In Japan, their porn industry is having a contest among the different studios. 16 companies are chipping in to a pot of 2.5b yen ($250,000) and will produce one movie as their entry, which is released in May.

Here's the kicker: the winner is picked based on SALES (so fuck you, downloaders) and customer reviews. It's all done through an Internet site.

Each studio makes a special movie as its specific entry into the competition, so they all put their best foot forward and try to do something unique. S1, the Vivid of Japan, did a 4 hour harem movie with 12 of its girls doing 3 and 4-on-1 scenes. Normally, an S1 movie stars one girl and she is in every scene, so for the studio to put 12 of its girls in one movie is way out of the ordinary. Here is the group photo shot of the girls in their matching outfits and here is the trailer, featuring an insane amount of squirting all over the camera lens.

Now, let's put aside the opinions here about the mosaic in JAV and spare me any more racist comments about Japanese men and discuss the concept. Could we get the American studios to chip into a pot, put forward its best product, and leave it to the masses to BUY and review the title? Remember, unit sales are part of determining the winner.

Could we do it?

It's a publicity stunt more than anything......

all of the companies will get lot of free promotion from this "contest"

appeals to competitive nature of many in Japanese society and makes fans feel like they really matter....

I feel that, as a mostly racially(and ethnically) homogeneous society, all forms of japanese porn or erotica featuring japanese women HAS to be creative to really stand out. this creativity carries over into promotional stunts like this one.

I don't think companies here would feel the need to do it....public here buys garbage and continues to buy garbage...

You do realize by what you're saying it's a pretty strong indictment of the US and the porn industry as being lazy and uncompetitive or desirous to excellence? And that the fans don't give a shit?

Only thing that bothers me more is I agree with you. :(

Necessity is the mother of invention....

If you can continue to make money selling variations of the same product....what's the incentive to try anything different?

The vast majority of porn buyers can't/won't pay more than $20/DVD, and will continue to get what they pay for.
