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

This might be our favourite loli's last VR with Honnaka. Word is she's now a Moodyz exclusive girl. I don't consider that a good thing...

That explains why they've been releasing just 2 o 3 VRs a year with Ichika for years, and in the last 3 or 4 months, they've released 5 or 6...
I don't like Honnaka, and even though Moodyz has lowered the level in 2025, I prefer them. The problem is that Moodyz has so many actresses, that Ichika will do 2 VRs a year, like the rest....

By the way, the issue of exclusive actresses vs. freelancers has always caught my attention, because I don't really know how it works.
Is being an exclusive actress a goal as an actress? Is it really considered better than being a freelancer? For example, for me Ichika is a top actress who deserves to be an exclusive actress of the best studios, but she has been a freelancer for many years. Are there actresses who choose to be freelancers, or when they are offered to be exclusive, do they always accept?

I guess exclusive actresses earn more, but at the same time, freelancers shoot a lot more movies, so they also earn money.
I guess being on the staff of a big studio opens doors to advertising promotions that freelancers don't have.
But I'm speculating, since I don't know how all this works.

Let's discuss some of the newer releases...

Also picked up Yuzuki Ria's KAVR-416, cos there's that smile I love to see. Don't really even need her naked. She just has a very 'healing' presence like this.
I hadn't watched any VR from Yuzuki Ria yet. Yesterday I watched 3DSVR-1755 and KAVR-416, and Ria has impressed me. Not only she's gorgeous and has an amazing body, she also has personality and a radiant smile.

The two VRs are clones, almost exactly the same positions, angles and distances, but the SOD VR has an extra position, so it wins the match:
I personally prefer the Kawaii release. Yuzki Ria is much more interactive in this title, smiles, laughs and talks the whole time. I couldn't believe this is the same actress that I saw previously in the Unfinished releases. I also think that the Kawaii title has much better angles. While it's true that they have similar positions like @Walle12 says KAVR-416 is more refined and technically on a different level. It hits differently when you compare the same positions side-by-side. And lastly what ruined the SOD title for me a little bit was the fact that the male actor was constantly touching her body in the first two parts. I had to skip over some chapters because of it. Drove me insane...

Also KMP has two more upcoming titles with her that both look pretty good, VRKM-1584 and VRKM-1603. That is if you like the standard/'boring' vanilla VRs. Looking forward to them. Btw. hard to say by the promotional pictures which one looks better, going by the missonary pictures they look very similar. I personally would go with the left (VRKM-1584) because I'm a sucker for wet hair.

VRKM-1583 / 09 Jun
No idea what was going on in this title. For some reason she didn't act or show any emotions. I think it's a similar concept to VRKM-1539 but even worse. Deleted it after a few seconds.

I have also bought & watched SIVR-419 with that angel called Araki Noa (in Fanza she has another name). And I was impressed. Not only she's gorgeous, but she also acts very natural and sensual.
One of the better VRs from Zampa. Somehow he remembered this time to get closer with his damn camera. Araki Noa was super cute and very natural. She isn't exactly my type but I enjoyed this title. Nothing to add to your detailed review, thanks.


I also want to quickly mention Tomoe Hikari and URVRSP-460.
urvrsp00460pl.jpg
I had a quick look at this title because the screencaps caught my attention. Her acting is out of control, one of the most interactive VRs from Unfinished in a while thanks to her performance. Compared to other actresses she can carry a release without constant interventions from the director. Unfortuantely her plastic boobs are such a distraction that it was hard to watch for me.

Anyways, this title also let me think that if Unfinished would make VRs like that with experienced actresses like Minatsuki Hikaru or Suehiro Jun for example it would turn out great. It would make much more sense than these newcomers that they mostly had recently which they literally have to dictate every single sentence and emotion.

I have also bought & watched Sayama Ai's farewell VR, MDVR-351. Most of it is exposition and blowjobs, Ai recalls her most popular movies and I think she recreates the scenes in VR (I haven't translated it yet).
But since the movie is over three hours long you can get about an hour of pure great and immersive sex out of it:

2Dxxxisdead will like the missionary... :)

Undoubtedly far superior to Faleno's farewell VR with Moe.
Yes, it's better than the Faleno release but I'm still not sure what to make of it. It has it's moments but you really have to endure a lot of filler. I didn't like the introduction in which she mostly talks about some 2D movies she has made. I guess it makes sense going through her career like that but it didn't connect with me. And overall the first three parts are kinda forgettable. All the decent sex positions are cramped into the last part which is fine and has it's moments. What is your verdict?

