Me and my friend (both male) were exiting a shop in akihabara (just a small normal store that sold normal character models, nothing seedy) and as we were exiting the store we got handed a flyer by a man for porn auditions…has anyone else had this happen? 😅
EDIT: Added pictures of the flyer as requested

It’s a scam
Have you join the audition?
Well Japan has a shortage of male porn actors, doesn’t it?
Would love to see how the poster looks 😂
oh my god akihabara? i need to go there now so people don’t get scammed. well maybe tommorow.
Real answer.
It’s most likely a scam. Most male actors are introduced to the industry by other male actors or by female actors. Source: My friend works in the industry. He does the script for narratives. No sexy time for him.
Take a pic and post it
pic or fake
Flyer is not really how you join.. It’s a network/know people kind of thing. Enjoy the benefits around it when in but on screen it’s all business and self awareness (throw in best positioning).
For real can people in the thread calling out this being a scam actually further elaborate as to why this is a scam??
Awesome!!
There is a tiny chance it could be legit depending on what company was handing out those fliers. I wouldn’t immediately assume scam, but would if they required you to pay to use their services.
I recall an Australian friend saying someone tried to recruit him for porn in a public restroom at Umeda station. Er, I mean that’s where they spoke. Hopefully the shoot would have been somewhere a little more glamorous.
100% real. The catch is, at this time they are only shooting gay porn and are looking for bottoms. ^^^^/s
Japan has a real labour shortage 😂
lol no they never approached me, but then again, I’m built like Gimli from Lord of the Rings
wake up missing kidney
As others have already mentioned this is actually a rather common scam!
Nope.
Definitely take, especially if you’re not Asian looking.
Foreign makes are nonexistent in Japanese porn.
Probably a police sting operation, hoping to entrap immigration violators with big dingdongs.
Did the guy’s outfit look exactly like something that the police imagine porn producers might wear if it was a The NHK dorama?
What you do is they take you to a dungeon set up in the basement of some office building in Kabukicho and some cameraman takes some photos of you. Unfortunately the actress couldn’t make it, so you’re by yourself in the dungeon.
You pay them 100man-en for the cameraman’s time, etc. Then they say they’ll act as your “agent” and try finding a video for you to star in and send you on your way.
Still waiting to hear back from them, hopefully I’ll hear back soon. I have no doubt this is legit because the cameraman had a professional looking camera. 100man-en is cheap when I consider I’m going to be neck-deep in pussy once they call me!
I remember I was approached a few years ago when I was just walking through Kawasaki station. I promptly told the dude to fuck off. They’re usually waiting outside the station waiting to pounce on girls, it’s gross.
i heard there’s a shortage of male porn stars in japan, but are they so desperate now they’re just flagging down randos in the streets? lol
Go for it. Your junk will be pixelated anyways.
plot twist: YOU are the ones getting rammed.
Some websites for the big labels have a male recruitment option..
Oh no! Where was that so I never end up there accidentally?!
Porn stars are hired by certified agents. Those agents have laws and regulations to follow, they are not going to grab random guys off the streets. Stay away from those scams. Stay safe!
I heard the Japanese port industry is lacking make “actors”, maybe it’s not as sinister as everyone else makes it seem
It’s quite simple. Any time anyone is trying to leverage male libido – it’s 100% a scam.
Are you Japanese passing? These days scounts in Shinjuku don’t even really try too hard to pick up foreigners to work in clubs because they now know foreigners can legally do night work so I have a super hard time they would pass around porn flyers to foreign looking girls. Post the flyer so people can check it.
