DLDSS-423: A Grand Comeback After 12 Years! At 43, the Former Top Idol Returns!

What? You’re telling me she’s 43?

In the AV industry, you can believe almost anything, but the actresses’ personal details are often just for reference. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve seen cases where the actual age differs from the stated age by up to 9 years, so it’s best not to take it too seriously. However, the selling point of “Mei (芽衣),” a 43-year-old actress debuting under Faleno Group’s mature label DAHLIA, isn’t just that she’s well-preserved and still cute at her age—it’s that she was once an AV actress!

So, is this a long-awaited comeback? Who is she?

The answer is Itoya Mei (糸矢芽衣)!

Does this bring back childhood memories? She started her entertainment career in high school and entered the adult industry in 2006. Back then, she was marketed as a “gravure idol” and claimed to be a close friend of Mihiro—so you can see how popular Mihiro was, as even her name alone could help someone establish themselves in the industry. But Itoya Mei also had her own charm, with her cute face and petite figure perfectly appealing to older men. She quickly became the industry’s most idolized beauty, and her group “Itosaki Azumi” with Kanon Aizaki and Azumi Harusaki wasted no shortage of tissues back in the day. Even after retiring from AV, she continued to make appearances on TV shows thanks to her close ties with Mihiro, until she completely disappeared in 2014.

Now, she’s back.

Her age of 43 follows her previous profile, and she’ll turn 44 in September. However, it’s unclear why she couldn’t use her old stage name and instead debuted as “Mei (芽衣).” It’s possible she left her former agency and couldn’t retain her original name—I’ll update you if I find out more. As for why she returned to the AV industry after so many years, in the promotional video, Itoya Mei said she found filming AV too thrilling and couldn’t forget the feeling, so she actively reached out to the studio to relive the experience. While her age makes her a perfect fit for DAHLIA, at 44, she’s undeniably an adult. Though she looks more youthful than many 30-year-old actresses on social media, how does she appear in the video? Will fans feel that seeing her now is better than remembering her in her prime?

Personally, I think… well, she’s definitely a mature woman now. While the studio has done its best with makeup and post-production, some angles still reveal her age. The first work is fine, but future projects might need more plot-driven elements to excite fans. The good news is that she’s maintained her figure exceptionally well—her petite frame still carries a youthful vibe, without sagging or severe cellulite despite her age. Watching her passionately work with the male actor’s toy, I can only say—

Welcome back! I love you, big sister!
