Hmmm...if she doesn't improve her look to something resembling her prior appearance, it honestly might be time.
That said, if she is retiring, hope she goes out with a bang and does an IR or anal video or something haha. I've always wanted to see her do an IR video.
It might be too late for that. First do we all agree what's gone wrong with her? I don't know "it" is so easy to fix. Say, if it's about weight, losing weight causes other problems to one's look, especially naked and from all the positions and camera angles in sex scene, really every little flaw is revealed.
The bigger problem might be freshness, she's been in the industry since 2009, one of the most senior vet (by time). Even if she can magically un-age, the market may be looking for fresh faces.
I enjoy anal vids and in principle, IR too. But in her case, if she hadn't done it in 7+ years I don't know I'd expect her to do it now. She had already done a lot of fetishes, so if X hasn't been done, then it must be what she doesn't want. Also uncensored, unlike anal sex, shooting uncensored vid is exactly the same, only diff is the "last private part" is shown or not shown. So I wonder... why hasn't she done some uncensored vids already??
Actually I am not unhappy to see Ayaka retires in 2017. She's done everything within her limits, and if she's not willing to do anal, say, well she won't. So what else is there to do? Her looks has gone downhill, her name isn't selling vids, I'd rather see her move on and hopefully enjoy a normal life. She's reminding me of Ayumi Shinoda. Both long time vets, still reasonably beautiful, but hit a ceiling in the career. Not so old that marriage and family life is totally hopeless (not easy for sure). Very curious what they can do for the rest of their lives. If marriage/family is out, then what? Maybe escort or hostess?
But if Ayaka is just quietly fading away, I'd be rather sad. She deserves a fanfare/retirement vid or even a series of vids, surely include a "career highlights" box set.
