AV Open is a major awards contest for the Japanese adult video industry. It went from a limited sales contest in 2006 to become, via its successor the AV GrandPrix, the major Japanese AV award with nearly 100 participating companies competing for the 2009 awards.

The first prize award was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hideto Aki
is a Japanese adult video (AV) director who has directed more than 300 movies since 1998. Life and career Hideto Aki was born in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan in 1970.

Although he says he always enjoyed pink films, especially the "Four Devils" (or "Four Heavenly Kings of Pink"), he is doubtful about trying to use dramatic stories in AV.

He says he has to do it sometimes when the production side wants it or if they are using a famous actress but he describes dramat ...
