In need inspiration from you guys. What is everyones favorite Mori Hinako VR release before she has changed how she looks?

Because if I compare how she looks now to a few years ago it is night and day

I think she was really cute in like 2021-2022. What is everyones favorite releases from her from that time?

Oh, got quite a few that I really liked.

URVRSP-143

3P with Kinoshita Himari. Beautiful outfits and backdrop. 2 Lovely slim ladies, 1 fair and the other mildly tanned so there's a pleasant contrast. This is a threesome I absolutely want to be part of.

DSVR-1022

A study session where you're the only guy turns into a orgy that is only marred slightly by the presence of Yayoi Mizuki (ugh, take your tits elsewhere please). Most harems titles tend to have a daisy chain of girls on your dick but not this one. There is at least one roughly 15 minute scene dedicated completely to each individual girl although the girls are always there in the background being lewd, and the Mori Hinako one is glorious. She's just so delightfully saucy and horny in this one. No missionary in this one. Its all cowgirl or face-to-face cowgirl only.

I mostly only watch Hinako's clip, and sometimes Shirato Hana's. The rest, not so much. I like Momose Asuka but she won't shut up about being your imouto and that can be either very disturbing or quite erotic depending on how you roll...not judging.

DSVR-918

Yes, another harem vid. Sexy maids in sexy lingerie giving you their complete attention. This one does the daisy chain routine but I really don't care. Unlike the previous clip, there's no girl I actually dislike even if I tend to favor both Ichika and Hinako. Oka Erina is another standout cutie with juicy butt. There's just so much eye candy everywhere that I'm not even sure where to look. This is a VR to get lost in but might not be for everyone. You have to like harem titles.

The guy was already erect and dribbling pre-cum at the start of the video when the girls were just introducing themselves and haven't even touched him yet. Can't blame him, I mean you would be too if you were right in the center of this cluster of cuties. That's Oka Erina and Nagisa Mitsuki just off to the side.


SAVR-178

Sorry, another harem. And its by KMP at that but they didn't skimp on this particular production. Its has 252 minutes of playtime. You're a teacher who, in some bizarre scenario, marries 5 of his female students at once. How is this possible? Shut up! Just enjoy the honeymoon.

Outside of the harem scenes, there's quite a lot of solo or 3P playtime simply cos of its long length. So yeah, you do get sexy time with Hinako on her own for about 40 minutes. If you're gonna pay for a KMP title on Afesta, it might as well be this one. Damned good value.

 

[chewbaka]

Nagahama Mitsuri finally has her first VR for 2025. Wasn't too happy at first to see a nurse costume but its not set in a hospital so I guess I'm OK with that.

IPVR-303 - 28 March

 

[Walle12]

These days, the most immersive and realistic movies in VR are from Madonna VR. They are top of top.
Today they announced two new titles featuring two beautiful and sexy mature women.

I didn't know that Takeuchi Yuki is now a Madonna actress. A very intense slender woman, her performances are very believable.


JUVR-222 March 28


She has a rubber body, she writhes and stretches as she wants....






In the other VR we have Toono Miho, another impressive body. In this movie she plays a sexy private tutor...

JUVR-225 March 28

 

[2dxxxisdead]

Another sad case like Tenma Yui.... They were perfect in their natural state, and now they have become someone else.... Erika Ozaki is going the same way...

It is a shame but fortunately it only happens in a few cases in JAV. Regarding this I have always wondered what is going on with Momonaga Sarina. She has changed quite a bit. Not sure if she ever was 100% natural but since a year or two her face has changed too much for my taste

My favorites go back to 2020 or 2021....

Oh, got quite a few that I really liked.

Thanks for your recommendations. Let's see how well the 4k Takumi releases of her can be improved with the AI.

These days, the most immersive and realistic movies in VR are from Madonna VR. They are top of top.

