BREAKING: Shimiken Shares Insights On Male Actor Salaries & Eimi Fukada Finally Off Loads Tax Burden!

Here's a rundown of some of the top stories that happened in April

I hope y’all recall Eimi’s run in with the tax authorities after having been slapped with a tax invoice of 80 million yen!

When the story broke, the JAV actress was at her lowest to the point that she was hitting a ramen joint with her mystery boyfriend during Christmas. Her appearance was haggard, she had resigned from her former agency, her promotional photos were sidelined by her agency, add to the fact that her social media updates were wildly infrequent.

But but, her latest drop on Youtube paints a totally different picture. To get straight to the point, she's solved her tax problem!

I’m still in awe of how she did it considering the mountain of tax she had to clear. In the clip, she lays out the whole story of her tax burden as she found out she owed 80 million yen to the tax authority a year or so ago, and at the time she was so shocked she cried because not only did she get a text message on her mobile phone about it, but someone from the Tokyo Tax Department, dressed in a two piece suit like those in Men In Black franchise, knocked on the door to look for her. Even her parents were notified of the same. At the time, Eimi was caught aback by the allegations, because at her former firm she received income, and her boss had assured her he had filed a tax return on her behalf.

It was only then that she realised that she had been cheated by her former boss. In fact, even before being notified of tax arrears, there was already something wrong, after she became somewhat of a celebrity, Eimi decided to set up a company for business other than AV, Fukada asked the firm to pay the salary via wire transfer, and then the firm was told that it was not a good idea to do so. As a result, she didn't get any remuneration back then and she didn't bother to contact the president of the agency.

In early 2023, when there were rumours in the industry that she had not been paid by the agency for the promotion of TRE in Taiwan, which made her cut off contact with her agency in retaliation. However, thanks to the fact that there is another agency, Mine's, who signed her up, she at least relied on the president of the agency to help her out after the tax storm. It is believed that to help deal with tax burden, she used to take the income and put all the savings at home in her makeshift bank account, and then gradually paid off the taxes during the year, making her finally tax-free.

We all know that the news report said that Fukada had 20 million yen in savings at the time when the news broke and Fukada didn't tell us how she managed to earn or raise the rest of the 60 million yen but that's amazing, 80 million yen, all paid off!

You could make out from the Youtube clip, that she looks great as she interacts with the guy in a playful manner. Oh and how could I forget, at the end of the film, she doesn't forget to plug in her whey protein brand. I believe, she is a lot better than the time when the incident happened when she announced that she was leaving her former agency. It feels like justice has been served! Meanwhile, keep up with her on X.

Recently, JAV actor Shimiken made headlines as he took to Twitter to share some exclusive insider scoop on male salaries in the industry as he shared more than we expected.

According to Shimiken’s tweet, if you shoot more than 40 scenes a month, you can be labelled as a popular actor. Let me explain briefly. The so-called project actresses refer to the amateur actresses who only account for a small portion of the studio’s works. These actresses may not have their own stage names, and often times aren’t even affiliated to an agency. So, in short, if you can get 10k yen to perform with a similar actress, then congratulations, you have already made it as an entry level JAV actor. But, shooting a variety of content means performing without actual penetration. But when you level up from that at 20k yen, actual penetration is allowed, making the experience both pleasurable and profitable, lol.

As for what is controlled ejaculation? It simply translates to that if the shoot supervisor says you can't cum, you can't snap it off. So, basically if a male actor controls his ejaculation whether through natural or stimulants used during porn shoots, they can expect to upgrade to the next level and earn 30k yen.

In the next pay bracket, the male actor associated with the shoot can completely reveal his stage name. It also qualifies him to have a threesome with the exclusive actress of the studio but there are exceptions. Now, there are some actresses who are not very good at threesomes, like Yua Mikami and Ayaka Kabei. If you want to have one-on-one sex with them, then you have to upgrade to the 40,000 yen version.

Then we’ve the highest pay bracket of 50k yen, which gives you access to perform in debut films of newcomers from top film companies such as S1, Moodyz, IP, Madonna, and SOD STAR. In short, Muscle Sawano , Samejima, and Ken Shimizu are regular appearances on this list because of their own standards. This means that these male actors have gained the trust of the film producers and take on the important responsibility of breaking the ice for newcomers to experience porn shoots for the very first time, that makes them the guys at the top of the pyramid. Judging from the works just released by the film producer Muteki for the actress Kiho Kanematsu, that featured Daisuke Sadamatsu and Muscle Sawan, I think this alone makes them the highest-ranking male actors in this industry.

Shooting more than 40 works in a month inevitably makes you are a popular actor. This means that you not only perform in more than one work, per day, but also gain to earn the trust of the JAV studios and the support of the fans, you must also have a fit body that can withstand multiple shoots a day. To everyone reading this blog, if you have actually gone to watch a male actor's performance, you will know that if you have to do this every day, you really need to do some maintenanceand be on a strict diet to complete the task. I'm just honest.

Speaking of which, from this post by Shimiken, we know that the pay for male actors is really not high, and you must be a popular actor to make that kind of a salary. The most important thing is the word "trust". Some people often think rookies are always monopolized by those male actors but in fact, it is more because the film producers have absolute trust in these senior male actors, so those people are always given the charge.

People who are aspiring to be male actors can take a look at this price list and think about whether it is worth it. Meanwhile, keep up with Shmiken on X.

Next up, it's all about some captivating gossip on Nanami Matsumoto. If you don’t recall how the whole industry literally sidelined All Group to the point that major agencies stopped doing business with them, yeah, the one that had all the studios in an uproar. Well, Nanami just made a power move that's got everyone talking.

Some of you might be scratching your head wondering why Nanami took so long to jump ship to NAX or any of the studio that boycotted All Group. It’s likely so that NAX wouldn't touch anyone with the All Group stink on them.

But here’s what flipped the script though. Apparently, All Group wasn’t behind Nanami's stage name, Nanami Matsumoto. So, she bypassed the whole authorization mess and simply switched agencies while keeping her name. Pretty clever, wouldn't you say?

In a statement, Nanami expressed her appreciation for All Group's concern, but let's face it, staying with them meant being blacklisted by eight other studios. Not exactly a recipe for career longevity, especially for someone with her sights set on international domination. "Thank you for your support! I have now moved to a new office, NAX. I would like to thank the staff at All Pro for all their help and support. I would like to thank everyone at NAX for welcoming me and everyone who has supported me, and I will continue to polish my skills as an AV actress and do my best from now on! I will continue to work hard in the future as well!"

Speaking of international domination, Nanami's new agency is wasting no time. To prove they made the right call, they're pulling out all the stops to get her overseas offers. And guess what, readers? Taiwan might just be the first stop on the Nanami Matsumoto's world tour schedule!

So, while the agency war rages on, Taiwan fans can start packing their metaphorical bags to welcome the JAV hottie on their land. Now, the rumor mill is churning about who'll be the next All Group starlet to make a break for it. Any bets on who it'll be?

One thing's for sure, fellas, Nanami's move is a bold one, and it's sure to shake things up. Keep your eyes peeled, because this is just the beginning. And who knows, maybe you'll be catching a glimpse of Nanami gracing the stages of Taiwan Expo real soon. Until next time, stay tuned for more exclusive updates from your favorite industry insider!
