The Japanese porn industry is estimated to be worth more than $20 billion, which should not be surprising as soon as you consider that Japan produces twice as many X-rated films as the United States. According to a veteran Japanese Adult Movie Watch Online, this comes out to over 5,000 titles annually or 14 pornographic movies being released in Japan every single day.
- A couple of moments later I arrived at the expo, I bumped into a Japanese fan holding a camera that was strange. After speaking to him for a little while, I discovered that it was a Fujifilm instax camera which produces little instant pictures called cheeky. Japanese music/sports fans frequently use these cameras to take mini-Polaroids of their favorite celebrities, which they could later get signed and trade amongst each other.
- In the JAE, there were about five distinct companies offering VR porn adventures to people willing to wait in line for around 15 minutes. I didn’t try them all but that is all right because all the available VR porn situations were allegedly the same: after strapping the headset, you saw “yourself” in the neck down being, erm, attended to by a few women.
- There are only a few things rarer on the planet than a Japanese man porn celebrity. Some sources say that there are just 30 to 70 guys working fulltime in the Western XXX industry. And, no, these amounts are not missing a couple of zeroes. Neither is the ¥1,000 per movie pay that man celebrities can expect to make upon entering Japan’s porn industry, which could explain why there are so few of Japan Porn DVD.
- Some of the busiest booths at JAE comprised Saikyō Hokusai and GIGA. Both firms specialize in (and make insane amounts of money from)”geek” pornography with actresses dressed up as superheroines, princesses, dream warriors, etc. The folks at GIGA claimed that their average fan can spend around $100 a month on their pornography DVDs and other merchandise, which puts them far over Japan’s average per capita pornography spending of $157 annually. GIGA’s most popular films include various Sailor Moon-esque magical girl productions, even though they hope their superhero-themed set of movies are their next big seller.
Individuals Will Gladly Pay Money to Get Just a Little Bit Closer to Their Favorite Porn Star. Each corner at the JAE had DVDs, photographs, T-shirts, etc available to be purchased. Yet, a few organizations went past that. Lammtarra specifically had the absolute generally fascinating “administrations” accessible at their corner. For ¥1,000, the organization’s models offered to connect with customers strangely. A portion of their administrations remembered blowing for the customer’s ear, petting them on the head, slapping them on the behind, or placing them in a wrestler’s hold. I addressed one visitor who got the headlock administration, and he was unable to have been more joyful about the entire experience.
