The entire Risa Tachibana catalog has proven elusive. Searching for her work on modern digital platforms is incredibly difficult. It has been heavily speculated that "五年条款" (the "5-year clause") or other rights issues have led to her content being systematically removed from online storefronts like FANZA (the rebranded DMM) and other major digital retailers.
