She is a veteran actress from the first generation of Ebisu Muscats, and you have to know that back then, every single actress selected for the original group was of epic, legendary status. Objectively speaking, though, she's not particularly stunning in terms of her figure or looks, but she's the kind of performer who's incredibly enduring and watchable. Paired with her signature sweet doll-like voice, it's as tingling and vibrant as eating Skittles rainbow candy, which earned her the title of "doll voice textbook." She is Sakura Rina from Hyogo Prefecture in Japan, born on March 3, 1989, and she made her AV debut at the age of 18 with her virgin work "Hatsuhana - Initial Flower." IPZ-929, titled "Rin as the Scattering Cherry Blossoms... Retirement 200-Minute SPECIAL: Unrestricted Real Boyfriend, 10 Years Since Debut... Her Final Partner Is... Her Current Real Boyfriend," is Sakura Rina's retirement film and a highly controversial one at that. Apparently, the male actor in it was her actual boyfriend in real life, and shockingly, that boyfriend turned out to be the director ZAMPA. This plot twist is absolutely mind-blowing and sparked a ton of discussion and negative backlash, since it's an unwritten rule in the industry that actresses shouldn't date people from the business. Fans had mixed opinions about the work—some were thrilled to see Sakura Rina's most authentic side, while others thought it was totally inappropriate. In the end, it doesn't really matter if it was a planned concept or a genuine performance; you just need to sit back and enjoy this sincerely crafted masterpiece. Sakura Rina once said she wanted her acting career to begin during cherry blossom season, and she also wanted it to end the same way—and that's exactly what she did. In April 2017, during the spring bloom, she announced her retirement. Looking back, her repertoire was incredibly diverse, effortlessly handling everything from cute lolita roles to sensual, lustful vixens. Her enduring popularity never went to her head, and she maintained great relationships with all her fellow first-generation Ebisu Muscats members to this day. Plus, her personal lingerie brand has been a huge success. It's a shame we won't get new works from her anymore, but her timeless, endlessly appealing quality will keep fans talking about her for years to come.
