When it comes to actress happenings--real or rumors--our writing staff knows way more than I do. Pretty much all my industry relations are between studios (signing licensing contracts and receiving data basically). But yea, rumor hat on, Dubai is a big tourist location but it's not necessarily one I can imagine your average Japanese person being interested in going to. Thus, if she really is there, given the overall rumors surrounding influencers and the like going there as 'guests' of rich residents...

Yuu's actions are quite weird. Perhaps we should reach out to readers in Dubai to see if she's spotted there as rumors may say.

Correct, about 490 yen. DMM always comes out on top.

DMM's cut stays the same though the math may get fuzzy when they have those 100 yen sales which are almost pointless because the AUTH fees alone for a credit card pretty much negate any profit made (when R18 was a thing and when they had 100 yen sales, we received 1 cent for every sale).

DMM is the problem few studios will say out loud because it's what pays a lot of their bills. But yes, if DMM had a conscience and lowered its cut to a max of 50%, the industry would be in a much better place. It's silly really because there have been a few defections in the last few years. Most notably, Hot Entertainment seems to focus first and foremost on H-Next followed by other DMM-like platforms and if anything, is producing even more content now across their labels. Samoari I am told runs a tight ship (ie, inexpensive) and the content makes enough of a profit where the studios are happy enough to keep giving him work. Eventually...hopefully...people will get bored so we can move on to the next fad of random glory holes in movies with otherwise totally vanilla plots.
