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

[2dxxxisdead]

Ha ha, that guy gets on your nerves... I understand, the same for me. But I like the intros, they give context to the sex scenes.

I agree that a proper introduction is important but I don't see why he is needed for the intro though. The girl can do all the explaining which she also does in JUVR-208. Not sure what he is adding to the story and I will never find out. It seems to me that they use this dude to get to a certain runtime and include some filler material for the 90+ minutes goal. Which would also explain the empty room shots they have.

In line with what we talked about the 8K image quality of Fanza, @2dxxxisdead , I don't know if you've noticed, but there is another thing equally irritating: the intro scenes have much more bitrate than the sex scenes, which is where the bitrate matters, because the girl moves a lot.

I have checked a few but it only seems to be true for certain studios or releases like IPVR which you have mentioned and in general it's all over the place.

With Unfinished it seems to be the opposite that Part B has higher bitrate or they are around the same from what I've gathered. JUVR-208 has over 30mbits and Part C while Part A is still better with 47mbits. I'm not complaining, if all releases on Fanza had at least 30mbits it would be fine honestly or let's say a much smaller issue than the absolute mess that is below 15mbits. SIVR-385 Part A is the lowest I could find with close to 10mbits


Since 2024 is almost over I wanted to do a best JAV VR movies of 2024. But I completely failed and ended up with a list that is massive This would just be spam... If anyone is better at this than me feel free to post your favorites of the year.

 

[Walle12]

All the 8K VRs I've looked at in the sex scenes have equal or less bitrate than the intro ones, I don't remember one that has more. I don't look at all of them, true, just the ones that look particularly mediocre.

Madonna VR is the Fanza studio with the highest bitrate, their 8K movies (JUVR) look the best. Since 3 or 4 months ago they have gone up to 30 - 40 Mbps. That's precisely why it annoys me that scene 3 of JUVR-209 has 17 Mbps, which is where all the close up head to head shots are.
Idea Pocket, S1 and Moodyz have the worst bitrate, between 10 and 15 Mbps. I was hoping they would improve in 2024, but it's one of my disappointments of the year.

Overall for me 2024 has been worse than 2023. Yes, very good titles have come out individually, but overall there have been no significant improvements or innovations, no new quality VR studios. And the return of Prestige and DOC VR has been a complete failure. In my case, I haven't been able to enjoy any big S1 and Moodyz stars since April or thereabouts, which is when they moved on to VRs full of clothes and oils. Also SOD VR has been a constant frustration, but it was already in 2023.
Kawaii and Unfinished have also lowered the bar, especially at the models level. In general, I think the quality of actresses has gone down quite a bit in recent years, especially the freelance ones.

I was hoping that to say goodbye to the year, some studio would release a special or different title, but nothing... Well, if we don't count that SOD VR bloodbath, very appropriate for Christmas....

Since 2024 is almost over I wanted to do a best JAV VR movies of 2024. But I completely failed and ended up with a list that is massive This would just be spam... If anyone is better at this than me feel free to post your favorites of the year.

Try to make a selection of 10 titles. As we are few people around here, the thread won't be so full... I'll do the same. You can also choose the actress you liked the most this year, and the best newcomer. Let's hope that more people will join in.

Sales have started at A Festa, discounts of up to 70%.

Alright, your approach seems reasonable but it took me a while to break it down to 10 titles, somehow I did it. No way I'm going to rank them against each other so I just put the titles in alphabetical order.

Let's do this and like you said I also hope for more participants. Even if someone has just one or two titles please share them here. It took me a while to write this down so I hope someone reading this might discover a few good releases, that's the idea and what got me interested into this thread in the first place.


Best JAV VR Movies of 2024

1) AJVR-250
Director: Yazawa Receive ; Cast: Azu Amatsuki

I start with what I consider the most innovative release of this year. Receive manages to make a VR work that happens mostly under a blanket. That includes movement with the camera/gear back and forth from the outside back under the blanket. So you can experience crawling up on Azu's awesome body, exploring every inch of her. Awesome stuff, it's fun, check it out.

2) JUVR-184
Director: Yazawa Receive ; Cast: Rio Kuriyama

Another win from Receive and in what I consider the best release from Madonna in 2024. Immersiveness is dialed up to 11 in this one with maxed out closeness to the girl in all scenes. It's also extremely naughty and includes a sex scene while Rio's son is doing his homework in the background. Normally not my kind of thing, but they made this work here. I didn't know the actress before this but she did a phenomenal job. All in all super well made and it deserves a spot on this list.

3) KAVR-376
Director: Genius Knee ; Cast: Riisa Kisaragi

My favorite Kawaii release of this year. It's what I expected more from this studio and they seem to have mostly forgotten what they stand for in recent months. But in this release everything come together perfectly. An awesome debut from Riisa and a near perfect execution from Genius Knee.

4) MDVR-295
Director: Genius Knee ; Cast: Amiri Saitou

For sure a scenario that would absolutely never happen in real life: a beautiful girl all soaking wet from a sudden rainfall asks for shelter at your place. While she is drying herself off you get ever closer to her and you have to guess yourself what happens next... This release might have the best 'introduction' part in all of the releases in 2024 with the included artifical thunder that drives Amiri ever closer to you. Also an insane performance by Amiri with great angles from start to finish.

5) MDVR-305
Director: Koara Taro ; Cast: Riho Shishido

This release is especially driven by Riho's performance and upbeat personality. Everything hits perfectly from the introduction in the bathtub to the close sex scenes in the bedroom. All in all you will have a good time with this quality release from Moodyz.

6) SIVR-336
Director: Wet puppy ; Cast: Konan Koyoi

If you like big tits like me then... well I guess you know this release already, how could you have missed it in what I consider Konan Koyoi's best VR? In SIVR-336 she just plays herself, seducing you with everything she has to offer, which is... a lot. Awesome performance by Konan and a stellar execution from S1. I wish they would utilize their lineup more often this way.

7) URVRSP-296
Director: dignified ; Cast: Jun Suehiro

I really like Jun Suehiro but being a fan or her can be tough with all the mediocre releases she had to go through with lesser capable studios and creators. Fortuanetely there is also this release which is nearly perfect and brings out the best of her. Throughout this release she is extremely playful with the camera and combined with the Unfinished quality you get to experience her with a perfect view and her awesome body. I hope they both get together for more releases in 2025.

