I wanted to buy some Japanese adult movies and ship them over here to the US, but you're required to have a Japanese residence.
When you provide your credit card #, the card must be registered to a Japanese address, regardless of where you're shipping it. I translated the Amazon pages and researched them thoroughly.
I understand there are intermediaries like Tenso.com that can ship physical orders to the US (like DVDs), but DVDs are fading away and now the supply is mostly Direct-Download (DD) or Prime Video. The selection of DVDs is very small even if I were paying the extra fee for Tenso. What I really want is to be able to purchase Direct-Downloads in the 'Erotica' section of Amazon.co.JP of which there are thousands, with new ones coming out every week. For that it looks like even Tenso wouldn't help me. I love Japanese porn and strongly prefer it to Western porn, not to mention the Japanese supply is much greater.
I can't understand why a paying customer willing to shell out his money would be so restricted. Almost makes me want to travel to Japan to stock up on these videos and bring them back over here, but then I might be detained by American customs for importing "illegal material." America has a hard time with porn and has strict customs.
I couldn't even find any good international catalogs of Japanese erotica that ship to the US, there might be a few with 5-6 DVDs and that's it.
