Do you have any insights why R18 as of today stopped: 1) registering new users 2) accepting subscription payments 3) leaving '7 day rental' as the only purchase option, no outright buy. I can sort of squint right and see how 1) and 2) are connected to payment / credit card issues, but 3) is the one that makes me really concerned about the future of R18. I wish I could migrate over to DMM, as the 580ish movies I have on R18 is too many to re-purchase once again on the exact same website.

for what it's worth, she appears to be quite active on her fancentro. But yeah, her last release was the WANZ pegging one with AIKA in early November 2021.

Looks like some of your wishes might be granted with Mana Sakura's next movie (feat Ichika Matsumoto). Ichika plays the role of a younger sister, who is annoyed that Mana has a boyfriend and decides to show her the light.

Re Eimi: I guess it might her becoming the effect of her signing with Moodyz kicking in - same number of fans, but only 1 video per month for these fans to buy. Re Yui: I guess minor studios may be a reason behind. I had a look at her recent non-compilation releases on R18: 1/3 Max-A, 1/3 Celeb no tomo, 1/6 Glory Quest, 1/6 Other studios. Other than Celeb no Tomo, they all have very plain DVD releases and Celeb no Tomo sells the 'true' limited editions straight from their website.

I'm overseas, so for me the checklist is a bit longer (due to shipping costs), but it goes like: - Really into the actress - Does the movie tick a lot of my kinks / memorable in some or other way / absolute 'peak' performance of the actress (say AIKA and ass-centric MMKZ-112 or some or other aggressive Yui Hatano) - Does it have a decent limited edition (at least some signed chekis). If I were to go to Japan, I'd probably buy only enough to satisfy the conditions of an event. Again, souvenir with inferior image quality to a digital product.
