This is baffling!
Following Seta Ichika, another actress whose exclusive contract ended has returned to her former agency: Amane Yui (天音唯), who spent several months working outside the industry, described as undergoing "martial arts training," returned to the production company kawaii* in March and is back as an exclusive actress!
This is truly amazing!
Why did kawaii* bring her back? Logically speaking, there are a few possibilities: First, they regretted it, realizing how good Amane Yui was after she left, and that no other actress could replace her; second, they saw Amane Yui's growth during that time and felt it was better to use her after the software update rather than spending money on a newcomer; third, their own exclusive actress encountered a problem and needed someone to fill in, and they had worked with Amane Yui for a long time and had a good understanding...
But actually, we all know that none of the above three reasons hold true!
These days, there's no shortage of new talent, especially since kawaii* has always been a good source of new actresses for the WILL Group (Hokuto, formerly CA). There's really no reason for them to bring back an old veteran as an exclusive. As for Amane Yui, frankly, I can't see any significant improvement during this period. She was only gone for three months (December 2021 to February 2022), and she didn't have many works. To say she's made significant progress seems far-fetched and makes the decision to let her go seem foolish.
Therefore, my opinion is that the agency BAMBI has immense power.
Some people have also asked me if Amane Yui's new agency is powerful enough to bring her back to kawaii* as an exclusive actress? This needs some explanation. Amane's initial agency was BSTAR, later switching to BAMBI. While it might seem like a change of agency, it's actually within the same system. BSTAR is a high-end agency for top actresses within the BAMBI system. Therefore, Amane becoming a BAMBI actress meant she was demoted from a top-tier agency to a second-tier one…
[e30a4988756ae6794246884.jpg]It's true that BAMBI is a powerful agency. Their three top stars, "Tenshi Moe," "Shiraishi Marina," and "Toda Makoto," are all exceptional talents. The recently joined "Hongo Ai" is a powerhouse in the industry, adept at building strong social media presence. While production companies generally have more power than agencies, they still have to give way to BAMBI, a top-tier agency in terms of scale, number of actresses, and influence. So, after negotiations and reaching an agreement on the details, Amane Yui returned to kawaii* as an exclusive actress.
However, because Amane's departure was so short, I can't help but wonder why they didn't do it in the first place. BAMBI could have prevented her departure from kawaii*. Was this comeback show really necessary? But anyway, congratulations to Amane Yui!
