MEGA FANS EXPO (MFE), an upcoming adult expo in Hong Kong, was forced to cancel its scheduled events on November 13-15 due to multiple Japanese AV actresses being denied entry and sent back to Japan, leaving nearly 30 participating performers disappointed. More than 30 AV actresses such as Aoi Hikō, Mikoto Ari, Akiho Nakayama, and Maasaki Fuyuko suffered this fate and shared their experiences on social media. The organizers have expressed their regret and stated they will provide refund arrangements through official channels. Meanwhile, it was reported that Kkday, the official ticketing platform, would also offer full refunds to customers due to the performers' travel issues.
The canceled event was scheduled to feature around 30 AV actresses as special guests, including popular names like Ayako Aoi, Miku Ari, Akiho Nakayama, Yukino Yatsumi, Shiomi Kiyo, Akane Goto, Haruna Mune, Kikunoki Yuki, Kōka Kaoru, Saori Hara, Sakura Satsuki, Riho Nagare, Yumeko Nagumo, Hotaru Saitō, Narihiko Nanamori, Yume Nishimori, Annmi, Satoko Ishihara, Maaya Mian, MIAMO, Erika Nikko, Lilie, Hai Naoi, Yumi Miayo, Kiyoko Yakumo, and Shinobu Okazaki. Wave actress Miyoko Kadokami expressed her regret and disappointment on social media, stating her first encounter with such an issue. She mentioned being in Hong Kong and having to return home, which meant she couldn't fulfill her responsibilities as an MC at this long-awaited overseas event. Her fans in Hong Kong and at the airport were also left unbeknownst to her.
Another performer, Aoi Hikō, used her social media platform to deliver the disappointing news: "Unfortunately, there is a problem. Everyone is returning to Japan." This news sent ripples through the community, especially among fans who were eagerly awaiting the event. Palace actress Aoi Hikō expressed her disappointment in being unable to participate in the event. Meanwhile, popular performer Erika Nikko wrote on social media that it seemed like the entire group would be forcibly deported. The event, which had been fully booked according to the official ticketing platform Kkday, has now faced the cancellation, causing immense disappointment among attendees.