8) URVRSP-341
Director: Mizuki Kai ; Cast: Hikaru Miyanishi

Unfinished successfully tricked me into liking a release while the girl is mostly dressed so it deserved a spot on this list. Also how could you not fall in love with Hikaru in this wedding dress? She absolutely looks amazing and they really put some effort into this. The movie is also very well made and Hikaru is great as always. Not the only good performance by her this year, but we have to cut it short.

9) URVRSP-345
Director: Mizuki Kai ; Cast: Aya Ko Nami

On this list I absolutely had to include something from Aya, one of my favorite actresses. I believe no one else has done more VR releases in 2024. She did an insane pace in the middle of 2024 with over 20 releases in one month. Like it is as a freelancer most of the releases will inevitably be forgettable but she also had some great ones. I go with the Unfinished classic in which she plays the naughty tutor in which she instructs you how to have sex with your first girlfriend. And no one would be better for this job than Aya with her unique charme and cuteness.

10) URVRSP-368
Director: Ray Melissa ; Cast: Aiga Mizuki

I absolutely love Aiga and her work with Unfinished is always a great joy. This is my favorite release of her in 2024. See more in the best actress category.


Best JAV VR Actresses of 2024

A) Best Actress - Aiga Mizuki

Most likely not a pick most will take but to me she is the best actress of 2024 for several reasons. First for most of her work with Unfinished which were one of my favorites like URVRSP-367, URVRSP-389 and the already mentioned URVRSP-368. What sets her apart to me is for once that she is able to convey passion without moaning or loud noises, she keeps up the tension at all time with just her presence. And secondly no one is on her level when it comes to naughty talk, like she really knows what to say and how to say it like no one else.

Lastly she also did execute something in 2024 successfully that I didn't expect: making a wearable camera release work. Sure, not on her own but she played a vital part in it making it work. In 3DSVR-1566 they use an 8k wearable camera with her and to my surprise I enjoyed this release. To this date the only one of this kind that I would recommend. Also you can get this release with 83mbit/s on A Festa, a high bitrate is recommended with this kind of content. Make sure that you are not prone to movement sickness, the camera moves around quickly and it might not be for everyone.

B) Best Newcomer - Hinako Matsui

Honestely this was an easy pick. Hinako Matsui had an amazing performance with her debut on KAVR-382. She has absolutely no shyness to her and goes full throttle from the first second on screen, a rare talent. I'm sure that we will see more of her in 2025.

 

[Walle12]

Great!!!
I'm surprised that, having such similar tastes, our favorites are so different..... That's what it's all about!!

From your list only AJVR-250, KAVR-376, MDVR-295, and URVRSP-296 are among my favorites of the year, but not in my Top 10. Sure you are a fan of Unfinished...

Riho Shishido is great, but as I recall that movie didn't convince me because there was too much water. For me water is the same as oil. But maybe I'll take another look at it. I don't know if you looked at the posts further back, but she's a freelance now, 2 new VRs are coming out, unfortunately, with KMP. I hope she shoots some with Unfinished.

Aiga Mizuki is an actress that doesn't say much to me, she has a very narrow lower face (or very puffy cheeks... ) And her body also looks very neutral to me.
What we do agree on is the best newcomer, Hinako Matsui. She is great. I hope she repeat with Kawaii and Unfinished.

I'll post my list later. Let's see if they also join @chewbaka (I know he loves to make lists ) and more people. @googlesearches , if you like VRPRD movies or others, don't be shy and choose your favorites, there is room here for all tastes. And, as 2Dxxxisdead says, it helps other people to find new titles that are worthwhile.

 

[Walle12]

Well, here is my list. I've noticed that most of the actresses are not stars, and some have even been insulted in reviews, calling them “ugly” or “Photoshop trickery”. It's true, some of them are not beautiful, they don't have a great body either, but they transmit something different in their performance: either they are very intense, or very natural, or they really feel the sex. They are capable of generating more immersion than the big stars.
Some may consider them boring movies, or mainstream, but here are some of the most immersive and realistic VR movies ever, because it is my top priority. In all of them you feel like you're with the girl, when the movie ends you feel like you've made love to her. That's the magic of VR.

Best JAV VR Movies of 2024

Contrary to 2Dxxxisdead, I have ordered them from least to most.

10. SIVR-334
Director: Taro Kohara ; Cast: Murakami Yuka

Murakami Yuka is not a perfect girl (she has one breast bigger than the other), and that's why I like her, because she is a real woman. I find her a very pretty girl with a great body, and her performances are quite believable.


9. IPVR-268
Director: ZAMPA ; Cast: Nishimiya Yume

This movie was hammered in the reviews precisely because of what makes it different: it has no music, no dialogue, and no ambient sound. It's just you, the gorgeous Nishimiya Yume, and the noises produced by sex. All you hear is Yume's rubbing, sucking and moaning. It's a different movie and I find it very erotic, because it brings an extra of realism.

8. MDVR-283
Director: ZAMPA ; Cast: Mihama Yui

Mihama Yui is a very shy girl, and she shows it by biting her lip when she gets nervous. She does it without realizing it and that's why I love her. She also has a perfect slender body, and in this movie there is sex in every position, and you can explore her full body. I don't understand why she only has one VR.

7. MDVR-298
Director: Taro Kohara ; Cast: Chihiro Miyazaki

Shy actresses are my favorite, and there is none more shy than Chihiro Miyazaki. She is unable of holding her gaze for more than 5 seconds, she always ends looking up to the side. She is also a very cute actress.
In this movie debuts a new face-to-face missionary position, where you place your head on her shoulder. It has only been used a couple of times.
Again, I don't understand why there is only one VR with this model. Moodyz wastes their actresses.

6. CRVR-335
Director: Suzutake-san ; Cast: Amatsuki Azu

Amatsuki Azu is one of my weaknesses. Not only I think she's beautiful and has a great body, but she has a contagious smile that spreads joy. Only Satsuki Ena has a laugh to match her. By the way, a threesome with both of them would be a party....
In this movie Amatsuki Azu tries to lift your spirit with her motivational words and her body... I like it because it's a very intimate movie, and the face to face positions are great.

5. IPVR-261
Director: ------ ; Cast: Sasaki Saki

After Matsui Hinako, for me Sasaki Saki is the second best newcomer of 2024. She is a tiny girl with a petite body, and cuts on one of her arms (I wish it was bad times she left behind). But she is very pretty and above all, her performances are the most heartfelt of all JAV VR. She moans, screams, writhes, and her eyes get watery from the thrill of sex. Her 3 VRs are great.


