Actresses your opinion did a complete 180 on...

[Hans Kowalski]

...and I don't necessarily mean because they underwent a sudden and dramatic change, just that they suddenly clicked with you for some reason.

My top example would be Akiho Yoshizawa. For years I found her incredibly bland and boring, I did check out a few movies here and there, because the cover and/or screenshots looked appealing, but she did nothing for me.

Then in late 2014 she put out this one:

So, again, I checked it out, because from the content it seemed like something I'd like. And then I ended up loving her in it.

I decided that I wanna see more of her and downloaded a whole bunch of her previous movies, even ones that I've seen before and found boring. Suddenly I liked them a lot and enough time has passed to say that it wasn't just a momentary lapse of judgement. She infected the "I like!" section of my brain for good.

A similiar case would be Hibiki Otsuki. I always just thought she just looked weird. Then I saw her in ARMG-194.

She was only in one scene of that movie. She played a schoolgirl and gave her teacher lots of sloppy kisses and encouraged him to jerk off. Only in like the last 1-2 minutes did she use her own hand and stroked him till the end.

I thought that was pretty hot, so I went back and checked out a dozen of movies of her that I passed up before and really liked most of them. I still think she looks weird, but in a good way at least.

An opposite case would be Yumi Kazama. While she was never one of my favorites, I quite liked her but for some reason, I don't even know why, some day she just started to bother me. In my recent JAV purge, to get some free space on my hard drives, her movies wre among the first to go, unless other good actresses were in it.

So: What are some of your examples? Maybe you can make others change their minds too!

Maybe you can make others change their minds too!

Perhaps.. perhaps not. I'm the kind of person that won't take advice unless I can be fooled into thinking it was my idea all along. However, the "180" has happened for me many times. I think of it as like the "faces/candlestick" illusion:


You can look at it for ages and just see one image, then suddenly there's a small epiphany and you see the other which was there the whole time.

The last time it happened in a big way was Aoi Shirosaki. Many times I would see her among other idols in ensemble scenes, and my opinion was pretty much "meh..".
Then I watched this movie...


[MZD-005] All Gokkun, 23 Shots

.. and I was totally won over, especially with those friggin' cat-ears!


Brown eyes that look like they go back forever.


Kitty-cats just love that milk...


If you haven't seen the movie, you'll have to take my word for this, but the guy is coming in her mouth at this moment, and she finishes him off beautifully. This sort of thing is easily faked - there's often a 'cut' shortly before the counterfeit money-shot - so I'm always pleased to see a real one, which this is.

Of course, after absorbing this release I set out to find all her movies (I'm sure you all know the drill), all the while thinking "how did I not see her like this before?" By the way, she began her career as Minami Kashii.




She had short hair for so long (ha! I just read that back), and I used to think I could never imagine her with long hair. Then she started growing it out and now I think she looks great. Not better - short bob cut on a dark-haired idol looks fantastic - but just as good.

Hmm.. anal sex. When an idol suddenly starts doing anal it can often be sign they're just about done. We shall see...

For me it was Sora Aoi and Yuuna Mizumoto. I knew that Sora was popular but my preferred body type was more like Sarasa Hara, Megumi Shino, Aino Kishi, Saki Ninomiya, Yuuki Natsume as an example. But then I saw one scene of SOE-339 that was subbed in English and then I started collecting her works and even commissioning a full sub of SOE-339.

Yuuna was a very similar story. I keep seeing the cover to SDMT-272 but never downloaded it. And then for whatever reason I did and it was Top 2 hottest JAVs for me. Since then I collected her works. And also commissioned subs for SDMT-272. Yuuna was great at playing roles where she was blackmailed or taken advantage of.

Mao Hamasaki. I used to be pretty apathetic towards her, but her recent videos she's been great. Improved cowgirl, BJ and overall enthusiasm

 

[EroMura777]

It happened to me recently with Shiina Yuna. I was never really fond of her until watching RCT-681 and knowing that she is retired. Now I'm checking her filmography and getting some of her material.

 

[Supmop]

usually I get "What You See Is What You Get" / WYSWYG, coz I like agressive girls in porn, and I did some research first before download, so I'm rare to get something different from what I expected

one of my biggest disappointment : when I tought Mihiro did orgy action in SOE-240, but she did not participate in that orgy scene

I agree. Although I've always liked her looks, I was often a little frustrated with her performance. In the last 6 months or so, she's really become a formidable idol.

I suppose Uta Kohaku would be my only 180. Thing is I never really watched anything she was in simply because her looks never caught my attention. I knew of how popular she was but to me she was nothing special to look at. We have all looked through 100's of JAV covers and see girls that just doesn't draw out attention or make us take a 2nd glance. Well Uta was that for me. Just another random pretty Japanese girl. Well she just so happened to appear in an Aroma BJ series that I loved alongside Sena Ayumu. Sena was a favorite of mine and she was my only real focus. Well the first scene was with Uta and I was floored. She was incredible. Plus, she had always had short hair but in this flick her hair was was the longest I had ever seen her with and it really changed my opinion of her looks for the better. I officially understood the hype with just that one scene alone. I immediately started looking through her flicks and she does not disappoint. Great performer.

 

[Inertia]

Uta Kohaku has a serious amount of charisma bordering on manic that when harnessed well works wonders.

 

[Supmop]

most of the guy think Uta Kohaku is not pretty enough, but she can fuck very well

 

[moseslim]

Jav actresses that seem pretty hot, then I found out that she's like 50 years old.

sexy mature women with a lot of experiences is the best

Mika Osawa, she's got a weird nose that looks like it maybe got broken at some point in her life. She's a bit plain looking in general and when I initially saw her on a movie cover my general thought was, "eh."

But then I saw her fuck a few times. Damn she's great. Her deepthroating scenes are incredible, she did some exceptional gokkun videos. Just all around a great performer with a really submissive attitude.

On the opposite end is Maria Ozawa who I initially found incredibly attractive but who's scenes are always incredibly disappointing to me. After watching quite a bit of her stuff I now skip over anything I see with her in it.

What's the name of the woman in your avatar? She's hot!

She is Chieko Natsushita (夏下千恵子) glad you like her, indeed she is very hot ^0^
The lady in your avatar is Kana Nagasawa? she is one of my favorites.

And over the course of a few hours, the size of my Yui Hatano collection went from 0 (1 if you count REAL-512, which I only got because of Rei Mizuna.) to 14, which is pretty good considering how selective I am with the movies I keep. I used to think that, while she could look nice on covers, whenveer I tried one of her movies, something about her face and smile just looked off. I don't know why she just clicked with me now all of a sudden, after so many years, but I gotta say, she has a nice body and tongue.

I still think that lol. But I recognize that she can give me a boner by the way she speaks to guys in her movies.

 

[Hans Kowalski]

I know what it is. Her smile makes her look like the dude from Rocko's Modern Life.

But I finally managed to get over that and like her now.

Welcome to the club! Yui is wonderful. I did a 180 on her after her performance got better a year or so ago. I recognize the last picture from the WANZ cowgirl video. Really good.

 

[Ghostbird]

I see that Yui hatano is constantly in the top 4 on R18.com but I don't see what makes her appealing.
