Hanazawa made her pink film debut in Shinji Imaoka's Lunch Box (March 2004), which was selected as Best Film at the 2004 Pink Grand Prix.{{cite web |last=Toda|first=Miho|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080213075036/http://www.walkerplus.com/movie/report/report3435.html| archivedate=2008-02-13 |url=http://www.walkerplus.com/movie/report/report3435.html|title="Pink Prize": What Should Be Called the Academy Awards of the Pink Film World: Sora Aoi, Yumika Hayashi Among Those Present, Close Coverage of this Yearly Festival (ピンク映画界のアカデミー賞というべき"ピンク大賞"蒼井そら、林由美香らが来場する、年に一度の祭典に密着！ - Pinku eigakai no akademii sho to iubeki "Pinku taisho" Aoi Sora, Hayashi Yumikaraga raijosuru, toshi ni ichido no saiten ni mitchaku)|date=2004-05-06|accessdate= 2009-08-13 |publisher= www.walkerplus.com|language=Japanese|quote=作品部門第１位の「熟女・発情　タマしゃぶり」がデビュー作という華沢レモンは、その後たて続けに20本もの作品に出演したという、ピンク映画界期待の新進女優。}} In the film, Hanazawa plays the role of one of star Yumika Hayashi's co-workers and sexual rivals. Her performance in this film earned her a "Best New Actress" award at the 2004 Pink Grand Prix, beating popular AV idol Sora Aoi, who had also made her pink film debut that year.{{cite book |last=Sharp|first=Jasper|title=Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema|year=2008|publisher=FAB Press|location=Guildford|isbn=978-1-903254-54-7|page=324}} During 2004 Hanazawa performed in 20 of these theatrical pink film releases. Her performance in Akira Katō's Teacher with Beautiful Skin: Big Tit Vibe-Torture (2005), earned her the Best Actress, 2nd place award at the 2005 Pink Grand Prix ceremony.

In his book Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema, Jasper Sharp uses one of Hanazawa's scenes in Yutaka Ikejima's Family Gets Rude Chapter 1: Perverts' Fun (2004) to illustrate the creative means pink film directors employ to suggest more than is legally possible in Japanese softcore pornography. Hanazawa masturbates in a scene that Sharp characterizes as "pretty lewd", yet she is seen only in soft focus in the background. The foreground focus of the camera is a bouquet of flowers, behind which the masturbating Hanazawa moans, "Look at my flower!"Sharp, p. 339.

Besides Imaoka and Ikejima, other major pink film directors in whose films Hanazawa has appeared include Toshiki Satō (Tokyo Booty Nights, 2004), Tetsuya Takehora (Peep Show, 2004), Yumi Yoshiyuki, Sachi Hamano, and Yoshikazu Katō. Katō's Molester's Train: Sensitive Fingers (2007) gave Hanazawa a second appearance in a Pink Grand Prix Best Film-winner.{{cite web|url=http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~p-g/award/2007.htm|title=Best Ten of 2007 (２００７年度ベストテン)|accessdate=January 18, 2009|publisher=P.G.

Hanazawa also appeared with Kyōko Kazama, Akiho Yoshizawa and Mihiro in the Edo period historical costume drama, The Inner Palace: Indecent War, in July 2006. A sequel The Inner Palace: Flower of War came out in August of the same year. The two videos were released by AV studio Max-A in hardcore versions under their DoraMax label and also shorter softcore R-15 rated versions for the Pure Max label.{{cite web|url=http://xxx.xcity.jp/avod/detail/?id=16913|title=The Inner Palace - Indecent War|publisher= AV Idol Directory|accessdate=2010-10-25}}{{cite web|url=http://xxx.xcity.jp/release/detail/?id=16929|title=The Inner Palace - Indecent War (R-15)|publisher= AV Idol Directory|accessdate=2010-10-25}}{{cite web|url=http://osamukun.blog28.fc2.com/blog-entry-431.html|script-title=ja:映画を超えたアダルトビデオ|publisher= osamukun.blog28.fc2.com|accessdate=2009-05-30|language=Japanese}}

In February 2008, Hanazawa had a supporting role in the mainstream horror film Rika: The Zombie Killer starring Risa Kudō.{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185390/|title=Rika: The Zombie Killer|publisher= IMDb|accessdate=2013-07-22}} The movie, described by one reviewer as an "outrageously silly film",{{cite web|url=http://soresportmovies.blogspot.com/2012/10/rika-zombie-killer-2008-horror-zombie.html|title=Rika: The Zombie Killer (2008) Horror Zombie|publisher= Soresport Movies|accessdate=2013-07-22}} was released on DVD with English subtitles in September 2009.{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Hunter-Rika-Mina-Arai/dp/B002FOQY5E|title=Zombie Hunter Rika (2008)|website=Amazon |accessdate=2013-07-22}} Hanazawa was one of several colleagues and friends who appeared in Korean-Japanese director Tetsuaki Matsue's 2009 documentary on Yumika Hayashi, {{nihongo|Annyeong Yumika|あんにょん由美香|An nyon Yumika}}.
