This year marks the third anniversary of Aya Shiomi joining Dogma as an exclusive actress. While she initially entered the AV industry driven by her passion for SM and a desire to master it, she's primarily appeared in hardcore and SM works since her debut, even after becoming a Dogma exclusive. Last year, her performance in the theatrical SM drama "Shura" earned her recognition at the Oldenburg International Film Festival in Germany, where she and I were invited to attend. The German audience was highly impressed by her acting skills, particularly since she had never aspired to be an actress or had any role models in that field. It's common for most AV actresses to start with softer content and gradually transition to harder genres as they gain experience, but Shiomi's dedication to SM and hardcore roles from the very beginning is truly unique.
As we enter her third year as a Dogma exclusive, I wanted to explore genres she's never tackled before. While she undoubtedly loves SM, I believe Shiomi possesses the talent and charisma to excel in other areas as well. To showcase this, we decided to revive the "Solo Masturbation Guide" concept after a decade, allowing her to immerse herself in the world of solo erotic performance through virtual reality.
Shiomi diligently researched and incorporated her own insights into the script, memorizing the lines and making them her own by the day of the shoot. While she may have felt some initial awkwardness and tension performing in front of the camera without a partner, once the cameras started rolling, her focus and erotic energy knew no bounds, transcending genre limitations. This incredibly realistic and sensual virtual video serves as a testament to Shiomi's undeniable allure, proving that her appeal extends far beyond SM. Whether it's a short cosplay drama, a story about a dominant older sister and her virgin brother, or a tale of a nurse with insatiable desires in a surgical ward, her performance in each scene is captivating and believable, defying expectations for a first-time attempt.
I urge all viewers who typically shy away from SM and hardcore content, or those who haven't had the pleasure of experiencing Shiomi's work before, to check out her "Solo Masturbation Guide." This year, we aim to further expand Shiomi's appeal beyond SM, showcasing her versatility and captivating presence in diverse roles.
