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

[enduraVR]

On the same page with you regarding clothed titles. Need nudity for visual interest, otherwise it makes sex positions in VR pointless. Yep, clothing plus censorship is basically softcore porn. Might as well watch simulated gravure sex.

The far away missionary position like in Amatsuki's release is annoying. KMP can do a good face-to-face, but isn't as consistent as those from top studios, for sure. If Japanese fans aren't informing studios of these flaws (if they see it as such), then things won't change.

The KMP ones are in slow motion, only last 3 o 4 minutes, and the girls hardly show any emotions, because the actor doesn't move...

They do tend to hurriedly switch positions - feels like they are ticking of a checklist rather than wanting it to feel organic. I'm not sure what quality to expect from freelancer studios. Exclusive studios seem to have better direction, putting more love into each release (with the trade-off being they release infrequently).

KMP is in my good books mainly due to their old catalogue of fetish content, but there is no denying that they make a lot of filler content. Wouldn't mind if they reduced number of monthly releases to focus more on quality, but doubt that'll happen.

I just wish exclusive studios would shoot with their talent more
S1 and Moodyz average around 5-6 monthly releases in 2024 - I'd like them to continue that trend. More would always be nice, but that is a good baseline.

Exactly. If you notice, many of their positions last about the same length. I checked them once, and the different positions lasted around 5 minutes. All their close missionaries last the same in all their movies, 3-4 minutes....

And many of their movies repeat exactly the same order of scenes and positions.

I think it's just what you say: to save time, because they shoot a lot of VRs, they have a template where it says: cowgirl (5 minutes), doggy (6 minutes), missionary (4 minutes), and quite possibly, the camera angles and distances. They shoot a position, stop to change exactly after 5 minutes, shoot, stop... This breaks the rhythm of the actors, and that's why the sex is slower and more robotic.. Other studies are much more flexible and therefore sex is more fluid and passionate.

That would explain a lot about KMP...

I just wish exclusive studios would shoot with their talent more
None of this would matter much if we weren't starved for content from the top studios.

Well, yes, that's the truth... For me, the VR with Mayuki Ito which comes out in four days, already fixes my week... If every 7 or 10 days we had a VR with a star actress from S1, Moodyz, Prestige, I wouldn't give a damn about the rest...

But now to have to wait 3 or 6 months for another one with Miho Nana, it's torture.... And how long has it been since we had VR of Mio Ishikawa, Miru, and many others....

 

[enduraVR]

Collected 44 of KMPVR's 456 total releases in 2024 (9.7%). Compared with 20 of 61 releases from Moodyz (32.9%) and 9 of 34 scenes from Idea Pocket (26.4%), the data shows a preference for exclusive content over that of freelancers.

Didn't enjoy S1's 2024, only collecting 9 of 69 releases (13%), though still better than KMPVR. Only SOD underperformed, just 17 of 234 releases collected (7.3%). Had they shot more with their exclusives (Ogura Yuna, Suzu Honjo, Rei Kamiki, MINAMO - plus the rest of the roster) they'd be higher.

Well, yes, that's the truth... For me, the VR with Mayuki Ito which comes out in four days, already fixes my week... If every 7 or 10 days we had a VR with a star actress from S1, Moodyz, Prestige, I wouldn't give a damn about the rest...

Wouldn't that be swell... glad we have performers like Mayuki and Momo Sakura. Hope they continue to stick around for a while longer.

But now to have to wait 3 or 6 months for another one with Miho Nana, it's torture.... And how long has it been since we had VR of Mio Ishikawa, Miru, and many others....

Ishikawa released in October, so not too far off. Miru's was over 8 months ago now!
I would go through each exclusive studios's roster to see who has and hasn't filmed recently (or at all), but that would be depressing

 

[Walle12]

I haven't counted, but from memory, my percentages are very similar to yours, except with KMP, which are lower (I don't think I keep more than 4 or 5 titles of them in 2024).

Maybe they think that most people still watch their movies in 2D (that's true). But they don't realize that there are also people who only watch VR, and we only watch their star actresses every 6 months.... or never...

In the reviews I write of the titles I buy on Fanza, I'm starting to note just that.... I don't think they will take any notice, but well, there it is....

 

[chewbaka]

Do you live in a region where Fanza isn't blocked? If they allowed for DRM-free downloads I'd jump through their hoops to gain access.

I need to use a VPN to buy.

But once you have bought, Fanza will let you access the videos in your account even without a VPN.

Umi Yatsugake
View attachment 3614333

Umi is facially gorgeous but she's way too skinny for my liking and I like slender girls. She's so thin that you can see her ribs very clearly in almost every scene.

Prestige has a lot of girls I would like to see doing VR but Umi isn't high up on that list.

 

[chewbaka]

This new Sasaki Saki video is nice, I'll wait for Itou Mayuki's new VR to come out than I'll pick up both 8ks together.

