Modeling in Japan?
Would a modeling Japanese agency ever sign a foreigner? With a renewable visa? Or a permanent residency? Would chances increase with a good resume (ex. recent signings with Candian agencies)? Or would it just never possibly happen? |
You seem pretty mis-informed about the business. Modeling agencies here MOSTLY sign foreigners.

Are you serious?? Gosh. No, you're right. I know absolutely nothing about modeling in Japan or anywhere overseas. Thank you. That's positive reinforcement, at least. |
Just a few actual agencies... Google it and you'll find tens more.

I'm actually a little curious about this, myself--the topic just piques my curiosity--but are the agencies over there the same as here? Like, do you need all formally taken pictures and an extravagant portfolio, or...? Just interested. :3

Non-Asian foreigners or foreigners in general? |

Also it depends on what sort of modeling. I saw on クイズ雑学王 the other day that only caucasian models were used in women's underwear ads in catalogues in Japan so that Japanese customers can focus on the underwear (knowning that caucasians have a different body type) instead of comparing their body shapes to the ad models had they chosen Japanese model instead. |

Because that really doesn't make marketing sense. At least not in the West. |
