Divorce ceremonies in Japan 'on the rise' after tsunami
The "divorce dress" that is designed to look most beautiful as the woman walks away says it all. I would have liked to see government statistics on divorce rates since the earthquake before jumping to the conclusion that this rise in "divorce ceremonies" reflects a new-found Japanese awareness of the fragility of life. After reading this article, contested Japanese divorce proceedings sound horrid, especially if you're the husband.

You wouldn't imagine that people would want to split up after something like the tsunami, mainly because of obvious reasons.

Be it today, tomorrow or 10 years time, we're at the mercy of Mother Nature, we can die anytime. With that in mind, it's all the more reason to be doing something that you won't regret, and for those guys I guess working on their marriage seeed like a waste of time and just making a clean break was all the better. But it is poor taste to 'celebrate' otherwise what should be a lifelong union that you don't toss away too easily. Then again, it's Japan, "Christian weddings" and all -.-;;

This may be a bit of a senstive subject here but I've have been reading up on a book that talks a bit how the JAV industry works written by a creditable guy.
Now, he mentions that for the past few years, about 400 new girls had been recruited as actresses annually. Given that a fraction of those may be old veterans brought out of retirement under new names and some may not be young recruits at old for those with Granny Fetish. But take those away and it still quite a figure for a nation with an aging population. The author also mentions that unless the girls are already streetsmart, very savvy and.....talented, they seldom last long in that trade and are out by their first year or 2. It's also said the producers have the final say in what the actress can or cannot do after the girl sign the contract. All in all, a trade that chew and spit out the talents, leaving them with a dark future in other trade in vice if they are not careful since the girl will always carried the stigma of being a JAV talent. The question now is why the rush for the quick buck (A JAV Actress is paid about a million yen per title.) and spend their youth in one go ? It's quite obvious that those producers do not have a lack of recruits as the girls come calling in year after year that manage to sustain the growth of the industry for the past 30 years or so. It's amazing when you think factor in Japan's aging poulation as I have said earlier. Last edited by MakubeX2; 2011-07-23 at 09:49. |

Besides would you, as an modern asian female, dare admit to your future in-laws that you slept with countless men while being recorded on video even if your future husband doesn't mind ? Some ancient values still sticks today in Asia. Quote:

Now, the thing is, today's Japan is not a good place for youth getting jobs unless they're from the elite schools or have connections. There are age and college graduation year restrictions on applicants, the best jobs are for those who are expected to graduate from uni the following year, the upper tiers are stacked with those who had been loyal to the company for years. On the other hand, the general laziness of the new generations, feeding off the wealth that the previous ones had gathered, enhances the stagnated situation of the general job market, where most would op for part-time jobs. In such an atmosphere of general decadence, is there anything much to do? There isn't, and that has some effect on why girls would want to make some quick bucks while searching for an alternative (if there are any steady ones, that is). I admit, I have a very negative view of the Japanese job market (probably because I've been exposed to the hyper competitive Korean market), but really, I don't blame that much for those wanting some cash. Quote:
Back to the topic: Given the depressed marriage scene, I would say that if the girl herself is okay (aside from that JAV past), there wouldn't be too much opposition from the parents. Japan has always had a hidden "liberal" sex attitude, where having a serious relationship would make sleeping together basically just an option. The filming probably make things uncomfortable, but probably not something to stop the knot if all the other factors are good enough. Quote:

So, if the public is as forgiving as your have said, there would be more of them on the small screen or a regular basis given the recruitment rate. They are in the entertainment industry afterall and are cult idol to say the least. But we have the odd 1 or 2 appearing as guest on late night entertainment before disappearing altogether. Quote:

And given the state of the Internet today, a film isn't going to fade away once uploaded. The girl's past will always be back to bug her and it will make an valid argument point in a quarrel. Quote:
So, once they are out of the business, they can't really do much when the cash runs out with all those exposure. As I said earlier, her past will always come back to haunt her. A regular job wouldn't be able to satisfy her if she had no long term plans, which is most likely the case. And I don't believe she has the Qualification to get into some high level admin post nor know how to run a business. All the more pathetic is, the recruitement rate isn't going down. |

Also, there are major corporations in Japan that hire office ladies (OLs) with a heavy emphasis on looks; these women in turn are in contact with men working for a huge corporation that they can try to work their magic and get married to. To put this into perspective, I know a girl who graduated this Spring and went to work for a major company who only plans to stay for a few years until she gets married and can quit. Quote:

You guys do realize there are housewives that appear in AV as well? Sometimes they even have the husband's permission. Quote:

Sure, there are those that might have to resort to it because they have no other way of making money, but those girls might have reasons for not getting a job that are, say, shared with other girls around the world who might be in a similar situation. That's different. |

But I referring those who are already working full time under contract, pushing out titles month after month by the age of 18-19. Those are usually the ones who will be caught in a vicious cycle if they have no plans at all. Quote:
Anyway the point of the topic is that I want to find out why today's Japanese girls are just so willing to sell themselves out in front of a camera. Be it for cash or other reasons. |

At their core, I believe, the Japanese still hold on to their old values. If not, why the need for an alias and mosiacs for JAV ? Quote:

Oh, and I was once approached by a scout. Kicked him in the shins after he continued trying to recruit me after I told him I was a lesbian. Quote:
Finally, Japan's "tradition" has been outward conservationism and inward liberalism when it comes to sex. That's something most seem to not realize, and try to lump Japan with the real conservative Korea. |
