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

IPVR-301 on May 2nd

I don't understand why the last two Kaede Karen movies are only at 4K. I don't follow the actress so I don't know if that look on the cover is her current look, but I get the impression that the VR was shot before the 8K format was released.... Either that, or Idea Pocket is devolving...

That a girl as beautiful and perfect as she was, should voluntarily spoil herself like that, I don't understand.
Unfortunately Japanese porn is becoming a pitiful imitation of the worst of Western porn.....
I don't understand the Japanese obsession with imitating everything American, when they are much better at many things. In porn, for example. Or in beautiful, natural and feminine girls. But it seems that now all actresses want to be porstars with bowling ball breasts.

I don't think I've seen American plastic surgeons screw up this badly as well. I mean they dunno how to be a bit more subtle and tend to do the whole balloon thing but at least they do it evenly.

Who the hell did this? How did it turn out lopsided like that?

Arrest that surgeon. That's a crime against humanity, ruining breasts like that.

Today the best VR director in the world, Yazawa Receive, has restored my faith in VR. Unfortunately, it's a one-off title that I doubt he'll be repeating with other studios.

In 2025, VR immersion has gotten much worse, destroyed by KMP, especially by its studio/label or whatever the fuck it is, called SAVR. It floods the market with 100 boring VRs a month, with slow, robotic sex and little immersion, hiding under tons of crap the releases of studios like Unfinished or Kawaii, who were releasing one or two high quality VRs a month. This has forced them to release more titles to be more visible, and their quality has plummeted. Unfinished is already the new SAVR.

Smartly, Alice Japan has not fallen into the trap. It continues to release only 2 or 3 VRs a month, but maintains the desire to shoot immersive VR. That's what it offers in AJVR-270, where Yazawa Receive is once again shooting like 2022 or 2023, as he hasn't done in a long time: maximum immersion from every angle.

Kawakita Meisa, now Ootori Miyu, is one of my favorite actresses. After a two-year retirement she came back a few months ago. SAVR has released two titles with her that are a total bore, where you just watch. This Alice Japan title is completely different. Night and day.

Meisa looks absolutely stunning in the tight sportswear:



The plot is that you are a pervert who likes sweaty girls, so you turn up the heat to the maximum, and take the batteries out of the remote control...
Receive lets us explore Meisa fully, placing the camera five centimeters away from her body. Now THIS is immersion. Here you do FEEL the girl:




It's quite erotic to watch how Meisa takes off her bra without taking off her top, and gives it to you to smell.... Then she lets you suck on her inverted nipples:




All the first scene of the movie is with clothes, but I enjoyed it immensely, thanks to the immersion. Here you don't just watch, here you feel the girl. Meisa undresses 20 centimeters from you, not two meters away as in 90% of current VRs:



Yazawa Receive has the perfect antidote to the Invisible Ass Syndrome that taints the VRs of Unfinished and S1: getting the butt in your face. Meisa has one of the most perfect asses in the industry - thanks Yazawa!!!:




The face-to-face cowgirl starts with the top on, then she takes it off. So everyone is happy.
And something rare to see nowadays: seated cowgirl from behind, where the girl turns around and looks at you. I love it:



The close missionary is a marvel, although it is short. Here a good example of what maximum immersion means, where you feel like you're fucking the girl, and minimum immersion where you're just watching, like in 2D movies:



AJVR-270 is one of the VRs I have enjoyed the most in recent months. This is true virtual reality, your brain thinks you are making love to the amazing Kawakita Meisa / Ootori Miyu. That should be the purpose of VR porn, but unfortunately in 2025 this title is an oasis in the desert, and I don't think we'll see many more movies like this.
Even the 8K bitrate is above average on Fanza, between 19 and 33 Mbps.

The camera may be too close for some, especially during exploration, but the nice thing about this is that if a camera is too close, and you zoom out a little farther away, the image quality improves. Give it a try and you'll see it. On the other hand, if the camera is far away and you zoom in, the image is blurred. That's why the camera should always be close, and then everyone can zoom out if they want to.

Thanks Alice Japan and Yazawa Receive, for restoring my faith in VR....

Did you check out SIVR-408 with Mita Marin as schoolgirl?

She takes off most of the uniform in the first few minutes (a bit farther away though). But then she comes in close where you can explore her body.


She's without most of her clothes for the rest of the first setting. Second scene she puts on one piece swimsuit but she drops the top part down after a bit.

She does take doggy with her ass visible a couple times.