My favorite studio of 2025, not even close. The only premium studio that seems to care about picture quality on FANZA, btw. the recent JUVR-223 has over 40mbits on all parts. Can't remember it's ever been that high. Besides that they are very consistent when it comes to angles, quality storytelling and immersion. They also care about their lineup and treat them with respect. A good example of this is the last VR of Mariko Sata. This is how you say goodbye. Other studios could and should learn a lot from Madonna. You can also tell that many of their actresses really enjoy their work. I hope they keep this up.

I didn't know that Takeuchi Yuki is now a Madonna actress. A very intense slender woman, her performances are very believable.

Oh nice, very good news. I believed that she had retired which would be a big loss. For me this release has Top 10 potential, let's see how it turns out.

 

[Walle12]

Let's see how well the 4k Takumi releases of her can be improved with the AI.

These are the editions that look best at 4K, so at 8K with the AI cleanup, they have to look great. You'll tell us...

My favorite studio of 2025, not even close

You explained it very well. Madonna VR has the higher bitrate of Fanza, although not in all movies. In one that I bought a couple of weeks ago, JUVR-220, the bitrate is 15 Mbps...
Right now Madonna VR is the studio that takes the most care with sets, staging, and scripts. But they need to improve the lighting of their rural films. It's not that they do it badly, the problem is that they use warm lights to simulate the rural environment at night, and that makes the girls look very brown. You don't see their natural skin color.

As you say, Mariko Sata's VR is a perfect farewell, with very careful scenery, nice story, sex scenes from all angles, and even Mariko Sata's tears of emotion because it's her last VR. Actresses have retired lately from S1, Moodyz, and not a farewell VR....
Plus the immersion and angles are near perfect. Madonna VR was another KMP for years until Yazawa Reiceve came along, and changed their VRs from top to bottom. Now they use also other directors but they shoot like him, it seems he has instructed them with what to do, and they follow his school of knowledge...

As you say, fingers crossed that they keep it up, because right now their VRs are a total joy, to the point that I'm not a big fan of the above two actresses, but I'm going to buy both VRs.

 

[googlesearches]

You have a point and it let me down the rabbit hole of all the different missonary angles that exists in VR. I personally consider the angle they use in this release on an acceptable level and there are many different layers to the "pillow in the back" angle. But let's see what's out there:

F-Tier ('tube angle')
View attachment 3633491
This angle is the worst and for the most part only seen in western VR. The girl is a kilometer away from the camera. You see more from the guys chest than the girl itself and 60% ist the decoration of the room. I call it tube angle because it feels like looking down a tube and at the end of it somewhere is the girl. I will never understand why this is a thing but it is how most western VRs are still made and they have done so for years. Just terrible...

D-Tier (the worst KMP angle)
View attachment 3633492
You have a better look at the girl than in the F-tier angle and you don't see the guys chest but besides that everything else is wrong about this angle and it is the worst "pillow in the back" version and for some reason KMP keeps using it to this day. The girls bottom is cut off and you look at her from an unnatural angle. Just imagine yourself doing it like that to the girl. How is it possible? You have to kinda knee down and then... no idea how this makes any sense and it is completely immersion breaking for me. Unwatchable.

D-Tier (the old way)
View attachment 3633493
Similar to the F-Tier angle but they put more effort into it and zoom in a little bit more. This is how most JAV VR movies looked until 2022/2023. The girl is still too far away and I have always skipped this part if they have presented the missonary with that angle

C-Tier (the old way part 2)
View attachment 3633515
This is also how many old JAV VRs looked. Even many of the premium studios used this angle until a little over a year ago. The limitation of this angle is obivous, the bottom part of the girl is cut off and the angle not ideal but at least she is close to the camera.

B-Tier (the imo acceptable pillow angle)
View attachment 3633510
KMP: "the best I can offer is this angle". The camera is close, you get a good look at the girl and see all of her upper body. But the center is wrong and half of the screen is empty while her legs are in a weird position. To me this is not ideal but still ok, for @Walle12 not good enough

A-Tier (almost there)
View attachment 3633514View attachment 3633516
This is almost it. The position in itself is the right one but angled a little bit to 'high' so you kinda look down at the girl. At least the head is still centered and overall it's pretty good because you can look were you want and see all of the girls body. It's for example the angle that ZAMPA and Member Miyasako uses for most of there releases.

