Not a gripe but I wonder have the industry turned so bad that JAV actresses don't even announce their retirement nor do they want the retirement videos.
Seems like they are just ready to go. Yuu Shinoda ended her run quietly and with no fanfare.
What is the industry doing that making everyone want to go and give them the middle finger?
The hell.
I feel like I should start a "In Memoriam" thread so we can keep up on the retires.

As you said some actresses looks good 'sweaty'. I think most full figure actresses
like Yuri Oshikawa, AIKA, My strawberry favorite Nina Momoka, and lastly
my absolute favorite :)Reiko Nakamori:) looks good sweaty.

Highly recommend Minami Yasu as a girl who likes to work up a sweat. JUQ-004 and JUL-906 I can both heartily recommend. She likes to be assertive and ride.

I think the industry as changed a lot, right now when a girl retire it's usually the beginning of a new career on social media, so she doesn't just "retire" anymore.

There's been a recent influx of new users to this forum that seem to feel quantity of individual threads trumps quality.

I don't need five threads for the same content. It dilutes any responses between multiple locations and also pushes any other discussions further and further from the public eye.

Personally I rarely create threads at all. I'd rather necro post to an existing thread that's already touched on the same or similar topic.

For reals I thought we had mods for this, they should be deleting these duplicate threads

I don't mind one or two short vertical shots as part of the story (somebody filming the action), but as soon as they last more than a few seconds I really dislike them too.

My latest gripe is badly done office sets. A lot of OL movies that have scenes set in the actual office don't bother to actually set up any computers. They often just have a monitor and a wireless keyboard. No actual computers and the monitors have no cables attached, neither to a computer or for electricity.
It might not be important for the scene, but as somebody who works with computers a lot I find it very distracting. How hard can it be to get a few old computers and actually connect the things? Or at the very least attach a power cable to the monitors.

They could have some horny OL watching some famous JAV then typical salary man slave walks in. This is a great idea they promote their own AV at the same time.

If I had shared this grip before please fo:)rgive me.
I hate actors who are constantly in "every" movie. Because of the shortage or studio.

This actor is sooo painful to my eyes that I didn't even want to screenshot...
but I did for clarity.
I know his name but I refuse to write it because I hate his face lol.

He used to have a haircut shaved really close, didn't he? I think he was in a series called "Sex Education" or something like that.

And, while they are at it, why not mock up some fake books and magazines as reusable props for offices and houses, to avoid the pixelizaion censors from heavyhandedly pxielating anything with a barely recognizable brand? It's bad enough the genitals are a pixelated mess, but having all the office and household products shimmering away as well is just distracting.

My gripe of the month: the excessive use of "smartphone vertical camera footage" in JAVs. It may have been a neat 'realism gimmick' at first, but it is used too often and is just terrible quality.
I seen it once or twice. Haven't seen it used too much after that, thank goodness.
I tend to watch the older movies, anyways.

I love the older movies where the actresses would be typing very fast and occassionaly you would see the monitors were black.
They were so into the acting, I have to commend them for trying to bring realism to the scene:D

My gripe is that a lot of my fav JAV movies aren't de-censored yet. The rate is a bit erratic and inconsistent.
A lot of them are, but some like VAGU-122 still aren't. One of my fav moms-a-masseuse films!

my gripe is finding freaky nasty JAV just to find the actress's name blank on every JAV database site, I know they may not be the best looking, but they can sure go

The second one looks cute and hot to me at the same time. The third one has a really nice body at least. The first one might need to work on her weight maybe (same as me :))

But yeah, I totally agree. But at the same time, if the actress didn't want to be found on multiple videos that easily, that's her decision. She already gave us a chance to look at her body, so I totally get that

My newest gripe would be first finding some info online about one of my favorite JAV stars working for "laypeople" (be it in a salon or デリヘル), with the link given to the site of the place she works with/at, only to then find that she is not listed there (at least not anymore)

I remember, a few years ago I was able to find the/a place where Natsume Airi was listed, but lately, for all the JAV stars I would like to have a go with, any such info turns out to be outdated (I've found such info even for Hazuki Reira, but I guess even if she did such work at some point, that was a long time ago and she very likely quit at the same time she quit JAV; such a shame, what money I would give to get a deep throat from her...)

"Born too late to explore Hazuki Reira's throat, or Kaho's tits, or, highly likely, Shiori's ass*... Born too early to have anyone come close to them."

(Of course, as far as throats go, pun intended, I already know a lot of great new talent, but still, that... let's call it ROhMO, regret of having missed out, is with me forever, I guess)


I mean I've never been to Japan yet, but that would be one of the highlights of the trip. So, my to-do list would certainly include at least trying to have something like that. So, if you're like me, note to self: to remember that our JAV knowledge is also our knowledge of who to look for on fūzoku sites

P.S. Let's at least put an image here, to divide this wall of text, goddamn it. Leila teasing older guys, kinda more casual feel to it. I guess that's close to what my dream indie video with her would look like. Only I would be alone in it. But what about the camera work? I guess I will need to do the same as that guy from Dick Drainers does. Have a lot of takes at different angles, or use multiple cameras. Will possibly have to weak a mask. Damn that's a lot of secondary stuff to think about...

* All from my current Top 10. I mean, in my fūzoku research, I haven't found any indication that she works at any such places, so she only does JAV, which, even if I go mad and decide to get into it somehow, will take me years (since, as I've read or watched somewhere, you start in like mass bukkake scenes as a nobody, then if you prove some worth, they let you do some oral maybe, and only then do you get to pussy or ass)

Overall, JAV is far less convenient, of course, especially for a person like me: I would like to have a 1:1 time with my dream, not to be surrounded by dozens of other people staring, and pointing cameras, and lights, and mics at me. And you don't have a lot of freedom, especially if you're not a veteran or the director or something, to do what you want when you want

So, my plan at some point, when I was much younger and more stupid, was to go to save as much money as I could, go to Japan, and open my AV studio but only use it as a way to get to the girls I want, and just film as I fuck them any way I would like, not caring if it would sell or not. I guess it could work, and some amateur stuff I've seen looks a lot like just the guys living the dream, but hey, it's a long shot, and not being Japanese is a serious obstacle

But I still haven't given up on at least a slim chance. Still learning Japanese, still saving money, so... we'll see. That's the attitude I've come to have in life: not expect a lot but be prepared to take a chance
