What happens to Japanese porn stars after they retire?

TOKYO — The Japanese AV (adult video) industry, whose revenue comprised more than 20% of worldwide sales according to a 2006 survey, continues to grow every year. And with that growth comes an increasing number of young women who aspire to work in the industry.

But with so many girls taking a shot at being AV stars and entering into this seemingly glamorous but equally shady profession, how do they go about their daily lives unnoticed? And what becomes of AV stars who leave the industry?

In an interview with Atsuhiko Nakamura, author of books such as “The Nameless Women” and interviewer of literally hundreds of AV actresses, Shuplay News uncovered some startling facts about the sex industry in Japan, in particular the life of the women who become involved in making adult movies.

“Many girls enter the AV industry each year, but not necessarily all for the same reasons,” Nakamura comments. “Some do it entirely for the money, while others are just comfortable with the idea of having sex in front of people and see it as any easy job. It just works for them.”

The Japanese AV industry reportedly sees an astounding 6,000 newcomers each year. But surely the risk of being seen on a video would be enough to dissuade any self-respecting young woman from doing such a thing?

“With the huge number of girls working in the industry, cases of AV actresses being recognised while going about their daily lives are quite rare,” says Nakamura, adding “there are plenty of cases of former AV girls who are now happily married and enjoying normal lives.”

In many cases, girls do a short spell making XXX videos, and then, perhaps having earned enough to support themselves financially, or simply deciding that they have had enough, choose to leave and pursue a more orthodox lifestyle. After all, few people actively working in the porn industry are seen out shopping with their kids or taking part in PTA meetings without those around them raising a few eyebrows.

But it is here that many retired AV models hit a wall, says Nakamura, describing what he calls the “AV-no” (literally Adult Video brain”); the “AV Mindset” that many girls find themselves unable to shake off.

“A lot of girls find themselves unable to return to regular jobs after working as an AV model,” explains Nakamura. “They have worked in an often lucrative business, some for many years, so to go back to a standard job for a much smaller salary is not easy. Around two thirds of retired AV models end up in the sex industry, working in hostess bars or even working as prostitutes in ‘soap-land’ bath houses.”

It would seem that, of those thousands of girls initially seeking an easy, well-paid life as a porn-star, literally thousands of them become trapped in the sex industry afterwards.

The “AV Mindset” that Nakamura speaks of has two distinct sides to it; while there are some retired AV models who lack the skills required to work in regular jobs, and who find themselves in the strange position of feeling more comfortable in environments like hostess bars, there are also women who, despite wanting to stop making sex tapes, are unwilling to return to an everyday lifestyle and lose all the trappings and relative glamour that came from their wealthy AV lifestyle.

Nakamura compares this way of thinking to writers who, at the peak of their game being paid hundreds of dollars for articles, suddenly have the rug pulled out from under them and are forced to work for just $20 or $30 per piece.

“Some writers refuse to do it out of pride or shock. Some, on the other hand, simply can’t afford to go back to that and look for more lucrative work elsewhere.”

Just over two years ago, former AKB48 idol Rina Nakanishi was reported to have become an AV model after her sudden departure from the popular group. While some suggested that, with such a huge existing fan-base, she would see incredible success, others - perhaps more reasonably - argued that, once the novelty of seeing a former pop star perform sexual acts had worn off, Nakanishi would be left out in the cold, disgraced and jobless.

The Japanese sex industry may well be one of the biggest in the world, but it’s clearly very dangerous ground to play in.

Stay in school, boys and girls.

Japan Sees Surge in Aspiring Adult Film Actresses Over Decade, “6000 Girls Debut Every Year”

love_loathing_sub4image128_450.jpg


The Japanese sex film, or adult video (AV), industry is big business. It’s said that around 20,000 videos are released annually and some Japanese AV actresses have achievedcelebrity status even outside of Japan.

And it’s not just demand for Japanese skin flicks that’s thriving.


According to nonfiction writer Atsuhiko Nakamura, who has published several books based on interviews with AV actresses, the number of Japanese women seeking work in the adult video industry has increased dramatically over the past decade, with some 6000 girls making their debut every year.


Atsuhiko Nakamura has interviewed over 500 AV actresses and made headlines in Japan for casting light on the dark side of the AV industry with his bestselling book, “Namae no nai Onna-tachi” (“The Nameless Women”).


