Seeing the nominated actresses actively urging votes for the FANZA Adult Awards, do you find it strange? Is it really that important?
Of course it is! Besides being an honor, it also represents a rise in an actress's rank. What are the benefits of a higher rank? Naturally, it means more event invitations and higher fees. Just look at last year's winner, Hashimoto Arina!
So the actresses are all going all out. Some are speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, and Taiwanese to urge overseas fans to vote, and some actresses who haven't been seen in a long time have promised to "come to Taiwan soon." Besides voting through your FANZA (which is DMM) account, another crucial indicator is the start of the Weekly Playboy Award campaign:

This requires you to buy the magazine, cut out the voting slip, paste it onto a postcard, and mail it back to the organizer; why is this important? Firstly, because overseas fans have virtually no way to vote in this poll, it's the most effective way to gauge an actress's popularity in Japan. Secondly, and most importantly, it doesn't require registering and voting with individual accounts; you can buy as many magazines as you like, and the more loyal the fans, the more votes the actress gets…
So, considering that Hashimoto Arina won this award last year and subsequently went on to win the Best Actress award, this Weekly Playboy Award is truly damn important. That's why we saw Aizawa Minami… The president of Aizawa Minami's agency bought dozens of copies of the book and started making them, hoping that Aizawa Minami would win the award:

Then Aizawa Minami burst into tears!
Some might think this is just marketing rhetoric, while others might be touched by the president's consideration for Aizawa Minami. Regardless of your opinion on the president's actions and Aizawa Minami's reaction, I want to tell you about the current situation between Aizawa and the president:



First of all, the president, who had finally been discharged from the hospital, was hospitalized again, and all his previous treatments had been wasted. His symptoms had completely relapsed, and he had already prepared for the worst; so please don't look... Minami Aizawa diligently completed every job and went back to filming. Actually, despite her close relationship with the company president, she was feeling incredibly down, going straight to the hospital after work…
Their current goal is the FANZA Adult Award for Best Actress. The president even said, "This is my last hope." Regardless of Minami Aizawa's future plans, I'm overflowing with sympathy and genuinely hope she can go on stage to accept the award. I also hope everyone can help out if they don't mind.
