Hara started her career as a junior idol under the name Mai Nanami.[3][4] As a teenager, she sang the theme song Spicy Days (スパイシーデイズ, Supaishiideizu) for the animated TV show The Marshmallow Times on TV Osaka in 2004.[5][6] She also had parts in two movies in 2005, the March TV drama The Dream of Delinquent Boys (不良少年の夢, Furyō Shōnen No Yume) for TBS,[5][7] and the April theatrical release, horse-racing melodrama Haru Urara (Lovely Fields), which was later released as a DVD.[5][8][9][10]
She had also made a bikini-model photobook, Mai Nanami First Photobook, in May 2005 and a non-nude (gravure) DVD titled Mai Nanami: Yamagishi Shin Digital Movie Museum which was released in August 2005.[5][11] As Nanami, she also played the female lead in another mainstream movie that was due to be released in Japan in 2006 but had its debut at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, California in November 2005 as Deep Sea Monster Reigo. The film was eventually released in Japan as Reigo: The Deep Sea Monster vs the Battleship Yamato.[12][13]
After a long hiatus, she re-emerged as Saori Hara in August 2008 and appeared in a non-nude gravure video titled Clear Water.[2][5][14] The next month, in September, she posed nude for the first time in the Japanese men's magazine Sabra, and it was announced that she was contracted to the Soft On Demand (SOD) adult video studio.[3][4][5] She became the face of the SOD group in its anti-STD campaign in November 2008,[15] a role formerly played by long-time SOD AV actress Nana Natsume. Hara's first adult video (AV) was released by SOD in January 2009 with the title Real Celebrity Saori Hara: Miraculous AV Debut[5][16] and was reported to have sold 100,000 copies.[17][18]
About the same time as her AV debut, Hara posed for a set of nude photos set in Tokyo public places by photographer Kishin Shinoyama which was published January 28, 2009, by Asahi Press as NO NUDE by KISHIN 1 20XX TOKYO. Shinoyama has said that he likes working with porn stars because they have no problems with nudity. However, both Shinoyama and Hara were charged by Tokyo authorities with public indecency.[5][19]
Her May 2009 hamedori adult video for SOD, Real Celebrity Saori Hara: Brown Eyes, directed by Company Matsuo, had the quarter-German Hara traveling to Germany for six days to explore her roots.[21] The SOD studio celebrated the end of Hara's first year with the company with the four-hour cosplay video, Real Celebrity Saori Hara: 8 Changes and Sweet Sex, where she plays eight different characters.[22]
Hara made a TV appearance with a major role in the late night 24-part manga-based J-dorama series Jōō Virgin, which was broadcast on TV Tokyo from October to December 2009. Also in the cast were fellow AV actresses Yuma Asami, Akiho Yoshizawa and Sora Aoi.[28][29]
Hara's presence in mainstream films was maintained in 2010 with her role as an aromatherapy client in Yuriko's Aroma (ユリ子のアロマ, Yuriko no Aroma), which debuted at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in February and was released theatrically in May.[36][37] She also co-starred with Asami Sugiura and Mint Suzuki in the 2010 horror parody Horny House of Horror.
According to a 2010 article in Shukan Post, Hara and Maria Ozawa were the two most downloaded AV actresses in China[5] and in August 2010, it was announced that Hara was cast with fellow SOD actress Yukiko Suo (周防ゆきこ, Suō Yukiko) for the US$3.2 million 3-D Hong Kong erotic film 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy produced by Stephen Shiu who was the executive producer of the Category III film Sex and Zen.[38][39][40] The film opened in April 2011.
