In mid-April, two noteworthy developments emerged in the Japanese AV industry—a newly promoted exclusive actress made a strong comeback with her second release, while another popular S1 actress quietly changed her name and embarked on a new journey.
**Rin Seo: IPZZ-839, IP Poke's Second Exclusive Release, Makes a Stunning Debut**
Rin Seo, who joined IP Poke (IP Video) with a stunning debut last year, presents her highly anticipated second exclusive work, *IPZZ-839*. Compared to her first release, this film shows significant maturity in its cinematography and scene arrangement, better showcasing her unique charm. From her initial rawness to her current composure, Rin Seo is proving to the industry with each of her works that she is not just a flash in the pan.
After the release of the work, related discussions quickly heated up on social media. Fans generally commented that the second installment was a step up in terms of overall quality and interactive details compared to the first, remarking, "This is the kind of transformation a professional actress should have." The work is currently performing exceptionally well in sales and is expected to rank high on this month's hot list.
Natsumi Natsu has officially changed her name to "Oikawa Mio"
Another piece of news comes from S1. A popular actress who has been active under the name "Natsumi Natsu" recently officially announced through official channels that she has changed her name to "Oikawa Misakura" (及川美桜). Her new stage name has also been updated on her social media accounts.
She did not elaborate on the reason for the name change, only stating that she hopes to continue supporting her fans with a fresh perspective. Many longtime fans expressed that although it may be difficult to adjust at first, their love for her will not change—"The name is new, but the smiling her hasn't changed." Her first work released under the name "Oikawa Misakura" is expected to generate considerable buzz.
These two seemingly independent announcements both signify a new beginning in their own ways. Whether it's Rin Seori, who is releasing her new work with great anticipation, or Mio Oikawa, who is welcoming the next stage with a new name, the AV industry in the spring of 2026 is quietly brewing their next moment of glory.
