What's the most important thing you should know if you want to research AV actresses?
The answer is their agency. Knowing the agency allows you to analyze the actress's career trajectory—it's not difficult; just look at how they managed the actresses in the past.
The question is, how do you find the agency's account?
Some actresses' Twitter accounts will indicate their agency, which you can follow directly. However, some agencies feel that this kind of promotion is too slow, so another method is becoming popular:
That is, taking over the actress's account!
For example, 8MAN, the agency of Anzai Lala, uses the Instagram account of its actress "Washio Mei" as its official account, which has indeed become a powerful promotional tool. The revival of Anzai Lala, Riho Agasa, and Yuko Ono has made the agency the focus of attention. Another talent agency, NAX, followed suit. With the help of Misaka Ria and Kanzaki Mai, the agency suddenly gained two official accounts: "Official Account" and "Women's Publicity."
Some might wonder, why can the agency just take these accounts so easily? Won't the actresses object?
Logically, the two actresses shouldn't have any objections, since they're both no longer in the industry: Misaka Ria has retired, and Kanzaki Mai has suspended work; neither of them updates their Twitter accounts anymore. So, it's better for their agencies to use them.
Therefore, don't be too surprised; this will likely become a way for agencies to find a voice in the future. On the other hand, while they suddenly gained two accounts with over 20,000 followers, it also meant the agency lost two top talents, which is frankly a pity.
