Saori Hara
Saori Hara is a former Japanese adult video star, model, and actress, who has also performed under the aliases Mai Nanami and more recently, Miyabi Matsunoi or Miyavi Matsunoi. Born in Hiroshima Prefecture to a Japanese mother and a father of both German and Japanese descent, Hara began her journey in the entertainment industry as a junior idol, adopting the stage name Mai Nanami. In 2004, during her teenage years, she showcased her vocal talent by performing the theme song "Spicy Days" for the animated series The Marshmallow Times, aired on TV Osaka.
Her early career included appearances in two films in 2005: the TBS drama The Dream of Delinquent Boys and the horse-racing melodrama Haru Urara, which later became available on DVD. That year, she also released her first bikini photo book, Mai Nanami First Photobook, and a non-nude DVD titled Mai Nanami: Yamagishi Shin Digital Movie Museum.
Transitioning to a more mature phase, Hara rebranded as Saori Hara in August 2008, debuting with a non-nude gravure video called Clear Water. Shortly thereafter, she posed nude for the first time in the men's magazine Sabra and signed a contract with the adult video production company Soft On Demand, becoming a prominent figure in their anti-STD campaign.
Her first adult video, Real Celebrity Saori Hara: Miraculous AV Debut, launched in January 2009, quickly sold 100,000 copies. Hara also gained attention for her nude photography in public spaces, leading to legal issues for both her and the photographer. Throughout 2009, she continued to diversify her work in television and film, including appearances in various genres such as sex comedies and disaster parodies.
