Nana Miho Feature | A Guitarist's 3.5-Year Journey to S1 Stardom

A Retirement That Made S1 Write “I Wish I’d Seen More”

Four months after her retirement, on April 10, 2026, S1 released a complete box set containing all 39 of Nana Miho’s solo works. In the official description, there’s an unusual line from the label — the kind you don’t normally see in marketing copy. The genuine feeling, they wrote, was that they wished they’d seen her perform even more. In a place meant for sales pitch, regret was stated plainly.

Her retirement announcement on July 29, 2025, reached 2.93 million impressions on X. The announcement itself became news — the spread numbers prove it.

Her career debut also carried unusual numbers. In June 2023, her VR debut was made as S1’s first-ever 8K VR work, and it collected 223 reviews. That’s an exceptional count even within S1’s VR catalog. Had a sample video been available, the introductory premise alone—questions and answers that draw out her personality—would explain those 223 reviews.

A 19-year-old guitarist from a live house became S1’s face in 3.5 years, and left while singing. This is the record of that journey, traced through real numbers and firsthand words.

Her X bio reads: “I’m Miho Nana ✌️ Bstar Exclusive (@bstar_pro) Sub ▶︎ @natan_pome Fan name ▷ Naatan Chi 🍎”. She has 384,000 followers, and even after retirement her account continues to update. Instagram shows 181,000 followers across 89 posts. The official fan name “Naatan Chi” sticking around reflects the closeness she maintained with her fanbase throughout her career.

X was opened in April 2022. Over 3.5 years until retirement, she posted 7,311 times. A ski resort post of hers hit 1.8 million views—her presence beyond her work was itself part of the career. Her Instagram bio still reads “S1 Exclusive” even after retirement, and that unchanged line now speaks to the weight of 3.5 years of loyalty.

Print media exposure came early. One month after debut, in July 2022, she appeared in Weekly FLASH. By September she’d released a photobook through Tokuma Shoten. After that, digital photobooks from FANZA followed—etoile, Clarity—recording her across video and stills for the full 3.5 years.

3.5-Year History: From 134 Reviews to 2.93 Million Views

2022: Debut With 134 Reviews, and a Live Show Five Days Later

Before AV, her name was Momose Konan. She played guitar and vocals in a girls’ band called WAI WAI PLANET, taking stages in live houses. On June 24, 2022, she debuted with S1 as Nana Miho. The official introduction captured the sales angle perfectly at the time.

Large, sparkling eyes. 100% smile. Overwhelming cuteness at a glance! A true straight-shot AV idol is born. (Excerpt: FANZA product page, June 2022 release)

Reviews: 4.42 with 134 ratings. For an S1 newcomer debut, that’s top-tier response—the numbers showed that at 19 years old, she already had both freshness and comfort in front of the camera. That’s the starting point for the 3.5 years to follow.

A comment from her at the time survives in industry media: “There are so many shining, cool people in this industry, I thought I’d give it a try too. I want to stand out with both sexiness and cuteness!” (netatopi, July 2022). What’s remarkable is what happened five days later. On June 29, she held a live show at Ikebukuro Live Inn ROSA. Few people in S1’s history debuted in AV and picked up a guitar that same week.

In November, a divine response men’s esthetic work hit 4.57 with 51 reviews. “Whatever the guest asks for, we refuse nothing and give our all to serve” (FANZA product page, November 2022) — that marketing line matched the warmth in her smile, and a smile-based service route became her early calling card. Sample video would show it from the first treatment scenes.

2023–2024: S1’s First 8K VR and Moving Into the Spotlight

In June 2023, a turning-point work arrived. VR debut. The first line of the official description places this work’s historical significance:

S1’s very first 8K VR work! Nana Miho’s flawless, youthful skin, unguarded smile, slender frame—all rendered in stunning clarity! Through 100 questions and answers, feel what this new-era sexy idol “Nana Miho” is really like! (Excerpt: FANZA product page, June 2023 release)

S1 entrusted their first-ever 8K VR to a girl just one year into her debut. The result: 223 reviews. That’s an exceptional count even across S1’s entire VR catalog, proving how well an intimate medium pairs with an unfiltered smile. A work that functions as both an entry point to VR and to Nana Miho herself.

2024 was her mainstream year. A school setting with 175 reviews, a private VIP nurse with 196—solo 2D works started hitting three-digit review counts. 196 reviews is the highest for her in standard 2D, and a response of that scale to situation-based content is a real measure of her fixed fanbase’s depth. VR held steady at high levels, including a lingerie maid at 4.62 with 63 reviews. In September, a best-of collection bundling two years of 21 titles came out: The Beloved Solar System Beauty. The language in that title—consistently personality-focused—showed how S1 had settled on her positioning.

2025: 2.93 Million Views on Retirement Announcement to Final Release

In March 2025, she took on her first original collaboration with S1 and MOODYZ together—a live-action manga adaptation. The manga Late Night Shift With Him, Me, and the Manager had sold 220,000 copies. Reviews hit 3.83 with 12 ratings. Entering a genre with a pre-existing fanbase was a chance to open a drawer beyond smile and reaction: the ability to “act.” Her final year documented that growth.

