Most actresses don't have sex on the side, but sometimes some do delivery work. I don't have a comprehensive list but you can find brothel listings at sites like http://asageifuzoku.com/ and the sometimes list AV stars. The one-and-done DANDY girls are usually kikaku models whose goal is to...

They wouldn't be posted to a non-Japanese site because most studios here concentrate mainly on Japan. That'd be shooting oneself in the foot to make an extra buck and become an industry outcast at the same time. I don't know if anyone who works on these titles takes home raw movies to jerk off...

Pretty much all studios keep copies of the original master tapes. Whether they store it at their office or somewhere else is anyone's guess. What I doubt is some high security super encrypted (both physically and with software) method needed to get them. The offices for the studios I've seen...

The movie (JUX-746) was probably pulled for some reason. Possibly the model backed out or some other reason like that. Were you refunded for your purchase (assuming you paid to download for life instead of streaming for x days)? If so, then please stop complaining. R18 (the user on A-O) does...

sideloaded: R18/DMM probably does not want to bother with juggling more formats than they do already hence the decision to go DRM for all titles regardless of studio. They're a market decider compared to smaller (but still big) sites like DUGA so economies of scale are on their side. When...

sideloaded: DMM's parent company own many big studios, but nowhere near all of them. Maybe you can consider 25% of the market in their hands DUGA does have DRM-free movies, but not all the movies are DRM-free. In fact, most large studios require DRM even at DUGA. I agree it's pointless when...

Uncensored porn and I assume you mean the modern stuff produced by sites like http://caribbeancom.com/ = shot in Japan (legal), transmitted/shipped to a different country (gray area/illegal), edited and sold on non-Japanese servers (legal). It's a legal loophole and it's only illegal to carry...

SUGOI KATAKONA TERU = (in romaji) sugoi katakunatteru You're becoming/have become amazingly/super/wonderfully/etc hard. Katai = hard. katakunattieru is the proper way to denote a transition but the 'i' after the two t's is often dropped in casual speech.

robbus: You're getting super hard Pan pan = full.

Birsha's right. If you have a great idea and definitely want it made, get your idea professionally translated to Japanese and have someone deliver it to them. Hell, fly yourself out there and hire an interpreter. Also offer to foot part of the bill for production. This may all sound fanciful...

blah13 Most directors start at the bottom and work their way up. If you're in Japan and speak Japanese and have the appropriate visa, it's total possible to work at a studio doing grunt work before being given the chance to direct. Studios receive mail all the time from fans about ideas so a...

If we're talking modern AV, then yea it's real unless it's obviously fake (gigantic dick/balls movies).

Lordsuperjesus Sorry I didn't reply until now. Somehow this thread went under my radar. Yea, not all girls are geniuses. Some are total airheads, but then you've got your Hibiki Otsuki's who know how to push themselves and make serious bank.

If we're talking fastest encoders and not simply cropping out what we don't like and not adding in any filters, I'd recommend what we often use: DVDFab It's not free, but it's one of the few encoders I know of that has NVIDIA CUDA support built right in. This means if you're using a NVIDIA...

kharo88: The company that made at least two of the movies you linked to is right at this very moment working on an English paysite for their content. I'm pretty sure it will include tickling movies too.

Motiman: it varies studio by studio. I know the average amount % for what DMM pays out, but it's probably best not to say it since they don't advertise their rates publicly like western VOD porn sites do. Western sites are usually 20% goes to the studio if it's a PPM deal and 60-70% to the...

EroMura: sorry about missing your question. I saw this thread linked from a more recent one and landed back here. I'm not sure how much is actually a 'user request'. Most likely it's not much. Companies that deal in kikaku titles probably get emails all the time from fans so they may have...

Nurses were big last decade, but you're right in there have been less titles with them recently. They're probably just not as popular or were overdone. Give it some time and you may see them again.

Good to hear. There's a huge thread about them in the Pinned threads up top: https://www.akiba-online.com/threads/discussion-about-dmm-website.994490/

lordsuperyahweh: DMM's parent company owns a few dozen studios. For your second question check out the latest post at https://www.akiba-online.com/threads/setting-a-jav-company-in-japan-possible.1595023/page-2 Profit margins are a good question and it really varies from studio to studio and...

If she's releasing titles from various studios that truly are independent of each other, she may not have an exclusive contract. Exclusive contract is the equivalent of being a salaried full-time employee (seishiki shaiin): they trade a POSSIBLE slight reduction in monthly income for stability...

1. See 4. 2. Yea, managers also seem to act as a combination of babysitter and psychologist for these women. The incestuous relationship of AV companies like studios, agencies, ethics groups, and more can be a book onto itself. It's not all good, but it's also not all bad! Some of these...

Edit: for the paid staff, you would also have A makeup artist (1). Editing old threads are tricky here so place forgive the extra post.

My $10K figure came from a friend who directs for MOODYZ among other makers. Your breakdown is accurate for super high end productions such as for the studios DMM/CA owns. I don't recall hearing a separate fee for the b̶a̶b̶y̶s̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ manager. I believe studios simply pay the agency who...

Duke: can you show examples of any actress who consistently stars in over 20 titles a month every month by herself?

