The years haven’t been kind but on the bright side there’s now many ‘free info’ shops that’ll help you find fun new places. ;-/

I wrote about why it's hard for foreigners to get into JAV here: https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2020/04/12/foreigners-jav-how-can-i-get-in-on-this/
But you can basically take a lot of what I wrote there and apply it to Japanese men as well.
Becoming an actor isn't insanely difficult; it's...
It's great how some of these amateur makers are branching out of just FC2 (with its less than ideal interface). PH is pretty big in Japan and either way, buying from PH (yes, people do this) is way easier than FC2.
I never heard of it, but it looks neat if you love older content.
I figure the service you mention requires you to send in your original VHS and then they do the DVD transfer and send you back your movie in both formats. So yes, probably legal.

Mask is just to hide their faces because many are too cheap/lack the technical skills to add it in post. The end result is it makes many look like fat bank robbers.
Everything you wanted to know about amateur uncensored JAV filming and more.

Without a doubt, Kurea (or Claire as she’s sometimes called) is a veteran.
She undoubtedly crossed that Rubicon in 2020.
A banner year for her in spite of everything else going on.

Toka may not be of the MILF age, but she sure gives off a MILF vibe.
As for Yuki Jin, she definitely has an above average butt when compared to other JAV stars.
One of our writers crafted a trilogy of posts about his favorite actresses and movies of the year.
This is a work of love complete with detailed write-ups, lots of pictures, clips, and more.

The survey to end all surveys though honestly, the answer is really obvious.

Let’s look back at all the bizarre tweets by popular JAV stars throughout the year.
Some are goofy, some entertaining, some hopeful, and some are just plain gross!

Moe Amatsuka explains and reveals her favorite actor. Also: his personal harem
Yea, we’re gonna need to know a lot more about that last part.
Part interview, part gossip, and definitely worth a read →...
Model Media. I think I follow them on Twitter.
Seeing that makes me really happy. Be it Taiwanese or PRC (probably the former), it appears like they have good/great production value, very cute girls, no mosaic, and good variety. In other words, a real legit operation that can give JAV...
Our interview with JAV director Usuba Shisui.
What goes on behind the scenes?
How is casting done?
Who comes up with the plot?

Are Yui Hatano and Sora Aoi really household names in Beijing?
Just because porn may be banned there doesn’t mean people don’t watch it!

It seems that when it comes to the talent pool, COVID has seen more women who normally stick with ‘water trade’ work switching to JAV due to a lack of clients.
Good for fans, but good overall?

Ways some of our favorite actresses are thinking out of the box to break free of the industry’s vise-like grip.
Some like Maria Nagai are even putting up uncensored content!

I'm looking forward to an even more voluptuous Asahi Mizuno. Provided she has Ai Uehara's uncanny full body even fat distribution genes, we'll be in for something special.
Faleno or Madonna most likely (she confirmed in a YT video it's an exclusive contract). Possibly Moodyz if not them. Fitch she has the body for, but it would be a step down all things considered.
The comeback to end all comebacks.
The best natural body ever is back!!!

Some big changes (DMM's ranking), others heavily static (R18, surprisingly).
#1 though should be no surprise if you've been following recent big JAV events.
The question is if she has staying power.
A very detailed deep dive into last month's industry sales -->...
LOTS of juicy info in today’s blog post from Asahi Mizuno potentially returning for a one-off, Natsuko Mishima retiring for real, a ‘exclusive’ four way split, and more.

With trick-or-treating on the ice due to you-know-what, we’ve assembled a list of the scariest JAV movies out there. Absolutely NSFW!!!
Sadly, this year seems devoid of creepy releases. Perhaps we'll see a return to more unusual releases in the future?
The list →...
They may not be a top studio yet per sales charts, but if their funding and talent acquisition continue, they very well may become one sooner than you think.
We return to everyone’s favorite JAV studio that seemed to appear out of nowhere, hire up many big names, and in less than a year go from zero to an industry giant.
But the big question: how did they do this? And is it sustainable?
Let’s find out →...
Where we borrow some AVGN in this delightful list of JAV movies that really...and I mean REALLY miss the mark.
Features releases by—well, naming names here may be a little mean.

If they think it will make money and they see a way they can use their resources (or easily acquire them), probably? Less JAV studio and more Business 101.
Yes, she may look innocent, but from what I heard, she's anything but. You can say the same for many JAV debuts. There are no college students who just decide to do JAV. At the very least they're going to be dipping their toes into something like delivery health for a bit. Or in Chiharu's...
CHIHARU SAKURAI “debuted” with a major studio exactly a year ago and remains active, but did you know she first did several no mosaic real creampie movies with our friend Covert Japan?

JAV studios will very often hire third party shooters and teams. It's not like <studio A> has their entire film crew as employees. And it's also possible they may license these amateur movies, add mosaic, and then legally sell them within the country (assuming the videos in question aren't...
The mummy movie was shot by Fetish Japan like 5 years ago. We actually licensed since we showed the other ones from the same series, but never put it up as it's just too hard.
Our writer definitely erred on the side of bigger breasts so for those who prefer actresses with other body types, you may have to wait for a future list.
https://www.zenra.net/blog/pankings-top-10-bukkake-movies
Mirei Aikawa did this and the reaction was well...muted.
We wonder if previous industry “real life lesbian friends” tropes had something to do with this.
My thoughts: I’m sure there are many pay-for-play JAV stars but the number who truly are bisexual let alone lesbian is probably quite low...
You can buy used lingerie of your favorite actresses, but how about unwashed corn-shaped dildos?
There’s great things out there and some uh...well, let’s just say not everything receive a bid.