In June, her highest solo rating arrived: 4.83. Then, one month later on July 29, she announced retirement on X.

Dear everyone who has supported me: I, Nana Miho, will be retiring as an AV actress at the end of December 2025. I want to repay everyone’s support by creating even richer time together until then. Until my final moment as Nana Miho, I’ll run with everything I have.

That post reached 2.93 million impressions. In statements to media, she also said “The time I spent with everyone was truly a treasure, and being Nana Miho was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life” (Yorozu News, July 2025).

True to her word, the ending was dense. December 3 brought a retirement VR, “I Always Want to Be Your Number One” (4.75 with 20 reviews). December 19 was the retirement work: a fan appreciation festival. The title posed a challenge: “Beat me and I’ll let you…” with fan participation. The description carried her words: “Everyone, thank you for 3.5 years. It truly was a wonderful 3.5 years.” Reviews: 3.81 with 16 ratings. The creative concept split opinion, but the choice itself—to face fans head-on until the very end—stayed true to the pattern of this entire career.

177 works. Which one is your entry point? Her debut’s 134 reviews? The 8K VR’s 223? Or the 16-hour box set? But first, let me tell you about her other career.

The Music Thread: From Momose Konan to Mi LUNA

She never put down her guitar. On September 3, 2023, she released a solo track “Koakuma Darling” across all platforms—Apple Music, Spotify. An idol unit born from a TV Tokyo show, “Mi LUNA from Otsuki-chan’s Song,” brought her in as a founding member alongside fellow S1 actresses Yagi Nana and Furukawa Honoka. In January 2024, they dropped their 1st single “LUNA LOOP.” There’s a comment on her unit work too: “Everyone covers for each other’s shortcomings, and I hope our closeness becomes our strength” (qetic interview). That’s how someone with band experience talks about group performance.

The unit later expanded to five with Ishihara Nozomi and Aoi Ibuki, and a 2nd single “Your Eyes” followed. There’s debate about AV actresses in idol units, but Nana Miho’s band background gave the framework credibility.

VR’s affinity with her wasn’t unrelated to music either. Eight VR works total, all scoring above 4.1, including a men’s esthetic VR at 4.49 with 67 reviews. The unguarded distance of someone used to performing—that translates to maximum effect in a medium where a face is 30cm away.

That musical history crystallized in one VR work. April 2024, a street-live VR. A romance begins with a fan who keeps coming to a street performer’s show. The title carries her line: “I was the one getting energy.” Review: 4.52 with 48 reviews. When someone who’s actually stood on stages plays it, there’s no falseness in how she holds a guitar. A band background became scenario—the one work in her career where music and adult content merged completely.

Representative Works: The Final Two

’Locked in a Room With Muscular Men’ (2025) — 4.83: Her Highest Solo Rating

Released June 2025, one month before retirement. Confined for 10 hours in a hardcore setting, she achieved 4.83 with 12 reviews—her highest solo rating ever. From her debut’s 4.42 to the late-career 4.83. The growth arc pointed upward to the end, and this real number documents a side opposite to her early comfort-focused path. Sample video would show the difference in her face between this and her debut—the distance of 3.5 years of growth.

‘Complete Retirement: Last AV — All 39 Works Complete 16 Hours’ (2026)

And here’s where that opening quote comes from.

She passed away, and only then did we understand her worth… (Excerpt: FANZA product page, April 2026 release)

Late at night, play 16 hours straight. From her debut’s first orgasm with 134 reviews through the 8K VR’s 223, the nurse’s 196, up to the final 4.83. Nineteen became 23 over 3.5 years, flowing without pause inside one box. New work won’t come. But everything is here in full.

Buy turning points one at a time, or hit all 16 hours at once. Either way, you’ll end up at the label’s words: “I wish I’d seen more.”

Who Nana Miho’s Works Appeal To

• The healing type who wants gap appeal too: The contrast between her everyday smile and her in-scene intensity is stunning. A rare actress delivering both
• Looking for a VR entry point: 223 reviews on a VR debut doesn’t lie. An unfiltered smile at arm’s length—that’s something only VR can truly deliver
• Story-driven scenario enthusiasts: Across school settings, NTR, esthetics, even manga adaptation, her range is spot-on. She brought emotional depth to every angle
• Following a complete career arc: All 39 solo works across 3.5 years—from debut through retirement. Everything is finalized now. Play from start to finish and watch a 19-year-old become 23 years old

Summary: She Ran Without Setting Down Her Guitar

A guitarist from a live house became S1’s face in 3.5 years, made the label write “I wish I’d seen more,” and left while singing.

Two paths forward: chase turning points one title at a time, or absorb all 16 hours of the complete box. The 177-work catalog moves even after retirement. Through 2026, compilation projects continue—100-sex S1 compilation specials, 25-person harem collections. Old works get new shelf space, a sign demand keeps confirming. The 384,000 X followers don’t shrink; the account stays active even now.

At retirement, she wrote that she’d run at full speed until her final moment. The real numbers bear it out. The surest way to preserve these 3.5 years is to buy them legitimately through FANZA’s catalog.
