Kawashima's debut video was Promise released under Sexia's Try Heart label in December 1998. In January 1999, Kawashima starred in Naive, for the Shy label. Her next video for Sexia, I Want To Hold You (February 1999), was a sex-oriented drama. She was back at Shy for the April 1999 release, Natural. This video was judged a well-acted drama with great sex scenes, involving gangsters and an assassination plot.
Kawashima followed popular AV idol Haruki Mizuno in Sexia's Pretty Wife series. Kawashima's entry, the seventh in the series, was subtitled Dangerous Love Triangle and released in May of 1999. She played the role of a woman who is the victim of her wicked mother-in-law. Hoping to save her son from what she believes to be his wife's demoralizing influence, the mother hires two men to rape her. She hopes that if her son witnesses his wife having sex with other men, he will then divorce her. Instead, the entire group join up to scold the mother for being too controlling. The video ends with the mother awakening, discovering it's all been a dream, and taking it as a message to leave her son's house.
