Would certainly be Happy to get multiple links or even names of/to "jav stuff" in which (shaved!!) actresses l00k under 18 ...even after their school uniforms etc "outer teen-ness" has been removed! Thanks! Just to prove myself being wrong in this issue, for sure having no other motives whatsoever...

Guys, first of all this is a bit of storm in a teacup, my best guess is TPP will never come to realization (not gonna to explain my POV here) anyway at best TPP will take 15+ years to negotiate and rectify. This whole transpacific pornographic intercourse is totally premature, ahem...
Anyway... we can learn something from trends in Europorn. I lived in Europe for a few years and have been watching Europorn for a long time. What happened was that in last 10 years, Europorn was being Americanized. BTW that had nothing to do with any trade agreement, it's just due to availability of multi-region DVD players.
Also some US porn has also picked up some Europorn's character so now it's not always easy to tell apart if a particular vid is Euro or US.
So if somehow there's a major increase in US-Japan trade, there's a very real possibility JAV will become Americanized. That's something that may be worrying.
Apart from child porn (perceived or real), there are other JAV theme that will be very difficult to swallow (ahem) in US. r*** (pretended) or torture theme JAV will face legal, communal standard (pressure groups) and market resistance. Personally I watch/enjoy some of them, but IMHO its really overused and reflect some pathology in Japanese manhood. It's a fine line between kink and sick. JAV isn't going to get a lot of US business unless they tone down the "sick" (which is quite subjective). Personally I am a bit worried about this, for now I can be my own judge and give a pass to the "sick" stuff but what if JAV makers, in order to please the US market, stop making the "kink" stuffs too?
As for mosaic, actually increase in trade might be good. Firstly, it's quite possible each country can maintain there respective moral standard: US porn can add mosaic when exported to Japan (which happens already) and JAV can un-add the mosaic when export to US (Western audience falls asleep when they can't see the genitals). Well that would be the best I think. If Japan lift the mosaic law, I'm afraid JAV makers will make too many close up of the genitals and change the style that we are used and enjoy. Whereas if they keep making JAV with mosaic for their domestic market, but export the non-mosaic version to US and we here in Akiba can pick up and share the version, isn't that the best of both worlds? But that's probably just wishful thinking.
Anyway my bet is that nothing is going to change for many years to come...

Lol I don't think the US market will tolerate mosaics - no matter how loli the girls are. Its not like they can't get young looking girls on their side already without censors. After all, the US has the Barely Legal series while Europe has Met-Art.
Now gravure...that is a different matter altogether. There is a market for erotic non-nude works over there, and gravure fits the niche just fine.

The TPP would be horrible for JAV (and everything else as well). I'm thankful the US has pulled out.
I fully agree....
if JAV is exported around the world without the mosaic, it would be world beating
US porn seems to have some good stuff, but a lot of really bad stuff that is a real turn off
JAV movies, produced for sales in Japan at Japanese porn makers/studios are all censored
/with mosaic on genitals/, according to strict Japanese Law, Article 175 of Japanese
Criminal Code, which makes illegal to publish or sell uncensored porn content,
with exposed genitals. Therefore in all adult videos, movies, pictures, manga etc.
genitals must be censored /pixelated/.
Surprizingly, Japanese Adult /porn/ Movies, being censored, are very competitive amongst
porn consumers in whole world. I have been (and am) member of numerous incest forums -
and in every forum the category - Japanese Incest Movies - was/is very popular.
Thousands of forum members are waiting for new releases of Japanese (censored) porn movies.
Japanese makers/studios make porn movies mainly for Japanese own customers,
which could easily be tens of millions, mostly men. And - following latest developments
in decreasing/closing free access to interested people from whole world to Japanese big
portals like FANZA, DMM.com, SOKMIL.com - they are not interested about foreigners
free/paid access to Japanese porn movies at all.
About uncensored videos - with Japanese women starring without any censorship.
Videos, produced in studios, registered abroads which are non-Japanese -
(p.e. Caribbean, pacopacomama, 1Pondo, HEYZO and others) are uncensored.
However, those uncensored videos, as items (DVD), could not be officially sold in Japan
in porn shops, (customers could download them only as original video files via online
payment to those non-Japanese makers/studios).