I think there are a lot of Shishido Riho fans in this thread, so here's her new VR with Kawaii....

KAVR-424 Jun 11
The problem with this title is that Part B is unwatchable, 9mbits... I had to stop after a few seconds. Will try my luck upscaling the 4k version of this part with Topaz and see if it is watchable. From what I've seen so far it's rather a mediocre title.

but if you like breastfeeding....:

JUVR-234
Not into breastfeeding but they only used it lightly and there is something about full tits, the way they bounce and so on. Can't show it on pictures, you guys have to see for yourself in VR ;). This one is yet another solid title from Madonna - to me still the best and most reliable VR studio in 2025. The actress (Iyo Shinohara) was also great and I think it was her first VR but she seemed like a pro. Solid work from Genius Knee and Madonna. The perfect combo.

Yes, possibly Kawaii's title is better, and although the positions are the same, the angles are better, but something strange happens to me with that Kawaii's VR, I see a giant Rya, and it breaks my immersion. Comparing her with the VR of SOD, she is much bigger, as if the camera had zoom.


for me a little bit was the fact that the male actor was constantly touching her body in the first two parts.

Completely agree, it's something I hate. Years go by and actors don't learn. Or there's no director to tell them not to do that. Touching a little is normal, but it's all the time with his hands on the screen, it breaks the immersion.


Also KMP has two more upcoming titles with her that both look pretty good, VRKM-1584 and VRKM-1603

I'll go with VRKM-01603, because I think in the other one she won't take her top off until the last 15 minutes.... Honestly don't expect much from either one, the face to face positions will last 3 minutes.

Unfortuantely her plastic boobs are such a distraction that it was hard to watch for me.

Tomoe Hikari caught my eye because she is very pretty and she is tall. When I downloaded the movie and saw that she had plastic boobs I instantly deleted it. Good thing I didn't buy it because I would have pulled my hair out.
For such a young and pretty girl to insert fake boobs just to stand out really pisses me off. Crossed off my list, I condemn her to ostracism forever.
By the way, it's funny that in most of the covers they use Photoshop to enhance the tits, and this one, who has them enhanced, they has them disguised so they don't look like plastic... In the cover of the movie she has them reduced... Don't look fake...

Anyways, this title also let me think that if Unfinished would make VRs like that with experienced actresses like Minatsuki Hikaru or Suehiro Jun for example it would turn out great.

It's curious you mention it because just yesterday I bought URVRPS-467, because it's 106 minutes long and I was really looking forward to watching Nishimoto Meisa, and it's just what you say. Meisa hasn't shot a lot of VRs, but she's an experienced actress and she knows how to interact with you in the intro, although in the sex is a bit more shy. But she transmits realism and naturalness.

urvrsp00467pl.jpg

By the way, this VR is very immersive, the best I've watched from Unfinished in the last two years. Meisa is very beautiful here, with a perfect body, and the 106 minutes deliver: the missionary lasts 7 or 8 minutes instead of the usual 3 or 4, and in general the sex has a better pace, because they are not running like in most VRs. I think you'll like it.
Unfortunately Unfinished has announced 2 or 3 more titles with her and it seems they are back to bad habits.

What is your verdict?

Exactly the same as you.... :) Since it's a 3+ hour movie you get 40 minutes or 1 hour of good sex out of it, but you get the feeling that 2 hours are wasted on nothing. As Farewell VRs, both Moe's and this Sayama Ai one are failed propositions.


Not into breastfeeding but they only used it lightly and there is something about full tits, the way they bounce and so on. Can't show it on pictures, you guys have to see for yourself in VR ;)

Ha ha, very true... They bounce differently... :D
It's a bit what we're talking about: it's Iyo Shinohara's first VR, but she's an experienced actress, she transmits naturalness and that increases immersion.
Totally agree, Madonna has been shooting the most immersive and realistic VRs out there for over a year or two.

Ah, you must mean URVRSP-447? This one?

1750490656029.png

I would say she's being a better actress than we give her credit for. Its not merely being expressionless. She's playing a wife who has fallen out of love for you and is likely cheating on you behind your back. Out of spite, you force her to have sex with you anyway which she clearly does not enjoy.

She actually looks gorgeous here, and the camerawork is somewhat better than KAVR-416. But the mood of the video makes it not kind of a niche appeal. Its not for everyone. I don't like it myself and also prefer KAVR-416.

