What's the biggest news today? It's probably that the agency 8MAN is teasing a new release from a super-talented actress on the 25th—who is this actress, and where will she release it? We'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow to find out!
But speaking of which, why the 25th?
This involves the sales strategies of adult video companies: First, you can announce your release list at a fixed time, or you can announce it whenever you want; the key is to find the most advantageous method for yourself. Second, when considering the release list, you also need to consider the strength of your competitors; head-on confrontation is not beneficial. Finally, after knowing the strength of your competitors, you also need to consider your own capabilities. Given the rule in the adult video industry that a release is decided within three days, miscalculating the release time is like throwing an egg against a rock—it's a recipe for disaster.
So, how should we view recent sales? I have two points to make: First, Anzai Lala is still incredibly powerful. Don't be fooled by her current ranking of 40th on FANZA's daily online sales chart; her version with bonus items is completely sold out. Based on this, she has a very good chance of taking the February sales crown. Secondly, another truly amazing actress is Aizawa Minami. Her work, released in early February, is still ranked 7th. If the weekly and monthly charts weren't so unfavorable to her, she should be quite formidable when the February rankings are released next month.

Finally, there's Hayano Uta. Although some people think it's unlucky for her to release an album alongside Anzai Lala, her performance has actually been quite good. Not only did Anzai consistently achieve top ten rankings with two of her releases while Anzai was selling like hotcakes, but Hayano Uta also relentlessly maintained her position in the top ten with two more releases after Anzai's album sold out.
So, the power of newcomers is undeniable. Of course, Hayano Uta herself has excellent qualities. The next step is to maintain sales and work hard to build a strong community, becoming a key member of S1.
