In ancient times, there were the small bridges and flowing waters; now, we have Daqiao Weijiu. Every time I watch this actress's works, I can't help but think of Ma Zhiyuan's "Tian Jing Sha: Autumn Thoughts," one of the four great Yuan dynasty playwrights. Rumor has it that her classically elegant stage name was inspired by a popular Tokyo TV news anchor at the time. Born on December 24, 1987, Daqiao Weijiu might not ring a bell for some Gen Z or even millennial friends, but this sex machine who could slay gods and Buddhas alike was once the boss of the mature woman genre, revitalizing the AV market and captivating thousands of young men. In April 2007, Daqiao became an exclusive actress for kawaii*. In her early career, she sported a neat short haircut, which became a distinctive and easily recognizable trademark for her debut period, as few actresses, especially newcomers, appeared with short hair at the time. MIDD-669 "The Female Anchor Always Makes Eye Contact with the Camera" was a special project tailored by Moodyz for Daqiao Weijiu. I originally thought that news anchor themes were dominated by the big studios ROCKET and SOD, but this film changed my mind. Although the set design lacked luxurious detail and the content was somewhat monotonous and mediocre, the merits outweigh the flaws, and it didn't detract from the overall viewing value—instead, it created a unique flavor. Upon closer inspection, even though the plot wasn't particularly rich, the camera transitions and pacing were quite professional. Moreover, the film allowed the news anchor character to react when harassed, which let us see Daqiao Weijiu's masterful control, with her subtlety and explosiveness in sex scenes hanging by a thread. Such refined acting skills are befitting of Moodyz's ace transfer student, and it also proved they could handle news anchor themes just fine. As her popularity and fame accumulated over time, following industry tradition, she inevitably expanded into other forms of performance and roles. In 2010, Daqiao joined the actress group BRW108 and, along with Shusuke Yukiko, Tomita Aika, Kitagawa Hitomi, and Kiriya Yuria, formed the singing group "Pinkey." The following year marked her peak; she not only took on the 2011 "Premium Five-Year Anniversary Special Project," starring in a lavish collaboration with Asami Yuma and Sakuragi Rin, but also secured the center spot on the cover photo. Her fame then skyrocketed, earning her the 24th place in the Japan Adult Film Star 30th Anniversary Poll, which included many legendary figures from the past, solidifying her extraordinary status in the industry. However, after seven years in the business, she chose to announce her retirement in July 2014, reportedly because she had found a romantic partner and was considering marriage. But just five months after retiring, Daqiao surprisingly returned to shoot for Caribbean. While it's common for retired actresses to dive into the uncensored world for quick cash, it's rare for a goddess-level star to boldly film uncensored content like this, which was a win-win for studios and fans alike—they could savor her censored works in detail while enjoying the straightforward intensity of her uncensored ones, truly killing two birds with one stone!
