As to the log-in problems, I can't speak to that - as to the issue of censored, uncensored Japanese vids, on the very first page when you browse the site, they say, "Looking for uncensored XXX Japanese porn videos? We've got it too !"
That ought to tell you that much of the Japanese porn vids that they have are censored - because that's the standard for Japanese porn vids. As to the uncensored stuff all being old, they just posted 2 new uncensored vids on 5/27/09. I see several other uncensored vids having been posted in May as well.
They also have quite a bit of information for non-members to read about their updates and the various sections of the site, a number of which describe themselves as soft-core.
As far as the censored aspect, it seems to me that you're blaming this site for your lack of knowledge about the censored aspect of Japanese porn. I don't know if you browsed this forum for info on the site before you joined, but if you had you would have been informed in most, if not all, of the reviews and comments that most Japanese porn has mosaic/censoring.
As to the log-in issues, that's on them. If sites are going to charge for access to their sites, they owe it to their members to assist them to get that access.
All true - and the quality downloads from this site are the best I've found - I don't know, 15 gb limits doesn't seem like it's some crazy draconian restrictions to me so it's hard for me to go along with the outrage about them. I never had a problem when I was a member and I'll probably join this site again someday.
There definitely seems to be a back-and-forth conversation between Japanese and US-porn. My fave US-porn guys, like Jules Jordan, have definitely shown signs for years of being influenced by Japanese porn, and watching some of the more hard-edged rough and kinky stuff being produced by DAS and Attackers, it seems that they are repaying the favor by picking up on some of Jules' ideas - since in both cases, they're picking up tips from the best rather than the most mediocre people working, it's a really good thing, in my view.
I raise the "unattractive guys" thing as a con mainly as a response to the sentiments that I've seen expressed in this forum.
For my tastes, being an ordinary-looking guy, there's actually a cool element for me in all these ordinary looking guys having naughty fun with these hot girls in Japanese porn.
The bigger turn-off for me is seeing the Wicked and Vivid-style stuff where they're just looking for the guy to be a hard dick to use with the girl and there's no groping, stroking, squeezing of the luscious bods of the girls or any sign of attraction by the guys. The guys in Japanese porn definitely seem interested in all the pervy things that they are doing with the girls.

Pros:
Excellent rate of updates - almost everyday they have a new full-length vid or photo set added - some days they have multiple updates
Excellent variety - they have great cutie-pie stuff, especially their photo sets. They also have a LOT of very kinky material - and the Japanese take their kinks seriously!
Excellent quality - everything they present, they present in high quality. Full length vids are up to 2.5 gb. I haven't seen other sites that are offering these vids for membership download in that size or quality file sizes.
Download speeds are high quality as well - I generally experience download speeds of 500 kb/sec+
Besides the Gravure (high-quality model pics) and biggest studio releases (Attackers, DAS, S1), they also Uraban (uncensored photo sets - banned in Japan) and uncensored vids as well as weird fetish vids (such as Cat Fight Anal Pro Wrestling)
Cons:
Mosaic issue - any site presenting authentic Japanese erotica is going to have the mosaic issue on most of the top-line Japanese AV being presented - that's a fact of life, and a frustrating one for those of used to Western-style porn
Price - the lowest price available is $59.95 for 2 months. That's quite high as compared to other porn sites. I did as much price-comparing as I could with other similar sites and decided to join this one because of the mix of pics and vids, but the price is high.
Unattractive guys - I don't care personally, to tell the truth, but it seems like there are members of this forum that are turned off if there are unattractive guys in guy/girl scenes. There are lots of them in Japanese video, where if you can get it up on camera, and are willing to be on camera, you can be a male performer.
Download limit - 8 gb/day - not a problem for me, to be honest, but it's there
Navigation - I wish there was a search by category of vid - cosplay, etc
Bottom Line:
I joined this site because I was frustrated at the various Asian porn sites that were only presenting shellaced/photo-shopped photo sets and short vids. I wanted to see good high-quality photos of hot Asian honeys where I could see what they actually looked like instead of how much time the site's photo-shop crew could spend covering them up.
I wanted to see the hottest Japanese AV babes being put through their paces. This site fit the bill and delivers quite well. I love how cute the girls are and I love all the well-filmed kinky stuff they do - the cosplay, schoolgirl themes and gang-bang fantasies are all really hot to me.
I haven't seen other sites presenting this high-quality combo of new photo-sets and new vids that are download-able in this quality.
