Look you and I had this conversation many times already. I don't want to debate you. You have your priority and taste and I have mine. Sometimes we agree sometimes we don't.
Facial surgery is a turn off for me. I've never seen a girl looking better after getting plastic surgery. Arina Hashimoto, Tsukasa Aoi, Mikami Yua, Takahashi Shoko, Nagai Maria, Ono Yuko (Aoi), Hanyu Arisa and probably others but I forgot. Even Aika. Once you try to look like a western girl, you just look like an alien. It's like seeing a white girl getting an asian or black person face features. It's just look stupid. And even Mikami Yua who did the less visible nose surgery, you immediately see there is something wrong.
Are you being naive? Surely you have seen Yua Mikami pix from before her J-pop days. Without plastic surgery she would never survive as a third tier JAV performer, at best an irregulars at Hunter and Apache.
About Aika, I am not a big fan of hers but that's nothing to do with surgery. As a gyaru she has a very successful and long career. She's not trying to please me, she's not trying to please you, she needed to find her own niche, her own persona. Her career is still chugging along after gyaru has stopped being a thing. So she's done something right.
Look JAV is a very harsh medium. The camera is literally on her for 99% of each 120 minutes production. And she's in all kinds of posture and motions, and with camera and lighting guys not necessarily the best of the industry. Just now I caught a little scene of yet another "high profile" debut vid of S1 (SSIS-351 東雲みれい). Supposedly the absolute tops in production and recruitment in JAV. But I found serious flaw on this girls's face. Look in real life, she's probably very lovely. But JAV can sometimes show a girl in bad posture and lighting. For anyone in remain in JAV for over 36 months, I think probability of facial work is very 99.5%.
In real life, absolutely I prefer natural girls (face and body) and I'm very reasonable about expectation vs. magazines/photoshop/glamour world. But in JAV, it's not real life, in JAV I am looking for fantasy. Absolute amazing gorgeous ladies.
even their face is "big". ...
Their body is firm, that's why their boobs are "full".
Well duh... thicc bodies tend to have bigger breasts, I never disagree with that. I am just challenging the idea thicc bodies support anti-gravity bulgy breasts.
Anyway... thicc girls have bigger tits is a simple and well known fact, it's not really worth going on and on about in a topic. More important, these girls are never in the top tier. Their place is hover somewhere with Fitch (JUFE), E-body and Madonna. To be special, to stay as contract girl for S1, Moodyz, Faleno for years, (and for this topic) we are more interested in the un-common. The busty girls who are not thicc. Look I am a fan of Ena Koume too, but she's a thicc girl and at best second tier. If matched against a slim busy girl (who may had surgery), I'd definitely pick the slim busty girl over a thicc natural girl. Of course the absolute requirement is the surgery is so skillful that no evidence can be seen under all kinds of camera angle, lighting and juggling and squeezing and manipulation.
Thanks for the various photo evidence. After watching EBOD-843 intensely and this conversation, I am sad to say I am not becoming a fan of Karen Yuzuriha. But one more time: my compliment to her surgeon, very well done.
BTW, after watching EBOD-843 with subtitle, the somewhat alien (in your word) look of her face and body is understandable. Her persona is ethnic Okinawan (a distinct race from Yamato, the majority race of Japan-proper). The cartoonish plot play up the cultural and moral difference between Yamato and Okinawan. So I think either she look naturally a bit un-Japanese or more likely she had work done to make her look un-Japanese or even.... to be rather harsh, she looks like the creation by a 13 years old virgin boy using
Blender. But the point is the alien look is what she (and/or her agency) want.
