BREAKING: Saika Kawakita Lands TV Gig, Nina Nishimura's Surprise Comeback & Latest Dating Show Starring JAV Stars!

Get over Love Island, mate! This exclusive gossip will have you reaching for your wallet to pay for a subscription. Abema TV recently announced the latest season of the much-talked-about dating reality show, Love Hyena, and as is the ritual, the inclusion of JAV actresses is very much real with this one. The lineup will have you losing your minds. Starring four of the most recognizable names from the JAV industry. This season has it all: high stakes, heartbreak, and high-profile drama.

Gracing your screens this season will be Yura Kano, Asaro Kokono, Airi Nagisa, and the recently retired Yuki Takeuchi. Four JAV actresses are locked in a house with men they haven’t met before! If you’ve ever wanted to see JAV actresses try their hand at romance without a script, this is your moment. The casting seems exciting, to say the least!

First off, we’ve Yuki Takeuchi, the eldest and undeniably the most recognizable out of the lot, making her return to the spotlight after announcing her retirement from JAV last year. You might recall that she had exited the industry, claiming her “aspirations had shifted” and she was seeking “new challenges.” Well, turns out that falling in love on national television might be that challenge. And trust me, after the year she’s had, including getting scammed out of millions by a fake tax officer over the phone, Yuki could very well use this as a redemption arc. A show that could give her morale a boost.

Next up, we’ve Yura Kano, whose tweet in response to the show’s announcement gave fans a rare glimpse into her softer, more vulnerable side. “I entered the industry without much experience with men,” she admitted. “I haven’t had the kind of romantic relationships worth talking about. But I want to try facing love properly.” Yes, Yura, we’re all for seeing you transform from a JAV siren to a hopeless romantic. I’m tuning in!

Meanwhile, 22-year-old Asaro Kokono isn't holding back either. She hopped on the bandwagon as well by confessing, “I’ve been cheated on so many times, I’ve lost confidence. I’m tired of always trying to please others… I want someone to see the real me.” While reality dating shows thrive on emotional vulnerability & drama, Kokono might just bring us to tears between the hot tub scenes.

Airi Nagisa, the baby of the group, maybe the least known among her show peers, but her fresh presence could be the wildcard viewers don’t expect. And let’s not forget: when it comes to taking those dating shows off the charts, it’s always the ones you least expect to shake things up.

According to Abema TV, the show will run weekly for four episodes, each episode, presumably packed with emotional mess, a few smooth pickup lines here & there, and maybe even a tearful confession or two. The first episode is free to stream for a limited time, but only for the domestic audience. So for the rest, I’d suggest you get a VPN subscription. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this!
