Ichika Matsumoto: 2nd Anniv.

The most devious, sexual little devil is celebrating her 2nd-anniversary of being a JAV actress. Let’s celebrate warmly with Ichika Matsumoto. She’s always been one to play those youthful roles we all know. Her small frame and very young appeal make her a lovable girl for many. Ichika, recently, has been doing quite well ranking-wise among JAV fans here on R18 and even with Fanza.

Ichika’s peachy ass is something she’s never shy to stick out and make it readily available for sex. But it’s only been two years since we’ve been met with Ichika and enjoyed her brand of eroticism in the industry. It feels like so much longer than that, doesn’t it? Regardless, it’s anniversary #2 and Ichika is with Fanza to discuss some things surrounding her two years and some JAV titles.

Interview: Ichika Matsumoto – Cute, Smart, Serious & Naughty

Matsumoto: I’m wondering what we’re going to talk about today.

Fanza News Editor: I’m hoping you’ll give us a status report, but for now, congratulations on your second-anniversary ~ (applause).

Matsumoto: Wow, thank you very much.

IV (Interviewer): How has it been, was it a long two years or a blink of an eye?

Matsumoto: It was a blink of an eye, really.

IV: I’m looking forward to seeing your wonderful work.

Matsumoto: Thank you very much.

IV: What do you do on your days off?

Matsumoto: On my days off, I either sleep or eat.

IV: (laughs)

Fanza News Editor: Do you ever get muscle aches the day after shooting?

Matsumoto: I’ve been given days off, but I usually get sore muscles after a day off. I got carried away and did too many cowgirl positions.

Never Done Any Acting

IV: You’ve done many plays, and you’re very good at acting. Did you go to a training school or something?

Matsumoto: No, not really. Recently, I wanted to join the Himawari Theater Company.

IV: Why?

Matsumoto: I want to study acting, so I want to join Himawari.

IV: It’s a theater company for c***d actors, isn’t it?

Matsumoto: I like Aina Ashida and Shin Terada. I feel respect for them.

Fanza News Editor: Isn’t that a lot of ambition?

IV: That’s true! But that’s not the same as ambition (laughs).

Matsumoto: Hahaha. I’m a small girl after all. I’m influenced by Lolita, so I think I’ll do Lolita (laughs).

IV: (laughs) There are many works that are improvised. Are you the type of person who can come up with something like that?

Matsumoto: I don’t know. If I get into it, I might be the type to let it come out.

IV: What kind of character do you find easy to play?

Matsumoto: I don’t have a character, I just do what I do. I just do it as I am.

IV: Wow, really?

Matsumoto: It’s easy for me to play a character if I can make it look like me. I’m often told that I’m good at acting, but I’ve never done any kind of acting.

Fanza News Editor: You can do that much without any effort. I feel like I’m suddenly off-topic. Since this is FANZA news again, congratulations on being ranked number one actress of the year (applause). Do you feel it?

Matsumoto: No, I don’t.

IV: Quick answer! That’s right. Did you see the names of all the members?

Matsumoto: No, I’m not interested (laughs).

IV: (laughs) – Oh, you’re not interested? That’s how many fans have seen your work. It’s number one in sales, isn’t it?

Matsumoto: I’m very grateful.

IV: I’m sure you get a lot of cheers from your fans on Twitter and such. I guess you don’t see that much either?

Matsumoto: That’s right.

IV: So you’re not interested in the rankings?

Matsumoto: It’s not that I’m not interested, it’s just that I don’t have much of a competitive spirit or fighting spirit.

IV: In other words, you work hard in a place that is different from the competition for sales.

Matsumoto: My passion for my work is stronger than the rankings…

IV: I see. It’s not that you want to sell more than others, it’s just that you want to be able to shoot each piece well.

Matsumoto: I just want to be able to express what I have in mind.

IV: Is that how you felt from the beginning? Or did you start to think that it would be fun to express yourself properly?

Matsumoto: After I became a single-planning actress, I got busy and started to think of it as a job, so I guess that’s when it started.

