Japan, a country characterized by a quiet and reserved society, but why is the job of a porn actress so popular? Money is one of the main reasons

To better understand the amounts of money,  the conversion will be in dollars (USA).

Kikaku Actress or Freelance  ( $ 300 to  700  dollars monthly)

  • They earn between 10,000 and 100,000 yen per release, depending on the number of actresses participating or the length of the film and the production company in charge.
  • Being a porn actress is a secondary job for them
  • Kikaku actresses are mostly little-known actresses or the 2 previous types of actresses when they want to work less or extra money 

An average actress can earn 10 thousand dollars, it all depends on how many AV movies she stars in and how much her content is consumed.

This was an estimate of what AV actresses can earn from porn alone, but there are other incomes.

To know exactly how much your favorite AV actress earns, you need to know the following:

  1. Making a woman debut as a porn actress has a price separate from her regular contract 
  2. Most production companies pay per contract for several films, in case the actresses gain popularity they will not increase their payment until they renew their contract.
  3. Some production companies pay based on what the films generate after their publication 
  4. There are royalties for movie compilations 
  5. Some actresses earn extra money on Gravure photo and video shoots
  6. They also make money in adult venues such as nightclubs, cabaret, Soapland and Delivery Health  as well as in other media such as Radio, TV and social networks (YouTube).
  7. Some create and sell their product lines or their businesses as beauty salons. 


There are several examples, I will tell you some.

Asuka Kirara 


He signed an exclusive contract for his first 5 films for 10 million yen. 

In 2007  $1   dollar = 87 円 yen 

For each release she was paid 2 million yen or 22 thousand dollars, but the increase in her popularity (sales) led her to earn a maximum of 10 million yen per release.  

The former actress currently earns more money just for her presence, on fashion catwalks and other media thanks to her fame obtained from porn.




Yua Mikami 

You probably know her, Yua former idol, gravure idol and one of the most famous AV actresses currently. Her debut payment allowed her to buy a   second-hand 2LDK apartment. 

Apartment 2LDK is a fairly comfortable apartment in Japan with a high value, being second-class, it is estimated that the approximate price is between 30 to 50 million yen  

In 2015  $1   dollar = 121 円 yen 

Mikami earned, in her debut alone, between 250 and 400 thousand dollars, it is understandable since she was a celebrity before being a porn actress. 

Anri Okita Okita Anri 



Anri debuted in 2011, her debut AV release was named  "Debut with a 100 Million Yen Body" , the title was taken from her blog in 2010, in which the actress commented that she had insured her body for 100,000,000円 yen. Some sources in 2011 commented that that amount was the amount she was paid for her debut. 

En 2011  1$ dólar = 80 円 yen 

1, 250, 000 dólares, es una cantidad exagerada aun si se le pago por todas las películas producidas  en su carrera. Los títulos de los lanzamientos Debut acostumbran mentir en su mayoría para atraer fanáticos, no  dudo que si le pagaron bien a Anri por su contrato pero esa cantidad es exagerada  


Minano nagase 永瀬みなも 

This beautiful actress debuted in 2018 as an exclusive for PRESTIGE, one of the most famous AV production companies. Some media experts in the industry mentioned that the amount the actress was paid was 3,000,000 million for debuting.

In 2018 $1 dollar = 110 円 yen

approximately 27,272 dollars, but this is not the important thing, the same media commented that the regular amount paid for a debut for an AV actress is 1 million yen (+7 thousand dollars). This is in exclusive production companies. This sounds more logical than the previous case, "Minamo" earned a little more than 34 thousand dollars in the first month of it.


Now let's talk about how much you could earn annually.


Yoshizawa Akiho 吉沢明歩


The oldest and most retired AV actress I know is Akiho, this beautiful woman who debuted in 2003 and surpassed 1,000 appearances in AV releases. In a 2016 TV show interview with several famous artists in Japan, they were asked, "Have any of you earned a maximum annual salary of 50 million yen?" to which she and another artist responded YES,

In 2016 $1 dollar = 108 円 yen

It means that the actress earned more than 460 thousand dollars in one year, this is not unusual since Akiho earned up to 1 million per AV release and worked as an exclusive for 2 companies at the same time, that means that she earned up to 2 million yen per month, 24 per year, we are talking about 222 thousand dollars without counting extras such as royalties, photo sessions and video recording.

There is extra income for some actresses

It is well known that many AV actresses also work in Luxury Men's Salons better known as Soapland or DeliveryHealth in which they offer "SPECIAL" services, some do it during their porn career and others after retirement, these services have a cost per time Depending on the woman who provides the service, it is clear that because she is an AV actress or former actress the cost is higher.


Koharu Suzuki 

She was one of the actresses discovered in one of these places after her retirement, the cost for her service was 20 to 30 thousand yen per hour, approximately 180 and 270 dollars. According to some sources on the Internet, the actress mentioned that she earned more than this work than as AV, since as such the wear and tear was less and the time was also less than recording a complete film

If we do an approximate of 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, that is 48 hours a month, if Koharu earned 270 per hour she earned almost 13 thousand dollars a month, more than 1 million yen.



Shinoda Ayumi
 

She is another of the retired actresses who worked in one of these luxury salons, the information about her is that she earned 100 thousand yen for 180 minutes, if we divide it it is more or less the same as Koharu.

Himekawa Yuuna & Kirishima Rino 

They were enrolled in these luxury salons, Yuuna did it while she had a break as an AV actress and Rino while she was still one (currently retired).


Tsuji Honoka  



Active Actress who debuted in 2019, you have probably seen her, this beauty, apart from working as a porn actress in 2020, declared that she was a "Delivery Health Lady" and that she had a monthly income of up to 5 million yen.

En 2020  1$ dólar = 106 円 yenes 

Significa que Honoka ganaba 47,000 dolares al mes aparte de sus ingresos como actriz AV 



And about the royalties?

Satomi Yuria 里美ゆりあ 

Yuria, legendary actress, had a tax problem in 2014 for not declaring 245 million yen (more than 2,200,000 dollars) in 7 years from 2007 to 2013. 
45 million royalties for her work as an AV actress, and 200 million she received in cash For a man I deal with personally, leaving aside the 200 million. 
Yuria earned 45 million from royalties alone in 7 years, approx. between 400 and 500 thousand dollars in 6 years.

The royalties are the extra earned from her work mainly from compilations made by the production companies, it is a lower amount but if it accumulates and for the amount it can be quite a lot of money, it all depends on the actress



Now you know why hundreds of Japanese women want to do porn and the amount of money the AV industry handles in Japan.


For example, how much do you think Eimi Fukada or Akari Mitani earn?

In 2021, Eimi earned approximately
91 million yen (670 thousand dollars)
between AV releases,YouTube,
her clothing line and her beauty clinic.
The example of Eimi Fukada shows us how being a YouTuber generates more income and increases their popularity, which helps them generate more movie sales and higher contracts, something similar to Asuka Kirara who, even though she is retired from the industry, generates a lot of money. .

Akari Mitani only made money with adult content

Akari and Eimi are the two actresses who generated the most money in 2021

Akari earned 52 million yen
(380 thousand dollars) and has two
exclusives with Honnaka and Das
recorded more than 30 releases
for 1.5 million each.
