Reader’s Question:
There are AV actresses who claim to be from Okinawa, but is it often the case that this is not true? I’ve heard that it’s common for them to set a different origin to avoid being recognized. I think a lot of them are actually from Tokyo because AV production companies are concentrated there. Is it rare for someone
from Okinawa to genuinely state that they are from Okinawa in their profiles? There is a high risk of being recognized by classmates, and I can’t help but feel that there are specific circumstances behind this.
Questions About AV Actresses from Okinawa
Recently, while talking with a friend, an interesting topic about the hometowns of AV actresses came up. I was particularly struck by the number of people claiming to be from Okinawa. It made me wonder if they are often not actually from there.
The Risk of Being Recognized and Setting Origins
Since my friend has experience in the industry, I was able to hear his perspective. He mentioned that when starting out, it’s often up to the individual to choose their name and place of origin. Those who are okay with being recognized sometimes share their true hometowns, but those who are motivated by money tend to create more random backgrounds. Considering the risk of being recognized by classmates, it made sense to me.
Concentration of AV Production in Tokyo
It’s understandable that many claim to be from Tokyo since that’s where most AV production companies are located. Claiming to be from Okinawa might also serve to add a unique character or attract the audience’s interest. When I think of the beautiful oceans of Okinawa, it does feel somewhat romantic.
Interesting Episodes
Looking back, I remember visiting an AV shooting set with a friend. I was surprised to see how genuinely happy the actresses looked while filming, realizing that they were quite serious about their work. The sight of them laughing together during breaks felt like a scene from friends hanging out, which was heartwarming. Of course, it’s important to set a false origin to protect their privacy. Considering this, I gained a deeper understanding of the various circumstances behind their choices.