IV: That’s cool!

Matsumoto: I’ve never had a real job except for this. I think I became aware of it as a job when I started doing it.

IV: Yes, yes.

Matsumoto: I learned that there are many people involved in this project. I guess that’s how I feel.

IV: Do you look at your own work?

Matsumoto: Yes, I do. I look at them to see how they look cute or erotic.

IV: You are a professional, aren’t you?

Matsumoto: After all, it changes the way it looks, doesn’t it?

IV: Have you been watching them since the beginning?

Matsumoto: No. I finally started watching after about a year.

IV: Did your consciousness change in any way?

Matsumoto: I saw a movie with someone, and I was so happy that I bought it, watched it, and thought it was ugly. Maybe that’s when I started watching it. I thought I should try harder.

IV: She is very conscious and self-deprecating (laughs).

Matsumoto: (laughs)

Diligent Note-taking

IV: Your first film after becoming a single-planning actress was Moodyz, wasn’t it? (I Finally Got My First Girlfriend, So I’m Going To Practice Sex And Creampies With My Female Friend First – Ichika Matsumoto)

Matsumoto: Yes, yes. It’s so nostalgic. I love this work.

IV: The play was very natural. The play was developed very naturally.

Matsumoto: This was the first time I did a real drama. I wrote all my lines in a notebook the day before and kept writing until I learned them.

Moodyz Producer: You’ve been working so hard.

Matsumoto: That’s right. I bought a notebook and wrote until I memorized it. Once I had it memorized, I would write the lines on the next page. That’s what I did all the time.

IV: That’s Gekidan Himawari (laughs – the theater group in Japan). This is also a very well-received work.

Matsumoto: My fans often tell me they like it too.

IV: It’s a little like seducing a virgin, but it’s really natural. Have you had this kind of experience in your private life?

Matsumoto:  No, I haven’t.

IV: Why is it that you are able to do this even if you hadn’t?

Matsumoto: I’ve seen other girls’ work. So maybe I’m a little influenced. Maybe it’s Mitsuki Nagisa.

IV: After watching the series, she wrote out a script and came very well prepared. You must have been nervous.

Matsumoto: Surprisingly, I wasn’t nervous. The director was very detailed in his filming. It was easy to do.

Strong-willed Cheerleader

IV: Are you a person who doesn’t get nervous much?

Matsumoto: I think I have a strong heart. But was I still nervous? I don’t remember.

IV: What is your earliest memory of having a strong heart?

Matsumoto: I’ve never been really nervous. Even in school, you have to give a presentation in front of everyone. I didn’t get too nervous at that time either. I liked that kind of thing. That’s why I was a cheerleader leader and so on.

IV (everyone in the room): Cheerleading squad leader!

Matsumoto: You do that in elementary school, don’t you? That’s what I did. I liked being in front of people too much.

IV: Hahahaha!

Matsumoto: But when I was in high school, I decided that I didn’t want to stand out…

IV: Suddenly.

Matsumoto: Suddenly my character changed (laughs). After I realized that I was ugly, I became like this (face down). I was like, “Sorry, I’ll just live like this.” Yeah, well, I’m not nervous.

IV: So you had such adolescence. What kind of club activities did you do?

Matsumoto: I was in the basketball club. But I was a ghost member. I couldn’t dribble.

IV: Wa-ha-ha! You couldn’t dribble.

Matsumoto: That’s right. I couldn’t shoot a layup off the dribble anymore (laughs). I said I wasn’t suited for it (laughs). I was warming up on the bench (laughs).

The Night Before her Debut

IV: You were so nervous that you couldn’t sleep at all the night before your debut.

Matsumoto: That’s a big jump (laughs)

IV: (laughs) So you made your debut because you wanted to try it. And you didn’t have any worries?

Matsumoto: Yes. But I was still a little nervous. I thought I had a lot of guts. I was so nervous that I couldn’t sleep. I remember it so well. I couldn’t sleep at all, so I went all night.

