Who is Eimi Fukada? I think she's been on a total cheat code ever since her debut in November 2018 with Premium, like some kind of immortal player who's always winning. How impressive is she? In the first half of 2019 sales charts, even Hashimoto and Miyuki-sensei combined couldn't touch her! Just six months after debuting, she dominated the top spots on all the industry rankings! You could say Eimi Fukada is the darkest dark horse to emerge since the industry's low point in 2016—her level of dominance is on par with Nana Saeki winning the FANZA 2019 Best Actress award; it's practically unprecedented in the industry, and no one can really explain why. As for why we say Eimi-sensei has changed the standards of the dark side, the drivers will understand once they watch. Every year, about four or five thousand performers choose to retire, and another four or five thousand decide to debut! As a beacon on the path of growth for gentlemen, Japan's dark side has always been the top choice for essential reading and learning among gentlemen. Many people often have three big questions in their hearts: 1: How much is the dark side's production value? 2: How many works are released in Japan each year? 3: How many secrets does the dark side hide? The total number of female performers in the dark side is probably around 8,000 to 10,000, but half of them get replaced every year. This number might seem shocking, but it's actually not that many. What's shocking is that the average gentleman can only remember and like about seven or eight of them, and even seasoned enthusiasts might only favor a few dozen. This means most of them are completely unknown to us. However, when some highly qualified applicants later have second thoughts and don't want to enter the industry, agencies will have these goddesses temporarily shoot gravure or photo sets. The purpose isn't to let them comfortably become gravure models. It's to temporarily soothe the goddesses, slowly brainwash them, and ultimately lead them into the dark side. So, who gets weeded out by the dark side and can't even pass the interview stage? A dark side agent once said: The dark side might lack a lot of things, but it sure has plenty of crazies. Many girls don't have suitable jobs and think the dark side is an easy way to make money, but now entering the industry comes with a lot of pressure—if your works don't sell well, you're out, and honestly, the dark side isn't short on people anymore. One sensei has said: Back in the day, the barriers to the dark side were low; as long as the girls had the guts, they could make it, but it's different now. More and more people want to get in, so now the industry is the one doing the picking—if your qualifications aren't up to par, you won't even get through the door! The dark side needs girls who are incredibly beautiful, with great bodies, stunning faces, excellent charisma, and that star quality. The dark side needs girls who are approachable and can fully embody the works. Secondly, the dark side needs unusual backgrounds, including resumes; it wants girls whose structures are different from the norm. In particular, Eimi Fukada's emergence has led companies to add another professional skill to their recruitment standards: like Eimi Fukada, having strong promotional abilities and being able to effortlessly use social platforms. Promoting themselves has become a key consideration for companies when recruiting new talent. That's why we often see girls who are extremely beautiful getting rejected by companies, while some who aren't that attractive end up being exceptionally recruited. This is also why many people who only become good-looking through later improvements can directly debut at the top-tier companies in the pyramid. Eimi Fukada's rise has changed the industry. Perhaps some people question the companies, wondering why they'd recruit female performers who don't seem to match their aesthetics, but this is already after thousands of selections, tailored to the drivers' preferences.
