I'm gonna make two different points using a minor (low rank) idol 木下彩芽, in some aspects very similar to Arisa.
木下彩芽 Ayame Kinoshita debuted a year plus a month ago, her back story is: 23 years old (then), married and mother of a young child (a girl, IIRC) and her breasts are actively milky. I don't remember the age of the kid, but she takes a small stroller to pick up the kid from kindergarten (or child care) so definitely she's at least 2 or 2.5 years old, and not more than 5 or 6. I don't remember if she said explicitly she is still nursing her kid, but there's a breast pump on the kitchen counter.
I have watched only two of her many works (many are not credited to her name).
Oddly, it's her plain looks that keep me interested. No one here will deny Suzu Honjo is stunning. ...
Yeah... I get you. I mean obviously there's a market for Arisa and her colleagues in the KIRE label. It's a fairly subtle gradation: for the biggest most important fetish (either hardcore/specialized or big market share) it's enough to form a fan base for an independent studio, e.g. Tameki Goro. A grade down it's enough for a label under a big umbrella studio e.g. KIRE under SOD. A further grade down it's not a label but a series, e.g. SDNM 本物人妻 under SOD. Curious eh: Arisa is a de facto contract girl for KIRE, and Kinoshita got her debut and de facto contract status with SDNM.
So yeah I respect Arisa has her fan base, but compare Arisa to Kinoshita, Arisa is 14 years older. For 37 years old, Arisa looks good but not at all special. I admit I'm being pre-judgemental and unfair (not giving her vids a look) but it seems everything that Arisa can offer I can get with Kinoshita but looks much more attractive. In fact I think there are many idols in that board category of mature women/MILF in both KIRE and SDNM that not any of them are particular special except for the highly subjective taste factor. Arisa happens to hit it for you, Kinoshita kinda hits my spot (maybe).
Maybe it's just a one hit wonder thing: I'm kind obsessed about SDNM-297 (it helps that I found the subtitle for it) in the morning, the crew drives to her town and meets her just after she dropped off her kid at the kindergarten. They then discuss (confirm) she has several hours of free time to shot the JAV. Then they walk together (she pushing the empty stroller) back to her home, have a nice warm-up conversation in the kitchen, the crew pointing out some parenting furniture, kid's toys and her breast pump. Her conversation and mannerism is totally convincing that she's a typical (un-interesting) housewife with a young child and a husband. And then the crew confirms once again she's ready for the filming, then the first stud arrives and ring the door bell. A standard fuck scene begins, only minor exception being some milk was squeezed and suckled. Then a rest, clean up and another small-talk, then a second stud arrives at the door... and so on. Until the evening, she gets dressed and the crew follow her as she push the empty stroller to the kindergarten to pick up her kid. The crew got their final footage with her (usual meaningless parting words) a little distance before arriving at the kindergarten and depart (to avoid anyone at the kindergarten, esp. the kid, asking any questions.
I just got a huge hard-on with this vid, her husband left for work, kid dropped off, this MILF then have a crew and multiple studs come to fuck her brains out in her home, clean up the splotches of bodily fluids and went back to her housewife routines, pick up her kid, cook dinner and wait for husband to come home.
If you look, I bet you can find more MILF idols give you similar vibe with "real" housewife side-lining for porn.
If the poker bit of the story is true, she'd be wise to do some streams where she plays. A great JAV (but admittedly easily staged) would have her playing and having to f*ck every time she loses.
Hah... I should have known people would get too excited over "professional poker player". I have colleagues who absolutely qualifies as "professional skier" and "professional golfer". Actually the "professional skier" herself also qualifies as "professional tennis player". But they aren't not because they choose not to. Say "professional golfer" after I dropped my jaw, he explained to me "professional" means nothing like those guys you see on sports TV. It only means that your work in the golf industry for your 90-100% of your income, mostly teaching and caddying. They chose not to be "professional XYZ" because 100% income means nothing if it's less than 1/2-1/3 of his/her normal boring job (accountant, engineer etc); (2) golf/tennis/skiing is not fun when it's "professional": it's mostly teaching boring mid-low level skills to rich talentless clients.
So that's why it's easy for me to believe her poker story. She said she's not a genius poker players but "enough to make ends meet" (I think it's the exact quote from Nobita vid) that's very modest and very believable. "make ends meet" tells you everything, it's about as successful as some guy getting full time employment at McDonald's. You work all day and there's enough income to cover basic food, rent etc. The wording maybe impressive if you don't pay attention, but it's actually very modest if you knows a bit about such things. Mind you my knowledge of poker is based on watching a few hours of "pro" competitive poker on TV back in the 90s. Yeah it's possible to make a modest income taking winnings from weak players in casinos in Macau and Las Vegas. It takes some brains and it's not common at all for Japanese women/wives but also it's not THAT special. Think of this way: her poker career lasted say 2 years, only 6 months of full time poker-ing. She went to Macau twice, total one month, went to Las Vagas once, total one week. Her lifetime winnings minus losses: one million yen. Minus airplane tickets, food and hotel rent, books, lessons, entrance fee, clothing/accessory/cosmetics, basic expense: net earning = negative 200 thousand yen. Add hours and days she work as dealer or low-paying jobs at casinos, net earning = ZERO = "Making ends meet". Of course I'm complete making things up, but say if a poker-player's career is such... are you very impressed? Yet there's nothing inconsistent between Arisa's story with my hypothetical story.