I think SOD has done it. They possibly have produced the weirdest VR of all time: 3DSVR-1766. I'm not going to spoil anything but it reminded me of the horror movie Midsommar but much much weirder. Check out the trailer yourselfs:

13dsvr01766pl.jpg

That's weird. To me this release looks totally normal.

Yes, they photoshopped her hard, like in this picture her tits look natural or at least very different.
urvrsp00460jp-17.jpg

As Farewell VRs, both Moe's and this Sayama Ai one are failed propositions.
I think when they make these farewell VRs they don't do them for the VR audience like us. Instead it's meant for people who mainly watch her 2D titles or buy the magazines that they show in the Sayama Ai title. They also try to please everyone and so instead of one ongoing story over the 3+ hours they have 5 or more mini stories all included in one movie. To me it kills the flow of these titles and it all feels random and chaotic. I see them more like extra material similar to what you find on a DVD.

Ah, you must mean URVRSP-447? This one?
True, in this title she is supposed to be a disinterest wife that is not in the mood and so it makes sense. But I meant her other Unfinished title, URVRSP-446
urvrsp00446pl.jpg
Here she is your girlfriend's sister, a plotline Unfinished uses quite often. In the sex scenes she is completely emotionless which makes no sense since she is the one that seduces you so she should be super aggressive. Compare her performance to that of URVRSP-382 for example and it's night and day. Also they give her like 30 or more instructions while the sex scenes are ongoing and it's always super obvious. Like she looks above the camera because the director gives instructions or they cut the audio to tell er what to say next and so on. She never says or does anything on herself, everything is spoon-feed to her by the director.

She actually looks gorgeous here, and the camerawork is somewhat better than KAVR-416.
True, she always looks great and it's not the problem with Unfinished releases. They still nail the camera work, lighting and so one like no other studio.

I actually do take an interest in weird titles provided the girls still look relatively normal.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I really don't like having another dude in my VR. I will kinda tolerate their presence only if they're off the the side or something, but I don't need them having sex alongside me thank you very much.

On the other hand, having the other girls applaud and shower you with flowers when you cum in a girl seems like a fun scene haha. :peace:

I've tried to watch some VRs with f***rced sex, and I can't. It makes me feel bad. Plus I would never force a woman, so it breaks my immersion.
That's what the studios that do VR don't understand. A f***rced sex scene in 2D is one thing: it's a movie, it's an actor doing something with an actress, you're a passive spectator, you feel outside of that scene, just watch.
But in VR you are the actor, you are forcing yourself on the woman, and even though you know it's fake acting, you either get immersed in it, which makes you feel bad, or you don't get immersed, and it breaks the immersion.
It's like a horror movie starring a killer. In 2D you accept it because you're a passive viewer where the movie is telling you a story. In VR, if it's you sadistically stabbing someone, it's a very different thing. Maybe in a videogame, but not with real video.

I think SOD has done it. They possibly have produced the weirdest VR of all time: 3DSVR-1766. I'm not going to spoil anything but it reminded me of the horror movie Midsommar but much much weirder.

I don't even look at their releases anymore. Every time I see a title like that, which is 90% of the ones they release, I think: "They do this bullshit and they can't release a lesbian title?" Then I get pissed off, and I tell them to go fuck themselves.

I've become so sick of them that I don't even buy their vanilla titles anymore. I was going to buy the Yuzuki Rya one but in the end I didn't buy it, I don't want to give my money to these people to finance bullshit like that. When they release some lesbian titles, then we'll talk.

I think when they make these farewell VRs they don't do them for the VR audience like us. Instead it's meant for people who mainly watch her 2D titles or buy the magazines that they show in the Sayama Ai title

I've said it before, studios, and Japanese porn consumers, still see VR as a curiosity, an exotic extra, and that's why they shoot a VR every six months with famous actresses, and in many cases put the actress to do weird things, with costumes or oils, because they see it as an exotic complement to the 2D titles they shoot. They can't imagine anyone just watching only VR. Their heads explode.

But it's true, if there's one title where it's natural to think about 2D users, it's a VR farewell. No complains.
I'm not criticizing that the scenes are disjointed or that they spend a lot of time talking, but that they have incomprehensible things, like identical scenes where there is only one blowjob, or in the case of Moe that all the sex scenes have to be watched with a telescope ;) It's the only VR of her life and there are only 10 minutes of immersive scenes...
