What's the most shocking news these past two days? It's probably Mita An's sudden retirement.
What made this girl, from a poor family with eight siblings and determined to work hard to earn money, suddenly retire? Thoughtful Japanese netizens have compiled some details for us. First, Mita An went to filming happily that day, but before the filming was even finished, problems arose. It's unclear whether it was a dispute with the production company or her agency, but the agency swiftly removed her from the list of actresses, and then Mita An issued a retirement statement…
So, what was the dispute about?
I don't believe Mita An was forced to do anything. Everyone knows that since the forced filming scandal, production companies and agencies have been extremely cautious, always requiring actresses to sign consent forms before filming. Therefore, I'm more inclined to believe that the two sides had a major argument on set that led to Mita An quitting. This is precisely the theme of this article: actresses arguing with their managers has almost become commonplace in the industry, and it's not uncommon for actresses to quit or managers to walk away in anger.

Let me give you a few examples. One of the gold-card actresses at last year's TRE Taipei Adult Expo was known for being difficult in private. When she was having a photoshoot, her manager complained to us, "You know what? She almost killed me several times. Every time, I felt like I barely survived..."
Recently, news came that this manager and actress have completely fallen out, and she's even refusing to attend events together in Japan.
Why do actresses often fall out with their managers? I think there are several reasons: First, many popular actresses have a princess complex. Like the gold-card actress I just mentioned, she even needs her manager to pack her suitcase every time she travels abroad. This inevitably leads to friction. Second, actresses can be demanding, putting their managers in a difficult position. The accumulated anger over time can be terrifying. Finally, many actresses have never had a job and have a lot of bad habits. Being late for important shoots or meetings, standing people up, or complaining of being tired and wanting to leave early after a short time will all cause their managers to lose their temper, leading to endless arguments…

But don't assume it's all the actresses' fault. The agents at their agencies aren't necessarily much better: many fail to prepare necessary materials, are clueless about their duties and stand there blankly on set, or simply disappear once work begins. Many actresses only snap when they can't take it anymore.
Frankly, actresses and agents are alike. Most people who enter this industry aren't exceptionally talented, and some have really bad lifestyle habits, making them more prone to friction than regular office workers. So why do agents sometimes abandon the actresses they've nurtured and leave the industry? And why do agents in this industry, if they're even slightly capable, start their own businesses? After seeing how they interact with actresses, you'll know the answer.
