FAMU

What FAMU is

FAMU (ファム) is a smartphone-only adult video-call and messaging service in Japanese. The home page calls it a married-women video chat service where members can make video calls, voice calls and send messages to women registered across Japan, and the site title describes it as a mobile live-chat service for married women (人妻モバイルライブチャット). The operator is 株式会社リアズ of Osaka, named in the terms and the commercial-transactions notice. It sells calls and messages, not recorded titles.

Everything on the pages is in Japanese. Nothing points to an English interface, English support or an English-language checkout, and the site never mentions customers outside Japan. Mosaic is not a topic either, because the product is a live call between two people and not released video.

What it carries and how it is organized

The home page says the service has been running for more than 10 years and claims that more than 1,300 women are waiting for video calls each day, with more than 130,000 registered women. It describes the roster as married women, mature women and expectant mothers, most of them in their late twenties to forties, so the mature-woman angle covers the whole site and not a single section. The same passage says who the service is for: people who want to be soothed, people who want frank adult talk, and people who want video calls with older women.

Using the service follows three steps on the home page. First, find a woman at any hour, since the page says women are available around the clock, every day of the year. Second, send her a message inviting her to a video call. Third, take the call, which runs through a calling app. A sample of women who are online appears on the home page, each with an occupation label, a prefecture, an age and, for many, a tag saying she can talk right away. The page says that sample is blurred so the women cannot be identified, and that inside the site there is no blur. A follow function lets a member track women he likes, and a video bulletin board and blog posts give a way to see more of a woman before calling. Profile viewing and blog posting are free.

The communication modes are voice calls, video calls and messages that can carry an image or a video. The service is smartphone-only: the entry page tells visitors to open it from a phone through a QR code. The page notes that mobile data use is the customer's cost. Members can also receive messages from women, and the rate table distinguishes between sending and receiving.

The terms add several rules that shape the service. FAMU states that it is a service for messages and calls inside the site, not a service that arranges meetings, dates or relationships, and it forbids posting information about meeting up and forbids pressing a woman to meet or asking for her personal details. It describes the women as chat ladies, real women who earn an incentive each time they provide a service, and says each has submitted public photo ID and been confirmed as 18 or over. The home page repeats this: women who can exchange messages and calls have passed an ID check, phone numbers and email addresses are kept private, and the site says it monitors around the clock for attempts to move members to outside services, for fraud and for decoy accounts.

Membership itself is conditional. The terms say the company screens each application and may decline one without giving its reasons, that an account cannot be transferred or lent, and that a withdrawal request is not accepted while charges are unpaid. The company may change the terms or the service by posting the change, may pause the service for maintenance, and commits to at least 1 month of notice before shutting the site down. Joining also means accepting notification emails, which a member can switch off in the settings.

A complaints policy sets out the company's content standards. It says the company protects the rights of the people who appear and of viewers, handles only content whose participants are adults who agreed to appear, and looks into reports from consumers and from outside rights organizations in Japan or abroad. Content found to breach the policy is removed, and content a person depicted says she did not agree to is withheld until her agreement is confirmed.

Japan mechanics

FAMU is a domestic Japanese service in every visible respect. Each page carries three notices: a filed notification for a video-transmission adult entertainment business, number 第45091号; a filed notification for a non-store telephone introduction business, number 第45090号; and a notification for a non-store adult entertainment business, number 第44539号. The commercial-transactions notice names the company, an address in Osaka's Yodogawa ward, the business as providing and running communication services over the internet, and an inquiry desk open between 9 and 18 o'clock. The terms took effect on September 1, 2008 and were revised on November 4, 2015.

On access from abroad the pages are silent: there is no region notice and no country list, and the only geographic rule is a ban on acts that break Japanese law. Anyone paying by bank transfer must prove age with public ID. The terms add that anyone who had not turned 18 by April 1 of the registration year cannot register.

Price, access and billing

Registration is free, and the home page says free points are handed out after registration, so a member can use the service without paying. How many free points is left unsaid. Pricing is prepaid: the FAQ says there is no billing after the fact, and that a call is disconnected as soon as points run short, so a bill cannot run up. Purchased points expire six months after purchase, counting the purchase day, and the terms add that withdrawing erases unused points with no cash refund. A member who has not logged in for six months can be removed or have points forfeited. The company says purchased points cannot be refunded except where payment-settlement law allows, and a member checks the balance on the my-page screen. The payment-settlement notice sets no upper limit on the amount payable.

In October 2026 the home page lists these rates in points: 200pts per minute for a voice call and 250pts per minute for a video call. Messages cost 80pts to send as text only, and receiving a text message is free. The same table gives separate send and receive prices for image and video messages. The page and the commercial-transactions notice state the point rate as 1 yen to 0.75 points. Consumption tax and transfer fees are the member's to pay.

Payment methods listed on the commercial-transactions notice are credit card, bank transfer (Japan Post Bank and other banks), Security Money, BitCash, G-MONEY, C-CHECK, convenience-store direct payment and Paidy. The home page says statements do not carry the site name. Card brands go unnamed, and cards issued outside Japan are not addressed.

Who it suits

FAMU suits a reader who reads Japanese, owns a smartphone and wants private one-to-one voice or video calls with mature and married women at a published yen-to-point rate, paid in advance with no surprise billing. The ID-checked roster and the stated ban on arranging meetings give it a clear definition.

It is a poor fit for anyone who needs English, a desktop browser or a clear overseas-payment route. The service is mobile only, data costs fall on the member, and points lapse after six months.
