PURE ADULT

What PURE ADULT is

PURE ADULT is a Japanese-language mail-order shop for used adult video on physical media, tied to a small group of retail stores in Osaka and Tokyo. The shop trades under the name お宝プレミアビデオ館 (Otakara Premium Video Hall), which its commerce notice gives as the seller, and the home page carries the used-goods dealer permit number of a company it names as (株)ピュアサウンド, Pure Sound. Nothing is streamed or downloaded: the pages sell VHS tapes, video CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, with photo books now also handled. The pages do not say whether the video is mosaic-censored or uncensored, and everything on them, including the order flow, is in Japanese.

What it carries and how it is organized

The about page states the focus: adult videos and DVDs from 1980 onward, in VHS, video CD, DVD and Blu-ray form, with a wide range of titles that it says are now hard to obtain. That makes PURE ADULT a back-catalog shop and not a new-release store. The title rows it shows bear this out: a maker page lists DVDs and videos with release dates from 2000 and 2001, and the home page rows are all tapes. The site's own tagline is the sale and buyback of adult video, and the footer of every page repeats the buyback pitch.

Browsing runs through three routes. A search box takes a performer name, a title, a maker name or a JAN code, the barcode number printed on a package. Beside it sit a performer index and a maker index, both arranged in kana order, so a reader who knows the Japanese syllabary can step through them character by character. The third route is the home page itself, which has a new-titles corner and a restock corner, each row stamped with the date the item came in. In October 2026 those stamps run from October 3 to October 9.

A maker page lists each title with its format, release date, the shop's used selling price and a buyback price beside it, often marked as undecided, which shows that the shop prices the same item in both directions. The pages offer a toggle to show everything or only items in stock, and a toggle between lead performers only and lead plus supporting performers. They show DVD and video as separate display items, so a reader can look at one format at a time. Two maker pages show the scale of a single maker's shelf: the list for ビッグモーカル reports 284 items over 15 pages, and the list for マルクス兄弟 reports 82 items over 5 pages, all tapes. A product page is spare, giving the performer, the title, the format, a product code and the two prices. The pages name no label as exclusive, and they do not state how many titles the shop holds overall.

The shop describes the condition of its stock in plain notes. For VHS, the about page says the tapes are old enough that some picture disturbance from aging is to be expected, that tapes are checked before shipping, and that a faulty item is refunded or exchanged, though a picture fault caused by the buyer's own deck is not covered. For DVDs, the shop notes that jewel-case-sized discs as a rule come without the paper obi strip. No condition scale is published.

The buyback side is as detailed as the sales side. The FAQ says a seller can bring a single item, there is no upper limit, a VHS tape is accepted when its package and tape are together, and a DVD can be taken as a disc only at a reduced price. Items with heavy damage or outside the shop's range may get no offer. A seller can cancel if the quoted amount is unwelcome, with a postal lot returned freight collect, but not after the sale is agreed. Identification is required each time, on a second visit too: a copy of ID for postal buyback, and the original for counter buyback. The shop refuses to buy adult goods from anyone under 18. Postal buyback is offered across Japan, free of charge on conditions the FAQ does not list, and a postal lot is normally quoted on the day it arrives, with a reply the next day that can slip to 3 to 5 business days in busy periods.

Japan mechanics

The seller is a physical business with a stated Japanese footprint. The about page lists a head store and Osaka office in the Nipponbashi district of Naniwa Ward, Osaka, a Nishi-Shinjuku branch in Tokyo, a shared phone and FAX number and business hours of 11:00 to 18:00, while the FAQ says counter buyback is accepted from 11:00 to 22:00. The header of every page prints two Public Safety Commission numbers, one from Tokyo and one from Osaka, and the home page footer labels the Osaka one as the used-goods dealer permit of (株)ピュアサウンド. The home page names three stores, two in Nipponbashi and one in Nishi-Shinjuku, and the FAQ says online orders can be collected at any of the three, though moving an item between stores takes extra time. Stock is sold over the counter and online at the same time, so the FAQ warns that an item can sell out between the two.

On language, the whole site is Japanese. No English page, English support line or subtitle information appears. On region, the pages make no overseas statement at all. They mention no international shipping. The payment and delivery terms are written for domestic customers: cash on delivery, bank transfer and payment at a store counter, plus a FAX order route, and the FAQ's mail advice is addressed to users of the three Japanese mobile carriers. A reader outside Japan should treat the site as a reference for older Japanese releases and what the second-hand market asks for them, not as a shop with a stated route for foreign buyers.

The pages contain no censorship statement and no tag for it.

Price, access and billing

The money buys one physical item at a time, shipped by parcel or collected at a store. Registration is optional: the order page says a customer who has not registered, or does not wish to, may still buy by entering their details at purchase. A sold-out title can be reserved from its product page, with an automatic email sent when it arrives, but purchase is first-come and nothing can be held back for a customer. The same title cannot be ordered more than once, a rule the shop explains as a way to serve more customers. Delivery dates can be chosen only between 3 and 10 days after the order, a rule the FAQ puts down to the security of the goods, and once the dispatch email has gone out a change of date has to be arranged with the carrier.

The order page names three payment methods: cash on delivery, bank transfer and payment at a store. Cash on delivery is paid when the parcel is received. A bank transfer is due within 1 week of the shop's confirmation email, and goods are delivered within 1 week of the payment being confirmed. Store payment is due within 1 week of the email saying the item has reached the store. A customer can change the payment method before dispatch but not after. Card payment is not listed, and no processor is named. FAX orders are possible, on a form linked from the home page, with home delivery and cash on delivery only and no choice of arrival time. Costs beyond the item are shipping, the cash-on-delivery fee where it applies, and consumption tax. Returns are accepted for defective or missing items within 10 days of arrival, after contacting the shop by email or phone, with the shop paying shipping on a defect or a wrong shipment. Two notices on the home page, dated April 3, 2026 and October 1, 2026, announce changes to Sagawa Express and Yu-Pack shipping fees, but the amounts are not given on the home page.

In October 2026 the home-page rows list used prices from 3,934円 to 8,008円, and a maker page lists used prices from 1,320円 to 6,600円, with buyback prices such as 330円 shown beside a 6,600円 item. Prices are per item and are shown as used-sale prices.

Who it suits

PURE ADULT suits a collector in Japan who wants out-of-print tapes and early DVDs and does not mind paying by transfer or on delivery. It also suits someone with old stock to sell, by post or at a counter. It does not suit a reader who wants a download or a stream, an English interface, a stated overseas route, or card payment. The dated arrival rows show new stock coming in, but the pages describe no release schedule.
