According to Japan’s Fuji News Network (FNN) on the 23rd, Japan’s newly revised "Civil Law Amendment" stipulates that the age of adults in Japan will be adjusted from 20 to 18 years old. The new law It will be officially implemented on April 1, 2022. Some Japanese politicians have proposed that the new law prevents high school students from appearing in adult videos (AV), and the legal imprisonment will disappear, which makes people worry that incidents such as forcing high school students to participate in AV will soon happen.
On the 23rd of this month, members of the Japanese non-partisan party gathered together and held a meeting to find ways to deal with it. At this meeting held in the Japanese Diet, member of the Constitutional Democratic Party Fumatsu Shiomura pointed out: "From April 1st, this kind of injury is likely to appear. High school students' AV may become popular. Japan may really become a' Adult film big country'. I will never allow this kind of embarrassing thing to happen."

According to the report, the current Japanese law stipulates that according to the "Child Pornography Prohibition Law", people under the age of 18 are not allowed to appear in AV , and for minors who have reached the age of 18 and 19, they can cancel a contract without parental consent by exercising the "minor's right to cancel" in the Civil Code.
However, after the implementation of the new "Civil Law", 18 years of age will be recognized as an adult, so high school students themselves can sign performance contracts even without the consent of their parents. In this way, some young people may be forced to appear in AV cases.

It is reported that the parties who have appeared in AV in the past also participated in the meeting. Social service activist and former AV actress "Walnut Aroma" said at the meeting: "I will feel confused and unconfident because of such a past (acting in AV). This will become an indelible scar in my life."
Other participants also pointed out that "may take advantage of the loopholes in the law to cause more victims", and called on all political parties in Japan to unite and promote legal rectification.
