The price of Japanese people is falling” and “10 million yen is confiscated at customs”…! A Sexy Actress Reveals the Frontline of “Overseas Migrant Work

Went abroad to earn money for marriage and clothes…
A young female influencer who had been gaining popularity on Chinese social networking sites suddenly disappeared after traveling to Cambodia, where she was offered a high-paying job, and was found emaciated on a local street.
After being taken into custody with injuries to her legs and no money on her person, she reportedly returned home with the support of the Chinese Embassy. In the background, there are dangers surrounding high-paying overseas projects and migrant workers, and the “easy money story” through social networking sites is creating new risks.
We asked Ms. A, an active sexy actress who says she has “been to 11 countries so far,” about the “reality of overseas migrant work.
I was there most often from 2019 to 2021. It was tough, but I made a lot of money.”
The reason why Ms. A started going abroad to work was because she was a host.
She said, “While working in the sexy industry, which has its ups and downs, I lost my mental balance a little bit.
She was earning about 2 million yen a month as a stand-alone sexy actress, but she laughed, saying it was “not enough at all” to play hard at the host club.
I suddenly needed 10 million yen to throw a champagne tower for my designated host,” she said. I asked a friend about it, and she told me that I could earn money by “going abroad. He told me.
The friend was not a host fanatic, but a lover of Lolita fashion. She was going abroad to buy expensive clothes.
Many people may think that all girls who go abroad to work are host-crazed, but there are also [normal] girls like her. There was even a girl who went abroad to save money for her wedding without telling her fiancé (laughs). That’s how flatly there are women who work abroad more than people think.”
Lolita’s friend introduced her to a Chinese female agent.
Lolita’s friend introduced me to a Chinese female agent, who was “very famous in that area, and I think all the women who were migrating overseas were connected to her (laughs). My first migrant destination was the United States. I went there with a friend, but because of the COVID-19 crisis, it was very difficult to enter the country. I was supposed to say, “I’m planning to study abroad next year and came here to observe,” but I was detained for three hours because they said, “You’re not even a teenager, so it’s strange that you’re studying abroad. In the end, I managed to enter the country through a simultaneous call with a Japanese interpreter.
Surrounded by 10 policemen…
Ms. A.’s first migrant job was in the United States. He worked at three brothels, two in New York and one in Boston, and recalls that from the first one, there was a parade of events that would have been unthinkable in Japan.
I was taking customers in a room in a hotel, and the employees there were shooting each other with tasers and guns, not for fun or to kill …… people. I was so surprised that I didn’t have time to feel scared. It was a bizarre sight.”
Basically, foreign customers are not interested in sex, and “it’s easy for them to leave when they’re done,” according to Mr. A. However, there were some customers who showed up with a bouquet of flowers.
I thought he was a strange guy,” said A. “He looked like he was going to propose to me. Later, he picked another girl, and she stole 500,000 yen from his wallet. He was furious and filed a complaint with the FBI. The store was busted.
By the time he was arrested, he was working at the second store, so he was spared any trouble, but “if I had been in the wrong, I might have been arrested,” he said with a wry smile.
The second store operated out of an apartment building, and I lived and worked there. The manager there? Even if I ordered an Uber, if a customer came in during that time of the day, I had to serve them first. When I went to the door to pick up the food, it was already gone.
I was locked up in that apartment for a week, and the number of people I served in a day was like 15. By the time I returned home, I was skinny. I made ridiculous money, but I had no human rights.”
He worked 36 days in a row and earned “a little over 7 million yen. He packed all the money in a carry-on bag, returned home, and converted it into Japanese yen at Nishi-Shinjuku, where he lived at the time.
I would never have thought of that now. I would have been caught at customs! Not a few kids were found at the airport and had all their money confiscated. The largest I’ve heard of is 10 million yen. It’s tough to have a lot of money you made selling your body taken away in an instant. ……”

