The protagonist of this issue is one of the most famous solo project actresses in the dark world, a representative of the lightly mature woman genre, and the epitome of the first-generation ice queen beauty, [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)]. [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] was born in Tokyo in 1986 and officially debuted in the dark world in May 2009. Before that, she was a swimsuit model, and at the time, the studio MAX-A described her as a "super newcomer who reminds you of [Ryo Mizutani] and [Yui Aida]." You have to know that these two seniors were icons of beautiful curves and legs. Giving [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] such a title was enough to show how much the studio valued her. However, just like some newcomers who debut with the label of "little Yang Mi," this overly hyped approach drew a lot of ridicule and disdain from fans right from the start. Setting aside these side issues, [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] herself had exceptionally outstanding qualities, though she couldn't go the cute idol route. She was the typical fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful style. Standing at only 158 cm tall, her small face and long legs made her appear tall and striking, which is a big part of her charm. Plus, she had perfectly proportioned E-cup breasts—while not entering the realm of gigantic in the dark world, her slim body created a striking visual contrast that was incredibly appealing. It's a shame that neither her early studio MAX-A nor later Premium managed to play to [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)]'s strengths properly, leading many fans to think she had poor acting skills—basically, her expressions just didn't land. She was once seen as the new generation's ice queen beauty, but [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] was really just going with the flow, often following the studios' positioning for her. For example, MAX-A loved to focus on her figure and churned out a ton of uniform-themed videos for her. Meanwhile, Premium tried to mold her into a痴女 (obsessed woman) role, but that ultimately flopped too. Luckily, [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] was from the prestigious agency Lotus, and under the condition of no horse racing (staying exclusive), she transitioned from an exclusive actress to a solo project one. She started taking on M-series films, and thanks to her ice queen vibe, these turned out surprisingly well. With her already superior physical attributes, [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] finally hit her big breakthrough once she found the right direction. In 2014, she released her first photobook, which came five years after her debut and was clearly a labor of love. Although she was getting older, her charm hadn't faded at all. According to [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] herself, her first sexual experience was at 16 with a senior from her school, but her actual first time was lost in the fifth grade of elementary school due to a fall. Really, no one needs to dwell on it—women's first times are often just given away to accidents like falling or riding a bike. Six years after her debut, in 2015, [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] was finally nominated for the Best Actress Award, which was recognition of her six years of hard work. Though it's a pity she didn't win, normally speaking, just getting nominated naturally boosts your visibility and helps your career a lot. Just as fans were looking forward to her future performances, shockingly, the day after the awards ceremony, [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] announced her retirement on Twitter. It was like a bolt from the blue for her devoted fans, and all she left behind was the message, "Please continue to love my remaining works," before she stopped posting entirely. It was a pretty clean exit, and whether it was because she didn't win the award or because she was just too exhausted, only she knows. Then, in 2018, some of her non-horse racing works leaked out, which was certainly a happy surprise for many people. But from the perspective of [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)], who had already returned to a quiet life, this was quite troublesome. I also hope that studios would have some moral integrity and stop bullying retired actresses. [Yuna Shiina (Shiina Yuna)] healed so many fans over her six years with her model-like figure and relentless effort, and even after retiring, her works have inspired many. I hope one day she can make a triumphant return.