4. KAVR-369
Director: Taro Kohara ; Cast: Kikuchi Haru

Some may be surprised to see this title here. Kikuchi Haru is probably the “least beautiful” actress that has shot VRs this year (this is a matter of taste), and the photoshop of the cover and photos is shameful, so she has been crushed in the reviews. But this girl breathes sex through all her pores. In this debut movie she looks like a veteran actress. She knows how to talk to the camera and how to act, and she's intense and passionate. She may not be the prettiest actress, but there are few who exudes as much immersion as she does.

3. SIVR-337
Director: Koji Osaki Hiro ; Cast: Kano Yura

When I finished watching this movie I was very happy: Kano Yura is one of my favorite actresses and this is her best VR. Unfortunately, I didn't know it would be her last movie, as she retired a few weeks later....
As a VR movie is very immersive, It has sex in all positions with the camera close and the face to face shots are great. But it also has something unique: here Kano Yura plays a hairdresser, and she cuts your hair naked. Unfortunately the scene only lasts a minute, but watching Yura naked, with her perfect breasts, while cutting your hair, is one of my top VR moments of 2024.

2. 3DSVR-1417
Director: Second Saito ; Cast: Miyajima Mei

Amidst so many f***rced sex, r***, and bloodbath movies, there's still someone in SOD VR with a bit of sanity to shoot gems like this one. The wonderful Miyajima Mei literally licks your whole body and melts you with awesome face-to-face sex scenes, especially the close-up missionary.
What stands out in this film, besides Miyajima Mei, is that the 8K version of A Festa, with 100 Mbps of bitrate, is the best looking VR in the entire history of JAV VR. The lighting is perfect, the definition incredible, and it's really like having Miyajima Mei five centimeters from your face (and your penis), without a headset. Image quality just like real life.

1. MDVR-315
Director: Yazawa Receive ; Cast: Aoi Ibuki

This is the only movie Moodyz has let me enjoy in 2024 with one of its big stars. The others are full of clothes, oils, and ridiculous costumes.
Only one, but for me the best of the year. With a girl that takes your breath away, and the best VR movie director in the world, Yazawa Receive.
It's a perfect “girlfriend experience” which perfectly balances the introduction and setting scenes with the sex, thanks that it lasts two hours and 40 minutes. Other movies want to do the same in 90 minutes, and in the end the sex is reduced to 15 minutes.
Ibuki moves into your house and there's sex in every position, with the camera up close, where you can enjoy every inch of Aoi Ibuki's glorious body. The angles and intimacy of this film are practically perfect.

Best JAV VR Actresses of 2024

A) Best Actress - Amatsuki Azu



As I commented above, Amatsuki Azu is one of my weaknesses. For me, she has it all: she's pretty, she has a great body, she's very friendly, and she knows how to act. She has shot 3 or 4 very immersive movies this year, and I hope she shoots many more in 2025.

Although I know I'm breaking the rules, I think it's mandatory to mention the wonderful Miyanishi Hikaru.

She has shot dozens of VRs this year (I don't know if she or Ko Nami Aya wins), but in all of them she is absolutely perfect. She is beautiful, has a perfect body and skin, and exudes warmth and tenderness. I have bought a lot of her movies, and I can't get enough of her.


A) Best newcomer - Matsui Hinako

Hinako has entered the JAV VR world like a hurricane. She is a tiny girl with very sexy curves and a slutty point, who already in her debut surprises for her natural performance, and because she knows how to choose the dirty words that make you horny... Her performances are very intense, and leave you wanting for more. Hopefully she will shoot many more movies with Unfinished, Kawaii or Moodyz in 2025.

I actually like her first VR best, but that came out 4 years ago and obviously isn't in 4K. This might have better quality but I feel the first was more intimate and had better GFE feel. And her makeup was lighter too.

But I suppose this was her only release this year though...

Another girl I like, but I also prefer her first VRs. I won't exactly say a young age is that important for me, but there's something strangely erotic about her declaring she's ju kyu sai in that video. Just 19 and her first VR. Wow...

But yeah...another 8k for her from Moodyz which is great I suppose.

Yeah, I like her a lot but goddamn so many junk releases along with Ozaki Erika and Kinoshita Himari...

 

[Walle12]

Lol I thought this came out last year.

She debuted in March, and already has 3 VRs, something very rare for an exclusive actress. It looks like her movies have sold well and Idea Pocket is taking advantage of it.

I like her, she's very cute. Just not a big fan of PXVR which is who she worked with more often this year.

Yeah, that Kawaii movie is the only one I like. She has others with PXVR and TMAVR, but they are pretty bad.

But I suppose this was her only release this year though...

I think Miyajima Mei has one more VR this year, but it's one of those f***rced sex ones that SOD VR likes so much....

Yeah, I like her a lot but goddamn so many junk releases along with Ozaki Erika and Kinoshita Himari...

That's what happens with freelance actresses, who shoot movies with all the studios, and many of them are very mediocre.

Come on, Chewbaka, post your list too.

 

[2dxxxisdead]

Great!!!
I'm surprised that, having such similar tastes, our favorites are so different..... That's what it's all about!!

From your list only AJVR-250, KAVR-376, MDVR-295, and URVRSP-296 are among my favorites of the year, but not in my Top 10. Sure you are a fan of Unfinished...

That's to be expected, if we share 4 out of 10 titles that's actually as similar as it gets. We had to choose from what? Like a thousand releases. Otherwise if it was 8 or more titles we have to check if we were actual twins . Also while we share how a movie should be made (immersiveness, close to the camera, naked in sex scenes, normal themes and so one) when it comes to which girls we like it's often very different with maybe a few similarities.

Yes, Unfinished has the formular that works for me the best. It's reliable and does what I like if it's a release in the roatation that has the girl naked of course. I'm also not bothered as much as you about the 'invisible ass syndrome' as you call it. Yes, ideally theres also a scene showing the girl from behind, but it's not a priority for me.

If I go over your list I also had 4 titles in my shortlist that we share: MDVR-298, 3DSVR-1417, MDVR-315, MDVR-283. By the way great list and thanks for sharing and like you said, I also hope for more participants and looking forward to @chewbaka picks. I have absolutely no idea what he will choose and it would be great if some of the million lurkers out there (yes I know you are reading this ) would join.

