There's been a lot of good news lately among actresses, although it's accompanied by some negative industry trends, it's still acceptable. Following Kimura Minoru's proposal to his girlfriend Matsumoto Mei after winning the championship, another retired actress, Maika, announced at her concert yesterday that she actually got married on May 19th, her birthday. She's now a wife.
So why is Maika called Yui Hatano's older sister? It's not because they became sworn sisters, but because they were both members of the idol group me-me. They performed at adult expos and participated in concerts in Taiwan. However, after me-me disbanded, Maika lost her dream of working in the adult video industry. With the farewells of Kanae Ruka, Kanzaki Shiori, and Yui Hatano, she officially announced her retirement from the adult video industry, continuing her musical dreams under the stage name Mizukami Mari.
Maika, who got married this May, will continue her music dream, a dream she loves even more than her husband. It seems her husband has never appeared on screen, but that's okay. Given her relationship with the three actresses mentioned above, her former team members are aware of this and have offered their best wishes.
Back when Maika held her me-me concert in Taiwan, I already saw five different styles within the group. Yui Hatano seemed to have an endless supply of autographed photos, Shiori Kanzaki was frantically memorizing lyrics and dance moves, Ayane Fujikita was almost completely silent, Ruka Kanae didn't participate in the concert due to illness, and Maika, the remaining member, fully demonstrated her leadership qualities, handling everything from the song order to every detail. She genuinely loves music and possesses a professional spirit.
Now, Maika has pursued her dreams and completed her wedding. Yui Hatano and Shiori Kanzaki are still working in the AV industry (although Yui Hatano no longer makes films), and Ruka Kanae has retired and moved to the sex industry. Compared to these, Maika is the happiest. Best wishes to her.
