JAV DVD stores in Japan - photos

[PJB]

U-15 Idols, not JAV models. JAV = 18+ Hardcore.

What an eye opener. What's that loli title on the left?

Matroos Graffiti 2 (マドロス・グラフィティ 2) by Saeki Tatsuya. Good artist, but in some of his older works the girls are a little too skinny, and also a little too bald (!).

Anyone more familiar that would happen to know what store this is:

or this one too:

Tried to read the labels but they don't say any store name...

Anyone find this out?

It looks like kawaii_emu does not want to be associated with this anymore. Fortunately for us, the quotation software on the forum does not let him erase all of it.

That sticker on the DVD case looks familiar. I want to scribe it is from a chain store like Trader or Lammtarra. Of course, I would never pay ¥2,362 for a single DVD. Having scrawled that, Lammtarra has a sister store called MULAN where it offloads the DVDs which did not sell at the above price [e.g.]. The 1st floor has vintage video games, the 3rd floor has the more current offerings, and the 2nd floor is where you find the deeply discounted old JAVs. When I shopped there, they were in three-packs from "Grasshopper Distribution" (the company's name was in English) for ¥990 or ¥999. You could not see the front cover of one of the DVDs, but you could see the other two. At ¥333 a DVD, it is worth a try. Mulan accepts a credit card.
I have posted previously about Mulan. Investigate the "The Carnage from Tokyo" thread elsewhere here on Akiba-Online.

Here we are in 2022, near the end of this awesome pandemic. My buddy wants me to return to Japan and see the snow monkeys.
I'm thinking January 2023 is a bit too cold for me. Plus I'm going to Costa Rica in December. The rumor is, Jr Idols vacation in Costa Rica in December.
What say you? Any chance?

About 0% I would say, maybe Hawaii would have been better.

Hey guys, can anybody recommend large JAV stores (with exact address) in Tokyo besides M's pop. Is anybody there from Dec 25 and wants to hang out until Jan 2?

Yes! Just now, after not looking in this thread for awhile. I have already mentioned the store where he stealthily took the {undoubtely} phone camera pictures of the store's shelves. It is Mulan, on an east-west avenue in southern Akiba ~ near the JR Chuo-Sobu line tracks, and west of Chuo Dori. His pictures are of the third floor where the current releases are. I consistently shop the second floor, which is where the majority of cheap DVDs are sold [i.e.: the ones from Grasshopper Distribution.].
I deduced this because in a couple of the pictures, including this one, you can see "Mulan" in its particular logo on the shelf edge.

Never heard of them, what would be a code from them?

Talk about double duty.
I watched a JAV video that was filmed inside one of these DVD shops. What are the odds?

Got back from Tokyo few weeks ago, usually go once a year, twice if I'm lucky. Just want to share some of the photos I took from the stores during my trips there..

First time I went to Tokyo was back in 2009, spent 2 weeks travelling around the country - landed in Tokyo, went to a bunch of places then headed back to the original destination for the return flight. I remember the first time I went to the JAV stores in AKB selling this stuff, absolutely insane when you see it for the very first time. Posters of upcoming movies plastered all over the walls, signed merchandise, sex toys, etc. leading all the way up to the next floor. On the outside the building looks tiny but when you are inside, it's like a maze, easy to get lost - the shelves are so close to each other it's easy to knock stuff over (knocked a few things over myself). Crazy on how much stuff they have in just one of these shops. I did a 4-hour tour around AKB back in 2009 and managed to go to most of the adult video stores in that small amount of time.. now, I think they opened up a few more stores but not that many many. Anyone looking to buy DVDs for steal prices should head to Book-Off - they sell mountain loads of pornographic DVDs for peanuts, among other stuff - books, video games, toys, music and normal movies, etc. The Book-Off stores have basically everything, though the Akihabara branch isn't that good, nor big - the best Book-Off stores in the Tokyo area are outside AKB. If you are looking for new releases / brand new (and some pre-owned stuff) Lammtarra and the sister stores are a good choice - these stores also used to sell a ton of U-15 stuff also, but they have less and less of that stuff nowadays compared to 9 years ago. You can find signed autographed photos / panties, etc. with some of the DVDs also. But for the junior idol DVDs, you can't really find a good selection of them anymore at Lammtarra. Only place that I saw a good selection of them is at a anime toy store beside Electronic Town exit of Akihabara station, forgot the name of the shop but they have lots of anime figures on display at the entrance, ground floor is anime goods, second floor has music CDs, etc. top floor is where you can find the U-15 / idol photo books. Funny thing about the shops that sell JAV - you can wander around and find heaps of places that look innocent enough - bunch of stuffed teddies, anime figurines, video game consoles, etc. at the entrance of the store, when you walk in you see more of this stuff, then you finally reach the back of the shop - fully loaded with hardcore porn DVDs. Got to see it to believe it.

Seeing this makes me miss adult video rental stores.
