And also a basic, sterile and netural one for those who have no in depth knowledge about the industry. The interviewer did not ask her about the whole coercion fiasco, the newly implemented 5 year rule, AV going international and where she stands amongst everything. That will give us more in depth about her thoughts.
Possibly. But the way the interview is presented, everything is all too smooth going and gives a feeling is all scripted.
Well we all know the kind of fans you are, so unless she pulls out a jar of pickled fetus and declare it the result of gang r*** by studio bosses, I doubt you will be satisfied.
jwlim80: I don't believe it was his intention to do an in-depth tell-all. It still remains to be seen just how this '5 year rule' will be implemented. There is a lot of self-regulation in JAV, sure, but it's not iron-clad, and asking an actress who already retired about these events may not be ideal.
There also seems to be a lot of armchair psychologists in this thread critiquing her body language (or lack of it).
It's a nice interview. It went a bit beyond what you usually see for JAV star interviews and it was nice to watch. The end.
People have a fanatic worship of journalism. As if journalist will free us from the world of lies. I've never heard of Asian Boss, I'll just assume it's a small time youtube channel, half hobby, half a little small business venture (I'd guess initial investment in the range of a thousand USD)
Emiri Okazaki is a private citizen, and active entrepreneur with her own cosmetic company (which unfortunately could mean anything between a boss of a big business to a mid-rank agent in a pyramid scheme). Anyway between those two extremes her own fortune depends on establishing and protecting her external image. No one buys cosmetic from a woman who has rows of needle marks on her forearms and claim her life was ruined by porn or yakuza or alcohol or drugs.
Why would she agree to an interview? One, because Asian Boss is small time, I think she receive payment for her time. It's fair and legit, but it's a factor. Two, she agrees to interview only if the result is at the very least neutral, but more likely positive for her. She wants to get more job offers, more customers for her products and more customers to the hostess bar asking for her service. She has all these things going for her, would she say stuffs that hurt her personal image?
So what do people expect as "in-depth tell-all"? she already told very private, family and relation stories. She reveal very deep thinking about, say, talking to her (eventual) child. Only the guy missed an question after Emiri basically declare she would support her daughter if she insist on doing porn:
Q: What if you have a son and he watches porn all day.
A: (HIGHLY HIGHLY SPECULATIVE) I will whip his behind until it's bright red and kick him out on the street and tell him if he wants sex, find a girl and learn to make love. And get a job first.
I found the interview far far more than just NICE. It's very honest, very insightful and tells us very much not just about herself but the industry and society, if you actually listen, and yes, watch her body language. The entirety of it is that the industry is the industry, ALL of the nastiness come from the outside society (mother, boyfriend, non-porn entertainment), not the industry.