Here's a write-up of the competition where Arisa was a runner-up:
JavBlogs.com -
javblogs.com
The "winner" is clearly a ringer. Her looks are a league above the rest. Kind of suggests Arisa really wanted into JAV and didn't go home after "losing" the rigged audition. After skimming through her fourth JAV, she's come a long way from the debut; she really gets down and dirty in that fourth title. She knows she needs to deliver the goods to make up for less than stellar looks. Effort scores big points with me.
I didn't think Arisa would hold my attention for this long, but I hope she continues with more JAV this year.
LOL you are doing a good job to keep my attention. Maybe I will give her a shot.
Back to the "debate" over the veracity of her back story. You point (
really wanted into JAV ) is really hitting the key contentious point: is Arisa really a self-confident woman who is comfortable herself for money and relations (and generally all aspects of life) AND chose to enter the industry what she says: "personal challenge", "fulfillment" not just for financial difficulty and/or ignorant of stigma against sex work.
The details of her story may not be all true. Everyone embellish his/er story, esp. for self-promotion. But yeah I think it's embellished out of some real life experiences instead of made up out of thin air.
Probably her private reality is far less rosy then the impression she wants to broadcast. Her son might have de facto left the family, so she doesn't care about her porn career affect his social life, or he cares about what his mom does with her body. Most likely NO ONE in his life has ever seen his mom's face so they wouldn't know even if they are masturbating to her vids.
Similar with her husband, they might have divorced, or living apart. So her story that once in a while he would request to have sex and she would "why not?" was a lie. Sure I never say I believe everything that anyone says. But also I don't need to deny everything. I accept the possibility that her story is 100% true.
Back to Kinoshita, is she really living a double life as boring typical housewife/mother and professional porn performer? A MILF who care for husband and kid every day and perhaps had sex with husband less than 50 times (and face the possibility the number won't go up any more even 20 years in future) and because she needs fucking and some income-positive activity for her free time during the day she went and make porn (over 25 vids with her credits, well over 35 vids if you count un-credited titles and online-only vids)
NAH... something is off... 35+ titles just over one year is crazy. I can imagine a number of more believable scenarios: husband up and left, or divorced, or she's abandoned him, maybe he's still around but is completely useless and the whole family depends on her porn income. Maybe the kid has been sent to her (or his) parents in the countryside. Some kind of sob story that no one (esp. JAV fans) cares about. But definitely the story presented by the SDNM series (-292, -297, -300, -304) is inconsistent with other vids of hers. So something must be false or made-up. Since I only discovered her amateur vids today, I can only go by the superficials. What's for sure is she is very comfortable sucking and riding cocks of multiple men, she is handled by multiple studios and platforms, including FC2. So her pretension of a typical (until-now faithful) housewife is BS. I'm more likely to believe she's a sex worker for years, before either marrying or co-habiting with a guy and had a kid. Now the kid old enough (still under 5) to be sent out at least part of the day, she is going all-in for a burst of porn income, she knows she's not pretty enough to have a full JAV career. She knows her lactating breasts are good for short term exploitation.
But having said all that, is the SDNM story 100% rubbish? I tend to believe many bits of that story to be at least half-true. I believe there is a little kid that she gave birth to. I believe she breast fed her for a period of time. I believe the stroller and toys are genuine, I believe the set in -297 is really her home, at least recently.
As for motherhood in JAV, I am amazed of the general opinions. We know the unspoken truth: sex workers can get pregnant, we know many single mothers engage in sex work. We know many men pimps their girlfriend or wife. By "many" of course I don't mean percentage wise, percent wise, definitely its below 1%, but for the country size of Japan, surely there are at least thousands of men, maybe even ten thousand men, who's legally married wife is engaging in sex work? Yeah... let's say 10% of population are currently married men, of them, 1 per thousand wives is in sex work, that gives 12500+ wives-in-sex-work. No I don't think that's an outrageous estimate.
So out of thousands of currently legally married sex workers, could there be say 100 in active JAV? Not a crazy estimate... And how many would admit it? A minority for sure, would there be 10 real housewife-in-JAV, maybe or maybe not. How many JAV performers publicly claim such a thing? I guess fewer than 10. It's a tiny minority of all JAV performers, ASSUMING you believe all of them. Number-wise it's well within the realm of possibility that there are between 2 to 10 JAV performers who are married and willing to admit it (or even use as promotion story). In general, if back story contains a lie, it's the opposite lie, "she's never married, never had kids, never get paid for sex"
Yeah if you say 100% of top 40 ranking idols have never given birth, ok I'm with you. If you say 95% of solo-work idols (name and photo on cover) have never given birth, I'm still with you... hmm why not... But that leaves 1 out of 20? Yeah 1 out of 20 solo work idols has had given birth once in her life.... I think that's pretty reasonable estimate, esp. in the 2020s there are a much higher percentage of mature idols. I have nothing to base my estimate on, sure, so somewere between 1 in 100 to 1 in 10 is not surprising, but if you say less than 1 in 100, I would disagree. If you count name-less un-ranked performers the ratio would go way way up.
It's reasonable to doubt both Arisa and Kinoshita are exactly who they say they are, it's not reasonable to flat out deny their entire back story saying it's impossible. At least I'm quite happy to double-think it while fapping to JAV.
As I spend way way too much time writing this babbling post, I'm also downloading a few more vids of Kinoshita, wanna figure out if she's a "civilian" typical housewife/mom one year ago sudden become a low-ranking+high-output porn worker or a life-time prostitute who got pregnant somehow (with a husband, boyfriend, pimp or client?), took time off to be mother now return to sex-work and find opportunity in JAV.