She does seated cowgirl from behind and turns around to look at you. She later takes doggy and turns to look at you too. These are the best because her face and eyes are so pretty and her "taking it hard" expression is so alluring.


First missionary is not immersive but when she leans up, her face is front and center while is great for me.

Final close missionary is pretty close to your max immersion.


I think she's done better but I did like this one a lot. Mita is definitely my top JAV actress right now.

Yup, bought it on Fanza. I still think her first VR was the best but I have to support her haha.

I do actually like the seifuku and that ribbon though.

Yuzuki Ria did one VR with S1 and than disappeared. Well, disappeared from VR which was quite a shame cos I really liked her. She's quite beautiful and has a lovely smile.

And now she suddenly has 4 VRs coming up in May but she's indie now and no longer with S1. 3 of the VRs are with KMP but there's one with Unfinished so I suppose that's the one I should look forward to.

Did you check out SIVR-408 with Mita Marin as schoolgirl?

Yes, I watched it a couple of days ago. The immersion has nothing to do with the Alice Japan's VR, but that's not a criticism, the immersion is fine. But I don't really like the schoolgirl theme, and the actress leaving clothes on for no reason, as happens with the swimsuit. It's a VR for clothing fetishists, it's not for me.
But this is a case of knowing how to differentiate what you like, from what is good. It's a good VR, with good immersion, it's just not for me.
Mira Marin is very cute, I hope we see more VRs with her.

And now she suddenly has 4 VRs coming up in May but she's indie now and no longer with S1. 3 of the VRs are with KMP but there's one with Unfinished so I suppose that's the one I should look forward to.

Oh, I didn't recognize her as a redhead....
Unfortunately according to the pictures it looks like it's another Unfinished VR infected with Invisible Ass Syndrome: you won't see Ria's back or ass for a second. It's something I can't understand. I'm not talking about sexual positions, just that she shows her ass when she turns around....

By the way, I would have liked some scene with her brown-haired partner next to her... I don't know who she is, but she's very cute...




Yuzuki Ria has followed in the same footsteps as Mizuno Nanoha, which shot a VR with S1 a months ago, and now she is freelance. I really liked her, she is a beautiful girl:



Unfortunately has fallen into the clutches of Koala, where she has shot a couple of pathetic VRs, in the line of this studio, with massages, oils, costumes and the camera always far away:



I hope a quality studio shoots some good VR with her, because I find her a gorgeous girl, with a great body.

WVR9-017
Great VR with Tojo Natsu's body exploration (albeit with clothes), and good face-to-face scenes. You're going to like the close missionary.
My favorite VR from Tojo Natsu, along with URVRSP-148.

I didn't know this one and have never seen anything from this studio before (Vr Research Institute Section 9 , what were they smoking when they came up with this name?). It took me a while to find it. The ID changes depending on were you look. Found it as WVR-900017 or WVR-9017.

It is an interesting title and has - besides the stuff you have mentioned - also a great body exploration part. They certainly knew what they were doing in terms of immersivness. So I checked the other releases of this studio but could not find anything else that was like this title. Seems like a one off from them which is weird. I don't believe in coincidences or that you could make something immersive by accident. But in this case it seems to be the case. This one is an unsolved JAV VR mystery...

After a strong start of 2025, I don't know what's going on, but in April there have been hardly any top release from the big VR studios, and none announced for May, something that has never happened before.

I wouldn't say 2025 was strong so far but yes, May is a total disaster. Are most of the studios on summer vacation? For the most part nothing besides boring SAVR titles are announced so far.

Yuzuki Ria did one VR with S1 and than disappeared. Well, disappeared from VR which was quite a shame cos I really liked her. She's quite beautiful and has a lovely smile.

This might be the most interesting upcoming release and that is not because it's that great but rather a sign of a lack of choice for the next few weeks.

Smartly, Alice Japan has not fallen into the trap. It continues to release only 2 or 3 VRs a month, but maintains the desire to shoot immersive VR. That's what it offers in AJVR-270, where Yazawa Receive is once again shooting like 2022 or 2023, as he hasn't done in a long time: maximum immersion from every angle.

Beautiful write-up, thanks. Looking forward to this release. I wonder what kind of angles AJVR-269 has? The trailer seems to imply that they only have a ceiling angle up-front. Hope it's not true.

By the way, I would have liked some scene with her brown-haired partner next to her... I don't know who she is, but she's very cute...