They deserve full price for these 2.

 

[Walle12]

For fans of KMP, A Festa has added a new round of 20 KMP movies at 8K with a high bitrate of 80 Mbps, and 30% off. No DRM, you download and play anywhere.

I have bought this one for 10 dollars / euros:

VRKM-1229



It still has some of the flaws I comment above, but it has Ikuta Machi, who is an actress I love. Not only because I think she's cute, but because she has something unique: she's so sensitive that she cries when she has sex:



It's a bit weird, because she cries and laughs at the same time , but it's quite erotic...

Plus she has an ass to die for...





The movie has everything I like, but the missionary is cut off at the waist (the director is inept), and the sex is still a bit slow and boring. With any other actress I wouldn't have bought it, but in this case it's outweighed by the feeling Machi Ikuta brings to it. I don't understand why she has shot so few VRs.

By the way:
+Fanza / download sites version: 10 GB - 15 Mbps
+A Festa version: 50 GB - 80 Mbps

 

[Itsabiggapepperoni]

Second S1 movie of the year, and I was going to say second punch in the face, but no, this is a kick in the nuts....
Two years waiting for a Miho Nana movie with no clothes, no oils, no costumes, today they announce just that... And it turns out that there's another guy on screen, talking during the whole movie!!!!
S1 hasn't done that for years, it has dozens of actresses... and they do it with Miho Nana!!

Lol i watched the trailer without sound so i didn't notice it until you pointed it out. At least in the trailer seems like the in the second scene the other guy is absent, hopefully..

 

[chesed]

Prestige has a lot of girls I would like to see doing VR but Umi isn't high up on that list.

She was absolutely perfect in her SIRO video and first few Prestige videos. Then she started imploding. I love slender too. The crazy thing is she just needs to eat a sammich and she'll be amazing again.

Let's hope so...

I sometimes wonder if some of the girls might have an eating disorder just to stay in shape.

Its always cool to see that some of the girls are working out to stay in shape, like Aoi Ibuki who seems to have developed abs. Its can be a bit of a turn-off for me if they are too muscular, but Ibuki's are nicely toned.

 

[2dxxxisdead]

they'd be around 39-42% or so. KMPVR truly are a goliath.

Ok you are right, I underestimated their numbers.

For fans of KMP, A Festa has added a new round of 20 KMP movies at 8K with a high bitrate of 80 Mbps, and 30% off.

It's only 16 new 8k entries from KMP. The other four are from MONDELDE VR (EXMO). Technically that would conclude my first wish from my 2025 wishlist but I don't care about their content at all so it doesn't count.

An example is VRKM-1481 with Azu Amatsuki...It has everything I like, 80% of the film promises a lot according to my tastes.... And then they end up with this:

VRKM-1229

The movie has everything I like, but the missionary is cut off at the waist (the director is inept), and the sex is still a bit slow and boring.

If done right 'slow sex' can be amazing, but I agree with you in general.

Those two angles are very different in quality. I'd say the angle in VRKM-1229 is accepable while VRKM-1481 is unwatchable. Yes, Ikuta Machi in VRKM-1229 makes a huge difference. She is always close to the camera and very playful throughout the movie. She somewhat offsets the slow pace of this movie with her acting. I also wish for more VRs with her.

This movie also teases some VR merch


In her missonary in VRKM-1229 you have to look up to see her face and look down for the penetration. Not ideal but better than in 95% of KMP's other movies since at least you can see all of her upper body up close and from a 'good' angle. For example in VRKM-1237 they have an even worse angle with her (again, unwatchable).


If anything KMP is extremly inconsistent. It seems that they have zero quality control or guidelines and so you have to get extremly lucky to get a decent movie from start to finish. It's much more likely that they fuck up at least 3-4 things.


In contrast to all of this I quickly want to mention JUVR-212 with Kana Mito (directed by Receive).

It's super immersive, close to the camera in almost every scene, engaging and the sex scenes are well done. Of course this movie isn't perfect for my taste considering that it takes her forever to get naked. But what I really like about Madonna's recent VRs is how they implement a pleasant and casual storytelling. I think in this regard they are better than any other studio right now.

That being said the upcoming releases from Madonna don't interest me at all, like JUVR-210 or JUVR-215. And what is going on with the girl in JUVR-210? How much plastic surgery has she done?

 

[chewbaka]

What the hell is SOD doing? They got Marui Moeka for a VR title and its one of those R-word titles...bleh...

 

[Walle12]

's only 16 new 8k entries from KMP. The other four are from MONDELDE VR (EXMO). Technically that would conclude my first wish from my 2025 wishlist but I don't care about their content at all so it doesn't count.

