Life and Career
Akira Watase was born July 2, 1980 in Tokyo, Japan.). Her AV debut was in the May 2000 Media Station Cosmos Plan release, Venus.
After a number of other videos for various AV companies, Watase retired in 2001 but returned to the AV industry in 2002. Upon her return, she began making videos for Moodyz, a studio she worked with for most of the rest of her career.
In July 2002, she appeared in the interracial Moodyz video, Black Semen in L.A. (ブラックザーメン in L.A., Burakku Zāmen in L.A.?), which was shot in Los Angeles, California. In this video she engaged in group sex with five African-American men. She was also featured in another interracial video for Moodyz, Black Swap in L.A, which was released in February, 2003. In addition to her hardcore work, Watase also starred in the softcore V-Cinema erotic drama Pretty Bus Tour Guide (綺麗なバスガイドさん, Kirei na Basu Gaido san?) which came out in November, 2004. Over the course of her adult film career Watase starred in over 200 releases and was considered to be one of the most popular stars of the genre until she retired from the industry in mid-2005.
Watase had appeared in an "uncensored" video - one without the mosaic censoring of the genitals required in Japanese pornography - as early as November, 2003 with the release of Super Idol Vol. 33: Akira Watase by FantaDream and several more uncensored videos were released after her retirement from the Japanese AV scene.
In August 2008, Watase reappeared in the AV industry under the name of "Rei Narumi" (なるみ礼) with a release under that new name coming out in September for DEEP's, one of the companies in the large Japanese adult video conglomerate Soft On Demand (SOD), although the content appears to be a re-edit of a 2005 release.

Famous quotes containing the words life and, life and/or career:
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else’s life not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
