The new AV law is in the news again!
According to this news article, the "AV Performance Victim Prevention and Relief Bill," which has recently become a focal point, was discussed in the House of Representatives yesterday. The focus remained on whether actual sexual acts should be prohibited during AV performances. The opposition parties argued that if sexual intercourse during filming cannot be used to invalidate a performance contract, it raises concerns about "legalizing prostitution." Therefore, Constitutional Democratic Party member Kaname Tsutsumi, who proposed the bill, argued that murder and arson in movies are acting, not real acts, and urged everyone to consider whether actual sexual acts in AV works should be prohibited…
. Even some party members are distancing themselves, saying that's not what they meant… Now, )
Because the opposition party's demands are truly absurd, many AV actresses also expressed their thoughts immediately. I've summarized them below:

My goodness, this argument that equates sexual activity with murder and arson is truly brilliant. No wonder some say that women are always the ones who persecute them. Many Japanese netizens are saying they'll teach the Constitutional Democratic Party, which proposed the bill, a lesson in the July election (of course, Japanese people don't like to vote, so it's likely just empty talk). Even some party members are distancing themselves, saying that's not what they meant… Now, "AV ban" has become a hot topic in Japan. Tags ~

Tenshi Moe (天使萌) approaches the issue from an industry perspective, telling everyone that the elimination of the AV industry would only lead to the rise of platforms like FC2 (simply put, the government wouldn't collect taxes). Why bother? Miru used her own physical condition as an example, saying she couldn't be a 9-to-5 office worker and wouldn't be able to survive without the AV industry; while Hinata Marin told everyone that the AV industry could accommodate her needs, and if they couldn't do real sex, then she wouldn't do it...
This site has reported on the "New AV Law" quite a few times since it first appeared. It's the same old story: either it's some "social elites" trying to create their own utopia, or it's a tactic used by self-proclaimed left-wing opposition parties to attract attention. From lowering the legal age of majority to 18, they've been causing trouble for the AV industry—and today it's definitely not because the AV industry did anything wrong. No, it's not that some people are arrogantly "righteous indignant," and some political parties want to use this as a tool to attract voter support during elections, which led to a series of news stories that have continued until now. Anyway, the AV industry doesn't fight back publicly, and it's very effective:

Politicians aside, if they genuinely want to do something for the AV industry and protect the rights of actresses, then, as Makoto Toda said, they should listen to the voices of current actresses. If one isn't enough, listen to another; if that's still not enough, keep listening. I even think the biggest problem right now is that there are too many restrictions on the AV industry. Emphasizing human rights and protecting actresses is absolutely correct, but interfering with the subject matter of filming and dictating the performance style is also problematic. Pointing out that is completely useless. Since the introduction of forced contracts in the AV industry (which is obviously wrong), the industry has changed a lot to meet public demands, but it's clear that the industry hasn't improved; instead, it has spurred the rise of the FC2 platform. Looking back at the time from Yui Hatano's debut to Miku Ohashi's retirement, and then looking at the current AV industry, I really have to draw conclusions from what Moe Tenshi (天使もえ) said in her reply to her own tweet:
"If the Japanese economy were better, fewer people would regret becoming AV actresses after being lured in by short-term gains."
Everything depends on the results of the July election.
