Hatsubai: it's out, you can buy it on DVD in a bookmate. Release date. Street date.
Haishin: it's streaming. Sometimes it's before the physical release date. Sometimes it isn't. "Leaks" before physical release aren't leaks if it's already streaming, nobody fucking rips DVDs for HD/4K titles. That's it. It's not complicated.

You know how sometimes a smaller/lower budget/artsy film will "Now playing in select theatres" for a week or two and then it'll "Now playing in theatres everywhere"? Or a movie will drop on a specific streaming service before others? Or a music album will have an exclusive bonus track ONLY AT TARGET? Sirs have made it more confusing than it needs to be by tying all the explanations up with still more Japanese words, TL Note: keikaku means plan.

Has interesting peculiarities with VR, mainly because there are no physical releases. Instead you've got 3 months from release before it hits rental, and 1 year before it hits monthly streaming and SLR. except for labels like AQUA where it hits DMM rental and SLR streaming at the same time? - unless it's from a kike studio that doesn't offer rentals or have their material on monthly - or both.
Since so many fucking VR studios are part of SEELE (kek), DMM is the only outlet selling them. And for the ones that are not, there are still some interesting timing discrepancies, KMP used to offer Afesta one month exclusivity on some titles, but the release dates on their own studio website still reflect DMM's release date. i.e. you've now got a haishin/hatsubai "gap" by virtue of KMP calling the official release date the date it hit DMM.
Now that they've started doing the opposite, giving DMM a 1 month exclusive...the release dates on their site still reflect DMM. Go figure.
If you see a ~March 2022 release date for SODVR on anything scraping DMM, it is likely inaccurate. There was the JAV equivalent of a months long carriage dispute between the two of them, and you'll only find the "actual" release date by checking SOD Prime or Afesta.
