    What happen to Maxing studio ?

    Most AV stars don't last too long in the business. It's possible they are only contracted for x number of titles, but it's more likely they just had enough of the industry and move on with their lives.

    Western Porn Bringing JAV to Mind, and How Well They Succeed

    Sorry to go off tangent, but if you like SILK LABO's output paparoach408, then check out La Coviluna and also Girl's Channel by SOD. The latter often recuts regular AV titles for a female audience.

    Haruki Satou's retirement?

    You'll probably see titles with Ai Uehara and Ayu Sakurai (both retiring soon) that have new footage coming out till the year's end. And yea, more compilation titles than ever before are being released because studios still want to keep their output high, but are unable to keep it all new...

    I'm so curious about fan appreciation

    99% of the time they're fake. The actors may be newer ones who still haven't had much industry exposure and the apartments may be actual people's apartments that are rented out for the shoot.

    You should think it over. I saw how you timed the subtitles to match exactly with the text on screen with no screen-bleed. I don't think the other Akiba subtitlers are at that level yet (and my apologies if I'm wrong).

    This is really good quality subtitling. You should offer your services in the sticky thread.

    MIDE-312 starring Akiyama Shouko

    kharo88: that' s just a compilation title. MOODYZ milks the filming of the BakoBako series as much as possible by simultaneously filming as many other titles as they can. What happens lately is you'll get the main BakoBako release, a 'reverse/secret' version, and now other themes as well...

    JAV that has been cancelled or pulled out from the market ?

    Kharo88: I just noticed this now and had to squint at the box cover, but the 'reworked' version is just the rental version. It says so in English on the bottom of the jacket spine.

    Just a question: Do AV actresses pay taxes?

    Yes, they pay taxes...or legally should be. Most likely the agency each actress belongs to takes care of it just like they do for all their other needs.

    Setting a JAV Company in Japan. Possible?

    Studios like Prestige also are their own agencies so the steps to get an actress on board for a title are really simplified. If you're a small independent studio who wants to cast a huge name (assuming she's not on an exclusive contract), it's an uphill battle and you better have a big wallet...

    Idols That You Try To Get Into But Can't

    pararoach408: At least in the states, porn seemed to start with actual full blown movies (think Deepthroat and Debbie Does Dallas and maybe even Caligula) that just happened to have actual hardcore sex. What counted as obscenity back then and now is way different so studios in the 70's and...

    Setting a JAV Company in Japan. Possible?

    Depends on whether the director is freelance or actually works for the studio. If the latter, it's more of a group effort. They may have a certain actress in mind or if not, they may contact an agency they work with and explain the type of movie and the agency can then provide model info for...

    Why aren't there more storylines in Uncensored JAV?

    Since most uncensored is produced by companies headquartered in USA, you don't often find titles with more dramatic themes like incest and r*** since credit card companies in the states forbid it. Of course if the language isn't English they can get away with more, but there's still a limit to...

    Difference between Caribbeancom and Caribbeancompr

    Idols That You Try To Get Into But Can't

    I'll bite: Hibiki Otsuki. As she's progressed in her career, she comes off more and more as an android trying to emulate a Japanese AV star. I don't mean this with her physical appearance (she's very pretty and has a unique look!), but her mannerisms and how she speaks.

    Actually, I realized I only experience the slow-page loading issue when I am logged in to A-O. I tried in both Firefox and Chrome and when logged out or using a private tab, the site loads quickly. It's really strange and no other BBS has this issue with me. The pages usually hang for 20-30...

    natsuxdragon: Your pay scale is way off. AV agencies take a MASSIVE cut of the pay the actress receives for each film role. Hollywood agents would be frothing at the mouth in jealousy if they knew what % it is. Also $5000+ USD is possible (before agency cuts) for starring roles. So yes...
