Kimiko Matsuzaka 1989
I much prefer the hairstyles of the 80s and early 90s to the ubiquitous hair-straightened styles of the 2000s. It may just be nostalgia on my part, but the hairstyles of today lack character. Those teased big-hair manes made women stand out.
Hitomi Kobayashi
By today's standards Kimiko Matsuzaka and Hitomi Kobayashi might be considered uninspiring, but back in their day they were two of the most important
AV actresses and would later go on to create the boom in big breasts videos that you enjoy today. Surely there would have been another massive breasted girl that would have started the ball rolling eventually, but Kimiko was the first and best. Anyway, you can read the wiki about them if you care.
There are a few other really important early JAV gals, but there is little point in knowing their history since before 2005 you won't be able to find anything good to stroke off to, right?
Ai Iijima
Ai was instantly recognizable, unlike so many cookie-cutter girls these days. You all may not think so, but these 3 ladies were the most popular and influential and set the stage for what would become the JAV industry as we know it. Unfortunately, to my taste, Ai's fake breasts were a turn-off. However, she was sexy enough that I could make an exception in my disdain of plastic surgery.

Just in case anyone wants to see a visual list of some of the most popular AV gals of the 80s and 90s, look in the center column of this blog. There will be pictures of nearly all the really well-known gals. Aida Momo, Rui Sakuragi, Yuki Miho, Mirei Asaoka! Omg, I forgot all about those beauties!!
Mirei Asaoka
Now THAT is what I'm talking about! She had a nice natural body too. No bullshit nose-job, no plucked eyebrows, no fake tits. She had a nice bottom too. Fuller than most JAV gals of her day. Anyway, enjoy.
