aori Hara (原紗央莉 Hara Saori) is a Japanese AV idol, model and actress who has also used the name Mai Nanami (七海まい Nanami Mai).
Saori Hara was born in Hiroshima Prefecture to a Japanese mother and a father of mixed German-Japanese parentage.[2][3]
[edit]Mai Nanami
Hara started her career as a junior idol under the name Mai Nanami.[3][4] As a teenager, she sang the theme song Spicy Days (スパイシーデイズ Supaishiideizu?) for the animated TV show The Marshmallow Times on TV Osaka in 2004.[5][6] She also had parts in two movies in 2005, the March TV drama The Dream of Delinquent Boys (不良少年の夢 Furyō Shōnen No Yume?) for TBS,[5][7] and the April theatrical release, horse-racing melodrama Haru Urara (Lovely Fields), which was later released as a DVD.[5][8][9][10]
She had also made a bikini-model photobook, Mai Nanami First Photobook, in May 2005 and a non-nude (gravure) DVD titled Mai Nanami: Yamagishi Shin Digital Movie Museum which was released in August 2005.[5][11] As Nanami, she also played the female lead in another mainstream movie that was due to be released in Japan in 2006 but had its debut at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California in November 2005 as Deep Sea Monster Reigo. The film was eventually released in Japan as Reigo: The Deep Sea Monster vs the Battleship Yamato.[12][13]
[edit]AV debut and 2009 activities
After a long hiatus, she re-emerged as Saori Hara in August 2008 and appeared in a non-nude gravure video titled Clear Water.[2][5][14] The next month, in September, she posed nude for the first time in the Japanese men's magazine Sabra, and it was announced that she was contracted to the Soft On Demand (SOD) adult video studio.[3][4][5] She became the face of the SOD group in its anti-STD campaign in November 2008,[15] a role formerly played by long-time SOD AV actress Nana Natsume. Hara's first adult video (AV) was released by SOD in January 2009 with the title Real Celebrity Saori Hara: Miraculous AV Debut[5][16] and was reported to have sold 100,000 copies.[17][18]
About the same time as her AV debut, Hara posed for a set of nude photos set in Tokyo public places by photographer Kishin Shinoyama which was published January 28, 2009 by Asahi Press as NO NUDE by KISHIN 1 20XX TOKYO. Shinoyama has said that he likes working with porn stars because they have no problems with nudity. However, both Shinoyama and Hara were charged by Tokyo authorities with public indecency.[5][19]
Also in early 2009, Hara was in the TV Asahi movie Mission Section Chief Hitoshi Tadano: Season 4 Special, a tie-in to the fourth season of the manga-based TV show.[5][20]
Her May 2009 hamedori adult video for SOD, Real Celebrity Saori Hara: Brown Eyes, directed by Company Matsuo, had the quarter-German Hara traveling to Germany for six days to explore her roots.[21] The SOD studio celebrated the end of Hara's first year with the company with the four hour cosplay video, Real Celebrity Saori Hara: 8 Changes and Sweet Sex, where she plays eight different characters.[22]
Not long after her AV debut, Hara had a role in the Nikkatsu sex comedy about the porn industry, Lala Pipo: A Lot of People (ララピポ?), written by Tetsuya Nakashima, which reached theatres in February 2009.[5][23] In April of that same year, Hara had a featured part in the disaster-parody comedy Saikin-rettō and also sang the theme song for the movie.[5][24][25] July 2009 saw her play the protagonist in kunoichi sexploitation V-Cinema film Female Ninja Spy (隠密くノ一列伝~秘められた女忍び~?) that was also released in an AV version.[26][27]
Hara made a TV appearance with a major role in the late night 24-part manga-based J-dorama series Jōō Virgin, which was broadcast on TV Tokyo from October to December 2009. Also in the cast were fellow AV actresses Yuma Asami, Akiho Yoshizawa and Sora Aoi.[28][29]
On December 11, 2009, Shueisha published Hara's autobiography titled My Real Name Is Mai Kato: Why I Became an AV Actress (本名、加藤まい 私がAV女優になった理由) (ISBN 4087805409).[3][5][30] The 144 page book details Hara's upbringing and family life, her views on sex and her career as a teen idol and eventual AV idol.[17][18] Her book is one of a number of autobiographical publications by actresses about the AV industry going back to Ai Iijima's million-selling Platonic Sex and including Mihiro's partially fictional May 2009 work nude and Honoka's tell-all Biography of Honoka: Mama, I Love You published in January 2010, which adult media reporter Rio Yasuda sees as marking a trend in which the AV industry is losing its stigma and being assimilated into Japanese popular culture.[31]
Saori Hara was born in Hiroshima Prefecture to a Japanese mother and a father of mixed German-Japanese parentage (father was German).