IV: Wa-ha-ha! It sounds like you’re having a great time, but you just couldn’t sleep.

Matsumoto: I couldn’t sleep. Even when we were taking pictures, I was so dizzy because I hadn’t slept. I don’t think I looked good at all. This is how I was doing it. I was like this, squinting in my sleepiness.

On The Verge of Quitting

IV: You said, “I want to quit acting and work properly.” It was “Whispering Temptation” that grabbed my heart. It was directed by Nao Masaki. (Whispering Temptation: Whispering In My Ear And Tempting Me To Lewdness Even Though My Girlfriend Is Close By – Ichika Matsumoto) There were three parts to the story: a new porn director, a men’s underground idol, and a reunited classmate. The development of the fan to classmate part, which was so convenient, made me swoon. I’d like to know how many meetings you had, what your plan was, and what the director’s instructions were.

Matsumoto: The part with the fan and the classmate was not really written in the script. They really just said, “Ichika, you do it.”

IV: So it was a free-for-all?

Matsumoto: No, that’s not it. First of all, before making this film, I talked about my own experience of love, and then she made it.

IV: Hmmm… It’s a setting based on Ms. Matsumoto’s own love experiences.

Matsumoto: I was told, “Think about what you would do if you were Ichika-chan,” so I did it. It was a scene that I thought didn’t go so well, so I was happy to hear that she liked it.

IV: Did you and the director decide on those three scene allocations?

Matsumoto: I thought the story of the underground idol would be more in line with my real life.

IV: It’s based on real-life experiences.

Matsumoto: Scene 2 and scene 3 are based on that. When I told the story of my friend who I used to date who had a job like that, and how I stole away the person she loved, scenes 2 and 3 came to be like that, so I think that’s how I made them.

IV: Did that make it easier for you to get into the story? I mean, she cried at a very good time and in a good way.

Matsumoto: No, really, I just got into it and cried.

IV: Wahahahaha!

Matsumoto: I really cried, I couldn’t stop crying.

IV: That’s right, you couldn’t stop crying.

Matsumoto: I was told not to cry because it wouldn’t be erotic if I did, but I did. But when I was told not to cry, I felt like crying even more. I was like, “Mmm!” So I cried a lot. So it didn’t go so well.

IV: You were instructed not to cry, but you did.

Matsumoto: If anything, the story of the JAV director in scene 1 was much easier to do. I thought that was the best one.

IV: The part where porn star Ichika seduces the porn director and molests him at the scene.

Matsumoto: I think I did a better job with that one.

IV: I thought it was a “typical slutty woman” setting.

Matsumoto: Really? It’s easier to do it that way, isn’t it?

IV: It was probably a setting where you could get it out of your own skin, wasn’t it?

Matsumoto: Yes, that’s right. I had a lot of inspiration from that side. Scenes 2 and 3 were difficult for me.

IV: I thought the character of the convenient fan of the men’s underground idol was a bad idea. He was really good at breaking through our guilt and mental barriers.

Matsumoto: Really? That was directed by director Masaki, so I couldn’t do it very well myself.

IV: I’m glad to hear that.

Matsumoto: Really? Because after I finished filming this movie, I said to myself, “I want to quit being a JAV actress (in tears).” I couldn’t do it well.

IV: Ah… Oh no…

Matsumoto: Masaki and the producer kept telling me, “Don’t worry, don’t worry” (hugging me from both sides), but I said, “But I want to quit” (crying). I was really depressed.

IV: But I’ve seen it (the movie) many times.

Matsumoto: Really? That’s great!

IV: The timing of the tears was amazing, the fans were really bad, and the temptation was absolutely irresistible.

Matsumoto: Yes, yes.

Threesomes? Scream More!

IV: And then there’s the director Samoari’s “reverse pick-up Harem Wagon.” This is also a popular film. Did you enjoy it? (Sudden Reverse Pick Up Harem Wagon – These Tacky Girls Are On The Hunt For Cock And Won’t Take No For An Answer! Aoi Kururugi Ichika Matsumoto)

Matsumoto: Yes, very much.

