    New AV Law

    Seriously, where were all these actresses tweeting about the new law a few months ago when it was still working its way through the Diet? I'm happy they are doing it now, but too little too late. Finally when it may impact scheduling and their pay, they start talking. Credit to Sakura...

    New AV Law

    I don't think having her porn on legit platforms hurt AiU from getting a YT. I think she delisted just for wanting more control of her image (and to hell with the studios who spent hundreds of thousands getting her to where she is today, apparently).

    New AV Law

    The elephant in the room is DMM taking a whopping 70% cut on average that this law will do nothing to change. Studios pay as much as they're able to. They're not making bank. Agencies take around 50% which is a big cut of actress pay, but they do take care of almost every single need of the...

    New AV Law

    There already are a multitude of laws in Japan protecting worker rights. This goes above and beyond and pretty much makes any person who appears in front of the camera a god. As others have noted, if one performer on a whim can tank a title, it would be increasingly risky to hire new faces...

    New AV Law

    Honestly, I see the industry retreating some from panic mode in the not too distant future. Delistings still are quite rare and this law probably won't change things. It's more likely than not it will not be much enforced. Japan won't become like Korea because there is no fundemanetal...

    New AV Law

    Correct, the law is pretty much useless for what it is actually trying to do because it is looking to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

    New AV Law

    I will eat a metaphorical shoe if articles (?) 17-19 are carried out in any meaningful, noticeable way across the entire country (let alone Tokyo). My belief at the moment is this law will cause some short term issues with mainstream JAV, but will be nearly forgotten by the powers that be...

    Any series like GirlsDelta but with hair?

    I wish. They shoot great content, but last time I was a subscriber you couldn't even download individual images, but only entire image sets. Very annoying if you just want a few images and not the whole thing. Also, the library rotation for older content is way too restrictive. Simply giving...

    What features/services would you like to have on R18.com?

    lots of titles purged from R18.com?

    What's being censored is up to their billers and how R18 will implement it. I'm certain they already made note of 'suspect' movies via keywords and simply clicked a few buttons in their back-end to (temporarily?) mass delist movies that have those keywords and now will look them over before...

    lots of titles purged from R18.com?

    Electromog: Visa/MC rules are for adult content are worldwide. That Japan has gotten an exemption to allow some of the harder content we've seen for years has always been odd to say the least. Whether we're seeing Visa/MC clamp down on this or some type of platform self-censorship to prevent...

    Any legal "JAV netflix"

    R18 is your best bet as noted above. Netflix prices + legal JAV streaming (or adult for the most part) won't happen. Economies of scale and the fact that even whales in adult be it in the west or Japan pay magnitudes more in card processing fees than mainstream companies like Netflix.

    What The Heck Is Up With Miki Sunohara?

    Miki is one of my favorite actresses and is by far has some of the best actual dramatic chops in the industry. Nevertheless, she's been active for close to a decade and once you push into your 30's and aren't already an A-lister (see Hitomi and the like), you're sadly going to get less 'ideal'...

    Jav decline in the last years.

    Less money being made equates to studios erring on the side of caution producing content that has a higher chance of selling while also costing less to produce. Case in point: V&R Produce from its creation through about 2015 (there's your date!) and then from 2015'ish onward.

    Are gcolle videos uncensored after you purchase them?

    I believe they are based in Japan so that should answer your question. HOWEVER, given that the content is mostly pure amateur, I expect the mosaic to either be super duper thin or massive and horrifically applied (I once saw an amateur doujin JAV where during the sex scene literally the bottom...

    What do you think about the renewed R18.com product page?

    I have to agree regarding the image gallery (on desktop at least). It's kind of clunky now compared to before. It reminds me a lot of FC2. And since since not all images are the same resolution, you'd be scrolling down seeing random-sized images which is not visually pleasing.

    What do you think about the renewed R18.com product page?

    (On desktop) Overall I like it, but what I’m not that fond of is how the image galleries pushed lower and seems to open its own mini-window. For screenshots at least, I think how it was integrated up top in the previous design was more user friendly. PS, the video player has a bug where if you...

    What happen to First Star?

    First Star/Mercury like Prestige and other studios simply pulled out of DMM to focus on other platforms because the cut wasn't worth it. Losing R18 access was a sad casualty.

    How long does it take to subbed your JAV movies?

    Issues we have to take into account are CPS, the fact that many subscribers don’t speak English as a first language, the fact that most are watching JAV in a state of arousal (perhaps not thinking with all brain cells firing), and simply trying to remain on schedule. Thus, for my translations at...
