There are three types of videos.

The preview function allows you to watch the first part of the video for free, regardless of whether you are a non-subscriber, free subscriber, or monthly subscriber.
 

• Free videos: Available for free with either the free subscription or monthly subscription plans.
• Monthly subscription videos: Watch all the videos you want by signing up to the monthly subscription plan. There is no expiration date to watch these videos as long as you are a subscriber.
• Rental Videos: You can watch rental videos for 7 days on a free subscription plan or a monthly subscription plan by using points that are purchasable on the site. Rental videos have 7 days expiration date, so please make sure to watch them before that date.

To make it easy to know which videos are available for viewing, we have put icons in the video thumbnails. The types of icons and the conditions for viewing are as follows.   

F・・・Free videos. Content available to subscribers of the monthly and free plan.
S・・・・Monthly subscription videos. Content available to subscribers of the monthly plan.
Free plan subscribers can also view these videos as rental videos by paying with points.
R・・・Rental videos. Rental videos are rental content that can be viewed by using  pre-purchased points.

Under each video there is a message box that says "Write a comment".                                                                                                                                                        
Please use this to send us your thoughts, comments, and/or  messages of support.

For content with English subtitles available, you can enjoy watching it with subtitles by purchasing points. Subtitles will be added as soon as possible, so we ask for your kind patience.

There are two types of subtitle translation: AI translation and regular translation.

The number of points needed to purchase the subtitles depends on the content.

*AI translations: Translations made by our AI translations software and checked by our dedicated staff. These subtitles are prepared as soon as possible after the content is released.

*Regular translations: Our dedicated staff handles everything from transcription to translation. Although compared to AI translation, the process is slower, these subtitles can be easier to read and understand.
