Did everyone see this photo?
Yes, the production company Moodyz mobilized its exclusive actresses for a promotional photoshoot. However, this article isn't about their ranking in the eyes of the higher-ups, but rather what this photo was actually for…
The answer is, to celebrate Takahashi Shoko's (Takahashi Seiko) fifth anniversary in the industry!
So you see how much influence Takahashi has, getting the production company to mobilize almost all the actresses to take this beautiful photo. Here are two tidbits: First, the actresses took promotional photos one by one and then the images were composited together, so they didn't actually meet in person. This is partly because Japanese photo studios are small, and partly because, unless it's a large event, production companies generally don't allow actresses to meet to avoid unnecessary problems. Second, only "almost" of Moodyz's exclusive actresses were present; a few were absent. For example, the two entertainers, "the most beautiful ghost" Nakamura Miu and "busty captain" Yumemi Ruu, didn't appear. Nanazawa Mia wasn't feeling well and didn't participate. Some might wonder about Futami Rei; her contract for six works has expired, and she's no longer with Moodyz, so it's none of her business.
And it's not just about taking photos and that's it!
Moodyz turned the fifth anniversary of Shoko Takahashi's debut into a promotional event. Mobilizing actresses for photoshoots was not only to showcase their talent and create a sense of unity, but also to make money—how did they do it? First, all items are 30% off. Although FANZA items are already 25% off, the "【30% OFF】" tag before the title is still attractive, and a bonus video is included with each item. Second, it's a limited-edition release. If you've been checking the sales charts, you'll have seen this one recently: "Minna Atsumare! MOODYZ Campaign ~Takasho's 5th Anniversary Special! Charm Reappearance Special". DVD! ~ "It's selling incredibly well! This 100-minute film, priced at only 500 yen (130 NTD), includes performances by Shoko Takahashi (Seiko Takahashi) performing blowjobs, masturbation, breast play, and self-pleasure, along with 11 other actresses' most exciting scenes. It's truly cheap and plentiful:
Finally, and most importantly, there's the merchandise featuring these 12 actresses: Yes, the beautiful photos are useful. Each of these 12 actresses spent over 3 hours getting ready, putting on yukatas, and changing into swimsuits, all for the purpose of shooting merchandise. Anyone who buys Moodyz promotional items (of course, this is to clear out inventory)..." (No doubt about it!) Friends can get individual photos of the actresses. If you don't want to buy so many films and take up space, that's fine too; you can buy the photos separately. In addition, Moodyz has specially made acrylic figure displays, a set of 3. Buy them all at once and combine them, and all 12 Moodyz actresses will stand up on the table so you can stand up too!
Finally, it must be said that the COVID-19 pandemic has made the film industry grow, and their marketing methods have improved a lot. In the past, seeing these promotional displays with actresses standing in a row mostly meant for dream collaborations, but now they're using them just to promote their works. Also, no matter how the films are made, no matter how much the outside world criticizes her appearance, Takahashi Shoko (Takahashi Seiko) remains Moodyz's unwavering top star. Although her arrival transformed Moodyz from a fast-moving, unrestricted company into a super-glamorous idol film company, I believe that for the company's executives, this investment has been incredibly profitable!
