I think that's one of the standards of most VR movies due to the fixed camera position. I HIGHLY doubt they were influenced by JAV seeing how it's very hard for westerner to get access to it. I know wankzvr do alot of these up-close videos, they even have GFE (gf experience) to simulated intimate 1-on-1 relationships.
Maybe you are right. What unique about this new video is that it has a missionary position face close up camera angle. I never saw this in other western VR videos. Usually the focus is on penetration and pussy not face.
