Someone told me that FC2 is the hope of Japanese AV, and will soon replace those censored production companies!
Is that true? Indeed, judging from the news of previous sellers being arrested, they do have quite a few paying fans. However, their rapid growth has also drawn the attention of Japanese public authorities to these individual sellers who specialize in filming uncensored videos. So, not long ago, another seller, "Tarokichi 2nd Generation @ One Shot One Meeting," was arrested:
His real identity is a swimming coach named "Sano Koei": Once his name was revealed, all his personal information was exposed (so you know how afraid actresses are of having their personal information exposed). He started swimming at age 4, participated in the Japanese National Championships in the 3rd grade of elementary school, and set national records in the 200m and 400m in the 6th grade. His performance remained excellent throughout junior high and high school, until he retired from competition in university due to a lack of breakthroughs…
Damn, I thought I wrote another SOD video. Star's newcomer "Shin Misaki" is a character named Sano, who, after finding a job as a swimming coach, has an insatiable sex drive and wants to make money through sex. He joins the ranks of FC2 sellers, recruiting actresses on social media for 70,000-100,000 yen (17,000-25,000 NTD). He then single-handedly acts as director, male actor, lighting technician, sound engineer, and general assistant, selling the finished products for 980-5000 yen (230-1250 NTD) each. In a short time, he sold 16 million yen (approximately 4 million NTD) worth of products, pocketing about half, or 8 million yen, after deducting costs.
So how is he now?
The swimming coach has confessed to the crime (filming uncensored videos), saying he did it because of excessive sexual desire and a desire to make money. He should be released after posting bail. While he might not face the same level of non-prosecution as the agency president who picks up women on the street and arranges for them to film AVs, it's not a serious crime either. However, given the recent news, it's clear that the Japanese government is already paying attention to sellers like FC2. Everyone probably still remembers the news about cracking down on uncensored video distributors. We can only hope that those involved are extremely careful; the flames you've ignited must not be extinguished!
