How much do you like Yua Mikami?

[blackscarf]

I like her moanings too.



She started a youtube channel with gaming vids. I also always take interviews with a grain of salt as it might be 100% bullshit. Shunka Ayami also has a smoking hot body, very similar to Yua's, but don't you think her face changed too much ? Not sure if it's just makeup or because she fixed her teeth, but her nose and eyes look different.

Back to Yua, she's one of my favorite. I tend to prefer Shoko Takahashi when it comes to former popular idols, but Yua is also a very good actress. She also doesn't even need to wear any sexy clothes to look attractive :

Thank you. Very valuable inputs. I don't follow Shunka much so I don't pay attention on her face's change. Will check to see if that's true.

As for Shoko, could you tell me why you like her and how she's doing in the industry? I like her too, but I'm a noob when it comes to idol's life, sale chart, backstories and all that kind of stuff.

While Makimi's releases are scattered through the chart starting from #20​

Yeah She and Rion are also my fav, but not all-time fav...Thanks for your comment though

honestly they are far from my all time favorites ... my preference are different from mainstream JAV audiences

your welcome

jwlim80 already explained it, her sales during 2017 were on top. Basically, she was a gravure idol before a "scandal" (nothing was 100% proved) about some kind of escorting stuff. What I like about her is that she plays guitar in her own rock band. Her voice is also very soft and it isn't just a gimmik (she also speaks like that in her band videos).

The video that pushed her over to AV. Make of it what you will.

Maybe she was just dating a manager or an older guy working in the entertainment industry. I remember a popular Nogizaka 46 girl who got caught dating a married guy (she was 20 and him maybe 35, I don't remember). All I can say is that the guy is simply an asshole : recording a girl just to cause problems to her. [And after, some dudes wonder why they can't get gf or wife lol, if you act like a dick no wonder.]

She and Shoko Takahashi both are overrated but that doesn't mean I dislike them. I don't really agree with the general AV ranking of having those 2 at the top but i see them as good not great, so probably above average. To me they are both physically attractive but Shoko has a very fake appeal to me. They both have very average performances but I think because they are seen as attractive that may be more important than having an exciting lively scene.

Fake appeal ? She acts the same as in her music videos, without being in her AV role.

Also, even though I like vanillla movies, I'm sure most of people who watch JAV like it too, and that explain why her movies (and Yua's) are popular. In those movies, the production is good (image, outfits, ...) and the girls don't have an object image (unlike niche movies were they can be slapped, attached to something etc).

Former celebs even b/c level sell well, especially former AKB/SKE ones. Yua was a shock though she was low on the totem pole and was supposed to be one and done but her Muteki video blew up big time

Their first movies sell well but very few stayed in the business like Yua and Shoko. There is a former NMB girl in S1, but not sure how well she sells. She really doesn't have anything special.

Oh wow I never knew that. I'm also a rock fan. I like Japanese girl bands (such as Scandal, even though they're not pure Rock).
A girl playing in a band and also doing AV is very very attractive to me.

Scandal was the first japanese band I heard and thanks to them, I got an interest in japanese culture (music, language, ...). I even went to their concert in Paris in 2015. Sadly, their sound changed from rock to basic pop/rock (I'm sure it was to gain more western fans). So I stopped following them. I like pop/rock (I really like Silent Siren), but I don't like when a band changes their music just to attract fans. And in rock, there is Band-Maid that is really good.
Anyway, you're right, an AV girl who is also in a band, it's really cool.

 

[jwlim80]

She definately have plans to go back to mainstream.

She likes to dance as she uploads kpop dance covers on her youtube channel. Mainstream in other countries, why not, but not in Japan. I don't think any former AV actress became mainstream in Japan and gained popularity. As every country, you still have the "former porn actress" tag on you face. In France, Clara Morgane is still known for her porn rather than her annual calendars or her "music".

That video of her wearing that red dress made me so horny...

 

[kid_sol]

Link to the video for first post?

 

[Besh]

She is absolutly beautiful and that body is perfect!! The fact that she is also playing in a band hit the nail for me!!

 

[ding73ding]

I am a big fan of Yua Mikami, but serious she has no future in mainstream unless she can maintain a idol status in AV. Her singing is totally sub-profession. And same for the dancing. Look at the backup dancers behind her, are they not as good as her? Without the JAV celeb status she is probably not good enough to be a backup dancer.

Right after the vid finish youtube recommend similar vids, I click on a random one (with a hot ass sticking out) I don't want to pollute this thread with more non-Yua Mikami vids, so I will just give the string you can find the vid yourself "2017 105高雄資訊月 Rhino Angels 熱舞 Bbiribbom Bbaeribom 賴橘子" you can see there are many many hot young girls who are much better dancers. Good dancing skills alone get you nowhere in East Asia you can work the clubs and maybe make a living teaching. But it's nowhere as glamorous that a Yua Mikami may aspire to.

She wasn't already known for her dancing skills in SKE. Singing ... most idols do lip singing There are exceptions though. Sayaka Yamamoto plays and sings live if I remember correctly, for her solo projets.

I watched the video and I think I would stay all day looking at the girl lol. The song is catchy so, maybe I would go on her stage a try to dance with her haha (that wouldn't be as cute for sure).
I agree, dancing skills isn't enough. When you look in the kpop industry, some "groups" have to dance in the street and wear slutty clothes to get attention.

 

[jwlim80]

She could go along this line once she feels comfortable with her established fanbase.

 

[silent1one]

YouTube ads is shit nowadays. Who knows what happens behind the scenes after the camera turns off or in private when she travels to events around Asia? She's just displaying her cute av persona for that one day and news covers her for that day. Her idol background helps her get in to the roles and be successful as a fallen idol(disgrace) fetish. Might need to pack a lot of cash if you're not handsome or famous since she's quite successful in her career.

So this rumour had been gaining traction today :-

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/japanese-pornstar-reportedly-debuting-kpop-girl-group-next-month/

Lol at the comments. Don't they know that their own pop industry is also a very dirty place as well ? Evident by a death of a top star just last month ?( http://variety.com/2017/music/asia/...d-suicide-note-k-pop-pressure-1202644698/amp/ )

I let people be the judge to see if Mikami have the stuff to make it :-

But everything is just a rumour since there are no credible sources to back it up as of current.
