While it's unlikely any actress will retire at a higher level than Iori Furukawa, the AV industry is constantly evolving. Yesterday, another actress announced the end of her AV career:
Hayashi Aina, AV retirement.
Twitter has dropped the name "Haya Ch'an" (renamed after her real name) and clarified that she is not getting married. Hayashi Mana is taking the end of her two-and-a-half-year AV career in stride—she said she's not someone who craves recognition, isn't very confident, and isn't even very sexually interested in the adult entertainment industry, so she's simply not suited to be an AV actress. Fortunately, she had a manager who took care of her, a very supportive filming team on set, and fans who supported her, which allowed her to stay in this industry for so long. She's truly grateful.
About a year ago, she started considering retirement, reflecting on her attitude towards work, and thinking about what she wanted to become and how she wanted to live in the future. She felt she should value herself more, be more confident, and live a peaceful life. She wanted to continuously pursue her ideals, become the person she wanted to be, and make it a life that no one could deny…
Damn, I understand everything she wrote, but it still feels very abstract. Anyway, she's quitting.
Given the average lifespan of actresses in this industry, petite, flat-chested loli-type actresses like Hayashi Aina faced immense pressure, especially debuting with "Honchu," a company known for its "no-wash" newcomers. Initially, few were optimistic about her prospects. However, unlike many who were quickly eliminated, Hayashi Aina persevered until now, but now it's over.
Thank you, Hayashi Aina. I hope she finds happiness after leaving the AV industry.
