NOTE: “40SALE” coupon code wasn’t working on 4/11/2024. Sorry about that!

It’s 100% fixed. Be sure to enter it without the quotes at check-out.

106 new JAV DVDs just added to the site!

I’ve been on a roll adding tons of titles to the site. I bet you didn’t know that this is already the 4th routh of updates and it’s only the 10th!

Most of these came out very recently in Japan. Lots of variety in this update. Even some Lesbian titles, even the rare Bukkake new additions. As you may know, they don’t make those as much in Japan these days.

Here are some tips to navigate the site:

1. Click “Home” to see titles in EVERY genre. Previously you could click “Japan Video World”.
2. Click “Latest Updates” to see what we’ve added for each month. Or you can just click your favorite genre.
3. On the genre page you can sort by most recent titles or what is the most popular (goes by sales).
4. Want to see titles with your favorite actress? Be sure to click her “tag”. It allows you to see more of their DVDs.
5. If you want to see more previews for titles added before OCTOBER 2023 you can visit our old site.
6. Want to buy a title you’ve found on the old site? Search for it here, you may need to remove the dash (-) to find it.
7. 100% of ALL titles on the old site are available here. NOTHING has been removed!
8. We had to import all the old data and could not simply transfer over all the previews and actress info.
9. If anyone didn’t know, “All Sex” is our General or Main area. Most titles will go there.
10. If a DVD was added in the past 30 days it will now display a “NEW” label on the top right of the box cover.

I also found some technical issues that could have caused a few problems for people trying to order.

If you experienced that, please try it again!

Fingers crossed that was the issue, but maybe not.

It involved accidentally “caching” the check-out and cart contents pages. That’s FIXED.

I am hopeful I can continue the site for years. It’s going to happen!

I just need this update to be a huge success.

I am working so hard. Harder than ever before! It’s 3am and i’m still at it!

I have some huge plans for this site. I love my job so much and want to keep doing this as my full (and only) job.

I also want to assure everyone that if you have an open order, it’s 1000% going out and  ASAP. Don’t worry!

I’m working day and night.

Thank You!!

OK. First off, the site is not going anywhere! We are not closing and no chance of that happening.

Sales in March and April have been at an all time low. Not just low, but basically DEAD! It’s now getting to the point where I can barely keep the site running without taking a part time job. I’m at the point now where if sales don’t recover by the end of this week then I will need to take a part time job. This 1000% means that the prices of each DVD will have to go up to $7 or even $8. I just won’t have time anywhere to handle huge bulk orders. Even then I might need to limit order quantity. With that price, I expect the site to turn into more of a hobby. Since 2002 it’s been my primary full time job.

Often we’ve had a slow-down in sales. It could be due to the economy, some weird technical issues or poor traffic from search engines. We focused hard on doing updates and that always seemed to work. This time, it hasn’t. At this point i’ve been brainstorming ideas as to what’s going on and have come up with nothing. I don’t think it’s due to the decreased interest in physical media at all. Why? Sales were great in February! It was one of our best months in years!

There is one rule you may need to know about running this site. Even when we are currently processing orders, we still need to do constant updates. That’s how it’s worked since the start. The site has always done it’s best when selling in bulk with a constant flow of new updates.

I don’t expect much from running this site. As long as I can pay the bills, i’m happy. I just want to continue to constantly add new JAV DVDs for everyone each month. I love this job and do appreciate each and every order. I am so thankful for all the loyal customers. I haven’t forgotten about you.

I’m doing everything I can to fix this problem. In late March and early April I added a record number of high quality titles. Nearly all of them are recent releases in Japan.

PS if you have an open order, it’s in process and will be going out ASAP.

I am ready now to do some marathon order processing sessions.

4/10/24 UPDATE:

Let’s try a better free shipping offer. For a limit time it will be Free for USA orders of $50 or more!

You can also use coupon code “40OFF” (without quotes) to get all your DVDs for $3 each.

I also just did round 4 (!) of updates. 106 new DVDs added!!

I know I ask this a lot, but if you’re thinking of order, please considering placing one ASAP.

Thank You!

BTW if you’re a computer/technical person like me, here’s some things i’ve done to help speed up the site for everyone:

1. Added server side caching (always had this, but this one is better)
2. Added Object cache
3. Got Google Pagespeed to the highest it’s ever been (99 last I checked for desktop).
4. TTFB worldwide should be the lowest it’s ever been.

