A very interesting insight into Japanese politics. Here in Spain, our government wants to regulate prostitution, but luckily for us, they are top clients who spent thousands of dollars from public funds "researching" brothels.
hahaha😁
Yeah, its your hit latin blood that keeps you (still) save. But they will come for that soon enough
Feminism is a joke.
@@tiergeist2639 what do you mean "still" have? Spain is technically more latin than any south American country

Doing comedy in a language which is not your mother-tongue, for an audience which does not share your native culture, is super challenging. But you guys do it so well ! Furthermore, in addition to being funny, your videos are high quality edutainment: You educate about aspects of Japanese society which aren't conveyed through mainstream channels. And thanks a lot for teaching me the word クソフェミ "kusofemi". We have lots of those here in Norway - but we don't have a word for it, so I will start using the Japanese word. Keep up the good work ! 頑張って下さい！
ありがとう！
クソフェミという言葉是非、使ってください！笑
Comedy comes from suffering, so you only need to know what we commonly suffer to make others laugh...
Excellent!!
@@Meshida kuso-femi
It's really not that fucking hard. Try learning another language then trying comedy, then say that. I speak German as a second language and I had Germans rollin. I speak Tagalog as a third language and I have Filipinos rollin. Sir do you know what you are talking about?
What a world we live in. I never imagined I would be watching two guys rip each other apart in broken English whilst talking about AV laws. Just to be clear, I am impressed. Sometimes it’s difficult enough to be funny and informative in your own native language but you guys pull it off very well in English.
"The more Kuso Femi try to save the world, the more the world is destroyed"😂Hilarious but so true in this day and age.
😎😎😎
“S and M doesn’t have a season” brilliant 😆
As for the law…Japanese law sometimes seems like they are throwing darts with their eyes closed to solve a problem. They seem to forget the internet exists, they’re clearly still using VCRs
"I only pay comedians what they are worth" I felt Ken-sans pain
Ken-san proudly saying "S&M doesn't have a season" then later saying "I'm all for strict rules" with a smile kills me.
I can't get enough of the way he smiles when saying that. 😂
What's s & m?
Good thing I was out of the office for lunch when he made the S&M comment because I busted out laughing!
i nearly spat my drink out😂
"I don't watch AV videos... I just love collecting candles and ropes."
Tbh all I want is them to get rid of "pixelation laws"...It's getting tiring to have to mosaique my illustrations once I have to post them on Japanese based platforms.
Anyways, this is comedy gold xD
Agreed.
From what I’ve heard that probably won’t happen. I’ve only heard this once so if I explain it bad or am wrong just ignore it, but apparently in Japan showing your genitals in full detail is scene as obscene and immoral. So directors and actors probably wouldn’t even want to show their own stuff even if obscenity laws weren’t a thing.
@@buggyking2523 caribbean jav?
If the effort of curating illustrations is the problem, perhaps in the future, there's a program/AI that will automatically do that.
Link to your page? For research purposes, of course.
This is so hilarious. I can't imagine how hard it is to do comedy like this but you nail it perfectly every time !! Thanks for the laughs, from Norway
Arigato😄✊
Since I met Meshida, I have started laughing out loud a lot to his videos. Seriously, you make my day man, arigato for that
🥰🥰🥰
@@Meshida Looking over at Ken talking about knowing the law and nothing about videos cracked me up so hard....
Again, with laws like this, they always claim to do something good (helping women, protecting the environment, equality, etc.), and put a lot of irrelevant things into it, the only result come out of it is usually government gets more power, and the problem they claim to solve is not solved at all.
At this point I can't help but become cynical.
Yes!😢😢😢
There's a really good example of that happening here in america. Back in the early 90s the feminists argued that women needed special treatment in education to close an education gap which was already closed by that point. So, an entire generation of girls were given preferential treatment to the best education and as a consequence today the majority of University students are women. During that time there were many attempts from male students to call out the sexism for what it was and they were often silenced, but today now that we know better it's not really easy to reverse course. The problems that were created will likely take decades more to solve.
And even more classic example would be the prohibition of alcohol. To this day the demand for alcohol remains higher than it was before prohibition. Making something illegal pushes it Underground and makes it more accepted by the general population. If all pornography got pushed underground good luck regulating anything at all.
