Are MIDE and MIDV the same label?

Yes, both are MOODYZ. MIDV succeeded MIDE as the main numbering line, which had itself succeeded MIDD — and MIDA has since succeeded MIDV. The letters change, the label does not.

Why does MOODYZ have several active prefixes at once?

Because it runs parallel lines rather than a single queue. A broad catalogue split across series needs more numbering space than one prefix provides, so separate lines run side by side.

Is a MOODYZ series the same as a MOODYZ prefix?

Not always. Some series have their own prefix; many share a prefix and are identified only by the title and cover design. The prefix tells you the line, not necessarily the series.

MOODYZ: Code Families and House Style

MOODYZ is a major Japanese adult video label built around long-running numbered series covering an unusually broad range of genres. Its main numbering line has moved through prefixes including MIDD, MIDE, MIDV and now MIDA, with parallel prefixes such as MIAA and MIAB running as separate lines.

MOODYZ is the genre generalist among the major Japanese adult video labels. Where flagship labels organise around a small roster of contracted performers, MOODYZ organises around series — recurring, numbered concepts that run for years and accumulate dozens of entries, with casting rotating through them.

That structure explains its codes. A catalogue this broad needs more numbering space than one prefix can supply, so MOODYZ runs several lines in parallel and retires them in sequence.

What are the MOODYZ code families?

There is a main chain and at least one parallel chain, plus dedicated lines for compilations, newcomers and themed sub-brands.

Prefix	Role	Era
MIDA	Current main line	Most recent
MIDV	Previous main line	Immediately before MIDA
MIDE	Earlier main line	Before MIDV
MIDD	Earlier main line	Before MIDE
MIAB	Current parallel line	Recent
MIAA	Previous parallel line	Before MIAB
MIZD	Compilation / best-of releases	Long-running, still active
MIFD	Newcomer / debut line	Long-running, still active
MIMK	Themed sub-brand line	Long-running, still active

Checked 2026-08-03 against MOODYZ's own catalogue and FANZA product records. MIDV closed at 999 in December 2024 and MIDA opened two months later, under the same sub-brand name FANZA had already been filing MIDV under — so it is a numbering reset, not a new line. MIAA and MIAB are two eras of a second MOODYZ sub-brand, filed under one shared label name that is distinct from the main line. MIZD is confirmed as the compilation line and was still issuing numbers in August 2026.

Reading rules:

Two active prefixes do not mean two studios. MIDA and MIAB are both current; they are separate queues inside one label.
Numbers never cross prefixes. MIDE-500 and MIDV-500 share nothing.
Compilation lines break chronology. A compilation released this year can contain footage shot many years earlier under a retired prefix.

What does the MOODYZ house style actually look like?

Series-first and genre-wide. The recognisable MOODYZ artefact is a concept that gets repeated and refined across many entries — a premise strong enough to support a numbered run, executed with consistent art direction so the entries read as a set.

The practical difference from a star-led label is where the promotional weight falls. On a flagship label, the performer is the product and the concept is the wrapper. On MOODYZ, the series is frequently the product and the casting is what varies. Both models coexist in the catalogue — MOODYZ also works with performers under exclusive contract — but the series backbone is what gives the label its identity.

Axis	MOODYZ tends toward	Nearest contrast
Organising unit	The series	S1 NO.1 STYLE organises by performer
Genre range	Deliberately broad	Madonna is single-theme by design
Cover design	Strong series identity, repeated layouts	Flagship labels foreground the performer's face
Cadence	High volume across parallel lines	Narrow labels run a single queue

How do you tell a MOODYZ series apart from a MOODYZ prefix?

The prefix is the numbering queue; the series is the editorial concept. Some series get their own prefix, but many share one and are distinguished only by the title text and the cover layout.

This is worth internalising because search behaves differently for each. Searching a prefix returns a numbering line, which may span a dozen unrelated concepts. Searching a series name returns the concept, which may span several prefixes and several years. If you are trying to find "more like this one", the series name is almost always the better query.

Why can't we tell you how many MOODYZ titles exist?

Because we do not maintain a release database, and estimating one would be guesswork dressed as data.

What our index actually is, as of the 2026-08 snapshot: 241,792 indexed faces drawn from 106 sites, resolving to 2,333 named performers. The distribution is uneven and we state it openly — 2,246 of the 2,333 performers have their representative image from one single source site. Biographical fields are partially covered: birth date 56%, bust size 59%, debut date 59%, height 57%, measurements 56%, birthplace 31%.

An index like that supports one claim well — this face matches this named performer, at this similarity score — and does not support claims about label output at all. When you see a precise release total for any studio, ask where it came from; usually the answer is a scrape of one storefront, which is a measure of that storefront rather than of the label.

What should you check before trusting a MOODYZ code?

Prefix plausibility. Mistyped prefixes propagate fast through re-uploads. A prefix you cannot find in any catalogue is probably a typo for a real one.
Suffixes are not official. Trailing markers for resolution, region or uncensored versions come from distributors and re-uploaders, not the label.
Era consistency. A retired prefix paired with a recently debuted performer usually means the code has been attached to the wrong title.
Compilation flag. If the code sits on a compilation line, the release date tells you when it was packaged, not when it was shot.
