Akarin, meeting you was truly wonderful. Debuting at 19 as a female college student, you quickly rose to become a top AV actress—a pure, elegant beauty. With each release, your charm expanded, and in aggressive girl and documentary-style works especially, you displayed a unique personality and expressiveness that set you apart from the rest. Having lived alongside Mitani Akane for eight years, I've witnessed your growth firsthand. Now, the time for farewell has come. Don't cry, Akarin. You were truly special. Wherever you go, your presence remains unchanged. You'll always live in my heart. Tears don't suit you. Just like always, give us that crinkled smile—I want to send you off with a smile on your face. I'm so glad I met Akarin. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for such a wonderful time!
