April 5th, Utsunomiya Blakes (Utsunomiya... Brex released a post-game player interview video, and unexpectedly, the moment the camera panned across the stands, popular MOODYZ actresses Aoi Ibuki and Nozomi Ishihara were clearly captured – the two were sitting courtside, completely unaware that they were in the frame. The video was immediately recognized by eagle-eyed fans and quickly spread. Aoi Ibuki herself quickly responded on X (formerly Twitter): "I was filmed by Ishihara and Ishihara," instantly livening up the atmosphere. Fans' reactions were equally amused: some joked, "Usually they're the ones 'filming' us, this time it's finally our turn to 'film' them," while others said, "After watching the interview video, I immediately went to watch their work." Many quipped that this was one of the most unexpected AV-related news stories of the year. It's worth mentioning that Aoi Ibuki has previously been caught on camera during NBA broadcasts, making her a true "professional-level camera presence."

Ogura Yuna Announces Overseas Study, Temporary Leaving Activities but Promises to Return with Even More Brilliance

On April 6th, Ogura Yuna (@ogu_yuna), a highly acclaimed actress under SOD, posted a farewell announcement on X, stating that she will be temporarily suspending all AV-related activities due to studying abroad, and that her latest work will serve as a temporary finale.

She wrote in the announcement:

「Study abroad activitiesのためしばらくactivityをお日みすることにしました. "ように頑張ってきます!" (I decided to suspend my activities in order to study abroad. When we meet again, I will return as a more charming "Ogura Yuna"!)

Most of the messages from fans were full of positive energy and expressed their anticipation for her return. Judging from the wording of the announcement, this is a proactive breakup with a clear intention to return, not a withdrawal. SOD also supports this.

Shizuka's SNS accounts have been completely deleted, and her agency's page has also disappeared, sparking speculation about her retirement from the industry

Compared to Yuna Ogura's cheerful farewell, the activities of another actress, Shizuka, have been particularly mysterious.

Recently, netizens discovered that Jinghe's Twitter and Instagram accounts have been completely deleted, and her name can no longer be found on the official website of her agency, NAX, even her model introduction page has been removed. Jinghe debuted in June 2024 with the "SOD Amateur" series, quickly gaining attention for her pure image and excellent on-screen performance. There were even rumors that she had the potential to become an exclusive actress for a certain label. However, this sudden "disappearance" has left fans confused. It is currently unclear whether this is a formal retirement from the industry, a change of agency, or some other reason. There has been no official statement, only silence. We will continue to follow up on any further developments.