I don't thing that she is a AV actress but I know what you mean. Sometimes the extra is cute and you try to find more of her but end up dissapointed. I had this happend to me with HNVR-019 in which the extra was super cute to me (girl on the right)

This title actually has a sex scene with her but I believe the penetration is fake. While this girl (Yukino Rino) kinda is a 'real' actress she seems to only appear as a side kick or in weird compilations in VRs. Of course she is long retired, very frustrating

WVR-900017 or WVR-9017. So I checked the other releases of this studio but could not find anything else that was like this title. Seems like a one off from them which is weird. I don't believe in coincidences or that you could make something immersive by accident

Yeah, that studio doesn't have any more movies like that.
I believe that most directors have the ability to shoot immersive VRs. Another thing is that they don't want to because it costs more work, or the studio won't let them.
Look for example at Yazawa Receive's VRs, he has many that are very immersive, and others that are not, depending on the studio that hires him. Even SAVR has shot some immersive movies from time to time. If they want to, they can. But it costs more time to shoot those angles, or maybe you have to pay the actress more, or they are just 2D minded studios, where the priority is to watch, rather than interact. I don't know.

Are most of the studios on summer vacation? For the most part nothing besides boring SAVR titles are announced so far.

These days it's Golden Week, which I have no idea what it is, but it's some kind of Asian holiday, maybe they take vacations or something. In stores there are a lot of discounts, maybe that's why there are no releases. I hope that's the real reason.

Doing some research: Golden Week is a period of national holidays in Japan that typically runs from late April to early May. It consists of four national holidays: Shōwa Day (April 29), Constitution Memorial Day (May 3), Greenery Day (May 4), and Children's Day (May 5). These holidays are often combined with weekends, creating a longer holiday period for many Japanese people to travel and enjoy.

Beautiful write-up, thanks. Looking forward to this release. I wonder what kind of angles AJVR-269 has? The trailer seems to imply that they only have a ceiling angle up-front. Hope it's not true.

Thanks. About AJVR-269, the trailer and photos show almost nothing, so I can't tell you. Of the three released by Alice Japan in April, I have only purchased AJVR-270. You're going to love the missionary and exploration, but it's got a little fake sweat in it. It's just a little water spray, it's not very noticeable but it's there. I know you don't like it.

I don't thing that she is a AV actress but I know what you mean. Sometimes the extra is cute and you try to find more of her but end up dissapointed. I had this happend to me with HNVR-019 in which the extra was super cute to me (girl on the right)

Yes, it's true it's happened to me a couple of times, and it's frustrating. She's just a role performer but you'd like her to be the protagonist...
As you say, she may not even be a porn actress.

In MDVR-102 there is a very cute actress who impressed me a lot. She's only in it for a few minutes as it's a harem movie, I searched for her, and she hadn't shot anything else in VR. Too bad...

URVRSP-438 【VR】 [8K VR] A Hot Spring Training Camp With Four Slutty College Girls​

Cast: Kuraki Shiori, Kurumi Sakura, Konami Aya/Sazanami Aya, Kinoshita Himari. Really good casting, Sakura, Aya and Himari are on my top faves list for 2D and 3D and Shiori is new to me but is quite attractive.

Concept: You're a coach chaperoning 4 college girls to a training camp at a hot springs. The girls are super horny and take full advantage of you their coach. The downside of this is that the girls mostly start out in baggy sweats outfits (since they are atheletes) which is not sexy but thankfully they shed that down to bra/panties then full nude pretty quickly.

Unfortunately no creampie licks. They finger dab cum a few times but don't taste it or share it.

Scene 1: One on one with Kuraki Shiori. weakest scene for me.



Scene 2: One on one with Aya in the hot springs bath. She soaps you up, lets you soap her, then blowjob, titty fuck, close face to face cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, the doggy to creampie that drips into the bath water. Aya is the master of VR eye contact. She keeps her eyes locked with yours while sucking, titty fuck, cowgirl and doggy and with her super cute face and big eyes, she knows how to turn you on.


Scene 3: FFM with Kurumi Sakura and Kinoshita Himari. A really hot pairing, they kiss a bunch to get you turned on. Blowjob, cowgirl, face down missionary.


Scene 4: FFFFM with all 4 girls. The girls kiss to get you turned on, then handjob, blowjob, cowgirl, close face down immersive missionary. Aya is again the standout because of her continuous eye contact, even when you are fucking another girl, it's hard to break away from Aya's lovely eyes and face. The ending immersive missionary is great because the girls rotate through and you get to fuck them all and they sometimes turn to make out kissing the girl next to them while you're pounding away.

