Company information
editThe Glory Quest studio has produced adult videos since at least June 10, 2000, when it released Sweet Doll 01 (スイートドールスペシャル 01) on VHS (SDS-01).[2] In December 2019, DMM listed 3532 videos available for purchase under the Glory Quest studio, and 2110 videos under the GLORY QUEST label.[3][4] The company releases its videos twice a month, at a rate of about 18–20 videos per month.[5] On their website, www.gloryquest.tv, members can download videos and order Glory Quest DVDs. They also sell its products in stores throughout Japan.[6]
Glory Quest produces adult videos in various adult genres, including popular actresses in "big bust" (巨乳) videos.[7] It has also made more extreme fetish videos under its Maniac label, including such genres as fisting, S&M, scat and, at one time, bestiality.[8][9] Its Maniac Shemale, Transgender and Ultra Sex labels feature videos with transsexual actresses.[10]
Another notable genre for Glory Quest has been "elder porn", a fast-growing niche in Japanese pornography. As Glory Quest public relations representative Kayoko Iimura has said: "If we only make standard fare, we cannot beat other studios ... so we wanted to make something new. A relationship between wife and an old father-in-law has enough twist to create an atmosphere of mystery and captivate viewer's hearts."[11] Glory Quest's elder star is Shigeo Tokuda, born in 1934, who has "proved to be a goldmine for Glory Quest" with two "old man" series: Maniac Training of Lolitas (December 2004) and Forbidden Elderly Care (Forbidden Nursing) (August 2006). A third series, Big Tits Loving Grandfather Erotic Mischief, began in April 2008.[11][12]
Glory Quest, incorporated as GQE Inc. (有限会社GQE), had capital of 3 million yen (about $30,000) in 2010. Its CEO is Ken Miyasaka (宮坂謙).[1] It remains an independent company and is not part of a conglomerate. Like other Japanese AV companies, it belongs to one of the voluntary "ethics groups" which regulate content and censorship: the Content Soft Association (CSA) (Japanese: コンテンツ・ソフト協同組合 [Software Content Association]), a creation of the Soft On Demand group of companies.[13]
