JAV VR: News, comments about releases, recommendations, hardware

At last, a new VR of Kawakita Saika. Unfortunately for me, it's another VR for the weird costumes and oil fans... Chewbaka sure enjoys it. Me, just the end of the last scene...

I'm actually am not a fan of the Chinese outfit thing though, not especially the hair buns. The cheongsams, kind of. as those can be sexy. But I prefer the hair down.

Its still nice to get a VR of Saika before she goes on hiatus though.

Moody and S1 are rather slow when it comes to VR, unfortunately. But at least their releases are usually decent.
That's true and I've never said anything to the contrary. My main criticism with them but especially S1 was that they are slow while having 100% exclusivity contracts. So they have all these 'assets' but make very little out of them. Compare that to free agents like Aya Konami. Her return was less than a year ago and she has already done over 20 VRs because she can freely choose the studios she works with. That's more than S1 does in 3-4 month with all our their exclusive lineup. So for Aya it's a free market, if she is good at VR and people buy the movies she is in than the studio will produce more with her. Not the case if you are in an exclusive contract with these studios.

KMP produces lots of VR but its mostly low quality trash. Even having someone as hot as Ozaki Erika in them doesn't save it most of them time.
I've said nothing about KMP in that regard, but sure, why not make that comparison. What I agree on is that in general the studios you mentioned before have higher quality releases on average, which means that if you take 10 releases of these studios at random than KMP wouldn't be able to compete. But KMP releases at a much higher rate and they also have zero exclusivity contracts which is my main criticism, so bringing them in is kinda besides the point. But let's keep going with the argument. Also as I understand it 'KMP' is a bunch of creators that work more or less independent. So the quality of their releases are all over the place. But some of them know what they are doing.

Another thing is that now even the VRKM label (which I deem lower quality in general than SAVR) releases 100% with 8k cameras for several month now and they have a higher bitrate/picture quality in 8k than S1 because SIVR reduces bitrate to around 50% file size compared to the 4k releases which is a waste imo. Again, they have all these beautiful/exclusive girls but skim on file size more than most other studios. Makes no sense to me if I claim to be the "No. 1" studio.

And I disagree with that KMP is "mostly low quality trash", but tastes are different I guess. For me they had around 10-12 good releases in the last two month.

That's another thing. They also tend to make the 2nd release like that, not my thing either. So now it actually needs 3 instead of 2 SIVR releases which will never happen for most of their lineup.

I discarded RSRVR-042, not because of the dyed hair (it's true that I don't like it, but my attraction for Ena is stronger than that), but because there is no close missionary or face-to-face missionary, as I call it.
Understood. Yes, RSRVR-042 has a missonary but not with the angle you demand. They use a rather outdated method. I've just discovered that this angle is at least ~4 years old. The oldest release I could find was 3DSVR-0816 from December 2020. Maybe they did the angle before that? That was long before I even got into VR and so many studios still struggle with it to this day. Back then SOD even advertised the angle on their artwork with the two neat illustrations in the bottom left.

I've liked from Resorevo, which I also bought and find to be an absolute joy, is RSRVR-013.
Kiyoka Igarashi is great. No sure why she hasn't release anything in 2024.

Exactly. The same applies to Moodyz, Idea Pocket, Prestige... The main torture we JAV VR fans have is that many top exclusive actresses only shoot 1 or 2 VRs a year. And we can be thankful for that, because some of them don't even do that. I've been waiting two years for a new Washio Mei VR...

A good example is Kawakita Saika's new VR. I think it's been almost a year since she's shot in VR, she releases a new title, and you don't like.... You're annoyed because now you have to wait another year....
I don't know how many titles she shoots in flat, but there are many more... If she shoots one VR a month, or every two months, even if you don't like one, you know that soon there will be more... But with actresses who only shoot one VR every one or two years, it is torture.

Ichika Matsumoto as freelance, filming a lot of VRs, studios promoting full nudity on the covers (now there are only clothed girls), the face-to-face missionary at its best, SOD VR making immersive and “normal” movies... How I miss 2020... :(

I think this angle was invented by Yazawa Receive on those SOD VR titles you mention, back in 2020. When I watched it, my head exploded, because all previous VRs were immediately outdated.... As you say SOD promoted it for a while because it was the new big thing, but sadly they rarely use it in the last two years. Reason why I hardly buy anything from them. Luckily it's very common with Moodyz, S1, and to a lesser extent, Kawai and Unfinished, that saves me.