Ken is growing on me. I liked him before but he was great in this video
hahaha😁
I respect Meshida-san and Ken-san as entertainers, they show everything to entertain people.
Thanks!🥰🥰
@@Meshida you are welcome!

Thank you guys 🙏🏼😊
Specially Meshida. You had explained these laws very well in the conversation format is very helpful to understand this new laws crisp & clear... Earlier I wasn’t getting why there was huge outrage by AV industry against the new laws now I got it...
I too think that the law makers should have consultations with the industry so understand their problems also... as it’s their livelihood & they also support the economy.
✊😊
I wonder how different this video would be if it was recorded in Japanese with English subtitles.
Now part of the fun is seeing these guys read deadpan jokes from script.
hahaha😁
I like the passion in Ken's singing voice.
"a candle, a rope and queen" followed with a smirk gets me. hahaha
Please write your comment and if you want to know more about our adult video industry's problem, Please watch this video!
"The forced participation of women in adult videos | Japanese Porn Industry"

So according to this logic: if a doctor gets a job he/she should not work for the first month, and once he/she starts to work, he/she should not take care of patients for another 4 months ..... This law is ridiculous.....
If you sign a work-contract in any other job, that means that you have already thought thoroughly about working for that employer. And if somebody was "forced" to sign the contract, they won't care about the 1 month or 4 months rule anyways.... they'll just forge the papers that the employers sign to be dated back 5 months so that they can start making movies right away.....
And if they start forging dates that will just increase the chance of seeing underage models used.
finally someone explain this new rule thing in English. Up until now only relying on google translating news about this. Thank you Meshida-san.
😍
I love how deadpan you guys are lol. This is a great channel!
😍😍😍
Both of you guys never fail to bring a smile to my face even if I am feeling low. Both of you together are hilarious! 🤣
Arigato!
@@Meshida So in Japan they have to blur out the contact? Cant they get porn hub in Japan?
As a fellow researcher of AVs, I know how hard it is to research the topic through a friend, so I greatly appreciate your input on the subject.
bet your friend open his laptop and show it directly to you?
😁🤣
@@crunchynetto6979 That would be watching. Instead I ask that he prepares detailed 30 pages reports about the topic of the AV, the quality of the performance, the actors' appearance etc so that I can do my research properly. He's very much into it, but the difficult part comes from the fact that his writing is tight, but quite dry at times and I think this stops me from going deeper into the topic as a whole.
"the more Kuso Femi try to save the world the more the world is destroyed" - Ken-san
😍😍😍
i agree 👍
Both of em roasting each other is absolutely gold.
"S & M doesnt have a season!" Take that Meshida!!! Lolll this cracked me up.
And further " I am all for strict rules" lollll
I'm perplexed why the conversation is almost always on the safety and protection for female actresses but not male actors. I've heard anecdotes of men being coerced and abused in the industry by perpetrators of both genders. This phenomenon isn't just limited to Japan.
That's so true🥲
It's because the mission statement of feminism is to promote equal rights for women. Specifically. They have no interest in giving men rights that women have more of because that wouldn't benefit women.
Then again, laws like this are more likely to hurt women so it definitely benefits men to be excluded from laws like this. Men don't have to wait to work, men don't have to worry about being forced to contract with a company known to abuse them, etc. Only women are going to be hurt by this law which is so ironic because it means the feminists are now hurting their own interests.
@@Elliandr Sorry, but may you elaborate on why this is a backfire. Genuinely interested to know the reason.
Does this law still apply if Japanese AV companies fly their actresses and crew to say Thailand and shoot the JAV there? Also there's nothing stopping the JAV companies from just moving into Doujin AV websites and selling their stuff there through proxies instead. And I think these sites are incorporated/hosted in questionable foreign countries so they are out of the reach of Japanese law.
Hmmmm i mean they would need new alias for the girls i guess also maybe blur the face? I think is not as easy because even if it was sold in other regions they would have to be uncensored (huge plus) but also they would circle back to the internet where the actors would get exposed and then fined also what about the branding? Each video has a brand company so would they use fake names then??