I've noticed that most of the actresses are not stars, and some have even been insulted in reviews, calling them “ugly” or “Photoshop trickery”.

That's what I hate the most about this community or discussions, seriously... I never understood this logic. If you don't like how a girl looks and are about to insult her move on, but especially SHUT THE FUCK UP and watch/discuss something else. And the photoshop trickery I get to a certain degree, feel free to critize it on it's own but again it never justifies insulting someone for their looks. When it comes to VR releases you can always check the trailer before a purchase/download and see how the girl actually looks. No trickerey here and even watching it in 2D you will see what you will get with around 95% certainty compared to the final 3D product. It's true that KAVR-369 might be the worst offender in 2024, but again, you could have watched the trailer before buying and see through the Kawaii marketing bullshit. Also in general saying that these girls are ugly is just plain wrong. Go outside, touch grass, pick 20 random people and tell me with a straight face that 10 out of them are more attractive then the actress you deem ugly... Nonsense.

What is fair game to me is if the girl itself made some changes to her body on her own, like tattoos or fake tits and so on. In this case it's fair game but on anything else I have zero tolerance and it discredits the person insulting someone right away to me.

A) Best Actress - Amatsuki Azu

Although I know I'm breaking the rules, I think it's mandatory to mention the wonderful Miyanishi Hikaru.

Good choices! I also liked both of them and they are great actresses. I suspected Sasaki Saki would be on your list since you mentioned her all the time for her performance. I guess it's just too many options to choose from...

Aiga Mizuki is an actress that doesn't say much to me, she has a very narrow lower face (or very puffy cheeks... ) And her body also looks very neutral to me.

Yep, l'm aware that only I would've chosen her for best actress but to me she outperformaned all the other choices this year and I thing that she is very attractive. If you are more into curvy girls than she is not really an option I guess.

10. SIVR-334

Interesting pick. I have all forgotten about this release and will check on it again. Please just ignore the basement dwellers on Fanza that said she is ugly because one of here boobs is bigger than the other.

Hinako has entered the JAV VR world like a hurricane... Hopefully she will shoot many more movies with Unfinished, Kawaii or Moodyz in 2025.

I really hope so but I would be suprised if Moodyz will pick her up. When have they done so with freelance actresses in the past? Would that mean that she is exclusive with Moodyz going forward or is it possible that they ust do some releases with her while she stays a freelancer?

 

[chewbaka]

Haha, I always enjoy making lists and if we're making a top #10 I can't be left out. My scrapper doesn't really pick out director names though.

#10 MDVR-286
Cast: Miyashita Rena

Far from ideal and I have so many complaints about this release. Yet its still makes the list cos for me, she's one of the most beautiful girls to ever do JAV right alongside Kawakita Saika and Ishikawa Mio. Love seeing her in that seifuku and I very often watch this video just for that scene when she's lying back onto you. Sex scenes are actually underwhelming and she's quite wooden but that's only in hindsight. My brain just stops functioning the moment she takes off her clothes. But this could be so much better which is why this is only at #10.

#9 SIVR-370
Cast: Shirakami Emika

Ridiculously cute girl in sexy maid outfits instead of those frumpy ones. This is a winning combo for me. This video is just pure eye candy for me, and I watched this to the point where my eyes would get diabetes if that were possible. Objectively, this isn't a great video. Its just way too suited for my biases. Its like S1 filmed this especially for me.

#8 KAVR-347
Cast: Satsuki Mei, Kashiwagi Konatsu

One of those crazy plot JAVs that will never happen but we guys all daydream of. Here you are, about to have some intimate sexy time with your GF when her younger sister suddenly bursts into the room and demands to be let in on the fun. And for some reason, your GF is totally cool with it and even encourages you to creampie her sister. Why? Shaddap, don't ask stupid questions.

Satsuki Mei is totally gorgeous and Kashiwagi Konatsu is a natural big boobed cutie so its overall an enjoyable 3P scene. They don't really get it on with each other though, probably cos that would be incestuous. Apparently there are some limits to how crazy JAV plots can be...

Bought a Satsuki Mei photobook while I was in Japan simply cos this lady is a work of art. Will have it hide it most of the time, but would otherwise leave it on the coffee table for other men of culture to enjoy.


Magnifique...

There are other girls I would like to buy photobooks of, but they're not so simple to find cos they're limited print and often sold out.

#7 IPVR-283
Cast: Nagahama Mitsuri

One of the sexier girls to make her debut in JAV this year. Idea Pocket found a winner here to replace the retired Aizawa Minami.

I know Walle doesn't like sex worker themes nor oil (actually, this is nuru gel), but I personally have had a soapland experience in Japan before it was just about the most erotic thing that ever happened to me. So yeah, vids like this bring back good memories although soapland girls are rarely this attractive. Well, I heard they might be at the premium ones but those only admit you if you are Japanese or are fluent enough to pass as one.

I guess its the immediate sex theme that really makes this work for me. They usually wash you first in soaplands for hygiene purposes (quite an erotic and fun experience on its own). But the expectation in premium soaplands is that you can immediately have sex as a starter before moving on to the main course.

Getting to experience that in VR is a major plus for me. And this a very well done soapland themed one.

#6 NHVR-223
Cast: Minazuki Hikaru, Marui Moeka, Kisaki Nana, Hinata Yura

Best harem release of the year for those of you who enjoy them. That's one strong cast of cuties and that one scene of their 4 butts side-by-side in the onsen is permanently etched into my brain. They have very playful attitudes and the whole video is just great fun from start to finish. Love their banter and their chemistry together. No, they don't really get it on with each other but its not that sort of video anyway. After all, the theme here is that all 4 of them want to make babies with you. Why? Shaddap.


Aw hell yeah. I want this printed on a poster and framed in my bathroom.

#5 MDVR-315
Cast Aoi Ibuki

IMHO, best Moodyz release this year. That it would be in my top #10 is a no brainer. She's not higher only cos I don't think she's as facially attractive as other girls on the list, but she takes off her top and err... what was I talking about again? I kinda forgot....

Not my favorite video of hers, but its a release from this year and its 8K so...

#4 SIVR-314
Cast: Mita Marin

One of my fav JAV girls. Its rare to find a girl who is both beautiful and cute with has such a tight body. Bonus is she's not as wooden in front of the camera like Miyashita Rena. Shame this is her only decent release this year with the other 2 being weird themed ones that I don't like. Where's the maid theme, S1? Do it and I will buy that on release. As with many slim and pretty girls in JAV, the sex scenes are average. But Mita Marin is the sort of girl you wish you had as your GF when you were younger - the sort you want to show off to your mum and your friends, and it would be weird if she were a sex machine.