Hara reportedly went through a nervous breakdown following the March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and decided to retire from show business, subsequently terminating her contract with SOD. As of April 2011, 3D Sex and Zen co-star Yukiko Suo said that she had not been able to contact Hara after the events.[41][42] Her last original adult video, Real Celebrity Saori Hara vs. Amateur Men: Gonzo Initiation, was released on May 19, 2011. She announced her official retirement in August 2011[43][44] and a 5-disc compilation set marking her formal retirement that also featured some previously non-released scenes appeared on September 8, 2011.[45]
Before her retirement Hara also appeared as the lead actress in the Japanese-directed British-produced art film, Venus In Eros which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2011[46] and was released as a feature film in Japan in October 2012.[47]
After an absence of more than two years, in February 2014, Hara announced her return to the entertainment industry under the performing name Miyabi Matsunoi, given to her by actor Lily Franky (リリーフランキー).[49][50] She revealed that for a while after her retirement she had been working part-time in a Ginza bar and that after a short courtship, she had married a man 24 years her senior in October 2012.[49][50] According to an article in Nikkan Sports her new start will not directly involve the AV industry, as she now wants to engage in entertainment activities that her mother would approve of.[50] She also said she had been depressed and was drinking heavily before her retirement from adult videos.[51]

Every morning across this country, moms - always moms - wake up and make little boxes of delicious art for their children. Rice balls in the shape of pandas or bears, complete with eyes and smiles cut out from a sheet of dried seaweed, sausages carved to look like octopuses, and fruit speared with cute animal toothpicks. And all nutritionally balanced, of course.
But some moms go the extra mile - or rather, the extra hour - to make a uniquely Japanese kind of lunchbox: the kyara-ben, or character bento. Think Hello Kitty or Doraemon the robot cat nestled in a bed of lettuce, pigs made out of ham resting on a rice ball, surrounded by a heart-shaped omelet and carrots cut into flowers.
"I'm here because I thought it would make my kids happy if I could make them cute bento," said Saori Inokuchi, a 36-year-old mother of two children, ages 4 and 5, while attending a special class to learn to make more elaborate lunchboxes.
Inokuchi came along with her friend, Maya Minamisawa, who has three kids, ages 8, 4 and 1, to learn from Tomomi Maruo how to make Pokmon-themed bento. Maruo offers kyara-ben lessons at her home through her company, Obento4kids, and also has a YouTube channel.
The women learned how to shape rice into Pikachu, the yellow Pokmon rodent, how to make eyes from seaweed and cheese slices, and cheeks from crab sticks. They made Pok Balls by sticking half a cherry tomato to half a quail's egg then wrapping a strip of seaweed around it, topped off with another cheese circle.
Other mothers started asking her advice, kicking off a business that has had her offering kyara-ben lessons for the past 13 years. "Moms like to see their kids' happy faces, and most moms enjoy making kyara-ben because it's fun," she said.
Kyara-ben are mainly made for children in preschool or kindergarten to help introduce them to a wide variety of foods and stop them from developing picky eating habits. This approach may have some merit: The vast majority of Japanese children happily eat grilled fish and steamed vegetables.
"Thanks to the smiles [I get from my son], making bento each day has become a time I enjoy," Keiko Iwata wrote on the Cheering for Women blog, associated with the government's "womenomics" efforts to getting more women into the workplace and let them "shine."
Many pregnant women are forced to leave their jobs, either because of mata-hara (maternity harassment) or because the relentless working culture is not compatible with family life. Japanese kindergartens in particular place a heavy burden on mothers - from sewing little bags for books and shoes to making cute lunchboxes.
The Japanese Internet is full of photos of adorable kyara-ben, and there are hundreds of books devoted to the subject, with titles like "Kyara-ben for First-timers: You Can Make Cute Kyara-ben Quickly on a Busy Morning!"
A cable channel show offers instruction on how to make kyara-ben inspired by the mascots that are ubiquitous in Japan, and there are even kyara-ben competitions where moms vie to make the most breathtaking box. But sports days and other events where mothers are present - and can check out other kids' bento boxes - often turn into a contest of their own.
This kind of pressure on moms can cause plenty of headaches. One news report entitled "The cause is kyara-ben! A fight breaks out between mommy friends!" earlier this year described the envy that was fomenting between some mothers. Some kindergartens have even started banning kyara-ben for fear of bullying: kids making fun of those with substandard lunchboxes.
There are certainly detractors. "I saw kyara-ben images on Facebook and realized they were made by moms who woke up at 4 or 5 a.m. I am so glad I am not being a mom in Japan," one woman wrote in Japanese on the popular recipe site Cookpad.
Most days, Minamisawa spends 15 or 20 minutes making a lunchbox for each of her older kids, although more ambitious boxes take twice that. She is already thinking about making ghost-shaped rice balls for Halloween.
