Chronology of adult videos in Japan In Japan, Adult Videos (Japanese: アダルトビデオ , Hepburn: Adaruto Bideo ) (AV) are a genre of pornographic movies distinguishable from pink films on the one hand, and 'V-cinema' or original video Original Videos (オリジナル・ビデオ , Orijinaru Bideo ) (OV) on the other. Adult videos are focused on sex, and may not in some cases have a storyline. They are released initially on video, and pass inspection by an adult video ethics committee such as Nihon Ethics of Video Association (映像倫理機構 , Eizōrin Rinri Kikō ) (NEVA), which enforces the placement of video-masking mosaics over pubic hair or genitalia. Pink films may be concerned with sex, but tend to focus more on story, and they are rated by Eirin (映画倫理管理委員会 , Eiga Rinri Kanri Iinkai ) , rather than an adult video ethics organization. The mainstream studio Nikkatsu focused on pink films through its Roman Porno line from 1971 through 1988. V-cinema or OV also tend to focus on a story, but sex if present is less central, and they are released on video to be displayed in video stores or rental shops alongside mainstream movies. Many V-cinema works are produced by video-focused subsidiaries of the big film studios, e.g. SHV Cinema for Shochiku. OV can be rated by the Eirin or Eizourin depending on the content.
