Wow, time flies! Yui Hatano has been in the entertainment industry for 13 years.
Yes, since June 2008's "ZERO: More Than an Amateur, Less Than an Actress"... From 2007 to now, Yui Hatano has been with us for a full 13 years. Although she experienced a slight slump in releasing new films after ending her exclusive contract with h.m.p, she experienced a surge in popularity in the Chinese-speaking world after the false death announcement following the 3/11 earthquake, which also boosted the development of the AV industry. Now she is a top-tier figure in the industry...

Yes, she's released a lot of films over the years, and her sales are among the top in the industry. I don't think there's any need to argue about whether Hatano is popular or not, or whether she's only popular in Taiwan; she's a representative actress in the industry. However, I'm also curious, as a super-powerful actress with over 2000 films released, which works does Hatano Yui herself remember most vividly?
Most actresses would probably answer "debut work," especially actresses like Hatano who release so many films; they might have long forgotten when they filmed what. Saying "debut work" is the safest choice. Surprisingly, Hatano has a pretty good memory, picking out three "unforgettable works" in one go:
Number 3: 'The Woman of the Taoist Master' 'Yui Hatano' (Catalog Number BDA-111)
This work features Yui Hatano as the Joker in Batman. In the film, she sports green hair and pale foundation. The chaotic dialogue combined with exaggerated physical movements leaves a very strong impression, making it arguably one of Hatano's recent representative works.
2nd Place 'The Woman with the Head of the Monk' 'Yui Hatano' (ID BDA-045)
Simply put, it's Yui Hatano shaving her head to cosplay Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants—don't worry, that's the result of special makeup. Yui Hatano didn't cut a single hair; you can see the wig marks if you zoom in on the video…
1st Place: 'Aiming for the 10th Anniversary!' '10,000 Volumes x Cumshot with Hatano Yui' (Number HNDS-061)
This was a special project produced by the production company Honchu to celebrate Hatano's 10th anniversary in the industry. They sent Hatano out of Tokyo and asked her to find a way to earn enough money to return home through Twitter, shops, fan meetings, and online sales, with a goal of 10,000 volumes (unfortunately, they didn't achieve this goal)!

It's no wonder these are the three works, because either the makeup takes a long time to prepare or the location shooting is far from Tokyo; in my opinion, she only has the opportunity to shoot these works because she is Yui Hatano. Although I heard every year that she didn't want to continue, after the NFT products sold out in one day, making the operators a fortune of 160 million yen (about 40 million NT dollars), even as her agency, I couldn't bear to let her go.
Please keep up the good work, Yui Hatano!
