I noticed that the checkout page was totally missing the coupon code box!! Oops.
That may have prevented quite a few people from ordering. Sorry about that!
You were still able to enter it on the cart page, but some people go directly to checkout.
The site should now be running super fast.
I’ve got full page caching going that should not interfere with the add to cart or checkout functions.
I got my first ever Google pagespeed score of 100/100 for mobile for the site using a new plugin I bought for it.
It’s really hard to get that score, especially on the software we use.
I’ve found yet another great way of getting my physical collection organized (that we use for the site).
I’m pretty excited about implementing it.
I’ve had other good ideas in the past, but not as good as this one.
I’m confident this will make finding discs for orders super fast.
It uses a local spreadsheet database system.
Strangely enough, I got the idea from an AI chat-bot.
In the past 5 years, the biggest time sink in processing orders has been to actually FIND the discs.
As you may know, we have over 25K discs. When we had less than 10K discs it was no problem at all finding them.
This problem may be finally solved once and for all. I’m pretty happy about that. I think it’s going to work out perfectly.
I’ve also been doing constant updates for June. Would you believe we’re on Round 9 of the June updates?
One small change you might have noticed.
The default product sort option is now “Sort by Best Sellers”.
We are doing this as a test to see how it goes. Just click whatever option you want. It’s not gone!
One fun option is to try out “Random”. You might discover some pretty good DVDs you might have previously overlooked.
I’m also going to do a better job of adding more product information to future new additions.
Things such as full title name, release data, studio, running length etc.
I honestly don’t like to add the full title names. They’re sometimes an entire paragraph long and make very little sense.
Some of them are quite funny though!
One thing i’d also like to point out. If there is not enough titles added per month to your favorite genre, it’s most likely just that Japan hasn’t released that many that month.
One thing that is a bit disappointing is that there are so few Lesbian videos produced in Japan now. I’m seeing less than a dozen per month easily I think. I don’t know why. I personally love them and always have. Would you believe our #1 best seller of all time is a lesbian video? It has the older and younger (18+) theme that so many love. It’s starring Maki Housyou and my favorite Rina Hatsume. It’s LADY-098. I find the movie super hot. The last scene is especially great. My #1 favorite JAV actress is probably Rina Hatsume. Last year I also loved Mako Oda & Ayano Katou videos (both mature category actresses).
I know a lot of you are here just for the Lesbian videos. If it wasn’t for that genre our site would be way less successful.
I don’t focus specifically on any single genre. I add whatever is new that looks good. Even ones that don’t look good to ME i’ll still add. Just to see if there is any interest.
In the past few months i’ve also added a lot of new categories/genres. Even trying to make some for professions like Nurse, News Reporter, Stewardess etc. One I personally love is the Cosplay Bunny Girl theme.
One genre I love that isn’t too popular is the Mature Woman genre. I may add less of these DVDs in the future. Maybe just be more selective.
One type of movie i’d absolutely love to sell is non-nude big bust gravure movies! They would probably sell zero copies though. I personally love non-nude content.
They are one of the hardest types of videos to find outside Japan! If you’ve got a favorite gravure model, you’d have to buy many of their DVDs directly from Japan.
Reminds me the days of when I first experienced a bukkake VHS tape. Most of those were 60 minutes only and cost $100USD. No, that’s no joke! M’s Video Group (MVG) also sold their video tapes at that price. I bet some of my customers now have never used VHS tapes before. I think the site became a huge success when we finally switched to the DVD format.
I believe this was around 2004 or 2005? It’s hard to remember!
I myself am a big fan of physical media. I think it’s here to stay and will never go away. When I buy something, I want to feel like I own it! It makes me a little annoyed when so many great TV shows are made, but no blu-ray or even DVD version is available. One example is a show called The Foundation, which is super great IMO. One thing i’ve been doing as a precaution is buying lots of my favorite TV shows on physical media if at all possible. That way if it’s deleted on a streaming service, I can still watch it. I just did this with HBO’s Station Eleven (which is amazing IMO).
