina is well suited for roles in jidaigeki (traditional Samurai-era dramas), and may bode well for her in possibly winning central roles in NHK’s Taiga series; Rina has already taken part in Musashi, playing the role of a woman driven by ill fortunes to prostitution and unrequited love for Takezo.
Rina has starred in several films, including Go-Con and Sotugyou. In in 2005, Rina appeared in Shinku, originally written by acclaimed author Nozawa Hisashi, tells of the suspense-filled story of two 19-year-old girls; one is the daughter of a family brutally murdered, and the other is the daughter of the murderer. Rina plays the victim’s daughter, while the murderer’s daughter is played up-and-coming young actress, Mizukawa Asami. In Nobuhiro-san (2005), Rina is cast as the heroine who is loved by a ghost.
From her early days as an idol (young TV stars who depend primarily on their cute looks), Rina has developed into a thoughtful and intriguing actress, whose career is still in the process of blossoming.

Aya Matsuura

2007-05-28T23:00:00.000-07:00

Name: Aya Matsuura (松浦亜弥, Aya Matsuura?)
Nickname: Ayaya (あやや, Ayaya?)
Birth Date: June 25, 1986
Blood Type: B
Favorite Sport: Tennis
Favorite Food: Cookie dough ice cream
Favorite Color: Pink

Aya auditioned in 2000 for the 4th Morning Musume & Heike Michiyo Protegee Audition, and was selected along with Sheki-Dol to become a part of what was later known as Hello! Project. It is a common misconception that Aya originally auditioned to be a part of Morning Musume, which she didn't.[1] After being chosen from that audition, Aya Matsuura began her solo career. In time she would become one of H!P's biggest acts.
Aside from a successful solo career, Aya Matsuura (nicknamed Ayaya), has also done numerous collaborations with other members of Hello! Project, including special, usually short lived groups Gomattou with Maki Goto and Miki Fujimoto; Nochiura Natsumi with Maki Goto and Natsumi Abe; and DEF.DIVA with Maki Goto, Natsumi Abe, and Rika Ishikawa. She's also done the "Folk Song" series which feature Yuko Nakazawa and other H!P artists, as well as Hello! Project's shuffle groups (Ayaya was placed in 3-nin Matsuri for 2001, Odoru 11 in 2002, Salt 5 in 2003, and the larger H!P All Stars in 2004).
Also, she has collaborated with Miki Fujimoto as a duo named GAM that debuted September of 2006. Their first single, "Thanks!" reached the #2 position on the Oricon.
Matsuura has appeared in many commercials for various companies; notably Pretz snack foods, Epson color printers, and Kirin beverages. Currently she also takes part and co-hosts the television show Utawara with other names in Japanese entertainment such as Johnny Jimusho's Jun Matsumoto.
Matsuura starred in the Japanese film Sukeban Deka: Codename = Asamiya Saki opposite Rika Ishikawa, released on September 30, 2006.
On October 9, 2006 both concerts she was supposed to hold that day were cancelled due to her not feeling well.[2] Soon several unsourced rumours emerged considering the possibility she might be suffering from Temporomandibular joint disorder.[3] Following the cancellation of the two concerts, Matsuura's management confirmed the rumours, reported the young idol had been taking painkillers to continue working and scheduled a press conference to discuss her condition.[4][5] On the following day Matsuura made a public statement on PBS apologizing to her fans and expressing her desire to get back to her singing career as soon as possible.
Since her press conference, Matsuura has returned to her normal hosting duties on her weekly radio show, "Matsuura Aya no All Night Nippon" and has returned to singing in a limited capacity, as most recently demonstrated on her appearance on HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP on October 23 2006

Her 2004 single "Watarasebashi" (Watarase Bridge) is a cover of Moritaka Chisato's 1993 original. The bridge in the title is one of twelve bridges that cross the Watarase River in the city of Ashikaga.
Matsuura stated in an October 23, 2006 interview on HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP that her parents have had to remove the family placard from their house due to harassment from fans and bosozoku, as the rarity of their surname makes the house easy to locate in Himeji.
Matsuura had a dog named Nana, but it died of liver disease.[6]
She has stated that she is the type of person that only eats one type of food at a time in a meal.[7]
She is rumoured to be the girlfriend of lead vocalist Keita Tachibana from the group w-inds..[
