I wonder if anyone has noticed this? Veteran adult video studio Max-a has no new releases next month…
Yes, not a single one! I was shocked, fearing the studio was finished. Thankfully, this AV veteran will be back in full force next January—while it's uncertain whether their last remaining exclusive actress, Haruhi Suzumiya Kotone, will retire, at least there's a rather interesting newcomer:
We all know this studio has been declining significantly in recent years. Given the industry's tendency for agencies to shrink, even with new talent, one can't expect much, right? But this time, "Sato Hana" is different!
How is she different? Naturally, she came with a very strong selling point. With the severe pneumonia epidemic, the AV industry entered a state of self-restraint; production companies were unable to film, and meet-and-greets were completely suspended. Frontline shops were facing the risk of closure (and several actually did).
So what did they do? To attract fans, some shops hired beautiful female employees to offer visual treats. This is how Sato Hana connected with the AV industry—according to information provided by the production company, Sato Hana has loved watching AVs since childhood, having watched over 2000 works and working at an AV specialty store since she was 18. She is currently working at the well-known Lammtarra Media World in Akihabara. World) go to work⋯

From her Twitter, I know she really helped organize a lot of events for the store and has been watching their work, but since Sakurai Aya... After debuting as a female employee in SOD's publicity department, everyone knows that the promises of adult film companies are often deceiving. Their carefully crafted persona will likely be quickly discredited, so we mustn't let our guard down.
However, when Japanese netizens came knocking, Sato Hana proved remarkably shrewd. She not only knew everything about the shop by heart but also the intricacies of filming. It seems she's taking even a gimmick seriously. Not long ago, she announced that in addition to filming AVs, she would continue working as a shop employee, and to differentiate herself, she even adopted the name "Mogami Ichika" specifically for her films, suggesting a long-term career plan.
Let's see if she slips up in the future. However, there are a few things to be aware of first. Max-a's copywriting is quite cunning. It deliberately mentions that Sato Hana started working at an AV shop at 18, making people think she's a super young and fresh-faced woman. But looking at the cover and her selfies on Twitter, frankly, she does have a bit of a married woman's charm. This becomes clear when you visit the special page the production company created for her:
She was born in 1996, making her 24 years old this year, but judging from her Twitter photos, no one would doubt she's 30, right?
My intuition tells me there's a lot to uncover about this actress. Perhaps her agency is behind it, or the production company is trying to emulate SOD's previous strategy of using female employees to attract attention before rake in profits—even if it's a scam, I don't mind. If Max-a can gain attention and sales success through this, these ambiguous projects are always welcome. They desperately need a hit!
