Japan News and Discussion
The porn production industry is now in a chaotic situation. Producers have been arrested for filming porn in public places in an attempt to “differentiate” their films from competitors. However, police are cracking down on such excesses. Earlier this year, in one well-publicized case, porn producers and an actress were arrested for filming at a McDonald’s outlet in Saitama Prefecture.
On May 27, police raided a porn production agency for allegedly filming in the rear of a dump truck in Shibuya. The back was covered by plastic curtains but three cameras filmed the action from 20-meter-tall surrounding buildings. Passersby couldn’t see the actress, but police say people in buildings could see the action, which was the reason for their raid.
Insiders say “public exposure” is one of the most popular porn genres, but they are almost always filmed illegally.
Porn critic Manzo Karita says, “If porn is filmed in public places, it will sell well. Some producers film porn at convenience stores and platforms at train stations. So we can expect production agencies to keep coming up with more outrageous ideas for locations.”
A spokesperson for the agency Hot Entertainment, which was raided by police, says, “We thought that as long as the truck was covered, it would be alright. I guess we were too optimistic in our thinking.”
Other agencies say Hot Entertainment is famous for its unique porn ideas and it often holds seminars for porn producers. But insiders think they were too unique this time. (Translated by Taro Fujimoto)

Personally, I'd be offended. I don't have anything against porn per-se, but as the old addage goes, "There is a time and a place for everything". For those that like to get their rocks off in public places, go ahead, but be prepared for the consequences. Its times like those that I would become a rage-a-holic.... I can't live w/o my rage-a-hol!
Personally I don't like watching other people doing it in front of me. Kinda like someone shoving a show you don't wanna watch suddenly in your face plus smells and sounds that really shouldn't be in front of unwilling spectators.

So THAT is why one filming group were cought in a public greasy spoon place, possibly McDonalds, around a few weeks ago? Little did I realize that “public exposure” was so demanding in the porn world.

Headline should read:
Porn producers look for cheaper locations in land of questionable morals.
That's what it's really about, lower costs for those with small budgets. Good luck to them though. I'll take 500.

I personally belive that the Japanese Government should tighten the gripp on such action! we realy care about our next generation, what will thay say about the generation of their fathers and mothes? that we were SEX fenatics? we shold teach morality to our children, and teach them to reapect each other, and SEX is not an industry!

Nothing against porn per se, but, yeah, there's a time and a place for everything. While walking through a public station or sitting down for lunch aren't one of them. You just don't do crap like that where kids are likely to be present. That these guys don't really care because of the potential profit to be made is what irritates me the most. Hope the cops nail them each and every time and I hope the public says something anytime confronted with it.

There was a case in Cebu where these guys went to the open beach and started filming their sickening movie...too bad for them, Phil police are not that forgiving and made sure they were placed in a Phil jail with all thugs and criminals in it. Hehehe, thats what I call daring.
