Speaking as myself... no one actually said what it's worth. The asking price for a studio (we don't know which one) was 90 million yens. The asking price for an agency (again we don't know which) is about 180 mils. There's no way to know if the studio was worth 90, and no idea if the agency is worth 180.
The comments below the report actually involved some non-BS discussion and calculation. But I m too lazy to translate it.
With capital investment I think I am looking for ROI of 5 to 15%, so for 180 mil investment, I expect 27 million yens net income per year. For 3 active idols thats 9 million yens net income each (on average). Or 750k yens per idol per month. But that's net. Gross income must be at least 1.5 mil yens per idol per month. That sounds totally unrealistic.
Consider one more factor that I can write out later... I figure the asking price wasn't just inflated by 2, I would be cautious even if asking price were only 18 million yens.
I've read the actual article and have done some currency conversion to USD for simplicity sake. The asking price for the agency is about USD 1.5 Million. Which sounds like a load of bull.
Not a surprise for me, she never get exclusive contract, she did much less vids than Aika, Hibiki Otsuki
Same thing might happen if Honoka Orihara, Aimi Yoshikawa retirement without big income from other work
Have you seen the amount of releases, both censored and uncensored, she push out during her prime ? She even did anal and DP which suggest she is getting paid quite a bit.
Interesting. I have always thought that it would be a great idea for super wealthy people to invest in JAV as perhaps more of a hobby. Since JAV and porn in general suffers from lack of sales in many cases it would be cool if it could be supported by individuals that are interested in producing movies they like. I mean If I ever start making enough money this is something I would certainly do. I would invest in studios that would create the type of movies I like.
That is if you are feeling generous. Like shelling out something like at least 20K with no expectation of getting returns.