That also means BIG files - so don't join without a huge hard-drive or DVD burner. You'll just frustrate yourself. The site indicates that you can stream vids and perhaps there are some where that's true - I haven't found them.
I would have rated this site higher if
a) The navigation were better, so I could more easily find the material I'm most interested in
b) The mosaic issue weren't as frustrating as it is to someone raised on Western porn - they do strive to present thin-mosaic and uncensored material when they can get it.
c) I could find more nude and upskirt photo-sets. Most of their photo-sets have clothing, from what I've seen.
If you like Digital Playground material, joining DigitalPlayground.com is a much better deal. Frequent updates of a range of their material, including the Jack's stuff, with lots of photo set updates as well as vids. They don't allow downloading of scenes, though, it's all streamed - and the streamed display is decent, though not great. They also rotate material out without warning. And if you're joining to see Pirates, well it's not there.
I think when I joined Digital Playground, it was $19.95/month, then I was going to leave after 1 month and they offered me the site at $10/month. I stuck around a while. Then I got bored and they rotated out my favorite scenes - Nautica Thorn from the first and second Mission Teen America's - so I really had no reason to stick around since I've never been a big fan of Jesse Jane - and they're producing so much stuff that's just not hot.
As I said originally, this is an active site - the pic sets aren't in the thousands of pics, but they are average size pic sets for an internet model site. This is a professionally done site. I was a member for a month, had no complaints. If you can check out her cam shows, those are really fun. She'll talk about anything you want to talk about, leads rather a crazy life - gets kicked out of hotels at adult conventions for being too rowdy, etc. And her bod looks awesome on web cam.
You don't see evidence that it's an active site? What about the detailed listing on the home page of photo set updates on 11/17, 11/14, 11/10, 11/03, 10/31, 10/27, 10/24, 10/20, 10/17, 10/16, etc? That isn't a clue? Then there's the cam show schedule, which is accurate.
I'm not currently a member, but there was at least 1 new vid a week, sometimes more.
as with the comment I posted to the comment about this site, this is an old dead site - 2-3 years old, probably. After Jana left this webmaster, she had IDreamOfJana.com, then left that when she was gettin more frisky and Ninnworx built a site around her when she was a contract girl with them and now she has a new site that she's running with Sandy Summers and her webmaster called ClubJanaJordan.com with frequent updates, hot girl/girl and masturbation stuff, webcam shows, etc.
If you're a Jana fan, don't waste your time with the dead sites, check out her new active site.
Yeah, too bad you didn't post a comment first asking if anybody knew anything about this site. I could have told you that it was a dead site. This was actually 3 sites ago for Jana. She did this site, then she did IDreamOfJana.com, then Ninnworx built a site around her when she was a contract girl with them. Now she has a site that she's operating with Sandy Summers, formerly Naughty Girl Sandy, and her webmasters, called ClubJanaJordan.com. That site is updating multiple times a week and has more than Jana Rocks already, most likely, including hot girl/girl & masturbation vids.
Oh, well. If you're a Jana fan, that's the site that I would recommend.
Jelena is another of the models doing cam shows at Misha's 1ModelCam Network - pretty regularly doing a show at some point during the week. Her next scheduled cam show is this Thursday at 7 PM Pacific Time. I don't know if her site links to this network - it would be odd if it did not.
First of all, it helps if you know what studio you're dealing with. Jenna works with Jules Jordan's company. Pirates 2 was a Digital Playground DVD, so you're not going to find it on a pay website other than one run or licensed by Digital Playground - and they've got a few sites.
But, the truth is that there is no search for vid titles anywhere on the whole Premium Pass network - yeah, the majority of Jenna's scenes are from DVD's, along with a smaller number of web-only scenes. And I believe that ALL of Jules Jordan's scenes are from his DVD's - but there is no labelling by title and therefore no search by title. You can, however, easily search Premium Pass by the pornstar's name and that will show you all of that performer's work across the network.
The best news about Jenna's site is that she finally started updating again shortly after this year's AVN awards. I'll take some of the credit, as I was being pretty insistently obnoxious on her forum about the lack of updates, basically said that if it was a dead site, they should close it down, if not they should start updating. Now vids and pic sets are coming every 2 weeks each on Jenna's site - every site in the Premium Pass network is its own entity, so that regularity does NOT spread throughout the network.
If you're on East Coast US time, you can probably catch a lot of live shows. If you're a west coast normal working hours guy, you're out of luck these days, though many of the sites archive their cam shows - not Jenna's, though, for no reason that anybody has figured out.