#3 DSVR-1417
Cast: Miyajima Mei

This would actually have been #1 but I also have a few complaints about this title too. I love that strapless outfit of hers in the first clip but it stays on all the time. I don't require a girl to get completely naked, but she should at least pull it down at some point so we get a glimpse of those lovely breasts of hers. And what's with the 3rd clip being dedicated entirely to a blowjob on a dildo? I mean I kinda get why these scenes exist, after all it lets us see the girl do a blowjob without the mosaic. But to dedicate an entire clip to that and leaving us with only 1 sex scene is quite a letdown.

Fortunately for us, that one scene is fire. Sometimes, you really just need that incredibly hot scene and this one can potentially melt your headset on its own.

Incidentally, Miyajima Mei is one of my favorite gravure girls. She has 4 titles with Rebecca, they're all good but REBD-724 stands out for its outfits. Man, I really wish they did gravure in VR instead of me having to watch via some hack.


This is what I mean by wearing a strapless top and teasing us with it. That's how such tops should work in a JAV.


This teddy...

#2 IPVR-261
Cast: Sasaki Saki

Of course this was going to be on my list, for pretty much the same reason as SIVR-314 but I rate this higher cos she is otherwise a better performer. Where did even they find this girl? She could easily be a pop idol (just need to be that pretty/cute, nobody cares if you can't sing), but here she is with her clothes off having sex on camera. I don't even know how the talent scout persuaded her to do this, but he deserves a big fat bonus for finding this gem.

#1 KAVR-388
Cast: Itou Mayuki

I'm not quite sure how it happened. I wasn't a fan of Itou Mayuki last year cos I'm not really a big boob guy. But somehow this year, I've come to appreciate just how statuesque she is with a body that tells physics to go get bent. Those breasts of hers defy gravity yet are surprisingly natural. Not an extra ounce of body fat on her too, just check out that belly when she's bent over you in cowgirl. She has an amazing tushy too and she had another VR this year that focuses on that.

She has the sort of body American porn stars wish they had without resorting to surgery. They would be carving statues of her if she lived in ancient Rome. She has quite a few releases this year, all of which are pretty good but I'm picking this one cos of my bias for maid themes. Its mostly just the headband though, she never actually wears that maid outfit at any point.

Even so, that's someone with the body of a goddess seductively calling you goshujin-sama. Winner!

Small boob fan has a big boob girl as #1 in his list. Imagine that. Wasn't expecting this myself...

Best JAV VR Actress of 2024:
Itou Mayuki

5 titles in 8k, and I liked all of them. I actually really enjoyed the duo with Sakura Momo even though I know you guys didn't. For me, it would be at #11. Its my 2nd fav 3P scene for the year with KAVR-347 edging it out only cos of its fun sisters theme.

Honorable Mention: Miyanishi Hikaru

I really like this girl a lot, but somehow she doesn't quite make the top #10. She just had so many releases this year and many of them were forgettable like they're VR fast food. Its just her Unfinished VRs that are any good. If I had to pick a fav, its URVRSP-301. You visit a holiday resort with your girlfriend where they offer a massage service. She says your job is stressful and you deserve to relax a bit while she goes shopping on her own. Little does she know your masseuse has a very different idea of how to get you relaxed, hehe.

I particularly enjoy this cos of its cozy setting. Hikaru keeps that beautiful yukata on yet all the fun bits are on full display which is something I find really erotic. Screencap is a little distorted cos of how tricky it is to capture VR on 2D.

Frankly, her duo with Ozaki Erika in URVRSP-348 might have made my top #10 if it were more conventional instead of being ceiling-focused which I'm not a fan of. Its a legendary pairing. Just not a legendary angle. Sad...

Best Newcomer: Mihama Yui

I thought of giving this to Sasaki Saki but can't let her hog all the spotlight. Feels like I'm cheating here cos Yui made her debut late 2023 but she only made her VR debut this year so I guess it technically counts. Quite a good find by Moodyz but unfortunately only 1 VR title so far. Even so, this is a very intimate title with all the kissing and I really liked the face-to-face cowgirl in the 4th scene.

Hope to see more of her next year.

 

[chewbaka]

Y'know, going through my list make me realize aesthetics matter a lot to me. The better she looks doing image videos which I actually watch more than VR, the more I want to look her up later when I can use my headset.

Miyashita Rena. So beautiful...


Shirakami Emika. So cute...


Miyajima Mei. This semi transparent sun dress in the wind followed by the shower she takes...dear gods, I have to go take a shower just to cool off myself.


Itou Mayuki. Its like she got a cheat code when bodies were being handed out...


When I spend the majority of my time watching these stuff, you can see why my VR list is the way it is haha.

 

[Walle12]

Also while we share how a movie should be made (immersiveness, close to the camera, naked in sex scenes, normal themes and so one) when it comes to which girls we like it's often very different with maybe a few similarities.

True. Even if we like the same type of movies, in the end the key is the model, and here tastes are very personal... And as you say, there are hundreds of VRs to choose from... But that's the good thing, discovering titles other than your own....

It's true that KAVR-369 might be the worst offender in 2024, but again, you could have watched the trailer before buying and see through the Kawaii marketing bullshit. Also in general saying that these girls are ugly is just plain wrong.

Exactly. I was quite annoyed by the reviews of this title on Fanza because the top rated one, all it said was “Photoshop rip-off”, or something like that. And I thought the same as you: Kawaii offers trailers for their movies. If you bought a movie without watching the trailer and then complain that you don't like the girl, you're dumb... But I wouldn't be surprised if he bought the movie just to insult her...

One thing not to lose sight of is that, beautiful or ugly, that girl has decided to get naked and has sex on camera, in a video that thousands, millions of people are going to watch. That takes a lot of courage, so you have to have the utmost respect for all actresses.
I have sometimes harshly criticized plastic tits, but I criticize just that, the plastic tits. Or in a generalized way, that they use actresses with plastic tits, not the actress herself. And if I find an actress unattractive, I say so, but without disrespect. And of course, without insulting. We must have the utmost respect for women who decide to do porn, it is a very difficult profession.

I suspected Sasaki Saki would be on your list since you mentioned her all the time for her performance. I guess it's just too many options to choose from...

