Filming uncensored movies! That's probably the first thing that comes to mind for seasoned viewers, like Sakura Nene who retired before. However, those who dare to be so daring are a minority. What about those actresses and their agencies who don't dare to film uncensored movies? How will they raise their retirement funds?

The answer is to directly ask fans to invest in the production of a "final photobook" on a crowdfunding platform. Basically, as long as the actress is famous enough, you can definitely raise more money than expected. For example, Riku Minato, who recently retired, aimed for 4 million yen but received 10.66 million yen, which is 2.5 times the target amount, attracting 750 people to donate money in one go.

Besides Riku Minato, Aki Sasaki, who announced her retirement in April, has followed suit and launched a fundraising campaign for her final photobook. Her goal is even lower, at 2.5 million yen. Given her fame, reaching that goal should be a breeze. That's how fundraising works anyway; if enough money is raised, it can be done; if not, the money is returned—no loss whatsoever. It's much better than those retirement methods that involve burning themselves out to make a final film!