Not to say that 100% of the VRs I watch have that face-to-face missionary, but 100% of the movies I buy do. I have VRs without this camera shot, but they are of actresses who have very few movies. In the case of Ena Satsuki in RSRVR-042, since I have several Ena movies with that camera angle, this film didn't add anything for me.

they have a higher bitrate/picture quality in 8k than S1 because SIVR reduces bitrate to around 50% file size compared to the 4k releases which is a waste imo

S1 has the worst 8K image quality of all JAV VR by far, along with Aqua (which is a disaster in everything). As you say, they brag about being #1, have amazing actresses, and then deliver the worst 8K image quality of all JAV VR...


Kiyoka Igarashi is great. No sure why she hasn't release anything in 2024.

She filmed a VR with SOD VR in April. It's not at Akiba, I don't know why. Not bad, but the image quality is terrible:

I wasn't aware that they literally had the worst 8k image quality from the big studios. I thought Idea Pocket was even worse. But you are right from the few releases that I've compared they have the lowest bitrate, but not by much.

Must have been crazy times. A few years prior to 2020 4k wasn't even a thing. Then within a couple month: better image quality, better cameras, higher resolution, new and improved angles and all the studios producing vanilla content for the most part while more and more content is being released.

Ah, yes I know that release but for some reason I thought it came out early, most likely because it was just in 4k.

Maybe check on it again if you think the image quality is horrible. For an 4k release it's not bad. The problem was that they released the first part in an unacceptable condition, something must have been wrong with it. But the other part should be fine.

Yes, Idea Pocket is on the same level as S1 in terms of mediocre 8K image quality. And I'm not just referring to the bitrate, personally I notice it at a glance, just watching the movies.

Unfortunately, the VR boom came when it looked the worst, those 2K VR movies people watched with Google Cardboard, or cell phones. They looked terrible, not only because of the movies but also because of the hardware. That's probably why many people abandoned VR, and it got a bad reputation.

I started in 2019, when all the studios were already editing in 4K. Back then VR movies were not very immersive, they were shot as if it was flat video, with the camera 1 or 2 meters away and very little interaction.

For me the great genius of modern VR is the director Yazawa Receive, he was the one who started shooting very immersive movies, with the camera very close, and invented the face-to-face missionary. Later other directors like ZAMPA and others imitated him. Today all the immersive films of Moodyz, S1, Kawaii, etc., are inspired by his work.
Unfortunately, companies like Aqua, Koala, SOD VR are going back to 2017, to the past, placing the camera far away, and with less interaction. Too bad.

Exactly. Something very weird happens in the first part of the movie, which looks all pixelated. Yet another botched job by SOD VR.
 
SOD VR continues its descent into hell. Now it goes one step further and puts a shemale in your bed, even sticking it up your ass and all...
And this sells more than a lesbian movie, SOD VR?!?!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Fortunately, they at least compensates for it with the VR debut of Nagisa Koiki, a rather pretty actress, in a “standard” and immersive movie...

Personally I don't mind if SOD keeps releasing titles like the first one, if they at least keeps making titles like the second one, which in the last few months they hadn't released any...
What really annoys me is that they make all those niche movies, and not one lesbian... Come on, SOD...

At this point I'm more surprised about that they release the vanilla debut VR :D. Tbf I don't mind it at all that they release niche content or have VRs with shemales and what not - to each their own - but you have to wonder about their strategy. Like the brand SOD, what does it even stand for at this point? Is it niche content, vanilla content, gay content or is it about you fucking the possessed girl that comes out of your TV from The Ring movie? I can't tell but what you also can't say about them is that they are boring or predictable. So let's see what they will come up with next time.

Another suprise is that I'm looking forward to a harem* movie and even more suprising one from Natural High VR: NHVR-223
1nhvr00223jp-1.jpg1nhvr00223jp-6.jpg
It's their special 25th anniversary release so they don't hold back and deliver an amazing cast as you can see. The girls are naked for the most part (had to point that out specifically with that studio, also 8k btw.) and from the previews it seems that besides the harem scenario it also has a bunch of different threesomes*.

Ha ha you are right... :p
As I said before I don't care what they release, as long as they keep releasing vanilla content. In the last few months 90% of it has been niche content.

What does annoy me, and a lot, is that they put out stuff like that shemale title and other niche titles, and don't film any lesbian titles. If you want to become a niche company, well, you'll see, but at least make everybody happy...