S-Tier (perfection)
View attachment 3633495View attachment 3633496
This is how it should be done. The camera angled so you can see everything and choose yourself were to look while the girls face stays in center and everything is close to the camera. Bonus points if they move the camera closer inbetween for a kissing segment
View attachment 3633497
View attachment 3633498
I mean it's not rocket science and this angle is now known for over 4 years but still besides a few studios that use it consistently it's a rarity if you consider all 8k releases. Luckily overall it got better last year with many of the premium studios starting to use it. But for example Unfinished who had in my opinion the best lightning coupled with the right angle (the crack cocaine version of the S tier angle bascially) in most 2024 releases have now unlearned how to do this angle or they stopped caring about it. The struggle continues...

I might have missed an angle. Let me know if that's the case.

I struggle to enjoy missionary scenes because the scale never seems to be right - you can see her face, but sometimes feel too close. i typically want to feel like i'm 2+ feet away.

What's everyones favorite busty girl in JAV VR?

Mei Washio maybe?

What about Konan Koyoi?

Or for those who like it more mature maybe Ai Sayama and Kusakabe Kana? Unfortuantely they only appear in like one VR in 3 years.
View attachment 3640250View attachment 3640251


It's shown as "L-Point" and they charge in Yen.

Busty is my favorite. Momo Sakura and Mao Hamasaki would be my top 2.

There are a lot more entering the industry too now. What a luxury it is to be able to have this.


Re: clothed vs nude, I think there's a great place for both. Sadly the usual scenes clothed don't really do the clothed look well. They just play with it for a few minutes and then it's fully off or ignored. Sometimes the outfit works great in hiding the flaws of an actress and it ascends them to S tier.

I don't have a particular scene in mind but there are def some actresses where I probably wouldn't have paid them any attention but in clothed scenes they can become whoever you want them to be (like facemasks).

re: subtitles/adaptions

I think this is a fantastic idea. Making your own subtitles is like being your own director. What a genius move. I'd love to do this but your two step process sounds tedious.. or maybe i'm misinterpreting?



re: AI

I have a 3080... if your 4070ti is taking 10 hours at 100% to upscale a scene I think I'll just wait until this tech becomes more resource efficient.

 

[Walle12]

if you have HereSphere, use this:




Forward, move it to the left. This throws off the faces, if you see them too close.

If you mean to create the subtitles, it is simple, just choose 3 or 4 options in some menus, as explained above. It takes a few minutes.
Then adapting the dialogues, it depends if you want to change a lot or a little...

The RTX 3080 is a good card, even if it takes a little longer, there is a demo, you can try it if you are interested in the subject.
The application allows you to select only a part of the video, you can enhance only 5 minutes for example, or parts that interest you.

I found increasing the pd did a lot more for me that forward. Thanks a lot for the recommendation. Truly game changing.

Might give subtitles a shot for the hell of fame scenes in the near future

Great idea on only enhancing favorite parts instead of entire videos.

I took a look at ZENRA, and found a couple of interesting tidbits.

@chewbaka , this underwear of Ishikawa Mio has been sold for 2 million yen (14,000 dollars)... WOW




FANZA has published the ranking of the 100 best actresses of 2024, in both halves of the year. I don't know what it's based on, I guess it's based on sales...







The truth is that we are lucky that we have VRs of most of them....

And, unfortunately, some bad news for her fans: Amiri Saitou is retiring in December...



One of the most beautiful girls in JAV VR.

 

[2dxxxisdead]

Right now Madonna VR is the studio that takes the most care with sets, staging, and scripts. But they need to improve the lighting of their rural films. It's not that they do it badly, the problem is that they use warm lights to simulate the rural environment at night, and that makes the girls look very brown. You don't see their natural skin color.

