Today, I'm introducing this female guest who grew up alongside many friends from the 70s and 80s, sharing countless passionate nights as a figure of the era. Maybe she didn't study diligently during her student days, but her works are absolutely mastered by heart, because she's a beautiful memory in the hot-blooded youth, especially her bad teacher series. In that era of slow internet speeds, even if you had to wait a whole day, you still had to download her videos, because you could skip homework, you could not review for exams, but you couldn't not appreciate her works. Who is she? The answer is Matsushima Kaede, one of the Dark Three Divinities. In conservative Japan at the time, with her stylish blonde hair, bold and trendy gal style, and a hint of fashionable aura, she not only dominated the Japanese AV market but was also one of the few actresses whose works broke into other Asian markets, especially her high popularity in China. Under the limitations of unspread internet media and 3C phones, she could remain unaffected and become a common topic across Asia; in a way, Matsushima Kaede was a pioneer in expanding the Japanese AV industry internationally. Born on November 7, 1982, from Fukuoka Prefecture, she dared to love and hate in the actress profession, and in later interviews, she openly said that she entered the AV field because she wanted to buy a car and study abroad, but she didn't expect that what was meant to satisfy short-term material desires would unintentionally make her a dominant figure in the Showa era of actresses. IPTD-598 "Widow: I'm Sorry... Matsushima Kaede" is from IdeaPocket's widow series under their label. The widow theme is quite unique in the AV world, especially with Matsushima Kaede's alluring beauty and pitifully charming delicacy, along with the progression and unraveling of the plot; it's not only pleasing to the eye but also full of rich detailed twists. The main plot is that Matsushima Kaede, playing a widow, in a moment of passion, has sex with her husband's subordinate who escorted him home drunk. Thinking she could forget this mistake safely, but after her husband's sudden death, this contradictory and buried emotion gradually intensifies, slowly taking over her life. The conflicted Matsushima Kaede—how will she choose? As fate or as a trial? As I said in the first paragraph, Matsushima Kaede dares to love and hate in the actress profession; she clearly knows why she's doing it, so she doesn't linger or miss it; once her goals are achieved, she withdraws. Thus, on July 31, 2007, at the peak of her career, she announced her retirement and openly admitted it was to marry her boyfriend. However, due to differences in values, they broke up before marriage. The next year, on October 7, she returned and joined the renowned company S1, releasing her comeback work "Electric Shock Revival." Two years later, on July 29, 2010, she retired again. Matsushima Kaede's personality is truly admirable; it's so straightforward and carefree, without any hesitation; every decision can only be described as decisive. On May 30, 2012, recent photos of Matsushima Kaede after retirement were revealed, showing her carrying a child and pushing a stroller; basically, this photo formally symbolizes the passing of youth, and Matsushima Kaede will only be a beautiful memory. On February 26, 2013, on her personal blog, she announced that she is married and confirmed she will not make a comeback.