Ha ha, yes, I was embarrassed to add her because we had said only one actress.... But it's true, it's very difficult to choose. I like Sasaki Saki the same as Matsui Hinako but in a very different way, because they are very different. In the end there are always several actresses that you really like something very specific about them, and you can't choose.

I really hope so but I would be suprised if Moodyz will pick her up. When have they done so with freelance actresses in the past?

Moodyz occasionally shoots VRs with freelance actresses. For example one of your favorites, Amiri Saitou's MDVR-295. Which for me is the best VR of this actress, it was almost in my Top 10. And some time ago they shot with Matsumoto Ichika, Nagase Yui and other actresses who were freelance at that time.

 

[Walle12]

Haha, I always enjoy making lists and if we're making a top #10 I can't be left out

Ha ha, I knew it...
I really enjoyed reading the comments on your favorite movies, you're really a man of culture..... It's important to differentiate between what you like and what is good. We all have favorite movies that we know are not very good. Also when we don't like a movie, but we recognize that it is very good.

For example MDVR-286 and SIVR-370 are movies with a lot of shortcomings, but I totally understand if they are among your favorites of the year, especially if you like clothes. Miyashita Rena is absolute perfection, my brain shuts down 10 or 15 minutes too, in that movie. And Shirakami Emika looks absolutely adorable dressed as a maid, even if the costumes don't say anything to me sexually. Unfortunately we're left with what could have been and wasn't, in those movies. The great misfortune is that they only shoot one or two movies a year, and if one doesn't convince you, waiting is a torture. In my reviews on Fanza I'm starting to add the tag line that many of us only watch movies in VR, and they should shoot more often with their star actresses.

I know Walle doesn't like sex worker themes nor oil (actually, this is nuru gel), but I personally have had a soapland experience in Japan before it was just about the most erotic thing that ever happened to me

I don't like watching it on a movie, but I wouldn't mind experiencing it.... Did you really go to a soapland in Japan? WOW
I like Nagahama Mitsuri, I'm sticking with his latest VR that came out last week. For me Idea Pocket has been my favorite studio of 2024, they've kept the same line all year with the kind of VRs I like, and I love 3 or 4 of their actresses.

One of my fav JAV girls.

I also love Mita Marin. She was almost in my Top 10 but in that debut VR she is a bit passive in the sex scenes, that's why I chose SIVR-334 with Murakami Yuka, who is much more natural acting. The other VRs with Mita don't even remember anymore, I suppose they are from the Moodyz clothing and oil season. Almost all the VRs in my Top 10 are from before May, which is when Moodyz and S1 were still shooting girlfriend experiences without clothes or oil. From April onwards it has been torture for me with these studios.

I don't even know how the talent scout persuaded her to do this, but he deserves a big fat bonus for finding this gem.

Idea Pocket has hit the jackpot with Sasaki Saki. She is too pretty and cute for porn. A gem, I hope we'll see many more VRs with her in 2025.

I'm not quite sure how it happened. I wasn't a fan of Itou Mayuki last year cos I'm not really a big boob guy. But somehow this year, I've come to appreciate just how statuesque she is with a body that tells physics to go get bent.

I wasn't a fan of her either until this year, her first VRs I didn't even download, some I watched I didn't like the way she acted. But this year she has reached a sublime mature beauty, and as you say her body breaks the laws of physics. My favorite VR with her is KAVR-371. it has clothes, it has oil, but it last 2 hours and there are time for awesome nude and face to face scenes.

Feels like I'm cheating here cos Yui made her debut late 2023 but she only made her VR debut this year so I guess it technically counts.

Well, only VR debuts count here, the rest doesn't exist.. (for me, literally So you're not cheating...

Y'know, going through my list make me realize aesthetics matter a lot to me

No one blames you for that, those girls are absolutely stunning. From gravure to VR is a logical step.... We are lucky that step exists.
For 2025 I ask for some real lesbian VR, and for you, some gravure VR... I think that both possibilities are close to 0%, but dreaming is free...
For 2dxxxisdead more VRs with big tits, but he's a lucky guy, he's bound to get a few of those....

 

[2dxxxisdead]

Exactly. I was quite annoyed by the reviews of this title on Fanza because the top rated one, all it said was “Photoshop rip-off”, or something like that.

I can only repeat myself, do yourself a favor and ignore these idiots. It takes away your enjoyment as you say and they don't deserve any attention. Also that's unfortuanetely how the internet works nowadays, stuff like that is always on top because it drives engagement.

One thing not to lose sight of is that, beautiful or ugly, that girl has decided to get naked and have sex on camera, in a video that thousands, millions of people are going to watch. That takes a lot of courage, so you have to have the utmost respect for all actresses.
I have sometimes harshly criticized plastic tits, but I criticize just that, the plastic tits. Or in a generalized way, that they use actresses with plastic tits, not the actress herself. And if I find an actress unattractive, I say so, but without disrespect. And of course, without insulting. We must have the utmost respect for women who decide to do porn, it is a very difficult profession.

Thank you! I 100% agree with this statement and yes just explaining in a civilized manner why you don't like something or some girl is not an issue.

When I spend the majority of my time watching these stuff, you can see why my VR list is the way it is haha.

That makes sense and explains the vast differences in our lists, thou I also had some of your picks in my shortlist. You care more about how a girl looks in detail. For me it's more about the action, what kind of angles, how is it directed, is the story believeable and well made and so on. Also for me when it comes to girls there are some examples were I find her very pretty, but if she can't act I'm simply not interested or much less so no matter how much I like her body. It goes both ways, if a girl is very good at VR, knows how to manipulate the pace and can articulate herself very well than that makes her much much more attractive to me. So I guess I'm rather extreme on this side, you more on the other end of this spectrum and Walle12 picks fall inbetween.

#8 KAVR-347
Cast: Satsuki Mei, Kashiwagi Konatsu

Yep, the plot was extremely well done, both girls were very cute and it was somehow believeable even considering the ridiculous story like you mentioned. It was also on my shortlist but I eventually didn't include it in my top 10.

Bought a Satsuki Mei photobook while I was in Japan simply cos this lady is a work of art. Will have it hide it most of the time, but would otherwise leave it on the coffee table for other men of culture to enjoy.

