Veteran gravure idol Miho Abe reveals past porn offers

The veteran gravure idol Miho Abe has said that she has twice turned down lucrative offers to appear in porn.

The model and actor shared on X on November 3 some information about the past offers in response to an impertinent fan (whose original post has been deleted).

I turned down offers of an adult contract for ¥100 million two years ago and ¥30 million 10 years ago, but I do what I do because I love it. Of course, it’s a job that’s for the money, but please don’t be rude to adult actresses. It’s a very difficult job, and it’s completely different from what I do. Leave me alone.

When some people expressed surprise at the forthrightness of her post, she had this response.

You could say that he was genuinely concerned about my future, but it could also be seen as a lack of respect for sexy actresses [porn stars] and belittling adult content. He is someone who posts only obscene things, so I would like to take this opportunity to ask everyone to reconsider. My regards to the actresses and those involved.

You don’t want to mess with Miho Abe — she’s also a wrestler!

While we might treat Miho’s claim with caution, the numbers indicate just how tempting it must be for cash-strapped gravure or music stars to make the side step into JAV via an offer from Muteki or another production company, like the gradol Kaoru Yasui did a few years ago.

Miho is known for her candor. When she made her full-frontal nude debut earlier this year for her second photo book, she was upfront with the fact that she was doing it to raise money for her family to buy a grave.

Now aged 37, Miho is an alluring, shapely jukujo with a fantastic body. She has been in the industry for two decades, having made her debut in 2007. She has been freelance for several years and makes money through releasing My Fans content as well as erotic DVDs (the cover for her latest is pictured).

As such, these kinds of dramatic confessions get her posts noticed and potentially boost her fandom.

Thanks to her strident character and diligent freelancing, Miho Abe is someone with a built-in platform, which is attractive to porn producers wanting to secure a guaranteed number of DVD sales and streaming purchases.
