Japanese AV stars with a spin

Step aside, female model-DJs.

A Japanese restaurant-lounge, Haru, is spicing up the nightlife scene here by inviting Japanese Adult Video (AV) actresses to spin the decks.

In the last few months, two sexy Japanese adult entertainment stars, Namiki Yu and Misaki Rola, have already hit our shores, performing at Haru on separate occasions.

Tonight and tomorrow, AV actress Rei Kawashima will be dropping the beats on the decks in Haru, from 11pm till late.

Other than deejaying at the Magazine Road club, the 24-year-old will also put up a short cultural Japanese dance performance. Mr Lee Jia Jun, 27, owner of Haru, told The New Paper: "Getting the AV actresses to make appearances here is a novelty. It's value-added entertainment for our mostly Japanese expat clientele."

He added: "The performances by the AV actresses are not sleazy. They will usually do more commercialised acts such as hosting, dancing, singing or DJ-ing."

The past two appearances by the AV actresses have attracted a capacity crowd of more than 150 people in the lounge.

FIVE-FIGURE FEE

Mr Lee revealed that the club pays the actresses a five-figure appearance fee and that he is looking to make it a bi-monthly event. Haru is not the only nightlife establishment here that has such gimmicks to draw customers.

Last year, the now-defunct Club Lava spent $40,000 inviting busty Chinese model-actress Gan Lu Lu, 28, to make an appearance for its opening night.