Jenna's loved by porn fans because she puts her all into every scene she does - physically, vocally, she aims to make every scene a barn-burner and is honest enough to say when scenes have missed the mark. She did a recent scene for Brazzers recently and was chatting about it at a cam show saying, "Eh - it was OK. But we should have gone further. We didn't make it really special like we should have." Of course, people who don't like an over-the-top performance or a lot of vocalization and dirty talking might not like Jenna's work.
But she knows who she is performing for and she knows that the guys that she is performing for LOVE that stuff!

Pros:
Jenna's a hot babe
Jenna's new stuff can be seen here exclusively and it's really good
This site is part of a network so that there are other porn babes' sites to access and enjoy and Cam-modelz archives to explore
Included in the network are Jules Jordan's sites - his stuff is not available to download elsewhere that I'm aware and his stuff is among the best porn being created these days.
Pic sets on all sites can be downloaded as zips with pic size as 1200X1600
Vids are a good size also 720X408 and play back well
Jenna's cam shows are very entertaining - she's a great tease
The price is quite reasonable - I believe that I paid $80 or so for a year.
Cons:
If you're a Jenna fan, you'll very likely be frustrated at the lack of updates. The last vid update on Jenna's site was 10/28/10. Jenna has expressed frustration that the people that have responsibility for updating the site with the material she provides aren't. She really needs to get other people to do that.
It's one of the bizarre elements of this network that the various sites seem independent of each other and have responsibility to do their thing independent of Premium Pass, which basically hosts the whole thing.
Some sites update a lot, like Lexi Belle's site - and Lexi can be counted on to do cam shows when advertised. Other sites, like Shawna Lenee's and haven't updated since June 2010.
Some of the porn babes don't show for cam shows when scheduled or have never worked out the Stream-mate kinks so that members of this network actually have access to their shows.
Bottom Line:
Lots to see for new members:
Jenna's site has 149 vids - many exclusive to this site - tease vids - many from her recent DVD's - "Darkside" to the present and 121 photo sets - most are small sets
Jules Jordan's sites - there are a few - but all the material can be accessed through JulesJordan.com - have over 500 vids and over 240 photo sets - updates continue at a good rate on Jules' sites.
Lexi Belle's site started up at the end of January 2009, but she's done a lot for her site, so there are already 89 vids and 79 photosets - she's doing a lot of work for Juliland.com, as is Audrey Bitoni - both of them post their Juliland.com work on their respective sites - that stuff is very odd and surreal - similar to Gregory Dark in his hey-day.
Premium Pass also posts vids and photosets, some of which are actually good, most of which are the type that you'll find on all the porn DVD sites - standard licenced stuff.
The frustrating stuff about this network is the glitchiness - the no-show cam shows by people like Tori Black and Tori Lane or the - no-access cam shows months after they moved to the current network, which they should have figured out by now if they gave a shit.
The lack of recent updates on Jenna's site - especially vids and updated of her cam show archives - pisses me off. Jenna's a BUSY woman and she just needs to find someone reliable to run the site for her and kick whoever she's paying now to the curb.
That fact makes me bring the score of the site and network down to 70. If I were mainly joining because of Lexi Belle, I'd probably score it quite a bit higher.
Jenna's site is getting better - not just putting up scenes that have appeared on DVD, but putting up exclusive photo sets and vids. And the real treat for me - she did the third webcam show in a month tonight. The first 2 were solo. This one had 30 minutes plus of great tease followed by a live bj of her boyfriend, Jules Jordan, with Jenna playing with the cum in her sexy mouth afterwards.
Jenna's an amazing tease. I can't think of another major porn babe, aside from Jana Cova, doing such great stuff for her site members.
Jenna's site is part of a network that includes Jules' sites, which update at least once a week, Eva Evangelina's site, which is just starting, Katsuni's site, which is new and is updating multiple times a week, and Premium Pass, which also updates several times a week.
I remember when Jesse Capelli used to do weekly cam shows at Misha's cam network when her site was new and active. I could tell it was going way downhill in the last days of her public forum, which I checked now and then. The poor members were complaining about the lack of updates, Jesse's posts in response were bitchy as hell - all "What do you expect? I'm busy!"
The rate of updates of all of the Jules Jordan-related sites in this network has slowed down to a depressing level, unfortunately. They've added more porn star sites to the network, but the sites that were exciting in the network - the Jules Jordan sites, Jenna's site, have really gone to hell in the updates dept.
I see the distinction that you were making - I'd have phrased it differently, but I'm sure you hear a lot of that.
