^ Lets branch back onto Julia. Julia to me is a legend, and will go down as one when she retires she's going to go out with a pretty strong legacy and it's well deserved
I think she will too. Fan or not, I'm sure everybody watching JAV know her name. It's like Ai Uehara or Hitomi. And I'm sure everybody will remember Rion too (fan or not).
In other news, Yua Mikami seems to be spending a lot of time in Taiwan, and we assume she's there making, not spending, money. So somehow Yua, with a hugher prestige and star power, is finding opportunities that Julia managed to miss. (or choose to miss???)
Maybe she's trying to do what Yui Hatano does (or did ?), this way, she will increase her fan base even more.
I still think she is vanilla not because she's too lazy/unwilling, I think she is vanilla because she calculated it's a more profitable niche for her, for now.
Without a doubt. And, I'm not a girl so I can't be sure at all, but for an actress, doing vanilla is less stressful than having to do gokkun or other stuff like that. My opinion comes from what I read about former actresses from the west (indirectly). Girls doing hardcore have in a way or another, regrets after, and were in the need (or not skilled or pretty enough) to accept that kind of stuff. Maybe girls are treated differently in JAV (it seems better from the BTS we see sometimes at the end of movies, at least in big studios), but I when I read Uta Kohaku replying to people saying "I like what you did there and this", it follows my thought : most of girls don't like doing hardcore stuff. Who likes to be slapped, forced to deepthroat (to the point of throwing up), drinking a pint of sperm (if it's not fake), being peeing on, ...Like I always say, there is a reason why hot girls don't do that.
On the other way, I never read a girl regretting her vanilla past. Sora Aoi is a perfect example and there is also Yuma Asami, and all those girls.
(sorry for the off topic but that part was still necessary to why "doing vanilla is less stressful")
