so if in theory, I check box all the marks to get me into porn legally, where would you send me if I asked this and you knew some information about where i could apply to? maybe a person I could speak to about this directly without having to use confidentiality?

If you happen to know where I theoretically could reach out to people in the business, I'd love to know. Thank you,

If you don't speak Japanese, that's probably your first roadblock. (Assuming that you can speak Japanese, I'd be looking in Google for Japanese terms related to the business... that's what I mean, instead of here on TAG)

Besides that, you're best way is to search for the production companies that actually market films and/or search out the specific studios that create the content for distribution.
I understand that there are occasional casting calls, but no idea where you'd find those listings as of now.

One of the most famous male pornstars here got into the industry by responding to an ad to be filmed eating shit. He literally ate a plate of shit, got paid less than the medical bills he then had to pay.
google ‘shimiken’
Now he gets to bang all the best jav actresses all day.

Please excuse the rudeness, but does this mean you're black, 6ft tall, and can maintain a full erection throughout long filming sessions ? Because our definition of "all the marks" might be a tad different. I've been watching Japanese porn for the last 10 years, and have yet to see any white dude starred in an AV production by any major studio filmed on Japanese soil. If you're a gaijin, you may be able to bypass the barriers-to-entry of 1) starting from gay porn (this is, as far as I know, a global thing, not just Japan) and/or 2) starting from granny porn / weird fetish porn / S&M porn, etc. but there's still a non-zero chance they'll have you go through all that anyway. You don't get to bang hot chicks from day 1 (or day 100, for that matter), period. There's a reason only a few dozens of dudes last long enough in this industry to have a recognizable face, whereas porn actresses are a dime a dozen.
 
I have a friend who got invited to a test shoot after he had been modeling in some fashion ads for clothes.

But as said above the agencies who call you are not the big famous Japanese companies but usually small start-ups who only have a couple of girls in their roster and none of them famous.
 
Just apply for one of those 汁男優募集 ads.
 
You know that in Japan, the male actors get about $100 a day?

There are two main and important things:
1. You have to speak fluent Japanese
2. Have a legal working visa like any job in Japan will requires.

Then there are certain things you might know.
If you apply probably you will get into small parts like watching other people having sex (like an extra) or masturbate and jizz your load on a woman's body.

You might not get paid or get paid like 1,000 yen for that.

Before the shooting you must provide a recent STD test (it cost around 10,000 - 15,000 yen) from a clinic that they recommend in order to appear on the scene.

Later they can contact you again to do other similar scenes and it could take months even a year that you can get a significant payment (more than 10,000 yen) and must be patient and have some luck in order to appear in a scene and having sex with a woman.

And do not forget that if any of your workmates see you or recognize you from a porn scene, you can kiss your job goodbye.
Also it would be almost impossible for you to get a normal job outside the adult industry.

So if you are really want to work in the adult industry in Japan, please keep in mind that you will not be able to work anywhere else, you will have to support yourself economically for several months and there is a high chance adults producers will not like you and you will not succeed as an AV actor

I'll explain more then:

Please do not think so plainly of me for starters. I know, what I wrote doesn't suggest a lot.. While the little amount I wrote would say otherwise, I just did not want to make the question complicated. It's a rather simple query about the theory of If you could, who/what/where would you approach to work for in porn?

I'll simply say that I already make money doing what I do with solo porn and am just looking to branch out and be able to network with those that do porn here in hopes to work in studios, make contacts and friends to work with too. I'd like to do this as freelance as much as I can, as it'd probably be the death of my career if I get into contract hell. Besides that, I'm legally able to do porn and can, so why not do it?

I have everything required to do porn in Japan from what I was already aware of - it was only just a matter of me getting the confidence to seek it out. And that time .. is .. -now. ;)

The reason i am doing this is because I am just really bored of doing the same thing everyday and want some variety in my porn lifestyle. Hoping that this sentiment of mine is somewhat understandable and you can understand me from the angle of isolation.

for now, I don't think it would be appropriate I disclose what exactly I am and ask that you do not pry out of general courtesy until I feel I am comfortable about advertising myself on here in the future.