@@mobious01 small mask, fake name, fake company.
In the US there are "Shell" companies that are just an empty name to hide behind. Often based in the Cayman Islands to avoid government involvement.
Idk if the rule strict to the citizen. I mean if you're a japanese actress but you made and sale outside the jurisdiction of the country, would it need to follow the rule or consider as illegal.
Porn is illegal in Thailand, some people have been heavily fined and/or arrested in Thailand for both professional productions as well as onlyfans content. It would have be elsewhere
😭😭😭
Love the skeptical look at him when he said he doesn't watch lol
Seems to me it's part of a larger goal to get folks to marry, by artificially making JAV difficult to make/produce.
My friend agrees with your views.
They're not that smart.....but Blackrock is.
More like chikan, sexual assault incidents, unwanted pregnancies etc will increase.
Arigato!😊✊
Most people are AV "researchers" whether they'd like to admit it or not.
I came into this thinking it was just a skit, but I got legit information and a skit. Amazing, and a shame to the industry that were already taking steps to keep their employees safe
"S&M doesn't have a season" is my Gospel now.
Ken's straight face is legendary!
omg this is gold, clicked 'cause it looked serious and informative but ended laughing so hard, loved it
Arigato😄✊
You guys are really funny and informative as well!
😁
LOL that look he gave him when he said he will talk about it based on what his "friend" told him about it.
Very entertaining video. Informative, and the banter between the two of you is great.
Meshida and Ken are so respectful of each other.
😎
"Kuso-femi" ... thank you for teaching me so much. i think most politicians don't understand the real world. Though many politicians probably skillfully employed their genitals in order to climb the ladder to success. I visited dirty, very dirty and unhealthy workplaces in the steel and aluminium industries. As a matter of fact every paid employment constitutes prostitution. It is shameful that people who provide a service in the sex or adult movie industry are stigmatised.
I was reading about "surrogate" mothers in Ukraine. I think their agents are pimps.
Arigato!😊✊
I like the awkward nature of this video! You chose your theme, committed to it and followed through to the end! BRAVO!
Arigato!!!
What if the company sells the completed video to an overseas distributor. Then, no possibility of video being recalled.
🧐🧐🧐🧐
My friend agrees with you guys: this law will probably have the same effect as the National Prohibition Act in the U.S. He also hopes your government finds a better solution before JAV fades away.
Naruhodo!

Arigato😍lol
Ouch... that fourth wall break hurt 😂
The ways Meshida-san and Ken-san roast each other are priceless. Specially because both of them are very active hentai culture researchers.🤣🤣🤣
You know, i´m sort of an JAV researcher myself... i watch this "private teacher" videos strictly for academic purposes and learned a lot about Japanese history, math and geography with it :) Still can´t believe that they really teach for half an hour before they get "distracted"
oh you're talking about 'your friend' right?
I wonder if we truly made this kind of video, let say real musical lesson for half an hour, and then the teacher and pupil get "distracted", this would be a hit! You know a guy who made it in p*rnh*b for uploading calculus class, right?
@@onisuryaman408 What if it is an actual loophole
Given the cost of production, the new law forgets that it isn't just the entertainers in the videos--it's the production staff too. The end result is that people relying on this work--whether as caterers, assistants, editors, camera crew, and so on--will lose income. Puritanical values and 4th wave feminism has no love for the working class, and is basically one big circle jerk that eliminates any facts that would contradict its paradigm. This is why examples like this law being passed without actually consulting the industry itself shows how they really don't care who gets screwed over for their agenda--and this isn't even considering how this also affects the consumers (like me!).
🤩🤩🤩
@@Meshida I think the period of time should be reduce to 2 weeks. 1 month without work or pay imo is not really do any good to one finance...Both for the actress and the production crews
sad thing indeed. Western garbage value
To be fair porn isn’t a real job and it’s part of the reason the west is collapsing due to moral decay. In addition porn won’t help get the births up in japan nor the rest of the world. It’s unnecessary. Just get laid 🤷♂️
Just hire older people also. No one is obligated to shoot only 18yo from now on
Lol , " FORCED TO PERFORM " my arse . 🤭😁😅😂😂😂😂
"so I asked my friend..." Yeah right xD
I asked a friend, and he said the correct translation of "kuso-femi" is "woke".
