That DMM guy is a real jerk. They took our JAV!.. But yeah, it's either VPN or finding some other sources like XCITY or XCREAM (though I'm not sure how... non-VPN they are), not to mention some basic ones like JAV Trailers, JAV Library and JAV Land, of course (just mentioning those anyway since I believe we believe too much in the whole "this is common knowledge stuff": we only know what we know, and we are all different in some ways; a person might know a lot about quantum physics but fail to understand how sarcasm works... and it's a reference I didn't expect I'd make)
P.S. Also, this post turned out to be a can of worms humor-wise (it has several kinds of comedy attempts that should have been more clearly made separate, so it might seem that they are all interconnected, and it might be confusing), but I'll leave it as is, to be a reminder to myself, of my own incoherence and proneness to wasting everyone's time with my graphomania. Man, I should work on this

Trawling these websites below isn't my preferred method. Search tools frequently don't work based on codes. Instead use Yandex image search first and Google Images second. Look for hits primarily from:
DUGA is a pretty good general go to. Covers are usually 1000px W.
AV-Channel has excellent covers when you can get them.
Tsutaya is hit or miss. Often lower file size and quality, mostly 1188px W if I recall.
HBOX will often have very high resolution front cover scans of you don't want the reverse of the box.
XCITY is fine if you don't mind your covers without spines (therefore often missing the code). They're usually of high resolution and good quality. I never use these if they have no spine.
XCREAM covers are excellent but don't include many studios.
MGS is okay but many have a watermark bottom-right. Maybe 50% of them do not, the older covers I think.

I wasn't actually aware of this site 
When I typed it in now, I found out that I actually visited it, but I guess it was just via Google when I searched for some covers myself. But I'll add it to my list of sources, thank you

Are you able to purchase on sokmil? Can't seem to login, tried Google, X and Fb but stuck on loop and can't login.
I've never tried sokmil, but how about creating a standalone account, via e-mail and password etc.?
I've got some questions about purchasing & downloading vids from DDM, DUGA, XCream, etc:
I want to know if I can just purchase vids with my card or if I would there be additional steps involved?
Would I need additional software to download/rip vidoes?
What would the cc statement on my bill read?

Overall it's very likely that you will encounter some kind of pain while registering/purchasing and then watching/downloading (especially if the site limits its functionality for users outside Japan). Even when R18 was still a thing, they had DRM. Other than that I don't really have a lot of experience, but others have shared a lot here, for example (maybe try reading the last 5 to 10 pages of the thread)
I have purchased from duga and xcream.net. I choose videos with No DRM so I can download and play anywhere, try to keep off on the videos with DRM as it happen before my videos purchased on R18 which is no longer playable.
I thought all JAV on sites like Duga are under DRM. I learned something new today

Previously the site allowed you to browse/window shop everything - including watching trailers - without an account. Now I'm stuck in the same boat as you - can't log in, can't register. Makes no sense to block all foreign country IPs when it's only the USA's censorship that's forcing them to take measures.

I thought Japan was doing it purely for their own reasons. So, the US decides what Japan should do even when it's about porn?
Hi! I'm new here. You could search, add things to you cart, and purchase from sokmil before Christmas. I've purchased over 50 titles and today I was region locked out of going to the site. I can still access my purchases so that's nice of them to give me that much. I'm going back to Tokyo Lily which hasn't locked anyone from the site and it's actually a few dollar cheaper than sokmil and has a few exclusive videos thanks to their partnership with a few models https://tokyolily.jp/ Tokyo Lily also accepts all credit cards unlike sokmil. The most important part is you can download every video you buy in "1080p" if you use the chrome extension stream recorder. Not affiliated with either company, but buying videos from TL is waaaaay more easier.
There is a tiny problem as TL and sokmil doesn't have many day 1 videos. I was looking forward to getting nami fujiwara's new video that was released yesterday and neither has it. DMM has it but I was hearing horror stories with buying videos from them in the past. So I'm taking the more enjoyable route and going to her launch party next month then I can buy the video.

What are these "launch parties" actually? Like an event where you can go to dedicated to the release of a certain title? Is it paid or free? I've heard about fan events, but not about "launch parties" for JAV specifically
Its not for JAV. Its basically "My newest video has been released so lets take some pictures for publicity" type of party. I have three of those events to attend in a week. They're rarely free and by free I mean you can stand around and look while us paying members get to take photos and get handed the videos. Free people are basically seat fillers for an event that can hold 50 people.
There are "private parties" held by the model in a random location that has a limit of 10 to 20 people, but I've never attended those. Only seen pictures.
I see. Well, I already mentioned elsewhere on the forum that I would be interested in parties like these (for any kind of porn, JAV included) only if you could do something more than take photos, get something signed etc. Best case scenario, as I understand, you are able to shake hands with the actresses (in a line of dozens of other dudes)*, so... yeah, for my taste, it's a very specific and limited kind of pleasure
What do I mean by "more"? I guess, it's obvious, and it's also obvious that this legally would be impossible and count as prostitution. So, we have these parties... and then we have a whole leap of a JAV star doing brothels, delivery health etc. What I see working in between is OF (or analogues) having some kind of a "everybody-knows-what-it-means-but-legally-it's-OK" kind of deals where you can buy part in a video with the girl in one of her videos, but it's actually just the same as paying for an hour with her, sex included, and for legal reasons, we could even film it, and they would only publish it if you are OK with it/face blurred or something
What I mean is, I think that the vast majority of JAV fans want more (maybe you included), but they are not getting any unless the star works in a brothel/delivery health, which is a much broader market that many of these stars would want. So, it makes it more comfortable for both the fans (being able to get some with your favorite girl if she's okay with it) and the stars (not having to go to a full-blown brothel but be able to screen the people who really want to spend some quality time with you, also better for security etc.). This "select fan clubs" might be a happy medium between going full-blown "prostitute" and keeping it low-key
* I now remember that there are very rare events, usually for charity, where you could touch the actresses boobs for a donation; it was likely about the breast cancer awareness, that would fit well... I guess... Better than nothing, but still, it was a line of like a hundred dudes, I guess. I mean, lines of dudes are cool when it's a plot device in a blowjob title or something... but in that case, it's just too many people in a public place

Why? You figured they hated having foreigners sending money to Japan?
If you'd really like to pull back a bit of the curtain you could search either here or on reddit or even google and read up on what happened to R18.com, dmm, sokmil, dl-site and whatnot.
