Yua Mikami - The Ultimate Schoolgirl Cutie AV Star Praised for Her Student Roles
This review introduces an actress who's quite unpredictable. If I had to describe her, she'd probably have a carefree and reckless personality, wandering the world with a free spirit. Among her roles, the one as a student girl is extremely popular, and because she appeared in so many, she earned a friendly and fun nickname, "the actress who loves school the most." She is Asuka Maekura from Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan, born on December 24, 1989. Before her debut, she was a top escort in the industry, commanding high fees. However, after a friend recommended information about becoming an actress, she found that not only was the pay better than in escorting, but also that having fans and her own works was the most appealing, as it was something she'd never experienced before. So, in 2009, she debuted as an independent actress, working with various studios. In the beginning, she used different stage names like Asai Yuko, Matsuyama Makoto, and Yajima Maiko for various roles, which is basically a mishmash. But her face, which perfectly matches the Japanese aesthetic of a cute girl next door, made her the best-selling independent actress that year. Quickly, the next year, Asuka Maekura was scouted by K.M. Produce, receiving a million-yen exclusive contract, and along with the other two actresses under the label, Fujii Sherry and Kamisaki Shiori, they formed the new actress group "Million Girls."
WANZ-767: Arrogant Lady, Creampie Meat Toy Conversion Plan, featuring Asuka Maekura, is part of Wanz Factory's Creampie Meat Toy Conversion Plan series. I originally didn't have much feeling for Asuka Maekura, mainly because I prefer non-mainstream AV themes and like to see actresses break through. Although Asuka Maekura is known as the top idol-type actress, it's hard for her to innovate because it's difficult to attract new audiences, so she relies on her existing old fans. Over time, if they get bored, she could easily lose her position. However, when I watched this film, I really changed my mind. In her role as the president's daughter, with her arrogant and domineering disdainful eyes, then to her helpless begging for mercy, but still unable to escape the revenge and humiliation, regretting her initial arrogance, such rich emotional transitions—I realized I was wrong all along. Actually, for various themes, it's not about whether Asuka Maekura can do it, but whether she wants to!
After Asuka Maekura won the Adult Broadcasting Awards' "Best Actress Award" in 2011, at just 21 years old, she instantly became the brightest star in the actress circle. However, shortly after becoming a top actress, on March 8, 2013, she released her retirement work "8 Hours 10 Rounds! Retirement of Asuka Maekura," which plunged many fans into instant despair. But, unable to bear her fans' heartbreak, she released uncensored works four months later and officially made a comeback in November of the same year. Afterward, she graduated from KMP and transferred to Wanz Factory as their exclusive actress, sporadically filming works until August 2016, when she announced her second retirement and left the AV industry. But, but, but! In July 2017, she returned again, though she hasn't announced another retirement yet. I really don't know why she keeps going back and forth like this. If she lost passion for filming, it would be reasonable to quit, but she keeps retiring and coming back. Is it really just to take care of her fans? It feels a bit contradictory, but oh well, the answer is in the hearts of the people!