Mr. A himself has never had his paycheck confiscated at an airport, but he says, “I’ve had many close calls.
When my friend B and I went to the U.S. to work in 2020, we couldn’t get in touch with each other from the time she was supposed to have arrived at the airport in Japan. I later found out that she had been detained at the airport for 24 hours and deported to the US.
So I was extremely careful on the day I was returning home; they didn’t say anything at the x-ray checkpoint and I was able to just beep my passport and go through without incident. ……”
He said that he has a [rule] to erase all correspondence and photos with scouts and agents in case something goes wrong. He put the erased contact information back once, told them that he was ready to leave the country, erased it again, and was about to board the plane when – Mr. A was surrounded by about 10 police officers.
I felt my blood boil,” he said. They suddenly called me by my full name and said, ‘We’ve got B. They even showed me pictures of customers they had served and said, ‘You know this guy, don’t you? If you don’t tell us the truth now, you’re going to be in big trouble! He was all over me.
But Ms. A refused to talk.
He just kept saying, ‘Vacation! Friends, Ken, House! Swimming! Swimming! Even the staff of the airport company came out and made a big fuss. They looked at everything in my bag and mistook my e-cigarette for marijuana.
The argument went on for five hours, but the police finally relented and said, “That’s enough ……,” after I consistently told them that I was not a migrant but had been swimming at my friend Ken’s house.
B-chan was not allowed to leave the U.S. for 10 years, but I am not to blame. But I truly felt that it was hard …… to go abroad to work until I felt like this.”
What happened to the pay? When I asked, “What happened to the pay?
I asked him what happened to the paycheck. I knew that the money would be confiscated when I left Japan, so I made an “underground transfer” before returning home. I would transfer the money once to the agent’s Chinese account, have it converted into Japanese yen, and receive the cash in Japan. They would charge me a 10% commission, but it was better than losing everything.
Mr. A is also a migrant worker in Cambodia, and when he saw the news, he said, “I thought it was some kind of story.
‘In Cambodia, there is a special zone where people are bribing the government? There was a place like that, and I went there, so it wasn’t dangerous. I don’t know the details, but it was a place where the government was watching and only rich Chinese would come.
But they were very strict with the girls, and when I arrived at the store, they took off my shoes and said, ‘Small! I was rejected. My friend who accompanied me was also rejected because she had acne.
I was made to wear 20cm heels and sent to another store, but there were about 50 girls lined up in a row. I had to be taken out to work, so I could only earn 20,000 or 30,000 yen a day.
So when I heard that I was going to Cambodia to work, I thought, ‘Why am I going to a country where I can’t make that much money?

Mr. A also experienced the “Dubai case,” which became a hot topic for a while, and says that his partner was not an aristocrat, but a Chinese man in Dubai.
The first day was a sex deal, but the next day I was asked to go to KTV, which is a cabaret club in Japan. KTV is a cabaret club in Japan, and I’m a migrant because I want to have sex and go home as soon as possible. Drinking alcohol and waiting on customers is not for me. So I refused, but then I was under a lot of pressure and they said, ‘There’s a Chinese VIP there, so go! I was told to go to …….”
When he reluctantly went to the VIP room, he found a large quantity of drugs scattered on the table.
“There was an unbelievable amount of ketamine and cocaine on the table. There was also a ‘balloon’ with laughing anesthesia in it. I was almost drugged, but then I realized, ‘Isn’t Dubai the death penalty for drugging people? I was so scared that I ran away.
He pretended to go to the bathroom and escaped, but KTV staff came to the hotel where he was staying, banged on the door with great force, and shouted at him , “The VIP guests are angry, so you have to pay 500,000 yen! They were shouting at him, saying, “The VIP guests are angry and they have to pay 500,000 yen!
He said, “Basically, there are a lot of drug addicts in foreign countries. When I went to Manila, I was forced to use drugs, and when I refused, they pulled a pistol on me and raped me by two men. ‘ and that was the end of it.
However, even after such a frightening experience, Ms. A continued to work abroad for a while. What was the reason?
Because I could earn money. If I was in Japan, I would take a break if I didn’t feel like it, but that is not the case when I was working overseas. That’s why I could save money. Above all, overseas clients don’t require foreplay or afterplay, so I can easily handle a large number of them.
Saying this, she continued, “I don’t go there anymore. When I asked her if it was because of the risks involved, she quietly shook her head.
When I first started going overseas to make money, I could easily earn 400,000 yen or 500,000 yen in one day. However, the number of girls going abroad increased every year, and the number of girls selling at low prices also increased, so the unit price per Japanese worker itself went down. The last time I went to Singapore in 2025, it was 70,000 yen for four days (laughs). Unless you are a tall Chinese bombshell, it is no longer a market where Japanese women can make bomb money.”
In the end, Ms. A said with a straight face, “You can never make a lot of money with ease.
