Mai Asakawa: SOD's First 2000s Star, Forming the Underworld's Big Three
In this film, the female lead is not only a major new talent from the June 2018 summer season but also a key player under SOD's high-end idol label SODStar. She's part of the "Underworld Big Three" alongside her seniors Mana Sakura and Yua Ogura. Her debut was nothing short of spectacular, as SOD is known for its lavish spending as the leading studio. Plus, she's the first actress born in the 2000s, so they had to carefully think through marketing strategies. In the past, Honjo Suzu had a gimmick of pre-ordering 10,000 copies for her debut, and Momoka Kato built her popularity through the PR department's efforts. So, how did they attract fans for her? The answer is with a simple yet effective method: directly featuring her in mainstream media for photo shoots. First, she appeared in the April issue of Weekly Playboy. Through close collaboration with the PR department and various info sites, they created buzz about this girl, who had just turned 18, about to dive into AV filming. This got fans everywhere excited for her debut. Did you guess her name? That's right, she's Yui Hatano, born on March 4, 2000.
STARS-480 Year-end Special! TV Station! Breaking News: Constant convulsions and squirting during work... This work is from the SODStar's TV Station! NEWS series. Although I had some personal bias when selecting this film, as I've always loved similar themes and plots, the main reason is that Yui's performance in it is incredibly energetic. You can see she's a bit shy and inexperienced at first, but she quickly immerses herself in the orgasms and incontinence. And when her fair, flawless pussy rides on the dark, muscular actor, it's impossible not to get excited—especially the crazy pile-driving from behind at the end is amazing, from trying hard to stay composed to completely convulsing and going weak in the knees...
With the hype from PR media and the highly anticipated grand opening, Yui Hatano naturally didn't disappoint. Now, she's not only a fully supported actress and gaming streamer by SOD, but she also won the Rookie of the Year at Sky Perfect TV Adult. People often compare her to Mana Sakura, because she once said she cut her hair short inspired by Mana Sakura, though we all know it's just the company's arrangement. However, due to the strong media spread, there will be even more spotlights on her in the future. But I think it's not a bad thing; it's the only way she can motivate herself to evolve and grow. Do you think Yui will be the next brightest star in SOD or the AV industry?