Good point actually. Yes, the sets are among the most realistic and the lightning is appropriate for it. But I agree that at least for the sex scenes they should bring more of the studio lightning and tone down the realism. To me these mature actresses have nothing to hide, they are beautiful as it is and the setting should bring this across as clear/crisp as possible. I think for the tudor release you have posted they have better lightning

JUVR-222 March 28

I just watched the trailer and it seems this release has a voice over. I don't understand why they do this. The release would be perfect without it. I hope it isn't too distracting and hopefully they don't do the voice over too much

I struggle to enjoy missionary scenes because the scale never seems to be right - you can see her face, but sometimes feel too close. i typically want to feel like i'm 2+ feet away.

I guess we want different things from the VR missionary. You want to have a look from afar at the girl, observing the scenes as it happens. I want to be immersed into the action, as close as possible to the girl and it should look exactly like in real life and that's the perspective you are getting more with the S tier angle. Now as you mention it, I think I have never experienced a VR missionary in which the girl was too close for my taste. Speaking of...

Last scene of AJVR-151

This movie is insane when it comes to distance to the camera in a good way. The missionary was perfect for my taste and Mori shows an amazing performance. I recommend this back to you @Walle12 try this release upscaled if you haven't already, wow.

I actually enjoy how mori has changed. younger and sexier.

You are not alone, she is still very popular and I'm in the minority with this opinion I guess.

I have a 3080... if your 4070ti is taking 10 hours at 100% to upscale a scene I think I'll just wait until this tech becomes more resource efficient.

Yes, it is a very resource intensive process. The AI goes pixel by pixel. So the more pixels you have to process the longer it takes the AI. VR movies have a very high resolution from the start and upscaling them from 4k to 8k or even improving 8k sources are the most demanding tasks you can do with current encoders. I don't know if the algorithm gets much more efficient in the next couple years but your RTX 3080 would be good enough for the process. As already mentioned, maybe try the free trial and make some test runs on your older favorite VRs and see if the improvements are worth it for you.

FANZA has published the ranking of the 100 best actresses of 2024, in both halves of the year. I don't know what it's based on, I guess it's based on sales...

These rankings never made any sense to me. Besides the fact that VR is only a tiny subsets of total sales it always seems completely random. Like someone took all the JAV actresses and simply shuffled them around and picked them randomly. I guess because like 95% is 2D sales

And, unfortunately, some bad news for her fans: Amiri Saitou is retiring in December...

Oh no I at least hope we get some good VRs with her in 2025 besides the mediocre KMPs that have been releases recently

I do look act the Fanza quite regularly and I don't recall seeing Morisawa Kana ever ranked so highly as to justify her placement at #1.

Just took a peek and our favorite hardworking loli is at #1. A little troubled to se Yayoi Mizuki at #4 but I guess she has her fans. Very surprised to see Mikami Yua at #6 considering she's retired, they must have released another compilation for her recently.

Oh dang. She hasn't made much VR lately too, hope there's more before she retires.

Don't worry, the movie will not have voiceover. It was also in a couple of other trailers of Madonna, and but not in the movie. It's just for the trailer.

Now as you mention it, I think I have never experienced a VR missionary in which the girl was too close for my taste. Speaking of...

Ha ha, me neither... Never a missionary looks too close, that's how they are in reality.
By the way, one of the closest I've seen, the last 2 or 3 minutes of the URVRSP-403 missionary. Have you watched it?

This movie is insane when it comes to distance to the camera in a good way. The missionary was perfect for my taste and Mori shows an amazing performance. I recommend this back to you @Walle12 try this release upscaled if you haven't already, wow.

I knew you would like... That whole scene is perfect. Of course, it's on my list to improve with AI....

Oh no I at least hope we get some good VRs with her in 2025 besides the mediocre KMPs that have been releases recently

Oh dang. She hasn't made much VR lately too, hope there's more before she retires.

I don't have high hopes. Alice Japan already released one recently and the rest swim in mediocrity.
The only hope is that Moodyz decide to shot a farewell VR, they already shot one with her a year ago, and it's the best one she's done (MDVR-295).