This was funny to me somehow and gave me a good laugh, the thought of you and other men of culture enjoying these photobooks around a coffee table... That being said I would totally check them out at your place, if you consider me a man of culture of course

Best JAV VR Actress of 2024:
Itou Mayuki
5 titles in 8k, and I liked all of them. I actually really enjoyed the duo with Sakura Momo even though I know you guys didn't. For me, it would be at #11. Its my 2nd fav 3P scene for the year with KAVR-347 edging it out only cos of its fun sisters theme.

Never would have guessed that you pick her, not a bad choice. Insane body and she is a very good actress but for my taste too many releases had oil and customes in 2024 which I guess is what you are looking for so it makes more sense picking her. I did like KAVR-347 to a certain degree, I mean both girls are awesome but certainly not a release I would consider anywhere close to top 10. My favorite Itou Mayuki releases fall more into 2023, for this year I liked her in KAVR-363.

She has the sort of body American porn stars wish they had without resorting to surgery.

In my opinion you can't cheat yourself having a body like that with surgery, not even close. Maybe in a few hundred years it will be possible.

#3 DSVR-1417
Cast: Miyajima Mei

2. 3DSVR-1417
Director: Second Saito ; Cast: Miyajima Mei

Ok guys, I admit it, I was wrong about not including this in my top 10. I rewatched it yesterday and holy crap it was puuure eye candy and the execution and acting is insane from start to finish... just wow. I did not include it because of the time wasting Part C and I had to get my list down to just 10 titles somehow, but again whats left in runtime is just too good.

 

[chewbaka]

I don't like watching it on a movie, but I wouldn't mind experiencing it.... Did you really go to a soapland in Japan? WOW

More than once, but not that many times cos its so freaking expensive.

Buy holy hell...go to the right one with a girl who knows what she's doing and its a mindblowing experience. You don't get to see this in VR, but those 2D soapaland themed videos occasionally show the girls getting a lesson from an actual soap princess. They're not stunningly beautiful like the JAV stars themselves but their technique is something else. There is a catbath, and than there is THE catbath from a girl who has a magic tongue.

If you're single and you have the budget for it, its something to try at least once in your lifetime.

I also love Mita Marin. She was almost in my Top 10 but in that debut VR she is a bit passive in the sex scenes, that's why I chose SIVR-334 with Murakami Yuka, who is much more natural acting. The other VRs with Mita don't even remember anymore, I suppose they are from the Moodyz clothing and oil season. Almost all the VRs in my Top 10 are from before May, which is when Moodyz and S1 were still shooting girlfriend experiences without clothes or oil. From April onwards it has been torture for me with these studios.

I actually rate Asano Kokoro ahead of Mita Marin but she seems to have disappeared from VR in 2024. Sad...

I wasn't a fan of her either until this year, her first VRs I didn't even download, some I watched I didn't like the way she acted. But this year she has reached a sublime mature beauty, and as you say her body breaks the laws of physics. My favorite VR with her is KAVR-371. it has clothes, it has oil, but it last 2 hours and there are time for awesome nude and face to face scenes.

Her look changed from her debut. She had a makeover, possibly even a bit of plastic surgery on her face. That's fine, at least she didn't overdo it like Tenma Yui.



Left is roughly how she looked like on her debut. She had a more youthful innocent look back than, the sort of expect to see on a loli type with small breasts. She has a sultry and more mature look now to match that body of hers.

She basically went from being just a young girl with suprisingly big boobs to a confident sex goddess look. If there was some plastic surgey involved than its done well. Give the doc a medal for his contribution to culture. The makeup artists too.

 

[chewbaka]

So I guess I'm rather extreme on this side, you more on the other end of this spectrum and Walle12 picks fall inbetween.

I'm generally very vanilla in JAV preferences. Its like how Saika has been the #1 star on Fanza for a while despite criticism of her being boring, but folks like me will happily support her being boring. No, she does not need participate in harems. She does not need any BBC. She does not need to do gangbangs, f***rced sex, or whatever other kinky or more hardcore stuff. She can just go on being beautifully boring and folks like me will still support her.

JAV isn't real sex after all. For me, no matter how great a performer she might be, we're not really directly experiencing it. So the visuals matter for me to compensate. Not so picky in real life. Like I said earlier - if you go to a Japanese soapland, the best experience isn't necessarily with the hottest girl on the roster.

This was funny to me somehow and gave me a good laugh, the thought of you and other men of culture enjoying these photobooks around a coffee table... That being said I would totally check them out at your place, if you consider me a man of culture of course

I have more than just Satsuki Mei's photobook. I also bought Kawakita Saika's. And a hardcover of Suzumori Remu and 2 of Yagi Nana's. Man, that cos me a fortune. I also wish I picked up Ono Rikka and Nanasawa Mia's books but I was short on luggage allowance if not budget. Its less about the size. These books are heavy.

I think I will have to keep them tucked away most of the time but if there's an adult audience around only, I might leave them out - even if there are ladies present. I'm old enough not to care what others think haha.

"Pervert? Its art. Understand? Art. Like how museums have all those naked statues and paintings in them. I'm a patron of the arts.

Never would have guessed that you pick her, not a bad choice. Insane body and she is a very good actress but for my taste too many releases had oil and customes in 2024 which I guess is what you are looking for so it makes more sense picking her.

My favorite Itou Mayuki releases fall more into 2023, for this year I liked her in KAVR-363.

I really wasn't that interested in her initially. But I liked Sakura Momo so I checked out that video where they duo'd and that was likely when I started to notice her again. And than I started to appreciate her more on her own.

In my opinion you can't cheat yourself having a body like that with surgery, not even close. Maybe in a few hundred years it will be possible.

Both her and Suzumori Remu have practically impossible bodies, but Remu is either not doing VR anymore or Prestige is awful at it.

Ok guys, I admit it, I was wrong about not including this in my top 10. I rewatched it yesterday and holy crap it was puuure eye candy and the execution and acting is insane from start to finish... just wow. I did not include it because of the time wasting Part C and I had to get my list down to just 10 titles somehow, but again whats left in runtime is just too good.

Ain't it? You got the cameras set up, you got the girl for the day, at least shoot more scenes.

 

[Walle12]

So I guess I'm rather extreme on this side, you more on the other end of this spectrum and Walle12 picks fall inbetween.

Ha Ha, that's funny because I thought the exact same thing yesterday. Looking at your lists I realized that I like the kind of movies that 2Dxxxisdead likes, and the kind of girls that Chewbaka likes.... I'm somewhere in between, or I'm a fusion of you two.....