Another suprise is that I'm looking forward to a harem* movie and even more suprising one from Natural High VR: NHVR-223

The cast is absolutely perfect, all four are very attractive actresses. That would be a harem I would watch. The film looks great, one of the best HNVR has shot in years. And it lasts three hours!

Haha, why are you surprised? I'm not. NHVR has quite a history of harems - loli themed, for that matter. I don't have a lot of NHVR titles in my collection, but the few I have are pretty much mostly loli harems haha.

Here's a few that I would recommend.

NHVR-216: Ichii Yuuka, Iori Hinano, Fujita Kozue.
Outdoor sex, silly games, and quite a bit of time spent under their skirts for panty close-ups. Also, peeing scenes which I can't say I'm a fan of but for some reason I'm not inclined to skip past them either.
1725365151345.png

What I do find fun about this one is how you can be banging one girl and the other 2 are just casually doing something else in the background. I'm sure the ground is very interesting over there...
1725366046671.png

NHVR-174: Kuramoto Sumire, Kamino Hina, Aino Hinata.
OK, the bike shop scenes in this title are weird and can be annoying. Probably too much clothes for you not to mention the bike helmet. But there's 9 clips to this title and the last 4 are in a bedroom with the 3 stripping down completely so its good stuff. Just keep those 4 and delete the first 4.
1725365652341.jpeg

But do hang on to the middle 5th clip for the novelty of it. Features the girls taking turns cycling on a stationary bike with fans underneath for the Marilyn Monroe effect. Not sure about you guys, but I certainly enjoy this sort of thing haha.
1725366315918.png

NHVR-149: Kudou Rara, Maeno Nana, Shinohara Rika.
About the same as NHVR-216 with a different set of girls.
1725366617525.jpeg

NHVR-139: Abe Mikako, Nagase Yui, Momose Asuka
My favorite of the bunch simply cos of its stellar cast. This is an old clip and is only 1920p but is surprisingly very decent quality if you got the Takumi remastered version from Afesta. Sex with seifuku in the rooms, and than they're butt naked outdoors with you at the onsen. Fuck yes, this is literally my fantasy brought to VR. They are hot and horny for you also cos of the aphrodisiac theme which I don't normally like, but they don't overdo the acting here so its great.

Bought & watched the 8K version of KAVR-386. WOW, great movie if you like GFE with a young and unshaved girl. Kawakami Shizuku is awesome, a beautiful girl with a skin so white and transparent that even the veins show through... Flat chested, but with huge nipples that you can suck on.

There are five minutes that are a little uncomfortable, because she is really embarrassed, and it shows on her face. You will notice it when you see it. Then she pulls herself together and is quite comfortable and natural throughout the film.
Very immersive VR, with spectacular face-to-face scenes, although as is trending now, barely a few seconds of ass.
Recommended.

I guess you are right, my wording here was rather confusing. I said that I was suprised for two reasons: first I'm not into harems in general, it's not my kind of content and I almost never watch it. I would guess that over 90% maybe even 95% of what I watch is simply movies with one girl. Under certain cirumstances a threesome is fine as well if I like both girls and it's well made. But to me adding more girls to it becomes rather overwhelming or even stressful. Like the classic scenario if one girl is on top of you, two girls are sucking on your ear (you can't even see them/understand what they are saying for the most part) and some more girls are somewhere in the background/to the side and all of them are mouning/saying something inaudible I just ask myself 'what is even going on right now'/'were should I even look at or focus on'? So for me it is one of those examples were too much of the good stuff is actually too much. But I'm also aware that this kind of content is very much a favorite of many and it's often #1 on Fanza, so I'm most likely in the minority with that opinion.

When it comes to NHVR-223 specifically and as far as I can tell from the previews it is also not only harem. They most likely have several parts which is just a threesome and that is also what I'm primarily looking forward to in this release, especially with this cast.

The second reason that I said that I was suprised looking forward to it is the studio itself. The first thing that comes to my mind if I see their releases is 'too much clothes' and while that is true for many studios they are #1. What they are doing is simply clothing fetish, I'm not even joking. For example they are the only studio that have made VRs with Miko Kojima in 2024 (NHVR-219 and NHVR-224) and both releases are completely ruined to me for that reason.
1nhvr00224pl.jpg1nhvr00219pl.jpg
Her beautiful body is almost 100% covered in both of them. As it seem this is also not an issue in NHVR-223. So overall to me a very unexpected win from Natural High if the previews can be trusted.

