As I mentioned earlier this week, one of the all time biggest mistakes I ever made running this site was removing way too many picture preview sheets from the site. I could go on and on now about how bad this was for the site.
I never realized how many I had removed. It had to be 20,000 of them.
So far at least 95% of the ones that were missing were added back!
Around 10,000 of them for DVDs added in 2025! About the same for 2024 DVDs.
Many people absolutely must see a preview for a DVD before they even considering buying it. I don’t blame them.
I also don’t want to waste my money on a DVD with content I probably wouldn’t like. Screenshots help there.
It’s so fun buying lots of JAV DVDs and only liking a few of them. It happens to us all.
I’ve had some major nostalgia about running this site for nearly 24 years solo.
I often wonder how on earth I managed this. It seems impossible.
I think this site only became a success long term because I made it easier for people outside Japan to learn about new Japanese adult DVD releases, see previews and sometimes read reviews. Those DVD screenshots are far more important to customers than I realized.
Back when I started this site it was nearly impossible to see even screenshots or pictures for some rare movies.
Years from now too it’s going to be harder and harder to find information about older DVD releases. I plan to keep every single DVD online no matter what.
Along the way I temporarily removed a ton of them thinking that would help the site long term, but it just made things worse.
Every single title we ever had listed is still available. We’re up to about 36,000 DVDs.
Would you believe that from 2002 to May 2006 we only sold bukkake DVDs? I think some bondage titles too.
The site really took off when we started offering more than 2 genres. This was around June 2007. I just remember that 2007 was out best year on record.
I used to also sell only VHS tapes too! I bet many of you no longer own a VCR. I still have one but haven’t used it in years.
For regular movies I still prefer DVDs and Blu-ray discs. I love feeling that I own them and like to collect TV show boxed sets.
BTW right now about 70% of our entire collection now has picture previews I think. That’s a TON of content!