Yoh wow, that's a very strict law
Yeah, very strict, binding, and choking law
Yes!😭
Not sure if it was the goal, but the weird awkward deadpan humor style is amazingly funny :D
These first few minutes are hysterical! Your "friend" is your "banana" lmao
hahaha😁
This law is deeply penetrating AV companies business and basically bondaged them. AV companies, kuso-femi, and porn actors/actresses need to work together as 3p to make the law more relaxed, maybe add the porn viewers as well to make it 4p
MY fellow countryman, you are truly a cultured person
Yes!✊
deeply penetrating AV companies?
AV actresses have been deeply penetrates as well~
I don't think Meshida san is watching K-Dramas nowadays, he uploads videos on time 🤣 Nice video!!
I'm waching a tons of K-dorama!lol
Man i just love your comedic chemistry in between information/news videos😂😂❤️❤️😅
The video introduction had me in stitches! Very funny, I just can't breathe :)
Arigato!😍
You guys remind me when I worked for a Japanese firm. On the outside, its hard to tell about the amount of humor that Japanese people have, its soo contained until I met a few Kansai friends who really let it out after drinking. OMG its..good to have soooo much laughs. Hang out with the Japanese for a long time, and the humor comes out. LOL
Everyone's sexual interest may be weird or alarming to others. You both are funny comedians. Timing is important to comedy and you both are giri giri good. Lol

Been following your channel for quite some time now, and I'm loving your videos! Love your content, Meshida! Also when paired with Ken Suzuki, it gets even funnier. 😂😂
I am in favor of using more experienced, reliable, and dependable actresses and actors and fewer newbies.
🥹
This law is downright authoritarian.
Welcome to America...oops, I meant Japan.
Well, Ken looks like a researcher of new adult videos.
hahaha😁
Ken Suzuki is ABSOLUTELY a researcher of new adult videos :D These videos are hilarious!
It took me only 3 seconds to start video
Love you Meshida♥️
Arigato!!!!
These laws seem well-intentioned but destructive to the industry. These kind of industries really suffer because no one will advocate for them due to the stigma. Sad to hear Japan also has problems with kuso-femi.
If you didn't already know pornography can be extremely harmful to mental health and if you didn't already know japan has some extreme social issues that are ignored instead of addressed.
Ken-san has grandkids, Meshida-san does not, Meshida-san doesn't even have kids, only granny... Ken-san wins.
You guys' banter was savage in this one. Both hilarious and informative.
Thanks!
Meshida and Ken are the best…and of course we all have a “friend” who watches porn and then, for some reason, tells us all about it😳😳🤣🤣
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣
Casper the friendly ghost XD
😍😍😍😍😍
I wonder if we'll ever get to see Ken-san being so pissed that he starts beating Meshida-san on screen (just for the comedic effect of course) lmaooooo
This sarcastic delivery is brilliant!
arigato😍
ken-san: I don't watch adult videos
meshida-san: staaaaaaaaaaaaare~
One thing is pretty sure now , retention in Japanese adult industry will be at its peak. No one is going to loose their jobs even in recession but new recruits are going to be benched.
🥺🥺🥺
great video, i did not stop laughing, surely telling jokes in another language is difficult but both did it very well.
"S & M doesn't have a season."
But it does come in floods and leaves in droughts.
hahaha😁
If the producers are taking such extreme measures to protect actresses, does that mean they can stop censoring their material with mosaics? That would increase the value of their product, and help compensate for the extra expense associated with these strict new laws.
I wasn't interested in the conversation I was just interested in the insults they were throwing at each other so funny 😁
hahaha😁
I love the suspicious look Meshida san gives Ken san in this video. 😂 Also, Meshida san’s laugh after he insult’s Ken san is fantastic!
researcher of Japanese adult videos, i think we have a few millions of these in the world
Next law maybe is pixilating the entire screen, and putting audio filters as well so the actors would sound like chipmunks.
Actresses already sound like that.
