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.
