Yes, as mentioned before, Miru's change of agency is a major event that has shocked the industry!
Not only are Japanese online bulletin boards buzzing with discussion, but some information websites are also speculating about what exactly happened behind her departure from her former agency, T-Powers: As the top-tier production company S1's primary choice for both acting and collaborations, and the winner of the FANZA Adult Award for Best Newcomer, she shouldn't be someone the agency would abandon...
So, what exactly happened these past few months?
There are a few things I can say to everyone: First, I believe everyone can see that Miru's recent actions have been carefully planned—for example, deliberately pushing her Twitter followers to 200,000 before the announcement of the change of management company, for example... The pre-released account, seemingly flawless, is actually a series of hints that she's ready to fight for her position from the very beginning of her comeback in the adult entertainment industry. Furthermore, before the album release announcement on the morning of the 7th, Miru had already unfollowed her former agency, T-Powers, on Twitter.
Those with a keen eye should have sensed something unusual: generally, unless the relationship is extremely strained, or someone is changing agencies, they wouldn't necessarily go to the trouble of cleaning up their Twitter account. Take "Momose Rinka," who recently changed her name, for example; she followed every agency that handled her career, even her first agency, Bambi, with whom she had a less-than-pleasant transfer, after they reconciled. Miru's haste to sever ties with her previous agencies suggests either a rush to pledge allegiance to a new one or some underlying conflict.
I honestly don't know what happened, but those who have attended events, watched live streams, and followed Miru for a long time know she's extremely competitive yet incredibly vulnerable, desperately needing strong support. This support has two parts: one is comforting her like a comforting bowl of chicken soup for the soul, and the other is whether she can help her career reach new heights...
So, what does Miru want?
It's roughly divided into two parts: one is the performance aspect. As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle. C-More's first step was to keep Miru at S1, and that's already been accomplished. Next is the rest of the planning:
Judging from the announcement of the photo exhibition, I believe Miru has also considered this. What does she want most? The goal is to expand their business and make more money. T-Powers has the ability to cultivate Yui Hatano to global fame, but they have too many actresses. Since the start of the pandemic, Sakamichi's activities have been few, which must have made her anxious to reach the next level, not to mention the overseas market—her former agency had too many well-known talents, and Sakamichi's ranking was relatively low (even Meguri would be ahead of her if they were to use her). But with C-More, firstly, there aren't as many actresses, and not as many ahead of her (comparing production companies, awards, experience, and ease of use). Secondly, given that Miru chose C-More, she must have received some promise. I believe that if this agency has any work to promote, they will prioritize her. She might even go abroad to compete as soon as borders reopen.
Therefore, from this series of actions, it's not hard to see the subtle changes in Miru's relationship with her former agency, and we can roughly understand the full support her new agency is giving her. I think this is a win-win situation for both Miru and C-More.