Of those 20, I am only interested in the one I have posted with Ikuta Machi. Also VRKM-1237, because she is in it, although It has a poor missionary, as you said.
The only KMP VR I have yet to buy with high bitrate, when it comes out at A Festa, is this one:

VRKM-1378


That's where my 1% quota of KMP VRs I'm interested in ends.

If done right 'slow sex' can be amazing, but I agree with you in general.

She is always close to the camera and very playful throughout the movie. She somewhat offsets the slow pace of this movie with her acting. I also wish for more VRs with her.

I agree. I have nothing against “slow sex” per se, but there needs to be a connection, an intimacy and complicity that is hard to achieve. Ikuta Machi achieves this 100%. After watching the A Festa version, in VRKM-1229 the slow sex is great, but only thanks to Ikuta Machi, who achieves an incredible level of immersion, the way she looks, smiles and talks to the camera.

However, in most KMP movies the slow sex is too robotic and boring, the girls barely show any expressions and it looks like they are working on an Excel in the office, instead of having sex....

In contrast to all of this I quickly want to mention JUVR-212 with Kana Mito (directed by Receive).

I haven't watched it yet, I'm waiting for someone to upload it at 8K, as I haven't bought it. I'm not liking Madonna's latest releases too much, now they've gotten into oil, baths, and they're having a hard time taking their clothes off.

But I agree that Madonna's VRs are among the most immersive out there right now. All thanks to Yazawa Receive. Madonna's VRs were like KMP's or Aqua's for years, until Receive came along and changed everything. Now they are a joy at immersive level, although I don't like the last ones. And the next ones, as you say, even less...

What the hell is SOD doing? They got Marui Moeka for a VR title and its one of those R-word titles...bleh...

SOD is doing the same thing it has been doing for the past two years: wasting wonderful actresses on junk movies, which also have very little VR in it.
Two years waiting for a good 8K VR with Marui Moeka...

 

[Walle12]

KMP Bibi is doing some weird things. they're re-releasing single scenes from movies they already released in 2022. They're at 4K, only 30 minutes long and and don't offer anything (this one has the missionary cut in half Aqua style), but I'm sure E-Body, who now has exclusive rights to Ruka, won't be too happy...

BIBIVR-139



Does anyone know what the hell is going on with Calvin Klain and VR? Why are all the beverage brands, Nike or Adidas type clothing, etc. blurred in VR movies, but now many studios are releasing movies with Calvin Klain lingerie in the foreground?

Is it possible that Calvin Klein has some kind of advertising contract with the Japanese porn industry? Or is it the only brand that doesn't mind appearing for free in porn movies, because it's free advertising?
In recent weeks, the number of studios and VRs with Calvin Klein on the cover has increased...

VRKM-1498


CRVR-335



SAVR-533


If Calvin Klain is really financially supporting Japanese VRs, I'll buy some of the brand's underpants tomorrow....

 

[CoolMax21]

Does anyone have recommendations for loli jav scenes? I only found some from Yui Nagase

 

[Walle12]

Look for TMAVR and DSVR titles, they are the only studios that have that kind of content. KAVR also releases some from time to time, but it's scarcer.
Take a look at these titles, for me they are too “realistic”....: DSVR-969, DSVR-990, DSVR-1544, DSVR-1545, DSVR-1171.

If you like Yui Nagase you will probably like Yumemite Uta, she has some VRs from a few years ago with KBVR and SAVR.

Recently, in 8K:

CRVR-340

 

[Walle12]

@enduraVR is going to like this movie... Me too, I admit it. Minase Akari is one of my weaknesses.

SSR-022 Jan 24



There is another one, but this is not for me:

SSR-021 Jan 24


Too bad Minase Akari is only hired for weird content, and despite having dozens of VRs, she doesn't even have an 8K nude “girlfriend experience”....

 

[enduraVR]

No longer keeping incomplete scenes - full works only. Have spent the last few days purging, downloading, and merging scenes with LosslessCut. The collection now best reflects my specific tastes and preferences. It is also rather trim; quality trumps quantity.

Picked up 9 releases from Moodyz in 2024; P-BOX VR, KMPVR, and Unfinished tied with 7 releases each; 5 releases from Kawaii; 4 from Idea Pocket; just 2 releases each from S1 and SODVR. 48 works picked up in total, 10 of the fetish variety.

Fond of Nozomi Ishihara, so glad she released a number of times last year. Enjoyed debuts Yumi Nijimura (MDVR-323) and Kira Hoshi (MDVR-331), along with collab releases in IPVR-265 and KAVR-390. Now able to properly appreciate each release in its entirety, having fewer filler scenes to sift through.

Hope to see more from the likes of Ruka Inaba, Mei Miyajima, Kawagoe Niko (among others), finding their 8K VR catalogue falling short of my standard.

SSR VR have also shot 2 works each with the late Yokomiya Nanami and Tenma Yui (prior to her radical augmentation). Shame they aren't acquirable anywhere asides from FANZA.