“Actresses come and go every day and it’s likely that there are about that many [6000] women in the industry at all times,” explained Nakamura during a recent investigative television program.


“Until the late-90s, a lot of people said they wouldn’t appear in an AV even if they were paid ten million yen (about US $128,000), but that rapidly changed over the decade and now normal girls are rushing for a chance to make it into any kind of production.”


While there were always spots open for amateurs in the 90s, now it’s said only 15 out of 100 aspiring actresses can get a role and the rest are turned away at the door. It’s just like applying for a part-time job at a convenience store.


While the adult video industry is known for being recession-proof, Nakamura points out that not all applicants are in it for the money: “One girl had been working for a major bank for one or two years and had begun to feel unsure if it was the right career choice for her. She likes sex and realized she could be an AV actress, and told me she was really happy with her career change.”


And, despite the nature of the work, a strong academic or educational background is valued by producers when trying to sift through so many applicants. “Girls from top-tier colleges are often chosen over those who have a weak academic background,” spoke Nakamura. “Those with credentials and a job are also more likely to make the cut, especially teachers and nurses.


Wait…so you mean those are actually REAL nurses in Giant-Breasted Nurse Hell 2!?!? (Actual title)


“Most amateur contracts stipulate a set compensation rate for three videos, two pair and one solo. The rates range from 150,000 ($1917) to 200,000 yen ($2556), 250,000 ($3195) and 300,000 yen ($3834), depending on the applicant’s experience and background.”


However, it seems the 150,000 yen rate makes up 60-70% of contracts and recently, some girls are told that due to low demand they’re only needed for one video and can only be paid half the normal rate, leaving them with a take-home of less than 30,000 yen ($383).


If you’re interested in getting a closer look at the AV industry, “Namae no nai Onnna-tachi” was recently made into a film with the English title “Love & Loathing & Lulu & Ayano.” Check the trailer below:

“A lot of girls find themselves unable to return to regular jobs after working as an AV model,” explains Nakamura.

After making love to a black and decker drill/hammer, i suppose nothing else can come close in comparison.

That is what happen when people go for short cut to wealth.

You want money, then do it the down to earth way.

Learn the way of business , then set something up to serve the society. simple as that but people make it difficult.

Just like sinkie want rights and just go to the streets in masses to demand for it, but sinkie make it looks so difficult. losers..

That is not a lot of money and they wasted their life away for such small amount. That is not worth it at all.

I always wonder in these times, with many women still being forced into sex in some countries, we have equally many women willingly selling their bodies. Yet men are still being bashed for being the "weak" species for paying for sex.

It would be interesting to really hear what these ex prostitutes have to say.

The Jap AV industry is not kind to it's female artistes. it frequently treats them as assets, to be used and abused.

However, there are some who have emerged to be quite famous and recognised for roles outside of the AV industry. Ai Ijima (before she passed away hor) was one such woman.

But sadly, in Japan, women are usually in the follower roles.. taking their lead from the males in the business. Not so in USA, as some seasoned veterans of the porn industry there turn to directing and other means in the entertainment industry to earn a living.

But, one never really hears of a female director in Japan.. it jus never happens. Maybe not yet.. maybe never. But there are some who break away and are hailed as actors.. esp in Taiwan, HK and even China. Sora Aoi comes to mind, as she is preparing to embark on an acting career in China.. where she is very well received.

In fact, over the years many JAP av stars have been going to HK, Taiwan and China to "plow" money. As they know that there are audiences over there who can't seem to get enough of them.

Having a good sense of what you want to do, is probably what most of these AV artistes need to have. They need to understand that (both male ane female) can't possibly perform into their old age.. (usually females past 40 will start to look haggard.. but always the case).. not all male performers can be bonking and humping into their 50s and 60s (altho got old jap man who is white haired and do creampie wif young gals.. heard he also retire liao).

If you know you got fan base in overseas, better milk them for what it's worth la. Before someone else takes your place as flavour of the month.

And.. using AV to be a platform to go into mainstream acting can be considered.. but if you got no acting talent.. also cham.

Well, we shall see how many more famous JAV stars go to HK and Taiwan for the expos (i wish i can go to one of those sometimes).. and hope one of my favs will be there when I can really go .