 

[Walle12]

Huh. And its not even a particularly sexy outfit. I hope the money mostly goes to her but sadly I suspect the Moodyz will get it.

That's what's so infuriating, that most of the money will be kept by Moodyz.

I too was surprised to see Morisawa Kana so high on both 2024 lists. Not that I'm surprised because of her, because she's one of my favorite actresses, but because I thought she's been around for so long, she wasn't relevant anymore. But she still seems to be liked as the first day.... I'm glad, let's see if she shoots more VRs.

The rest, well, it's a matter of taste, although it burns me a lot that there are so many models with plastic tits on top.

I dunno, I saw the 2d screencaps. For an idol, she really isn't that much more attractive than current AV girls.

Those pink nipples intrigue me though...

 

[Walle12]

Well, with her debut in 2D a few months ago, it was number 1 in sales on Fanza, and in views on Javtrailers. Her move into porn caused quite a stir en Japan, according to Zenra.
I have watched the trailer in VR and she has an attractive face and perfect pearly skin. But she is one of the thinnest women I have ever seen.... For fans of slender girls... And pink nipples...
Although I'm not a big fan of such slender chicks, I will buy the VR. It excites me to watch her on YouTube, and next in a VR porn....

Well, with her debut in 2D a few months ago, it was number 1 in sales on Fanza, and in views on Javtrailers.

I'm just glad we get interesting debuts at all these days. To me it feels like 2025 VRs have a problem with variety and the girls entering the scene is very limited. What are the interesting debuts we had anyways so far?

Ruka Itoi / SIVR-397
Shizuka / URVRSP-404
Ema Yano / 3DSVR-1697 (my favorite so far, but she is with SOD and we might not see her in a non weird VR for years)
Himari Momose / KAVR-407 (the only Kawaii release of 2025 that I enjoyed, btw what is going on with this studio, who is asking for these releases?)

And maybe also Ru Totsuka, well they fucked up her debut but I'm optimistic for URVRSP-423.

In that sense, Isida Karen is a nice welcome. She has a beautiful face and skin. Her body type is very specific and not exactly my type either but I'm still looking forward seing her in VR and it's without a doubt a highlight. And in the trailer her acting seems very good, for a debut it's impressive.

 

[Walle12]

Well, I was just waiting for the end of the month to propose the list with the best of the first quarter, as we did at the end of the year... With the Top 10, best debut, biggest disappointment, etc.

I'm sure there won't be any VR with a debut on my list... Kawaii and Unfinished used to debut top girls every month. Now, as you say, Kawaii is into threesomes, and Unfinished is into clothes. And none of their debutantes are attractive to me. The rest, KMP and company, just repeat the same actresses over and over again. Or their debutante VRs are so bad, that I don't even download them. Aqua for example has quite a few debutantes, but I don't watch their movies, though they have some attractive girls.
Other studios bringing debut models to VR, such as E-body, have not released any titles in 2025. Fitch, disappointment after disappointment. Faleno disappeared. And with the studios that have exclusive actresses, like S1, Moodyz, their debuts are way below 2023 or 2024.

I don't have any new models that impressed me in 2025. Of the ones you mention I really liked Ema Yano, but being exclusive to SOD, we won't see her anymore this year, or it will be in some f***rced sex movie, r*** or weird stuff.
Also Ruka Itoi, she is very good in her debut. Himari Momose appeals to me, but I haven't watched KAVR-407, nor will I watch it.

The only one I would add is Nomiya An, who I liked quite a bit in MDVR-333, although the movie is pretty boring.




You compare the Moodyz and S1 debut films from the 8K release (summer 2023) to Spring 2024, which were sublime, to everything they've released after that, and it's to weep. Before they had 5 scenes, they were 2 hours long, there was plot, girl exploration, all kinds of positions.... Now they are 2 scenes, last 70 minutes, and the interaction and positions are minimal.

 

[Walle12]

By the way, speaking of Amiri Saitou and her retirement in December, it looks like there is still hope with some more VR. This Alice Japan one was announced today, and it looks good, although that ponytail doesn't really suit her.
