Genres you wanted added to DLsite

Kiss / Kissing
Voter comments
I've seen so many "Ear Licking" genre tags, but there's never any for "Kissing". Kissing is actually quite popular and I've had trouble finding works that feature mainly kissing. I've searched for kissing works multiple times but I often end up with stuff that just has some kissing mixed in, but it's not a focal point. A genre tag for "Kissing" would be great because it's just as good as "Ear Licking" but still very unique in it's own way. I think it would be a great addition to the genre tags.

It's more representative of the whole Ys series (PC only) which is the ideal of fantasy + adventure + role-playing. -

Cohabitation
Voter comments
I did not know that there's such a genre about getting to live with a girl. Seems like an overlooked genre that can be surprisingly wholesome.

Kunoichi (Ninja Girl)
Voter comments
Honestly, many genres are only seen on DLsite just because there's no other place on the Internet where you can find all these great ASMR in one place. If you're looking for high quality / specific genres of ASMR, DLsite is the only place you should visit. So many of these genres can only be truly found on DLsite.

Plain / Nonpersisting
Voter comments
Honestly, I haven't seen this tag used anywhere else. Maybe some adjacent ones, but not exactly this.

Chosen by men in their 20s for their "last meal":
Ear Cleaning, Depression / Depressing, HealingVoter comments
One of the first works i ever listened to on DLsite, and it holds up as my all time favourite all these years later. It tells an emotionally moving story, and is a work that has been able to help me out of dark places many times - it perfectly balances a story which is equally depressing and healing in nature, providing a perfect escape from reality that leads you oddly relaxed and soothed after.

Someone's idea of the Ultimate Genre
-
Voter comments
The listener has come to know great suffering as a result of growing up. The most vulnerable member of his family, who is accustomed to looking up to her brother, demonstrates the ability to look down at him when he's exposed and broken. She gives him the support and affection he's failed to win as a man. The sister knows him best, and she will use her healthy mind and as many hours as it takes to put her brother's back together again.(Student)
