On a quick side note, I've been trying to find out what happens to the performers we like after they retire. One of the main actresses from AV producer KMP's imprint production house, Million was Nao Oikawa and I've been able to find out that she's transitioned into mainstream TV as a director and "talent" or show host. Former AV performer Arisa Kanno who did a lot of work with Soft on Demand and Idea Pocket, recorded her final movie somewhere between 2010 and 2012 and word on the street is her goal was always to own and run her own hostess club so once she saved enough money, that's what she did and she's been a bar/club owner ever since (probably under her real name) and hasn't looked back. Some don't wanna be found and I respect that. I definitely don't want to start a trend of bothering anyone and disrupting their new life as a private citizen but Riku Minato, for example, retired yet still posts sexy pix on IG every few weeks. In fact when Riku retired, she left the door slightly cracked, saying that "if" she returns to AV, it'll be under her own conditions and control. And she still looks great. That butt! What happens to Emiko Koike, Ichika Kamihata, Monbu Ran, Kurea (Claire) Muto and Reina Fukiishi? I believe Fukiishi and Kamihata got married so they are likely living very simple lives under their real names and good on them, leave them alone. But the others just disappeared and you I would think they would have a second life in the industry as directors or producers. If they're out there and unashamed of their pasts, I'm curious about what they're doing now!
