Popular Japanese adult film actress Kahoku Saika has been increasingly active in Taiwan, and is set to hold a fan meeting in Taipei on September 20. The highest-tier VVIP ticket is priced at NT$23,800, sparking widespread discussion. According to the event organizer, VVIP benefits include participation in on-site games and interactions, a dinner with Kahoku Saika, a 2-minute one-on-one conversation, intimate photo sessions, and a personalized voice recording. Compared to her Japanese events, where top-tier tickets cost around 50,000 yen (approximately NT$10,000), the price in Taiwan is more than double.
The Taipei fan meeting emphasizes high interactivity, with the VVIP package being the most eye-catching. Fans not only get close encounters with Kahoku Saika but also enjoy a shared dinner, a 2-minute private chat, photo opportunities, and voice recording sessions—elevating the standard fan meeting experience beyond typical photo ops and autographs. For die-hard fans, the chance to have longer, more personal interaction is highly appealing, though the NT$23,800 price tag has led many to call it prohibitively expensive.
While Kahoku Saika’s event pricing in Japan is around 50,000 yen (about NT$10,000), the Taipei VVIP ticket at NT$23,800 is significantly higher. Although differences in event content, venue, logistics, and production costs make direct price comparisons difficult, the fact that 'Taiwan tickets cost twice as much as Japan' has become one of the most talked-about aspects of this event, prompting discussions on how far fan-driven economies can stretch when adult entertainers host events abroad.
Kahoku Saika has recently increased her presence in Taiwan. Last month, she attended the 2026 TRE Taipei International Adult Expo and brand events. Earlier this month, she made a surprise appearance at Tianmu Baseball Stadium and served as a one-day store manager, expanding her activities beyond adult entertainment. Having won the annual top-selling actress title for two consecutive years, she is affectionately dubbed the 'most beautiful woman in the world' by fans and widely regarded as the successor to Mika Shimoshi.
However, amid her aggressive expansion into the Taiwanese market, recent tabloid reports claim she has made negative remarks about前辈 Mika Shimoshi, junior actress Seto Kanna, and some fans—contrasting sharply with her sweet public image. These claims remain unverified by Kahoku Saika herself. Regardless of the controversy, her continuous activities in Taiwan and the VVIP ticket price exceeding NT$20,000 reaffirm her strong market appeal and media presence in the region.