Here's a few that I would recommend.
What I agree on with you is that all of these movies have good casts. But from a technically standpoint they seem outdated to me but I'm also very particular about these things and I'm getting more and more used to 8k. These older NHVR releases had also that issue that they have a weird yellowish/greenish hue because of bad artificial indoor lighting that is really hard or even impossible to correct. Gives me VHS vipes and combined with the older cameras and resolution I can't get into that even if it was my kind of content. Also in many of these the angles are all wrong or the camera too far away. The best of these to me is NHVR-139, it's also not 1920p as you say, it's 'normal' 4k. It's the oldest but seems to have the best picture quality and has a particular great cast. It also helps that it's outdoors for the most part.

Very immersive film, with spectacular face-to-face scenes, although as is fashionable now, barely a few seconds of ass.
Recommended.
Awesome, looking forward to it. One of these cases were I was 100% certain it's great just from the trailer.

Eh, where did you source the 4k version from?

Mine is downloaded from Afesta. I bought it previously when it was on sale.

According to my player, its 3840 x 1920. But the quality is pretty good for that resolution.

4Ks are usually 4096 x 2048 if I'm not mistaken.
 
This week, as I commented further back, I have watched the VR of Kawakami Shizuku, and one old of Ishikawa Mio. Today, looking for new VRs, I came across this:

Kawakami Shizuku
Untitled 1.jpg


Ishikawa Mio
Untitled 3.jpg


That actor, Goro, is the luckiest guy in the world...
What I wanted to comment is that, before I switched to VR, I liked these types of movies. I was quite turned on by watching a young, pretty girl with an ugly, or fat, or old guy.

But after four years of watching VR porn, my perception of actresses has changed. VR portrays a more intimate relationship, a personal relationship with the actresses. 2D porn is a passive activity: you just watch a guy and a girl having sex, you are just a voyeur. But in VR you are the one having sex with the girl, it's an active action, or at least that's what your mind perceives, and that creates a more intimate bond with the actress. She talks to you, she kiss you, she makes love to you.

What I mean is that now I watch those movies, and they give me a strange feeling. I don't like to watch them anymore because there's a strange feeling of jealousy, cheating, it seems weird to me to see Mio with another man who is not me.... :p

I know it's silly, but years ago we commented it here, and it happened to more people. Does it happen to you too? Do you have a strange feeling when you watch an actress you like a lot in VR, with other guys in a 2D movie?

I like that, but for the preliminaries. I don't mind if the girls have clothes on, if they take them off later. The problem with NHVR titles is that lately they wear clothes the whole movie, plus there are no face-to-face scenes. So I've lost interest.

can't remember but I did not buy this one. I only have one part of it and it's definitely 2048p. You can also find this release on several external sites.

Good question, no because I was never into watching the voyeur porn or what is simply considered standard porn. Seing the guy was always a huge turn off to me and I was always seeking the illusion of fucking the girl myself. Before JAV VR I was watching western VR, before that western POV porn and briefly also some JAV 2D POV. Finding good content with these restrictions was a challenge. So for me JAV VR is the only logical consequence, it's so far ahead in delivering that illusion compared to anything else on the market that I can't even imagining watching anything else anymore.

Is Aika Yumeno back? I think she retired a year ago but has a ?new? 2D movie upcoming (SONE-430). Fingers crossed for a new VR with her.

Well, you're a special case, you've never liked watching guys in porn. Me neither, but that's all there used to be.
But I remember talking about it with people a couple of years ago, and some of them said the same. That after being with an actress they really like in VR, they didn't like to see her with other guys in flat.

I see that now we're both in the same spot.... :) 2D movies don't interest me anymore, and western VR I've stopped watching it because it's not very immersive. I only watch some VRSpy stuff, their movies are the most immersive, but because their creator and director Alex Nash, has cloned many camera shots from JAV VR.

JAV VR is light years ahead of western VR in immersion, realism, beauty and naturalness of the actresses. I don't need anything else, I have accepted the censorship and it doesn't bother me. There are many things that excite me about Japanese VR, that are not in western VR

I don't know, but it would be a surprise. S1 has a surplus of actresses and is kicking out the older ones, that's why Kano Yura has also left.
I liked Aika Yumeno, I wouldn't mind if she came back. But I bet if it's new, it's a title she shot before she left, and they hadn't released yet.