 

 

 

 

I made huge previews for the December Round 3 updates.

From now on they will be much larger than normal.

You can also view the Full Covers Gallery for every December title.

You can access it at: https://www.japansm.com/old-site/

EDIT: The Shopping Cart on the old site above is now 100% closed. We can only accept orders with the current site.

There is a lot of information on the old site that may still be useful for many of you.

For a limited time I will keep it online as a backup (info only site).

I will no longer update it. All new updates are on the new site only.

I suggest searching for the titles you want and then buying them on the new site.

You can just keep a list of them in Notepad or similar.

The old site has the following info:

1. Full actress info for nearly every DVD.
2. Picture previews for most titles.

I will slowly add all that to the new site.

I was perfectly happy with the old site but was forced to switch due to the broken cart functionality.

It’s going to take me way way longer to add all the info from the old site to the new one.

We have 15,000 titles and there is no automated way to do it.

 

 

As early as 1998 I had discovered a thing on accident called Japanese Bukkake. I had come across some before and after photos on usenet newsgroups taken from the actual videos. They were photos from the Bukkake Carnival series I believe.

I was intrigued by these and had found out they were produced by an early bukkake studio called Shuttle Japan. I just had to have some for myself!

Back then internet video didn’t really exist that much and nobody had DVD players. I had located a guy online and he had offered to sell me some VHS tapes of them. The first ones I picked out were M’s Video Group (MVG) MS-01 Fuji No Jin and Shuttle Japan BU-04 Bukkake Summit.

Let’s just say that those are rather extreme and not good for those new to bukkake (now called Gokkun). I clearly remember the effect it had on me when I first watched them. They made my stomach feel a little funny!

Around 2002 I was frustrated with it being so hard to find the videos I wanted. Usually the best ones were $100 each or sold in one specific shop. From what i’ve read online, MVG videos were once only sold in one shop in Japan.

To fix this problem I created this website to make it easier and cheaper for customers in the USA to buy Japanese Bukkake Videos!

At the time I had no clue how to design a website and started learning! The first website was only 1 page and written entirely in Notepad!

Best of all, it was on a donated Packard Bell Pentium 120mhz computer with dial-up internet that rebooted itself every 15 minutes! Fun times.

I eventually kept adding more and more videos. Even offering some Bondage titles for variety.

The site was a success and a lot of people were ordering. This allowed me to upgrade to a better computer and offer DVDs.

Around 2003 or so the DVD format became popular and I switched to that format.

I still remember a lot of my older customers complaining about the new DVD format and still preferring VHS tapes. It makes sense.

The very first DVDs we added were Waap’s GAD-004 and GAD-006. Both amazing movies and are both must see videos.

I then made it a goal to post reviews and make screenshots for every single new Bukkake title I added to the site.

I eventually added hundreds of reviews and screenshots and I believe this is a huge reason why my site became such a success back then.

When cell phones arrived, the reviews became slightly less popular. It could be that I was just too long winded and it was hard to read them.

All those reviews on one page made it hard for some customers to order. We eventually switched to a “Covers View” listing on our site and moved the reviews to the picture gallery instead.

In total I believe there were several thousand reviews posted!

I reviewed each and every DVD myself and took screenshots manually. One at a time! Hard to believe. I still remember updates taking a full day easily. Reviewing bukkake movies sounds fun, but not for 12 hours in a row.

At one point there was a massive loss of interest in Bukkake videos. It could be due to several reasons. I think it could just be due to less releases coming out in Japan.

To keep the site going we eventually started offering DVDs in many different genres. Bukkake had no become less of a focus for the site.

In October of 2023 we had some major shopping cart issues and our provider refused to help in any way (1shoppingcart). Claiming the issue did not exist for them.

Due to this we had to basically start over from scratch with a new shopping cart. Luckily we could import all the images and catalog numbers.

All actress names would be need to be entered in manually. Doing that for 15,000 titles would take probably months.

Considering we had 15,000 products and no database with actress information, this was a massive project for just one person to tackle!

Believe it or not until late 2023 we used Dreamweaver 8 with HTML5 and CSS for our site. Doing updates manually using that method is a really time consuming process! Our layout was also a table based design.

