No matter if you're a seasoned AV fan or a newcomer, you're surely familiar with the name Asami Mizuno. Born in 1984 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, her real name is "Shimasaki Aya." She was the top exclusive rookie actress heavily promoted by SOD in 2012. A month before her official debut, the company went all out to set up a SOD STAR exclusive page, a Livedoor blog, a trilogy of website-exclusive preview videos, a live meet-and-greet, and two limited-time live chats. In that era when video streaming platforms and smartphones weren't yet widespread, SOD's willingness to invest such a huge amount showed they believed Asami Mizuno had the potential to become a legendary actress. Her 170 cm height with a perfect 10-head proportion made her stand out in the actress world, along with her beauty that resembles the school idol everyone had a crush on during student days. Combined with her debut role perfectly matching the prestigious women's university setting, she launched her AV career at its peak right from the start. As someone who really enjoys exploring various light or heavy themes, I often prefer watching actresses try out AV works they've never done before. When Asami Mizuno filmed XRW-353 "Complete Restraint · Complete Domination Forced Irama," she was already in the late stages of her career. Of course, by then her style and image had completely broken down; she was no longer the fresh and charming college girl from her debut. Nevertheless, I still have to strongly recommend this film. Perhaps due to constant negative news or being numbed by netizen criticism, the uninhibited Asami Mizuno no longer cared about anything. Besides appearing in more and more hardcore and even bizarre themed works, she adopted a "let it all go" attitude towards her image, like repeatedly rolling her eyes in this film, letting her lustful body dominate her consciousness. It's really hard to imagine such a massive change in just a few years. Although she briefly retired at the height of her popularity in 2014, Asami Mizuno quickly made a comeback, and her fame remained unaffected, always maintaining heat and topicality. However, in the second half of 2015, fans noticed she was increasingly off, not only with vacant eyes and bizarre heavy makeup, but under the visibly apparent breakdown, many wondered why that pure girl from back then had become like this. Just when everyone was puzzled, the answer soon emerged: Asami Mizuno was arrested for drug use in June 2016, followed by a series of apologies, contract terminations, and retirement, leaving her to make a living through live streaming and working in hostess clubs. After a year of silence, the industry was willing to give her another chance, but she ended up sabotaging it herself because she was later caught by her agency using drugs at home. In her desperate situation, she seemed panicked, not only denying the drug use but also accusing the agency of framing her, withholding her money, and even threatening suicide to prove her innocence. But as we all know, what happened next was that Asami Mizuno and her boyfriend were arrested again in March 2018, this time for drug trafficking, with a massive amount of drugs found in their home, leaving her with no way to defend herself. Compared to the top-tier actress she was back then, her fall to the depths is regrettable, but it's no one's fault; after all, it was the path she chose herself. I just hope she can turn over a new leaf and start anew.
