START-489 - Hypnosis Ray Ruined Blonde Gal, Yotsuba Kominato

Some of you might have seen it on Yahoo News, but I was wondering why there were no new releases, and it turns out this was the reason. AV work really pushes the body to its limits, so she must have been just scraping by. She explained, 'I had a pre-existing condition, and since both my symptoms and test results worsened, I took a break from AV work to monitor my health. At the time, I didn't know what would happen, so I didn't know how to tell you, which led to the delay in reporting.' She added, 'After the observation period, my symptoms have eased a bit, so I'm able to return to work. I hope to find ways to give my best while taking care of my body.' She also noted, 'Since I'll be consulting with my agency moving forward, there might be gaps between releases.' Still, she expressed her enthusiasm, saying, 'My spirit is 100% healthy, so I will continue to approach each project with care. Please continue to support Yotsuba Kominato!' Wouldn't it be better to semi-retire and return in perfect condition? Or perhaps become an SOD employee, support the set, and return once fully recovered. At this rate, she might end up retiring completely. If she is going to semi-retire, I really want her to release 'Obedient Hot Springs' as a final project. Long intro aside, her acting in this work is excellent, but since she doesn't have that natural 'gyaru' mindset, it feels a bit forced. I think the 'innocent girl who is actually a bitch' vibe from her previous work suits her best. Her reactions when being teased also made me wonder if she was a sadist or a masochist. Anyway, I hope she doesn't push herself too hard, though I'm sure the manufacturer knows that too. As an aside, I heard Rikopin also suffered from mental health issues. Thinking about that, the veteran SOD stars really have incredible physical and mental strength.