These days it's Golden Week, which I have no idea what it is, but it's some kind of Asian holiday, maybe they take vacations or something.

Yes, that must be. Most likely new VRs will be announced next week when Golden Week has ended. In the meantime I have put my focus more on older 4k releases with the goal of enhancing them with upscaling/AI. Some of the titles I knew already but I have also discovered many new titles by searching for certain actresses / directors and based on some recommendations from you guys (thanks).

I wanted to share some of my personal highlights. Initially I only wanted to post stuff that hasn't been mentioned in this thread before but since it has gathered posts to almost every single decent title over the years it is an impossible requirement. So it will have some repeats but because they are mostly like 3-5 years old it shouldn't be an issue I think.


1) VRKM-458 (2021) with Satou Nonoka

This title might have the best introduction/monologue I have ever seen in a VR. Besides the fact that the actress is super cute in her outfit she is also extremly flirtatious, always close the the camera with constant eye contact and lots of interaction like kissing, hugging and so on. Note that this title highly focusses on her face and sex scenes are only from the front.

The story itself is nothing special (coworker that is into you) but the way she conveys it is on another level, like she can really keep a monologue going and it gets more intense over time. I highly recommend it with subtitles if you don't speak Japenese. The sex scenes are also decent with some good angles. When it comes to the picture quality it shows some of the weaknesses of the 2021 camera tech. Lots of details are lost like her skin is just smoothed out in some scenes because the details are missing in the source.


2) IPVR-177 (2022) with Kami Anna

Kami Anna is great at VR and she might be a bit underrated. This title is my favorite of hers and it focuses on her best skills: kissing and licking. It's an extremly interactive VR and it might not be for everyone but I enjoy this kind of content.

She is in your face throughout the movie, never stops and that includes the sex scenes in almost every angle. If you like kissing in VR (lots of it) like me you have to check it out.


3) URVRSP-176 (2022) with Shirato Hana

For some reason I have only discovered this title recently. No idea how I could've missed it. URVRSP-176 might be the most interactive GFE VR ever created. You can think of it as a classical Crystal GFE VR but add to that perfect lighting, +1000% interactivness and all the right angles you can think of with the girl while being super close to the camera (directed by Receive btw.). The shower part is what makes it unique. In this section the sex scenes/penetration keeps going while the girl is doing her chores like showering and brushing her teeth. I guess this part is highy subjective but I liked it.

Shirato Hana is also perfect and overall it has become one of my all-time favorites. Highly recommended.


4) Yumika Saeki in VRKM-282 (2021) and URVRSP-128 (2021)

Yumika Saeki has retired in 2023 and never have I seen anything like her since or before. No matter what the setting or theme of a title is you can bet she will use her long tongue to seduce you while you get covered with her salvia. I guess it's not even an act, it's simply how she does and like it . Besides that I also think she is a very pretty actress. For her I had to combine two releases because both have strenghts and weaknesses. In URVRSP-128 the story and setting is more to my liking but it's directred by Rinrin so the angles are mediocre at best or they are missing entirely.

VRKM-282 has great angles but the salvia was a little too much for me in some scenes.

Overall both these releases are fun and underline her unique talents. I'm not even particular into saliva, but hey if it's that well done I'm in. Unfortuantely when it comes to her skillset no current actress comes close to her.

1) VRKM-458 (2021) with Satou Nonoka

Satou Nonoka is one of the best VR actresses. She understands the medium and she is constantly looking at the camera, kissing, caressing... She was very active between 2020-2022, then she almost disappeared and since a few months ago she is back, but with trash VRs from SOD, SAVR....
I didn't remember that she had a close missionary... I will download VRKM-458 Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of Kami Anna, she does this weird thing where her eyes get all red and watery during sex, and I find it weird.... But she's like Satou Nonoka, one of the best when it comes to interacting with you.

Shirato Hana is absolutely perfect. She has it all: beautiful, cute, with a perfect body, charismatic, and she knows how to interact in VR. I'm converting almost all of her VRs to 8K with AI. The golden age when Unfinished was shooting long, immersive VRs...

Yumika Saeki... WOW, friend, you really know how to pick out the most interactive actresses.... Another one intense actress who literally sticks to you like a limpet..... Almost all actresses nowadays are robots who just look at the camera....

Very good recommendations, maximum immersion in those movies. True VR. Thanks!

I don't have time today, but tomorrow I'll post some VRs I've converted to 8K in the last few weeks.