This video made a great point about the ignorance and arrogance of those politicians who created this stupid law in the name of justice. It would be really bad if more actresses ending up flooding to the Doujin AV where the true abuse and exploitation would occur. Can the AV industry united and stand up to start a campaign to educate people for this issue like you just did in this video? Politicians always afraid of bad polling and pressure universally.
Yes!
Why is flooding Doujin AV would result in true abuse and exploitation? Sorry whats the difference of normal AV and Doujin AV?
This is so inventively inept it is adorable.
These guys are very funny! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Don't feel alone Meshida-san, I love my jav milf genre. Give me a video with Maki Hojo, Rei Kitmija, Ai Sayama, Yui Hatano, Chisato Shoda, and of course Hitomi Tanaka any day of the week over the younger performers.
Yeah my friend likes those performers too...and Ayumi Shinoda.
But didn't those start at a very young age?
That's the point.
Most didn't debut at 30
@@Timbone07 I think you miss the point, Slightly. I'm just saying I prefer the more mature ladies than the young starters. That's all
@@Blagon I didn't miss the point.
My point is that these mature ladies didn't debut at 30 most of the time. You cannot definitely say that their start wasnt exploitation when they were very young.
The law isn't fluid but let's not pretend that MILF equates to good.
I recommend that you watch The Naked Director.
Actresses always have positive things to say until they retire.
To me the biggest issue isn't any of this. It is the fact that retired performers cannot have regular jobs or live normal lives.
They are called stars but don't treated as such.
It's an empty title
@@Timbone07 clearly you did miss the point because I'm not talking about the law just the running joke that Meshida-san likes the older ladies. So do I and that's it. You took it to a level that it wasn't meant to go lol
Ken’s into _all_ the freaky stuff, and he’s happy about it. 🤣
You guys obviously really enjoyed making this video. I love your jokes
😍😍😍
This was hilarious. Informative, and the roasts were 🔥
Arigato
I talked to my friend and he is a big fan of milfs as well. He wonders if we will see a sharp decline in the production of new content, and how that might affect the perception of the law and maybe encourage them to change it.
I'm amazed the industry hasn't thrown some bribes to politicians to get this to go away
@@locusmortis Unfortunately, it's more likely that some companies, particularly the doujin companies, are just ignoring the law.
@@joelgray4403 I don't disagree with you, it's always a tiny minority ruining things for everyone, it's a pity that the japanese government is choosing the sledgehammer response to the problem.
This is going to have so many negative effects, it will probably benefit the doujin companies while hurting the legit companies. Scripted drama films will suffer, after all why put a budget into a film that could get nixed at a moments notice? There will probably be an increase in cheap gonzo movies unfortunately.
The big exclusive actresses like Mikami Yua will be ok but this law will be awful for the "planning girls", because it will make group and harem films untenable.
Feels like the law would hit the already regulated part of the industry harder than the actually high - risk part.
Great format. So funny. Thank you.

@@Meshida It's actually energizing for you, right hentai-sensei?
Your channel is awesome, informative as well as funny.
🥰🥰🥰
Definitely way too strict. I think the laws should only apply to people new to the industry.
1 month of thinking time for your very first contract is a good idea, because undoubtedly companies really pressure you to signing stuff. And I think 1 month before releasing it (for first time as well) is also good, and maybe a requirement that the actress/actor is allowed to view the video before release too.
I don't think an actress/actor should be able to stop distribution (since it's not really their property anymore), and it's already on the internet, which only hurts the company.
🤩🤩🤩
In my opinion, the whole "I REGRET WHAT I DID" part should be scrapped (its too risky for businesses), and the replaced with far better pre-contract information similar to how here in Canada a "Health and safety course" is required prior to work on construction sites. Our course is close to 10 hours, covering most of the ways you can get maimed or killed.
- So likewise, a pre-contract information course should be mandatory for all AV actresses and actress, informing them all the ways their lives could change, with real life examples, and also offering information into current career market data. A young woman shouldn't be lulled into AV under the pretense of making tens of thousands if a few videos in, she's likely to stop and have her life screwed up for it.
This would have the benefit of offering higher job security for better known AV workers by diminishing the volume of "dumb" newcomers.
