Hard to be a Japanese porn actress

Japan’s porn industry is reeling. Low-cost amateur adult video (AV) actresses are being employed on weekends, revenue is suffering, and salaries for pro gals are way down.

“It goes without saying that one’s popularity determines income level,” says AV writer Tetsuo Kokko. “An actress who belongs to any particular label will usually have one job a month, which means working maybe two or three days to shoot a film. These days, it is hard to find any girl whose income exceeds one million yen a month.”

“These films may lead to an annual income exceeding 100 million yen a year,” the writer continues. “Shooting usually lasts only a day so this is the optimal way to earn money. However, the hours are longer and the content usually demands that the performance be at a higher level.

“It consumes one’s energy,” Kokko continues, “and you usually see only one or two actresses per year who can manage this sort of schedule.”

Becoming a theater performer or TV personality was once a common goal, but that is not the case any longer either. “The television and film industries are very conservative,” Kokko says.

Must have seen the wrong vids, because 95% of the time the female participants in scenes just lay there with a look of "why am I doing this, I don't want to do this" on their face
:scared: A bit like this here.

Could it be that the rare 5% that actually seems to enjoy the act of having sex is this "higher level performance" ?

Yeah man I agree with bloodfermon. There are a lot of starfish and dead logs lately. Unfortunately this means a lot will start to retire. No!!!!

actually i believe in most cases that *look* of being a dead *log* on a bed gettin *(looked like a) r**** is actually part of their "performance" :tea:

and that's probably how the directors want it to be, well probably unless maybe the woman in question really is amateur to honest sense but hell i've seen several pro actresses' piece with the label "amateur" on their title

that reminds me キヨミジュン :joker: look at her earlier video *XV-565* where she really looked like a clueless log on a bed and the later one *TRD-071* where she IS the boss of the scene ROFL :pandalaugh::pandalaugh: (and she screams alot & very loud too which i found kinda annoying.. but she's definetly gaining weight after that earlier title :exhausted: probably the result of that *one freakin million yen salary a month*)

Yeah, well, we're talking $12k USD per month to have sex. Of course it's hard money for the girl because she has to take load after load and appear to enjoy it. And what about the labels like Tokyo Hot? These girls have to take it WITHOUT protection. $12k is commensurate with the risk and the level of energy required. I don't feel sorry for 'em. ;-)

Seems like every time I become a fan of a JAV girl now a days they quit after like 5-13 movies in a span of like 1-3 years. Even those "almost random numbers" are probably an exaggeration with how few girls do now a days.

I wonder how much the "amateur porn girls" that make a career out of it and appear in lots of "amateur" series make. There used to be threads of "Hah, look, she's from xxxx!" or "Wow, she was in <insert random softcore porn with plot>!" on bbspink and the like.

Also have lots of gravure's/porn girls that did the "amateur" type of movies, and a few that did stuff like soaplands and image clubs.

There's a lot left unanswered/explained with this story for sure though..