I hope she starts doing cam shows and lives up to your review. She's a cool person from what I've seen of her.
One thing I've found with porn star sites is that many porn stars would be better off having their site run by a professional site manager. Stephanie Swift's site has never lived up to it's promise because she's tried to do it herself while feature dancing and going to school and...
And she's not a web site designer so she had to rely on other people on an a la carte basis and was frequently ripped off and the site suffered because of it. If porn stars can find a company they trust to run their site, they are probably better off, I've found.
In the new Best Porn Review, something that struck me was this:
Among the cons was that live cam shows are promised but none are scheduled. But then the bottom line headline was that this was an "honest" site.
Huh?
What's honest about promising something significant such as live cam shows and then not delivering them - not having them scheduled, not giving any indication when they will be taking place or when the last one took place, according to the review.
That's not an indication of an honest site in my book, unfortunately. I do like Joanna Angel, though, and saw her do a great live cam show with Jenna Haze at Jenna's site - it's archived there too to be watched at will.
Steve Lightspeed is the King of Recycling Content - he's been using the same limited amount of content for years, occasionally tossing a bone of something new. I have to say that I loved the girl scout set that Jordan did a year or so ago - had high hopes that she was back doing new stuff - nahhhhhhh.
It's hard for me to see why Steve Lightspeed is thought of highly in any way other than having shown a whole LOT of people how they can turn a fast buck on cute girls not doing much. His photography is not all that good, his videography is even worse. His site design is rather abysmal and he doesn't seem to have much in the way of personal charm from anything I can tell from reading his posts at various forums over the years.
Other than that, I love the guy - at least he brought us Jordan, I suppose that's something.

Pros:
Jules Jordan has been making great gonzo porn for a long time and his site has been active since 2011, according to TBP, so this is another site with a massively deep archive. The list of performers on the site runs to over 800, though this also includes male performers - though you'll see the same male performers in many different scenes - Steve Holmes, for instance, is listed as appearing in 101 scenes on the site. There are over 2300 scenes on the site. Updates come at least every 3 days and lately they have been adding CamSoda scenes, which function as bonuses as they don't replace the every-3-day updates. They advertise that this site includes ManuelFerrara.com, but I'm not sure if all of that site is included as I don't see the latest Khloe Kapri scene from that site on JulesJordan.com, though maybe it w/b added soon. Both Manuel and Jules' scenes are incredibly well filmed, great production values, great camera work, lots of tease - 15 minutes of tease & solo stuff often.
Cons:
Honestly, trying to think of cons with a site this excellent is difficult. This is a site that I join for a month when they have a special a few times a year. If there were more different visions being presented on the site, or if either of them were as wacko as a Rocco Sifredi where you never know what they might do in their next scene, I might join & stay. Jules & Manuel both have their patterns of how they do scenes & that's what you're going to see here, very reliably, very professionally, very well made. The recent scene where Jules meets Vina Sky on the beach & takes her home & fucks her, could be a remake of the scene from a few years ago where Jules meets Amia Miley on the beach & takes her home & fucks her. If you get sick of Jules or Manuel or Steve Holmes, well, you're going to see lots of them on this site. I do see some remastered scenes being released without being labeled as such, if that's a turn-off. It's rare & there is so much new, it's no big issue.
Bottom Line:
One caveat to the lack of different visions - they did do a recent DVD called "Bad Cop Bad City" that has a style similar to Blacked Raw that is different than most of the material on the site - very fun stuff. I hope they experiment more in that way. The bottom line is that this is one of the best sites there is for combining great tease with great hard sex. I've never run across a problem with older scenes not working. Videos are offered for download in 5 different sizes from 360p to 4K. I've never seen the site mess around with "pay extra for downloads" crap. All of Manuel & Jules' scenes have photo sets that can be downloaded as zips as well as zips of 4K screenshots. The screenshots are 3840 x 2160. The photos download as 4000 x 2667. And their scenes come with photo sets of over 100-250+ photos. So if you're a photo fan, as I am, you'll be quite happy. These days TBP is offering this site at $9.95 - I'm not sure if that's only for the first months, but it's a great price for this site. I highly recommend it.
Yeah - that is some amazing BS with that site, isn't it? I like Jannah, and she's a really hot woman, but she's also rather a hustler to have a site where you can't save pics.
Did you ever see her Girls Gone Wild scene? She didn't show anything, but it was fun watching the "contest" between her and GGW guy to see who was going to control the situation. She won, hands down.
