Japan’s leading video sharing site NicoNico Douga has just launched a porn video service in cooperation with major Japanese online AV distributor DMM (Digital Media Mart).
The videos include a large number of typically explicit AVs, and are offered on the same nicovideo.jp domain as Nico proper, albeit on a “channel” sub-site exclusive to DMM.
The catch is that no video sharing is possible at all (everything is uploaded by DMM), and the site is in fact a pay site. ¥525 a month allows users to view the videos, which appear to consist of a moderate number of clips (100 to start), each no longer than 5 minutes.
Comments are however still enabled, so it is possible to see the usual tawdry AV action obscured by strings of “wwwww” and amusing banter as to how ugly the performers are.
You can see their front page here, though only a single non-explicit video is provided to non-members as a rather unconvincing sample.
DMM are notionally operating the site, so Nico does escape charges of directly running such a site, not that this generally bothers Japanese companies, who tend to be able to engage in such business quite freely without undue complaints from the public.
The offering is not extraordinarily convincing (in fact there appear to be dozens of entirely free sites with superior offerings), so it remains to be seen how well it will do. Whatever the case, it is a surprising and unexpected development in Nico’s desperate (but lately increasingly successful) search for profitability.
This does raise the interesting question of how explicit the already at times erotic content on the main Nico site will be allowed to become.

Wait, so does this mean you'll be able to add videos from the new website just like Nico to Sankaku, since they have the same nicovideo.jp domain.
who's the girl in the banner?
Ugh, accessible only on the Japanese version.
Funny though that Niconico has a Spanish version :D that means we latinos indeed grew up on Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon on public TV ^^
hi
So if u sign up n did not choose an option in way u pay them n u do not watch from there anymore u still pay them?
Never paid for porn in my entire life, and never will, even if the site is a awesome full of win...
¥525 a month would be a pretty good deal, were it not for the ridiculous 5 minute length restriction - unless they're uploading complete AVs in several parts, which I sort of doubt. I'm also quite interested in how they'll deal with the multitude of methods to download videos from Nico already available (which - I hasten to add - nobody officially involved in this site is allowed to divulge, as stipulated in the contract with Dwango).
Too few JPN paysites as it is. I get really sick of Yourfilehost sometimes.
Does that girl in the first picture get a video?

They should pay US to have to hurry to switch comments off in every damn video.
WTF its not free
that suck T_T
naaa!!
i was thingking that it was goin to be free
I'd laugh if they had porno MADs.
HAHA lol, that'd be awesome
though theres allrdy those Aniki MADs xD
haha porno MADs... good one, I wouldnt mind seeing one or two, just to see how they could turn out
Hmm...I am suddenly reminded of the TMA Night of Cosplay Porn MAD..
"I assume they have the same restrictions as adult videos in Japan: genitals have to be blurred/mosaiced."
This is one of the most illogical things in this life
It's not that unusual. This is politics 101:
1. Make laws that benefit corporations and banks.
2. Don't make laws that upset the people.
3. Do publicity stunts in an effort to be reelected.
Don't forget we are talking about 20th century laws here. There is no way that kind of law could be passed in modern Japan, even if it didn't exist in the first place.
But dwelling on sensitive topics like pornography isn't going to win over many voters. So long nobody pressures the government to change the law, it's going to stay the same.
Am I the only person that likes the mosaics??
oh happy days
its still a pay site
damn it!!!!!
lol I agree.
It kind of makes sense, since the porn industry is big in Japan, and if you're willing to grow, you should take steps like these.
ASFAFASF
indeed but its kind of funny-that site is like youtube only for japan..so can you imagine youtube making something like this?
I really can't imagine youtube making something like that. haha.
There's always PornoTube. Though, I'm more amused by the whole commenting being enabled.
any JAV site recommend?
ikuvideo.jp
Going to have to go with megarotic videos here.
personally I find xhamster to be the best. It even has the more "questionable" porn. Youporn I think has someone moderating it, and removing what they think isn't right.
Don't forget RedTube and YouPorn lol
I wouldn't say nico is like japans youtube, its much more otaku orientated.
Well yeah, because all the "normal" Japanese people use Youtube Japan.
Well, on dailymotion (kinda french youtube) you dont really have a 18+ section but when you watch a 18+ vid you got like porn ads all over the screens, so i guess it wouldnt really surprise me for youtube :D
Are you kidding? YouTube is run by Google. Do you realize what's going to happen with google's stocks if they allow such videos on their website after the moralists start linking google==porn?
Let's not forget that google are trying to play the "good guys" of the corporate world. Being friendly on the surface is a core component of their corporate strategy.
Reply to above. Issue isn't the moralists per se. If it was set up like this then youtube would be blocked pretty much everywhere, reducing traffic signficantly.
Same basic idea though. If they put it under their main domain name then they'd find themselves quickly shrinking due to filter associations and the like.
ooh Anon2 sure has a point there. Well informed my good sir
I'm seeing censored images, that means videos will be censored too?
I assume they have the same restrictions as adult videos in Japan: genitals have to be blurred/mosaiced.
They'd have to setup shop off shore to do uncensored videos.
I'll stick with my 2d.
I second that.