Never would have guessed that you pick her, not a bad choice

She basically went from being just a young girl with suprisingly big boobs to a confident sex goddess look. If there was some plastic surgey involved than its done well. Give the doc a medal for his contribution to culture. The makeup artists too.

I think Chewbaka has surprised us all with her choice of actress of the year, good thing we didn't bet....
It's funny because most of the girls in his list, are busty.... But I get it. This year S1 and Moodyz have failed us with Kawakita Saika, Yagi Nana and Ishikawa Mio, their VR has disappointed. And the return to VR of Suzumori Remu and Prestige has been a disaster.

With Itou Mayuki, as you say, something was missing in her first VRs. This year she has matured and accepted that she is a superstar, and that confidence is evident in his latest VRs
I don't know if she has gone through the surgeon, at least I don't notice it as others, and if I don't notice it I prefer not to think about it...

Ok guys, I admit it, I was wrong about not including this in my top 10

Well, it's really hard to pick 10. We've all left out some movies we'd like to include, and some I've seen on your list or Chewbaka's I'd possibly add in. It's inevitable.

Buy holy hell...go to the right one with a girl who knows what she's doing and its a mindblowing experience. You don't get to see this in VR, but those 2D soapaland themed videos occasionally show the girls getting a lesson from an actual soap princess.

That sound totally awesome!

She can just go on being beautifully boring and folks like me will still support her.

Just yesterday I was reading in the comments of a JAV release website, people complaining that Saika's movies are boring.... There are a lot of people who only enjoy watching the actresses humiliated and forced, doing all kinds of perverted things....
Like you, I'll stick with the boring Saika, and I admire that she decided to make only vanilla and mainstream content. Just because she's a porn actress doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to set the limits she wants.
I will also support her to death.... But I hope she shoots more VRs per year, not just 1 or 2, and if possible without oils and Chinese clothes...
As vanilla as she is, who can get tired of that perfect face and goddess-like body?

"Pervert? Its art. Understand? Art. Like how museums have all those naked statues and paintings in them. I'm a patron of the arts.

The Japanese are decades ahead of the puritanical and cynical Western society....

Yup, many of the girls I like are either retired, MIA or their releases were disappointing. Especially Ono Rikka's. That was so bad that I don't even want to watch it at all.

Even Matsumoto Ichika who is very active in JAV has nothing decent for VR this year. If you were asking about 2022, Ichika wil dominate the top 10 with the top 3 spots being the titles she duo'd with Nagase Yui. And she'll be in quite a few of the other videos too.

Maybe Saitou Amiri's Moodyz release this year should have been in, but somehow I didn't watch much of it.

Heard she had health issues and only just started working again. Maybe VR titles are too stressful for now for her.

The Japanese are decades ahead of the puritanical and cynical Western society....

I would say its actually the other way around. They're way behind. That's both a good and bad thing in some ways.

After all, they're the only porn industry in the world with a mosaic for 'puritanical' reasons adopted from the West...strangely enough. This is just so regressive but its the norm now.

But where other countries have pretty much shifted to digital and online only for porn, Japan is the only country where DVDs and blurays still sell well. Playboy no longer has any magazines. I think any form of 'culture' in printed form has died out in the West. But in Japan, photobooks are still a desired item. Its not just of pornstars. Celebrities, idols, and models also release photobooks. They're mostly just racy pictures with no nudity yet sales are also respectable.

I mean there is digital porn and photobooks, but somehow the physical media is still relevant. Piracy also isn't as huge a problem in Japan as other countries. I mean it still exists but the the West is trapped in this loop now where the porn industry is literallty controlled by pirates. If you're not already aware of it, look up MindGeek. Japan, there's still a number of folks willing to spend to support the girls instead of just going to Pornhub.

But the one thing I like about them is that their girls are still quite natural. Silicon enhanced breasts aren't exactly the norm. They are there but they're still very much in the minority. And there seems to be a greater focus on having some sort of plot instead of just getting straight to business.

And Japanese image videos is just first class. Western stuff doesn't even compare. They actually do make such content too. Remember those Playboy videos? MetArt's stuff is not bad though.

I can't watch American porn at all. European porn used to be elegant and classy with beautiful natural girl, but even they seem to have 'Americanized' and that's a bad thing.

I also wish I picked up Ono Rikka and Nanasawa Mia's books but I was short on luggage allowance if not budget.

Now I'm curious because I have no idea what these would cost. Like you said photobooks are really not a thing where I'm from so what have you paid for these and where did you get them? From a specialized bookstore or is it some kind of collector selling these with crazy markups?

But where other countries have pretty much shifted to digital and online only for porn, Japan is the only country where DVDs and blurays still sell well.

I don't see this as a disadvantage or backwards. Physical media has it's place and can make sense. The result is just that you have more options as a consumer. Like you say digital options also exist for these products. Also that you have to buy individual products compared to the streaming sites like in the west is a godsend. It drives innovation and quality instead of mediocrity and filler content.

When it comes to VR porn specifically there is a new worrying trend in the west. I think VRBANGERS has recently stopped allowing downloads for their content. I don't care for their stuff but I hope it does not become a trend. That's what I would hate the most, that it all could end up like Netflix, just streaming options, further mergers of the big players so only 1-3 mediocre options remain. Sound like hell to me. I mean the western VR porn scene is fucked already but it could get even worse...

My biggest gripe as a consumer for the Japanese market is not that they are outdated when it comes to technology or the censorship. The problem is the stupid DRM coupled with FANZA's monopoly status on bascially all the relevant content. I just hope that more people will use A Festa which might convince more studios to use it.

For 2025 I ask for some real lesbian VR, and for you, some gravure VR... I think that both possibilities are close to 0%, but dreaming is free...
For 2dxxxisdead more VRs with big tits, but he's a lucky guy, he's bound to get a few of those....

Seems like 2024 will end with a good one: AJVR-253 with Himari Kosaka.

Was not a fan of her so far with her prior work with KMP, E-Body and Koala but looking at these picture I might change my mind soon

Yes, it is true. In Japan they are much more traditional in many ways. I meant that photobooks are completely acceptable there, but here they would be impossible to publish, at least at a mainstream level.

There was much more sexual freedom in the West 20 years ago. Or maybe, in line with what you are saying, Japan is so traditionalist that they are still living in the 90's, at a social level... That scares me a little bit, because if puritanism starts to arrive in the country...