IV: You’re smiling, aren’t you? (laughs) I heard that you are good at ad-libbing because you are not acting. Also, I thought it was great that she was laughing and playing with his anus the whole time when he was accusing the virgin.

Matsumoto: I like to do anal sex. I do it a lot.

IV: It’s the way you hold your hands. It’s a fist with pointed knuckles. It’s a single fist in karate.

Matsumoto: Not this one (fingertip), but this one (the second joint of the bent index finger), so you poke it there. Surprisingly, everyone gets in.

IV: In the scene where Aoi Kururugi is torturing the virgin, the only thing available is her buttocks. Even though Aoi-san was having sex, she chose to use anal t*****e so that Matsumoto-san could play with her, and I thought she was a very intuitive actress.

Matsumoto: Because what can you do back there?

IV: In a threesome with two girls, you don’t really know what to do. So I thought it was amazing that the actress decided to just play with her anus.

Matsumoto: Yay!

Fanza Editor: I think it’s great to see where you are when you’re not the main character.

Matsumoto: Really, I’m glad to hear that. I thought I was terrible at it. Basically, I play with his anus whenever I have time. Or I touch his balls. It’s interesting to see their reactions. It’s not written in the script. I’d say, “In threesomes, it’s all about having fun.”

IV: Do you think about what you’re doing, or do you just do it because it’s fun?

Matsumoto: Well, sometimes I think about it, but sometimes I don’t…

IV: Hmmm…

Matsumoto: It’s a bit of the same thing.

IV: About the same as the other way around (laughs).

Matsumoto: It depends on the director. He may be serious, so I should do it properly.

IV: Wha-ha-ha!

Matsumoto: In this case, I thought I should just have fun with the director.

IV: He said it was because he could take good pictures of you enjoying yourself.

Matsumoto: Yes. I shoot handheld. If the camera was fixed, I would decide where to shoot, but if it was handheld, I could just move around as I wanted.

IV: You were also happy with my position as a junior character. You called Aoi Kururugi “succubus senpai.”

Matsumoto: I couldn’t call Aoi Kururugi “Aoi-chan” or “Aoi”, so I was happy to be a junior character.

IV: That’s a lot of respect.

Matsumoto: I usually call her “Ms. Kururugi” (laughs).

IV: Really (laughs)? So it’s good that you have a way to say “succubus senpai”.

Matsumoto: Yes, I’ve always thought of her as a succubus.

IV: A cocky junior who teases her seniors, it’s a perfect position for her.

Matsumoto: She’s really cocky, so it’s easy to play with her (laughs).

The Size of Her Breasts

IV: In my mind, the one that would fit this the most is the “awesome technique” movie. It all started with a too-big costume. (If You Can Resist Ichika Matsumoto’s Amazing Technique, You’ll Receive Raw Creampie Sex!).

Matsumoto: Hahaha! (Banging on the desk) Wasn’t that awful (laughs)? The dresser didn’t know my chest size (laughs). (laughs) They’re too big. It’s really terrible.

IV: I also see that you hate to lose.

Matsumoto: I hate to lose. I was really crying when I saw that.

IV: That’s when you get emotional. It’s like you’re thinking about the work.

Matsumoto: I spent my whole life as an actress. On my own.

IV: Did you see it for yourself?

Matsumoto: I did. It was interesting and made me laugh.

IV: I was laughing at how funny it was. But reviews say it’s the best film in the series.

Matsumoto: Really? That makes me happy. I wonder why. Maybe because I cried.

IV: (Everyone laughs hysterically)

Matsumoto: Maybe it would be better if everyone cried (laughs)

IV: No way (laughs).

Ichika Matsumoto is truly herself. It shows in her JAV titles and the beginning of her interview here expands on what we love about her. She enjoys sex, she enjoys being a JAV actress overall. And she takes things extremely seriously when it comes to this line of work. When we return with the 2nd portion, Ichika will go over some new movies and genres she’d love to try.
