lmao seeing all of you guys' collection makes me feel like a baby. Mine barely touches 100gb.

Well to be fair, I mostly collect clips though, not full movies. I'm more of straight to the action guy lmao

I switched to HD and FHD movies for JAV in july. Before, the movies were on my laptop in SD and I had around 230Gb (I've started collecting movies in 2013 and I sometime delete movies if I stop following an actress). Now, I have a NAS (so way more storage space) and I can follow more girls. I have 1,5 Tb (Censored, Uncensored, VR). Around 500 gb is movies from retired girls that I downloaded right away because links might be dead soon and would be impossible or very hard to find again.

I heard that stars can now request that the movie/s be taken out of circulation. Better DOWNLOAD IT ALL!

That must be those cases when they get married or have a jealous boyfriend or their family finds out? I've heard of that talked about on Akiba as well. Wasn't there a thread somewhere around here that talked about titles that are no longer available? That is my reasoning (at times) for grabbing anything I can. But...it does become taxing on the old storage capacity.

Indeed, just to be safe and avoiding regrets later when all links are dead.

I've heard about it because someone talked about who Hana Nonoka's movies were removed from R18.

There's legal and illegal content. While R18 might remove a movie, once it got posted online somewhere you can probably get it. Very little is forever gone.

The problem is finding somebody who have a specific title and is willing to share it.

As an example, does anyone have titles dating back to 2002 ? Like Aoi Sora's debut piece ?

I have titles dating back to the 80s. Not many, but a few

I know that was just an example, but what is the code for that debut title? In case someone reading this actually has it.

That's some major storage if folks have titles dating back to 2002 and the 80's!

Wow...I actually had it. It's old small and not that great (because it's old and small).

Perhaps that is a bad example for a challenge. How about finding something like Ai Iijima's videos ?

An unauthorise re-release of her old 90s titles was out in the market for a while in 2002 before it was pull off by her lawyer. Anyone manage to rip and dump it on the net during that short window ?

Again, any codes you know of? This isn't directed at you (well...maybe 2%) but I love it when people ask if anyone has or knows where to fine "a video", "a movie", "any titles" of someone but don't themselves offer much information to help find things.

Pulled all these out of a 2500 yen Fukubukuro . Looking at their unsealed state, it's most likely those are 2nd hand copies or ex-rental releases that they can't get rid of. But can't complain at 500 yen a piece with the girl looking cute at least .

More recent release from the same shipment.

I've seen on Amazon Japan that there is a fairly large assortment of used movies available but don't ship outside of the country. The one way to get movies seems like to go through a service to buy items for you and ship out of Japan. How do you get your movies or do you go through the process I described?

The online retailer that I bought from just treat them as normal films and ship them as such through EMS.
