What the site is
AV Joyu DB (AV女優データベース) is a Japanese-language reference site for adult video performers and their releases at actress-db.net. It is a lookup tool, not a shop and not a streaming service: it holds performer profiles, filmographies, a release calendar and a rating ranking, and no plan, cart, login form or checkout shows on any of them. The front page headline invites visitors to find the work they want to watch starting from a performer or from the new releases, and the search box under it takes a performer name, a work title or a product code.
The site's own description calls it a database for searching AV performers by name or by work, where profiles, appearances, new releases, birthdays and places of origin can be looked up. Its share text goes further and calls it one of the largest in Japan, a data portal covering more than 60,000 performer profiles and their works; that is the site's own claim. The share title also carries the name FANZA, the store whose buyer ratings feed the ranking. Every menu, heading and filter is in Japanese. No operator, company or country is named anywhere: the one ownership line is a 2026 copyright notice in the site's own name. Since it lists releases instead of hosting video, it makes no statement on whether the titles are censored or uncensored.
A reader who stops here should know the shape of it: a free-standing index that tells you who appeared in what, when it came out and how buyers rated it, written for people who read Japanese.
What it carries and how it is organized
The home page is a set of shelves. A search box sits at the top, with buttons for performer search, new releases and the high-rating ranking. Below it come a featured-performers shelf, which the page says is chosen from trend information and recent reactions; a latest-releases shelf that starts from the newest release date; a shelf of performers whose birthday falls today, with a link to a full birthday list; a shelf of well-rated works; a block for finding performers by conditions; and a release calendar for the month. A daily tarot-card fortune that pairs the visitor with a performer is also there, marked as updated every day at midnight, along with a features and data section that says no feature articles are published yet.
The performer section is the core. The performer search page is headed as a detail search across more than 60,000 profiles and filmographies, and it works as a filtered list. Each row gives the stage name, its hiragana reading and whatever profile data the site holds for that person, followed by a details link. The filter panel has sliders for height and measurements and menus for birthday by month and day, cup size, an age bracket that runs from the twenties to fifty and over, blood type, prefecture of origin and the row of the Japanese syllabary a name starts in, with one button that clears every condition. The list can be sorted by name, by age in either direction or by measurements, and a matching count sits above it: 46,317 names with no filter set. Links on the same page lead to a statistics and ranking area and to the birthday and fortune pages. The home page offers the main filters as shortcuts: a syllabary index, a cup index, a prefecture index and an age-and-style index.
The release side is organized by date. The monthly page for October 2026 lists works newest first and says each comes with its release date, its performers, its rating and its cover, and arrows step to the previous and the next month. That page states 978 works for the month, shown 24 to a page across 41 pages. A day page, such as the one for 2 October 2026, lists that day's releases, states how many works the day holds (138 on that date) and links to the previous and next day and back to the month. The calendar on the home page gives a work count for every release day of the month, so heavy days stand out at a glance: 2 October at 138 works and 9 October at 125, against several days with a single title.
Each work row carries a release date, the title, the performers credited and a product code of the kind Japanese download stores use. Works that have reviews also show a star score out of five and a review count, and rows without reviews show no stars. Titles tagged as VR, and some tagged 8K, appear in the same lists as flat video, so the database does not split VR into its own section. Every row ends in a details link (詳細を見る). The lists themselves name no store and print no price, so where a given title is sold or streamed is not answered on these pages.
The ranking page is the one place where the site explains a method. It covers works released within the last 12 months, and it counts only works that have FANZA ratings and at least 3 reviews. Instead of a plain average, the page says it sorts by a weighted score that corrects the rating of works with few reviews, and that a tie goes to the work with more reviews. The page states 4,641 works as eligible, 24 to a page over 194 pages, with tabs for the last 12 months, for this month's releases and for the new-release list. Anniversary titles from large studios, a MOODYZ release and a Madonna collaboration among them, sit in the top rows beside VR titles. The high-rating shelf on the home page uses a related idea: it says it picks from the last 12 months and combines recent page views with review ratings.
Japan mechanics
AV Joyu DB is built for a domestic audience. Labels, filters and date formats are all Japanese, the only English on the pages is a few shelf headings in capitals and an untranslated pagination line, and there is no language switch. Support is limited to a contact link in the footer, which sits next to links for a disclaimer and a privacy policy.
The site publishes no region or overseas-access statement and shows no age confirmation step before its lists. Nothing is sold on it, so there is no payment route to describe and no question of foreign cards.
The one concrete tie to a store is FANZA: the ranking is built from FANZA review data and the share title uses the FANZA name. The site does not state that FANZA runs it or that it is affiliated with FANZA, and it does not say how it is funded.
Price and access
No price, plan, trial or payment method appears anywhere on the site. The search, the performer list, the release calendar and the ranking carry no account wall and no paid tier, and the site never describes a premium layer. Anything a visitor buys after a lookup is bought at a store of their choosing, under that store's terms.
Who it suits
It suits a reader of Japanese who wants to find a performer's filmography, check which titles came out on a given day, or see how FANZA buyer ratings rank the last 12 months of releases before deciding what to buy. The product-code search helps anyone holding a code from a store who wants the matching title and cast. Release-day browsing is handy for following a month's output day by day, and the birthday list and the fortune page are light extras for regular visitors.
It is a poor fit for a reader who needs an English interface. It does not play video, so it works as a finder and not a destination. Its ranking rests on FANZA reviews, so a work with few or no reviews shows little, and anything with fewer than 3 reviews is left out of the ranking altogether.
