Since no one seems to have announced this here yet, I do.
Abashiri Ikkan, who produced many many metallic videos in Japan, passed away in early July.
His old friend Hitomi Kousuke posted it to X, and Abashiri's X account announced it as well.
I have no direct acquaintance with him, but every messy producer knows his name in Japan because he attained commercial success not only in the small fetish community but also in the common pornography industry by metallic sex videos.
Maybe some of you see his trailer videos or pictures on the internet without realizing his name.
Damn, the passing of a legend. I have stuff of his going back to the days of Manon Production VHS tapes. The Japanese gold kink scene would almost certainly be a lot smaller if it weren't for his efforts.

Hitomi Kousuke, who was the producer of Manon Production, is fine and alive. Now he is producing many videos.