I'll just say that I have been approached by several companies in the USA for my services, and while I'd like to comply, the problem is with me being stuck here in Japan and having to transport myself to them on my dime. While I would get paid for the shoots, it would still not be preference in terms of pay. I can make nearly the same amount of money for the same amount of effort from home over the nasty week period of me moving my swampy ass around the world. So I want to work on things over here until that and the worldly situation is solved before I consider this since it just feels like such a pain in the ass to travel and all the stresses involved with this odyssey too.

Currently with this thread, I am mostly just looking for names, places and people to approach broadly about working in the porn industry. I'm also just checking in on some advice some of you are providing. I can do the rest of the work after that. I have good references so that and what I provide should be enough to get an interview.

Hoping that this is understandable. I tried to write this as respectfully as possible and hope that you can return general courtesy. Sorry if this is weird but I hope this place is able to accept my bizarre question request and give me reasonably answers, without fully rolling their eyes into the back of their skulls about it thinking its some perv dreaming this.

No. This is my reality currently - I'm just branching out in other ways with it now because I'm bored, want to work with others, and get to know the community I could be working with here. The best way being, I get more involved with the local porn scene.
 
Well, now when it is obvious you have all the needed qualities for a successful porn movie start career in Japan why don't you do as TAG Manager suggested and Google the contact information for a dozen or so of the biggest JAV producers? It't not like it takes more than few minutes to find them, they are not actually trying to hide. Then it is the simple matter of letting them know about you and the rest is history.

Go to some event like Dept H. There’s Japanese in porn that might attend the event or selling their stuff. Network there. I have no addresses but if anyone here wrote down specific contacts they would be flooded with inquiries.
Maybe pay to play with a few AV escorts & show what you’ve done & ask for advice.
 
OP, are you male or female? I think we all assumed you were male, but some of your description just don't match up with that assumption.

If you are female, there was at least one thread on the subject that you can refer to.

Can I say I am trans ... or is that a little too much for this board? >:D

But now that you know my shit, its okay. I think you all can go along with it. On papers, .. haha just don't ask about that. You can all probably assume what I have to do to maintain things. To them, I'm just .. yeah. Very feminine man with tits hidden underneath my sweater :). Discrimination is great but it is what it is! :) old guys got big tits anyways sticking out of their shirt, so its whatever i feel..

Yeah. I've been busy with my things recently but thank you very much for the messages. I'm still looking it over and preparing applications for some companies. I'll do that. Just curious if someone had any other suggestions before i seriously ball out! I am approaching some of the more known brands in this category, but I want to check in to make sure everything is okay. Sorry for th emystery but usually every internet board outside of my spaces hates it so :)

well, don’t worry about judgment, many of us here had adventures with transes …. But that was an important detail to know to give proper feedback , don’t you think?
Not that I could , but maybe some distinguished members here know better about the trans porn niche

Thanks. Forgive my hesitance. It's just I'm not sure what to expect since I see how the Reddit is for Japan stuff and it just gets very hectic, very quick on there. So I stupidly assumed that I may need to be a little cautious here too with exposing all my grapes.

Pretty much ...like, I'm just researching things as I do my work everyday currently and writing up drafts and checking them over with some peers before I make a solid footstep into this. I'm doing pretty well with just one thing, but I really do want some variety planned once I'm done with my current month's goal. If it's something in real life, like porn or.. other work.. hm. That may be nice!
I don't expect to do everything immediately, I'm just planning, researching and checking with my contacts as much as I can to confirm how I am proceeding is appropriate since it's not so simple like sending a Direct inquiry to one of the people's twitter. (But perhaps it is and could be that? Hmmm..)
 
For the trans community I would especially still recommend making personal connections via Dept H after Corona. Skip the other part.
