Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, that classic fantasy novel, I bet everyone knows it—it's one of the greatest fairy tales out there. Even if you're not much of a reader, you've probably heard of it somewhere, since it pops up in all sorts of textbooks. The main story follows Alice falling down a rabbit hole into a dream world full of anthropomorphic animals, where she keeps encountering all these talking creatures. But in the end, it's all just a dream, short-lived yet packed with adventure, twists, surprises, confusion, and all the vivid moments of life. Anyway, after all that rambling, how does this relate to the actress we're discussing today? Well, there's a pretty strong connection. For one, her name also includes "Alice"—specifically, Alice Nanase. And secondly, her career in the industry was incredibly brief, yet dazzling and full of color. She's Alice Nanase, born on February 25, 1997, in Saitama Prefecture. She made her debut in the IP company's "Aipoke Talent Discovery Project" series. Even without landing an exclusive contract, the description in her works—"the highest class of ultra-erotic amateurs"—makes it clear that Alice had the goods to be exclusive material. With her pure, soft, and adorable face that can be both seductive and playful, not to mention her petite yet perfectly proportioned body, smooth and fair skin, and those F-cup breasts, she stood out head and shoulders above her peers and even veterans. I reckon the reason IP only signed her for one film is that they probably thought their little temple couldn't hold such a big Buddha! IPIT-005: "Do you hate women who love H? A sensitive, cute, and beautiful girl who gets wet 5 seconds before a kiss—AV Debut of Alice Nanase." As for her debut work, all I can say is she scored a solid 99 out of 100 based on her performance—my only takeaway was one word: intoxicating! Let's start with the basic character setup from the studio: she's not some celebrity, not a rich heiress, and not the ultimate body type; the real reason she entered the dark side is simply because she loves sex that much... You might think that's a tired, unoriginal setup for such a top-tier beauty, but after watching the whole thing, you'll realize the character doesn't even matter anymore. Why do I call it intoxicating? Because just the thought of a kiss gets her so wet she can barely handle it, paired with her blushing, shyly adorable face, and then escalating to a deep, passionate tongue kiss with the actor, like they're star-crossed lovers on the verge of a lifelong farewell—it's etched in your mind and soul. I almost felt like I was watching a Qiong Yao romance drama...! As the saying goes, gold always shines, and after Alice's first appearance with IP, all the major studios started fighting over her. She first joined the new agency "All Pro," then got signed by the KMP group as an exclusive actress for their top sub-label "Million," even becoming the head of the president's office. And here's something noteworthy: she took on this role right when the company was celebrating its 20th anniversary, so it was extra meaningful. Of course, she also inherited the title of KMP's leading lady after Sakura Kanna retired. But just when everything seemed to be going smoothly in her career, Alice suddenly vanished without a trace. On November 10, 2022, she said goodbye to everyone on Twitter and hasn't logged in since—not just her main account, but her side accounts, the president's office one, and even Instagram have all gone silent. For someone who was a pro at building her fanbase through social media interactions and mutual follows, this had to mean something was seriously wrong. She even missed her scheduled "Nature Shooting Event," with the organizers straight-up posting on Twitter that they couldn't find her, which implies even her agency had lost contact. It was like she completely evaporated from the world... Finally, two months later, her Twitter showed some activity: she corrected her account name, deleted the posts about the missed event, retweeted info on her new releases, shared magazine interviews, and liked a bunch of stuff. Although we've confirmed it's her running the account, it doesn't mean she's fully back yet, so her agency hasn't scheduled any new work. We can only hope Alice sorts out her personal issues soon and returns for good!