We now are using a CMS or Content Management System. This will allow us to do much faster updates and more easily allow us to change or add information. The nicest thing is that now I don’t need to worry about too many DVDs listed on one page.

Due to switching to the new software, it’s a major challenge keeping the site running. I am going to work as hard as possible to keep the site going for as many years as possible. I just hope that sales can recover back to how they were on the old site.

I do understand that some customers prefer the old site. I tried my best to make the new one as similar to the old one as possible.

Sometimes it’s just hard to believe i’ve been doing this all solo since 2002! Time sure flies.

I think the hardest time we ever had running the site was during the recession. Not something I want to remember. Luckily we were able to stay positive and get past all that. We had to move into a small apartment, but things had eventually recovered.

What has kept us going over the years so much is our loyal customers. Without them it would have not been possible.

Thank You!

 

I added another 97 total DVDs. All of them were released in the past week in Japan.

Lots of variety and I hope it’s a huge success!

Round 2 was also added a few days ago too.

To see the latest updates, click “Dec 2023 (Round 3)” under “Latest Updates” on the menu.

I also added a faster way to see the full box covers. Just click the Quickview option.

I also realized the mobile menu was down! Oops. I’m not sure how long that happened, but it’s fixed!

I accidentally had it set to not be displayed.

I also made a lot of improvements to make the site as fast as possible!

It’s a lot harder to do this when using a CMS (Content Management System).

In addition to this I also am now listing the “Date Added” for every new DVD.

It’s only listed in the full product page though.

PS one strange thing i’ve noticed about the site (100% not a complaint!) is that ZERO titles in the Big Tits section have sold since the new site opened! Very strange.

My only idea is maybe some people don’t realize the menu option is clickable. The sub-category is for Lactation videos.

Round 2 of the December updates is here a little early.

As always you can click “Latest Updates” to see them.

Here’s a tip too:

To see DVDs in EVERY genre you can click “Home” on the main menu.

The titles listed under “All Sex” are the General, Miscellaneous or Unsorted titles.

I decided to post this update a little early! It’s 91 new DVDs.

You can find them all by clicking the “Latest Updates” menu on the front page and scrolling down to the month.

Lots of high quality titles and something for everyone I think. All of them have picture preview sheets too.

Nearly all of these titles came out in Japan just a few days ago!

I’m hoping this update is a huge success.  I really need some good news for once.

What’s nice about this new site is that I can now see exactly which genres are the best sellers.

I couldn’t easily do that before. So far, for the new site it’s the Lesbian titles by far.

Don’t forget to check out November’s update too. I added over 550 titles or so in November.

All of them are new additions and not just moved over from the old site.

You may have noticed that the site is all new!

We were forced to do this because our old shopping cart software was barely functioning.

We spent hours on the phone with support, but they refused to fix it after nearly a month and claimed it was “user error”.

I got tired of dealing with that. It was extremely stressful and customers had a hard time ordering.

The software i’m using is completely new to me and it will take some time to get everything perfect.

I avoided switching to a CMS (Content Management System) for years because I had no clue how to use one properly.

Would you believe I used plain HTML and CSS with Dreamweaver for the site for nearly 20 years? Not many people do that these days.

Manually adding 15,000 DVDs to the site was not something I was capable of doing.

I ended up having to add all the products without the actress names. It was impossible to add them all.

I will slowly add all of them in the next few weeks while working on orders.

Eventually I will even add all my old reviews back to the site.

It is now a lot easier to add products to the cart! You can add them on the catalog pages or from the full product page.

No more “Add to Cart” windows to keep closing!

Best of all, the site is now a lot better for mobile devices.

You can even checkout without an account no problem.

Creating an account will allow you to see a list of previous purchases so you don’t order something you already have.

One nice thing about the new site is that I can now do monthly updates in just an hour instead of a full day!

No more typing filenames manually into an HTML file (yes, I seriously did that!).

I know people get annoyed with major changes on a site, but I hope most of you will give it a chance.

I tried to make the new site as simple and easy to use as possible.

I will slowly improve it over the next few months.

Switching to a new site is actually a scary process. So many bad things can happen, but I think everything will be perfectly fine!

Thank you!

PS in case you were wondering, everything that was on the old site is still on the new one. No removed DVDs at all!

I will do my best to add all the actress names back ASAP. It may take me several months.

My old site had no database of information that I could simply copy over to the new site. It was all text.

That’s why it will take so long.
