A key feature of the AV Open contest was the special marking of participating videos. All entries were released under a specific DVD code—either or OPEN —during a limited two-month sales window, allowing for precise tracking of their commercial performance. This practice turned the contest's product code into a badge of honor, signifying that a particular title was an official entrant in the industry's most prestigious competition.
In the Japanese adult video industry, every official release is assigned a unique product code. This code is the primary identifier for a specific title and is crucial for cataloging, distribution, and consumer recognition. These codes are typically composed of a prefix—which identifies the publishing studio or series—followed by a sequential number. AVOP-371-A-JAVHD-TODAY-1226202102-20-06 Min
