Hello! opinions/suggestions please :)

Was anyone else super disappointed that we weren't meeting the first ever gaijin female TAG member that wanted to act in JAV videos?

You haven't been paying attention; we have already had girls here who done that and survived to tell the tale.

Yes but it strikes me that we are much nicer to a lady asking for this type of advice than to the men. Who said taggers are sexist? Definitely not true! :D

Truth of the matter, though, is that a woman who can arrange the appropriate status of residence actually can get into the industry as a performer.

For men, it's a near impossibility that they would already know about if they had done the slightest bit of research.

I always wanted to be a pornstar here, never happened despite my huge... Japanese language abilities :D

I have a friend who was doing some modelling as a side kick and then got invitation from a porn company to join one of their, obviously artistically very ambitious, productions.

The pay they offered was marginally more than the cost for the STD test you need to submit before being able to work with them.

law of supply and demand.... I’m sure some guys would even PAY to be in a porn movie. And it might still be a good deal for them vs going to a soapland

Whoa, I had no idea. Although I imagine it would be slightly easier for a lady to get in. Hope they got out without too much mental scarring.

Not sure there have been others, but if you look up old threads by Jennifer, I think she told the tale somewhere around 2015.
 
Oh come on!.
I bet IRL you are a fluffy bunny type character. Your talk of guns is all water pistols, and you watch "This is Us" and cry.:p

Wait, isn't that the series with Mandy Moore?? I was tempted to watch a few episodes, if we're being honest. I think I jerked off to her music video for "Crush," almost as many times as I did to Christina Aguilera's "Come On Over" music video during those wonder years prior to 9-11. Still haven't gotten over her.



Truth be told, we're on week #7 of lockdown, Netflix has become my other half's best friend and due to that, I've probably watched three seasons of Queer Eye. I'm getting a curious itch to cut a guy's hair and put something up my ass.
 
So, did you have any luck? I'm interested in finding a job in the industry as well, please let me know what happened.
 
Hello!
Just made an account. I'm planning on applying for a working visa to Japan in the near future. I'm 22, Female with a degree in multimedia arts and have worked in the gaming industry for a while. Currently studying up Japanese. I'm actually looking to work for the porn industry (NOT AS AN ACTRESS LOL) as an assistant or tech person, or even just a layout artist for print and basically any other media. Does anyone have ANY idea on how I can start? Frankly, the pay isn't what I'm after. I'm just really passionate about this and 100% serious. Do you guys think I have a chance at this?


@kduong

I see you are checking past threads, good job!

@dongdongies

have a look to the links below

Rizu Suzuki, who is a female AV director

interview to AV actresses







*regarding contracts
while in the western countries/companies the contract is very specific and detailed, usually in Japan the contract states just worktime, wage and a few other items. What an employee can do or not do is specified in the company rules or in some other document.
So you should get written confirmation beforehand or better the document itself (very difficult). Bear in mind that interviewers or HR people might not be informed (or willing or in the position to check) about second jobs policy for employees.
Generally a side job is frowned upon.

*the general idea
We understand the you want to work in the AV field in Japan. What is your outlook?
How many years do you want to allow to get to that objective?
As Tag Manager has correctly said, get a visa and branch out.
Provided you like Japan after living (and working) for a reasonable time.
I think that no visa allows you to work in AV field as you wish to do. There might be a visa for the category, but since the Immigration Officer has some discretionality, he might deny the visa application. Best option is to marry a Japanese or whatever visa holder and sniff out the field.

*passion/money
My impression is that only a few AV actresses make enough money for a living. Most have to do side jobs as hostesses or in the fuzoku world. Also do the same thing that AKB48 gals do. That is go to events and get money to: meet fan, chat with fan, give autograph, sell personalized gadgets/trinkets. Whatever goes at the moment.

Best of luck.
 
@dongdongies , since you mentioned experience in the game industry, the DMM route might be the most viable.
DMM make a lot of things, and besides JAV, they also dabble in porn games (mobile, VR etc).
I actually met someone who works on these games, and it sounded like there's a lot of overlap between the games and the JAV world (eg the same guy runs both etc).
So, if I were you, I'd try to get a job/visa via the DMM game division, make connections and branch out.
This is all hypothetical, so YMMV.

I guess I will be OK with that! I mean, if they pay me to have sex or at least the sex will not cost me any money, then I will be OK with that! Lol!

I have been spending between 90,000 to 120,000 yen per month in "Fuzoku" places, for the last 3 months.

So having sex (and being paid for it) sounds like a good deal for me! . I should really consider to start a career as a porn actor.

If any of you guys are thinking: "another foreigner who wants to get into Japanese Porn Industry, such a fool".

Actually yes, I was born outside Japan, but I have Japanese citizenship, I look 100% Japanese (as my parents are both Japanese) and I speak fluent Japanese. No need to apply for working visa or residency.

I am not sure how much being a porn actor and having sex actually have in common.

I mean I rarely have several dudes in sweaty t-shirts standing around with lights and microphones and stuff directing me to change positions and stopping everything just when it starts to feel good.

You wouldn't need to spend any money and they would probably even throw a bill or two your way at the end of the long day but I think I still rather stick to paying a bit to shoot my load in three minutes, having a beer or two and then taking a nap.
 
Hi dongdongies
I rarely comment on here as almost anything said gets rinsed by the old boys who seem to comment on every thread. If you are young and come to japan on a working holiday visa there are some video and graphics agencies you can work for to get some experience and then I can introduce you to someone who works at DMM but no guarantee they’ll let you into the porn industry it’s quite domestic and I think they prefer to keep it that way.
