TOKYO (TR) – Former IT mogul Takafumi Horie made a splash last year with his announcement that he was set to produce an adult video that would feature the debut of actress Nina.

With such celebrity backing, the 20-year-old rookie, whose “Nina Debut” included multiple partner action, was the clear-cut favorite to snatch the Best New Actress title last month at the Sky PerfecTV! Adult Broadcasting Awards. Yet it was Ai Haneda who came out on top, so to speak.

“Thank you for letting me appear on this stage,” said Haneda, 21, who was attired in a sleeveless white dress adorned with sakura prints during the ceremony that took place at a hotel ballroom in Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward. “I would like to thank my supporters. Right now, I just can’t find the words.”

Now in its seventh year, the somewhat tongue-in-cheek event featured many of the hottest stars who perform regularly in bondage, multiple partner, and fetish roles on programming carried by satellite broadcaster Sky PerfecTV!

The winners of the transparent trophies, seductively licked and gripped multiple times by the AV actresses for the benefit of photographers and spectators throughout the evening, were determined through a mix of online voting by fans and organizational committee opinion, which considered the approximately 10,000 programs broadcast over the provider’s 31 channels during 2010.

Claiming other top awards were Yu Asakura (Best Actress) and Yu Kawakami, aged 29, who was ecstatic after being named Best Mature Actress.

“After eight years in this business, this is more than I could have hoped for,” said Kawakami, outfitted in a shimmering silver dress and pearls. “Even though my body isn’t the most attractive, I’d like to thank my fans.”

Yayoi Yanagida, Amami Tsubasa, Jessica Kizaki, and Azumi Harusaki took away media awards from Yukan Fuji, Shukan Asahi Geino, Livedoor, and Tokyo Sports.

Uta Kohaku of Paradise TV was awarded the Best Production in HD for “No Panty News,” in which news readers do not wear undergarments, and Misa Yuki claimed the Best Program prize.

Saori Hara, last year’s Best Actress winner, closed the proceedings by offering a bit of advice to new the newest AV queen “Make sure that you know your charming points,” said Hara. “Don’t compromise your style, and always strive to be the best.”

The evening ended with the actresses striding down the ceremonial pink carpet and tossing panties to the assembled crowd.
