About the editor
Sophie Dubois
Studio JAV & fetish specialist
I've been with the catalog since 2016, building a deep knowledge of Japanese studio releases, especially in niche fetish and bondage. My work covers major studios like Attackers, Madonna, and Moodyz, focusing on their monthly line-ups and performer contracts. I review roughly 300 titles per month, which means tracking dozens of studio schedules, checking for delayed releases, and noting performer appearances across multiple labels. My tooling background is in fan-translation and metadata management; I often decode studio plot summaries and performer stage names for a Western audience. I pay close attention to series continuity within studios, like Attackers' 'Abnormal Sanctum' or Madonna's 'Beautiful Neighbor' lines. I also monitor the crossover between studio work and performer social media, which sometimes hints at upcoming projects. The job involves sifting through promotional materials, pre-order listings, and sometimes raw sales data to predict which titles will gain fan traction. I maintain spreadsheets linking performers to their agencies and noting when they shift between studios. It's less about personal taste and more about creating a clear, searchable record of an incredibly dense and fast-moving industry for collectors and trackers.
