Which actress could make "SOD", the longstanding leader in the dark industry, shell out a fortune just to bring her into the fold? Even on the night before the work information was officially released, they specially announced a "groundbreaking contract fee", estimated at around 100 million yen (22 million TWD)! This undoubtedly thrust this actress into the spotlight, but she indeed has quite the background. Otherwise, for "SOD", an old veteran who's seen every storm, how could they throw so much money at a newcomer? There must be something about her that really excites the higher-ups~ This actress, who created a buzz before even performing and hit the industry headlines right upon debut, is named "Yano Aimo". Here, a quick daily word: "埜" is the ancient character for "wild", because she is none other than the 2014 Japan TV poster girl, Maeda Miri! Tracing back, she debuted as a member of the rock band "Apple Tale" way back in 2011, so "SOD" proudly claims they snagged a major entertainer with 13 years of experience. As for how to prove that Yano Aimo is Maeda Miri? It's simple – just like Nanatsumori Riri, she kept her existing Twitter account but changed the ID~ So if you were following her before, you'd notice that Maeda Miri has vanished, replaced by Yano Aimo. Now, let's talk about her credentials: In 2014, emerging from NTV's Jenny (Japan TV poster girl selection) was the peak of her entertainment career, so she capitalized on it by forming the idol group "Snow Drops" and releasing records, but unfortunately, while she gained fame, opportunities didn't come flying in like snowflakes. By 2016, the idol group disbanded, and with her career not going smoothly, she left her agency the following year, fading from the entertainment scene to work at a regular company until 2018, when she made a comeback with photo books. In 2020, she left the agency again, and the next year, on her 10th anniversary of debut, she crowdfunded and released a photo collection that pushed the boundaries toward semi-nude, but disappointingly, that coincided with the pneumonia epidemic outbreak, which prevented her from attending meet-and-greet events. One has to say, Yano Aimo's professional journey has been full of twists and turns... but things quickly turned around; in 2023, which was last year, she received an offer from the magazine "FRIDAY" for a full-nude photoshoot, and that's when she connected with the AV world~ Why become an actress now, 13 years after her debut? "SOD" even shelled out a nine-digit, "groundbreaking contract fee" to get her to agree, and according to her, it took half a year of consideration before she accepted. The reason is that since her debut, she's always avoided overly revealing performances, but this has become something she's deeply concerned about – whenever she doesn't shine brightly, thoughts like "Am I not sexy enough?" or "Do I have no charm for men?" creep into her mind. So, after ongoing self-reflection, she decided to venture into a new field, step out of her comfort zone, and become an actress.