Supmop: correct. Exclusive means you're stuck with that label. One of the big pluses for a kikaku model is less exposure and no exclusive contract so she can work as much as she wants kind of under the radar. Consider those with exclusive contracts employees on salary and kikaku models to...

$7000 - 10000 is what I said for a major label big star production. You can half that number or more for titles with amateurs, titles by smaller studios, and those very frequent compilation videos that don't add any new content.

You guys are really off. Pretty much all the examples posted so far are of big AV stars with exclusive contracts. These contracts provide them a set amount of titles they can do a month. If you really want to find out who the hardest (in other words most days a month in a studio?) working...

R18.com: DUGA does it. :) I randomly clicked through a bunch of the movies on their top 100 page and it was about half and half with DRM and DRM-free formats.

Why do you use some ad-filled Chinese rip to advertise your service? CodeGeek: I think he means $10 to buy the subtitles for the movie he posted. Perhaps people can chip in a few dollars each and then when $10 is reached, the subtitle file can be shared on Akiba for all users? That's how it...

I'm pretty sure DMM knows the pros and cons of DRM, but the small vocal majority of this forum will not help change their ways (even though competitors like DXXX sell some movies DRM-free). I know of studios who have their own download stores on their official sites and many skip out on DRM for...

MINIMUM titles are really pushing it. Japan AV may seem like "anything goes", but there are some levels of lolita content that presses against the boundaries too much. This one seems to have gotten approval by one of the ethics companies, but it's possible it was rescinded or DMM (who owns...

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this though I'd imagine if an actress seriously wanted her title pulled, she'd have to pay up the production costs at the very least and possibly buy up the rights to the video (though I don't think it goes that far as many actresses aren't the brightest bulbs).

And do tens of thousands of AV fans in Japan and abroad use Google Cardboard? Is it worth it? Would a company spend thousands of dollars if not more on making a title for a medium that may not even pay off? VR porn is definitely an amazing idea, but the technology is still too new. I think...

EroMura: the prices you quoted for USA porn you can probably double for Japanese AV (the pay goes to to the agency which then pays the AV star after taking their cut). If you're dead serious about hiring a crew from an AV studio, send them an email in Japanese (have it translated...

Are there really that many people using VR right now? You gotta realize AV titles age super fast. If they make a title now, it'll be worthless a year or two from now and even if VR becomes popular, fans may not care for it. It'd be best to wait and see how popular virtual reality becomes and...

I work in the industry here in Japan and I'm a foreigner with PR. I think that covers all bases that you're concerned with. ;)

Supmop: if you're a non-Japanese guy who speaks near fluently, has good charisma, does not have any STDs, can get hard and perform without issue on an AV set, you can definitely find work as an actor in the AV industry.

Supmop: if you're a non-Asian guy who speaks near fluently, has good charisma, does not have any STDs, can get hard and perform without issue on an AV set, you can definitely find work as an actor in the AV industry. You haven't seen many foreign faces because most are missing strong...

He can always shoot movies in his home country, put mosaic on them, and then sell them to Japanese users. I don't offhand what DMM's bar to entry is, but sites like XCream and Infopot.jp and Gcolle.net seem to have a burgeoning amateur film market. It's totally possible to hire a crew to shoot...

japss: that's some random clip of uyoku. Seriously you can't assume a group consisting of many Zainichi Koreans can serve as an analogue for the bulk of the AV industry. In fact, why am I arguing about racism with a person whose username is 'japss'?

Your actress (well, her agency) gets the bulk of that. Are you imagining shooting a title with a really big name like Hitomi or Kirara Asuka? Figure at least $4,000 for the appearance fee alone and if you're a new studio with no connections, good look on getting someone as well known as that...

japss> 1987 wants its stereotype back. AV certainly is expensive, but Yakuza involvement is not as much as it used to be. Company here don't care about a person's race so long as they can communicate at a near native level. Loli> if freakishly big seriously means freakishly big, then you're...

I don't think it would be tough for a foreigner to become a random bukkake man provided you can speak Japanese very well and live where most AV is shot in Tokyo. The pay is zero or close to it so don't expect to make bank. It's possible to rise from the bukkake ranks into acting if you have...

Zen> Yakuza don't have much involvement in AV any more. There's still a few companies that have some suspicious connections, but it's not as common as you think. Also is the CV thing real because there are many companies here who would love foreign actors though many people always type about...

Once upon a time the sex didn't have to be real, but now with mosaic a lot thinner there's really no choice. I'm sure the amount MUTEKI paid was a lot if the actress you mentioned is that well known. The talent pool for good actresses is smaller than you think.

What other forum? ScanLover? I'll pass. I don't recall care either way about her (not saying I don't like her as an actress or personally, but I don't watch her movies).

It's pretty easy to start shooting AV here. The bar to entry is super low. As a foreigner, you'd have to have a work visa (possibly an investor visa though I don't know too much about them offhand) or a spouse visa or PR. You can do this all on your own of course or you can hire staff. I...

JonKurak> If you have that much faith, then have your 'script' translated professionally somewhere and send it to your favorite company. It'll probably be disregarded though. ;) BTW, nice site in your sig. I think this is the first time I've seen someone pushing R18's affiliate program.
