Ai shinozaki AV is my biggest dream, but I think it's impossible, not even offering dozen of money she accepts. I imagine she already wins much money.

Buying properties is one of the safest and most rewarding investment, so it would be wise for av idols to do that. once they retire, their income will significantly decrease and can't afford to party and shop luxuriously anymore.

Except that many many Japanese are still financially underwater from the 2000s property bubble, almost 20 years already.

I have a friend who's a university professor not far from Tokyo. He's (by now) in his 50s and his mortgage is until something like 2080. I really have no idea what will happen on the day he retires. I don't know for sure, because it's un-Japanese to speak about one's troubles to a friend (esp. a younger foreigner, me). If I have to guess, declare bankruptcy and live on the street. There are at least a million homes in similar crisis/timebomb.

Buying a Tokyo apartment from one's JAV income is one of the most un-wise things to do. Probably worse than buying an expensive car or things you don't need.

Anyway... this discussion about JAV idol's financial management originally came out of some good bits of gossips, but also it's gone off to total speculation. Which is ok, up to a point. I feel like AV idol's income and financial management should be a sticky topic on its own. There's always interest in it. Frankly I'm fascinated by it too. But I hope to sheppard this thread to not stray too far from gossips of the day/week.

There are cheaper ones and they don't need to always buy their properties in Tokyo especially if they don't want to work there anymore. Some prefer to stay off the grid. Real estate investment can be a real gamble to get rich. The 100 years mortgage really sucks in Japan especially when you're just paying interests for next 30 years without gaining equity. People might not even live that long, but the bank continues to collect interests and there are chances you might still owe money if you resell it during bad times. Anyway, the salary of top av actresses could easily be 5-10x of what an average professor makes in 1 year, so I don't see the problem there. It sucks for the unpopular ones.

The Yamaguchi sisters who are the pioneers that kick start mainstream-idol-to-AV trend was spotted working at a small cabaret joint as hostresses for some reasons in 2015

Even big names can still fall on hard times after retirement. Money don't last forever without careful managment.

You're both right in terms of 'exclusive != retirement'. I wrote without thinking it through in regards to that. Sorry!
Gods! Don't apologize!

This is a forum about sex vids and fapping. What kind of place it becomes if we all have to apologize for speaking carelessly.

Relax, dude!

Arr...Shuri Atomi going on a hiatus? If there's one AV girl I would like to dump my genetic material in, it would be her. As it is, too much of it already has gone down the drainpipe because of her...
She posted on Twitter that she just finished shooting a scene with Shiina Sora today. She says something along the lines of "One more scene it is!" And another post referring to the same scene with sora saying "I want to exceed one last time".

She will also be having a talk event on 8/5. It hurts my gut but I think she is ending her hiatus status and announcing her retirement on this day. Such a sad time. I could be wrong of course. I just translated everything from google translate on her twitter. Does anyone have any information on her?

There was no proof they where working there, it's believed that they where making an appearance, but besides that we haven't heard anything from them besides one of them being married and having a baby

Except that the now long deleted facebook postings (along with their photos) don't refer to them as guests :-

You can see Riku besides Riko in the following, so you can't deny you have not heard about both of them :-

I remember that time, and didn't hear anything else after that about them working there

One report had Riko working under the name of "Lily". So it is assume that at least somebody called the cabaret up.

The wording of the deleted posts is another indicator with phrases like "5 staff working" and "all star 8" in reference to the photos. If they sisters are just making an appearance, why don't they just get to the point with names and all ?

And there is the fact that the cabaret deleted the photos after news emerge. What are they trying to hide ?

And of course the most conculsive evidence is that everybody on that cesspool known as 2ch is in agreement that the sisters are working there. Nobody contradict each other.

"When a porn actor goes "Oh~ I'm cumming" 80% of the time he's telling the cameraman "Get the camera into position cause the money shot is happening in 15 seconds

"When a porn actress goes "He getting real big ! He's getting real hard inside !" 80% of the time she's telling the rest of the staff "It's fine, this guy still has it in him to go. Don't worry"

Not sure he is serious. But I will not rule out that there some small gesture that meant something during filming.

What about the fake semen in creampies and multiple squirtings. Sometimes even the facial are staged. Not as obvious in censored av. In western porn the guy either can't hold it and make the girl kneel or he ends it early with a camera cut to the moment he cums. Not a fan of the pov crotch shot and camera shutter sound in between and sometimes the cameraman doesn't stop talking.

2017-7-21: Famous Agency for sale? Asking price is...

How interesting, we have had both regular studio and uncensored studio come knocking on our door to inquire if WE might be interested to acquire them. [let me emphasize once again, I am translating from reports from a Taiwanese-owned, Japan-based company which operate booking service for AV idols. ]

Those are pretty unusual propositions each on its own. But the timing hints that it's not just coincidence. Now we heard a third similar inquiry: a famous agency is contacting us about a possible sale.

Well, I have to say, we are a bit excited that established industry players have us on their mind with such proposals.

So what can I tell you about this agency... It's not a major company. Their top idol had come to Taiwan last year for an event (but not booked by us). They currently manage 3 idols who are each a contract girl with different studios.

When the studio [I assume he means the regular censored studio] approached us, the asking price was 90 million yens. So we were expecting an agency to be worth about the same. But the agency was asking for twice that! That's a lot higher than we expected.

The agency says they [meaning the business or the boss' physical health?] are in fine condition. The boss is only considering retirement because the workload is heavy. If a prospective buying is really interesting, a bargain can be negotiated.

Is an agency really worth more than a studio? Or has Yen exchange rate gone down a cliff? [This last question makes no sense to me]

Despite the high asking price, we intend to have a sit-down negotiation. Also, this is a crack in the belief that foreigners can't enter the industry. I know about two agencies which had recieved Chinese [he means ethnic Chinese, not necessarily national Chinese] capital investment. Yet another agency has been in final negotiations with a Hong Kong investor.

So what's behind all the movement? Is there a race to the exits by the established players? Are [ethnic] Chinese finally breaking into the industry? Is there a shortage of capital?

If there's any progress or new gossips as we go forward, I will report in here, stay tuned.

ding73ding: I know of at least one smaller studio having some titles bankrolled by a Chinese investor (not sure if he was a mainlander or not) so it's not the first time foreign companies bankrolling Japanese AV.

Seems that the boss of this agency is trying to pull a fast one by selling his company for USD 1.5 million when it's actual worth only half of that. Perhaps he is feeling the heat with the current scandal and want a quick exit.

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.

Here is an admission from a former talent, Kohaku Uta :-

https://mobile.twitter.com/UK19920214/status/852464702902779904

The money she had earn is all gone. Considering what she had done in her career, that is surprising. Last I heard, she is working on and off at Red Dragon.

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

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.
