Rikako Inoue (井上理香子), a former member of the now-defunct idol group Fairies, is to make her porn debut as Yotsuha Kominato (小湊よつ葉).
Fairies disbanded in 2020, after which Inoue (who was a member of the group throughout its roughly nine-year run) nominally retired from the entertainment industry and became a company employee for two years.
However, the 25-year-old officially adopted the name Yotsuha Kominato in March this year and returned to gravure with a shoot for Weekly Playboy and tie-in 57-page photo book.
This month, she released the music video for a solo song, accompanied by the announcement that she is also making her first porn production. In fact, the video ends with a caption on the screen announcing the next stage of her career.
So it seems the Nagasaki native is shooting on all cylinders, making a new go of things as a gradol, adult video idol, and singer. (It’s not so rare for a porn performer to also work simultaneously as a music idol. Other examples include Ebisu Muscats, which included Yuma Asami and numerous other JAV stars in its roster, and the follow-up group Ebisu★Muscats, plus Honey Popcorn.)
Details about the AV debut, such as the production company and release date, are not forthcoming, but Kominato has certainly found a novel way to publicize her move.
