Daiichisouko

What Daiichisouko is

Daiichisouko (第壱倉庫, meaning first warehouse) is a Japanese online shop for gay adult DVDs and Blu-rays, sold as unopened outlet stock and as used discs, with adult goods on a second shelf and a used-disc buyback service on top. Its masthead calls it the largest-scale site of its kind in the gay-video industry, which is the shop's own claim. The operator is 株式会社ケーオーカンパニー (KO Company), at an address in Kita ward, Osaka. The site is entirely in Japanese.

This is a store of physical discs, shipped by carrier. The site describes no downloads or streaming. Its entry page says the site holds male adult and gay content and turns away anyone under 18, and every page carries a line that the works shown are all creative expression. The pages do not say whether the video on the discs is censored or uncensored.

What it carries and how it is organized

The stock is split into DVD and Blu-ray on one side and goods on the other. The disc search combines filters that each narrow the result: maker and series, type (the look of the performers), genre (what happens in the video), condition and price. The help page says a single filter is enough to search, and a free-word box sits next to the magnifying-glass icon. Goods are browsed by category, among them lotion, condoms, rings and sacks, onaholes, vibrators and dildos, other items, books and an IkuPay charge card (イクペイチャージカード).

Condition is a fixed scale shown beside every price: S is new and unopened, A is used in good shape, B is used with scratches or dirt, and C is disc only. The same title can appear at more than one grade, each with its own price and its own cart button. Product tiles carry status marks as well. A pink background means a release from the last 3 months, a new-arrival mark means the disc came into stock in the last month, a middle mark means a release 3 to 6 months old, and a buyback mark means a title the shop is keen to buy in. Lists can be sorted by arrival, release date or price, and shown 20, 30 or 50 to a page. The FAQ adds one caution for used copies: extras that came with the original release, such as a bonus disc, a photo book or a calendar, are as a rule not included.

The homepage runs a daily arrival notice. On 2026-10-11 it said 50 used items had arrived, on 2026-10-10 a larger batch of 409 used items marked KO, and on 2026-10-09 it said 40. A notice dated 2026-09-25 announces a sale for KO Company's 35th anniversary. A restock-alert service sends an e-mail when a wanted title returns; the FAQ warns that an alert goes to everyone who registered for that title, is no promise of a purchase and works first come, first served. There is also a mail magazine.

Selling to the shop is the third leg. The about page describes a home pickup buyback service (出張買取りサービス), which it calls a first for the trade: a courier collects the discs, with shipping and packing materials free of charge, the seller packs the discs personally so the courier does not see the contents, and a seller who prefers not to meet the courier can post them with the shop paying the postage. The same page promises high appraisal rates and says personal data is used only for the buyback business. The FAQ fills in the procedure. Discs can be sent to the Osaka address without notice, carriage paid on arrival, together with a signed buyback consent form and a copy of an ID document, which the shop asks for on every sale. A valuation e-mail follows about 10 days after arrival, longer in busy periods, the money is paid only into an account in the seller's own name, and the monthly buyback campaigns apply once a parcel holds 3 or more DVDs.

The weekly and monthly rankings show which discs move. The ranking page names the makers KO and COAT, with sub-labels such as eros, BUMP, BEAST, Secret Film, INDIES, Hello! and PRISONER under them, and the site menu links to a KO Group page (KOグループ). The about page presents the range as running from the newest notable releases to rare premium items, and credits that to operating several stores and to a network of its own as a maker. Orders can be placed online around the clock or by phone, with the trade-law page giving 10:00 to 18:00 for calls and e-mail at any hour.

Japan mechanics

KO Company is the seller on the trade-law notice, with an antique-dealer license from the Osaka public safety commission and a notification for a non-storefront adult business, both numbered on the page. The same notice states that the people appearing in the works were confirmed by ID to be 18 or older and are models filmed with their agreement. The about page's company line also gives T2ECOM EU EOOD of Sofia, Bulgaria, and the page footers name BRACE GROVE UK LIMITED of London, Shimatomo ITALY S.R.L.S. of Milan and CREDIX SURELINKS Netherlands B.V. of Amsterdam beside KO Company. The terms give the context for those names: Japanese law governs, a line in English says the laws of Italy apply where the Italian payment route is used, and a card statement may show the name of the payment agency or a shop label beginning UG*T2Ecom followed by a phone number.

There is no English interface or English support. The delivery pages describe only Japanese carriers (Sagawa, Yamato and Japan Post's Yu-Pack) with time-slot delivery, and say delivery outside the main islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu may take about a week. The FAQ states that shipping is within Japan only and that the shop does not ship overseas (発送は日本国内のみ). Bank transfer is stated as Japan-only. The pages also say nothing about disc region codes, and the defect guarantee covers dedicated DVD or Blu-ray players only, not game consoles or computers.

Privacy on delivery is spelled out. Parcels go out in a carrier's bag inside a second wrapping, and the waybill describes the contents as "DVD" or similar; the FAQ says the buyer picks the label from DVD, CD or game software during checkout. A buyer who may be seen opening mail can ask for post-office or carrier-branch hold, and can ask for a different sender name by note. The shop also tells buyers who share a mailbox to use a free web mail address.

Price, access and billing

The shop offers member registration, and its terms say member services are free. The account and its points belong to IkuPon (イクポン), a points scheme shared with partner sites and some partner shops. The FAQ says password, e-mail and withdrawal changes are done on the IkuPon side, and withdrawal removes order history, favorites and points. The terms add that points are never exchanged for cash and lapse after a period without use that the company sets.

Every payment method is prepaid except cash on delivery. Cards, bank transfer, Pay-easy, Rakuten Edy and BitCash are accepted, along with cash by registered mail. The trade-law page names Master and JCB for cards, the buying guide names VISA, Master and JCB, and the FAQ says JCB only, so the card list differs from page to page. The pages name CREDIX as the processor behind Edy and Digital Check (デジタルチェック) as the system behind Pay-easy. The FAQ says card details are not kept on the shop's server.

The payment window is normally 2 weeks, and 1 day for Edy. Delivery takes 2 to 7 days after payment is confirmed, up to 2 weeks if stock is short. A return reason must be reported within 7 days of arrival, and opened, used, damaged or scratched new items are not taken back; the terms say money once received is not refunded outside the defect case. Orders can be canceled before dispatch, whole orders only.

In October 2026 the weekly ranking showed list prices of ¥11,000 with sealed (S) copies at ¥4,950 each. Prices include consumption tax, and the page marks discs with an up-to discount of more than half off list price.

The shipping table read in October 2026 gives ¥500 by Sagawa or Yamato, free on orders of ¥5,500 or more, and ¥500 more for cash on delivery. Yu-Pack from Japan Post costs more, orders at the free-shipping threshold also earn a gift item chosen at checkout, and IkuPon points can be spent against prices at a fixed rate per point.

Who it suits

Daiichisouko suits a buyer in Japan who wants gay DVDs and Blu-rays at outlet or used prices, or a collector hunting an older title, or someone who wants to sell discs and have them collected. It suits a reader abroad badly: the shop ships only inside Japan and its pages are Japanese throughout. It is also the wrong place for streaming, downloads or non-gay Japanese video.
