About Japan Club
Read below to get information about our community, registration process, and rules.Community
JClub is a private community forum created for and supported by Japanophiles who value their privacy. We have a massive media gallery that is regularly updated with high-quality photos and videos, we take requests for content, and we even help members obtain items from Japan. We discuss anything and everything related to Japanese culture, including music, movies, anime, manga, JAV, gravure, junior idols, AI art, and anything else Japanese. We trust our members to self-moderate, and we do not use predatory file-sharing services like Filejoker. Our site is similar to Akiba Online - but better.Moderation
Jclub does not believe in moderation, and we trust our users to self-moderate. If you join, it is up to you to resolve any issues with your fellow community members, and to decide what content you will view / post.Legality
Our site owners and moderators live in Japan, and our site operates under Japanese Law. We do not respond to any legal requests that do not originate from Japanese authorities. Our content is legal in Japan, but it may not be legal in your country. In order to ensure safe usage of our site, check the laws of your country. Jclub is not responsible for any negative consequence resulting from the use of our site.Morality
Jclub does not tolerate people who play morality police. Our community respects and appreciates Japanese culture, no matter how bizarre. If it's legal in Japan, it's allowed here. Leave your western ideologies at the door.Registration and Membership
All users must register for a free membership to access anything on the site. A free membership gives you access to most threads, and to a vast collection of user-submitted content. After registering for a free membership, if you'd like to upgrade, you will have access to three optional paid tiers:- Kouhai Tier - Access to all threads, and access to all photos in the media gallery. 5 USD / mo.
- Senpai Tier - Everything from the previous tier + access to all videos in the media gallery. 10 USD/ mo.
- Otaku Tier - Everything from the previous tiers + access to AI text-to-image UI (Coming Soon). 30 USD/mo.
The tier prices were set after considering our member's feedback. We feel these tiers are fair for the content they provide, since even the lowest tier provides massive savings over the traditional means of acquiring our content from separate sites, and much of our content is unique and only obtainable within Japan. Upgraded memberships help keep our site online, but you are in no way required to upgrade, and our free membership provides quite a lot of content.
Upgrade Instructions
If you do decide to upgrade your membership, please do the following:- Register for a free account (and automatically gain access to free threads and media).
- After registering for a free account, click on the "Upgrade Membership Here" forum and then the "How to Upgrade" thread, and follow the instructions.
- Once payment is processed, your forum and media gallery permissions will be upgraded by an administrator.
- Enjoy massive benefits, including thousands of photos and videos.
The Media Gallery
The media gallery is our most significant feature, and we are confident that it can't be beaten without paying substantially more for the same content. Much of our media gallery content is purchased in Japan, and a large portion of it is unavailable anywhere else, requiring a Japanese credit card. We have thousands of photo and video galleries featuring JAV actresses, junior idols, gravure models, manga, anime, music, cinema, hentai, Ai art, and more. Again, this is content that you can't find anywhere or else and would require multiple memberships elsewhere, costing much more than even our Otaku tier. The media gallery alone is worth the Jclub subscription!Store
From time to time, we offer physical items for sale in our store. The store is only accessible to members. The items we sell are rare collectibles that can only be obtained in Japan. We also can get special items by request, but this feature requires a Kouhai or higher membership.Payment Methods
Premium subscriptions are purchased via a Kofi subscription, but if you are concerned about privacy, you can contact a moderator and request payment via Bitcoin or Monero.Privacy
We value your privacy and will never give your personal information away. With that in mind, we highly suggest registering with an anonymous e-mail provider like Proton.me before joining our site. Should you have a privacy concern, contact one of our moderators to schedule a secure chat or file exchange via Onionshare. All special requests and any transactions that result from special requests must take place via Onionshare.If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to reach out to a moderator or administrator.
We look forward to seeing you in our community!
