+ Mei Miyajima (cmon SOD, do I really have to explain this one to you?)
+ Mai Arisu (more of a freelancer, but she had a release with SOD, her Unfinished VR was very good)
+ Igarashi Kiyoka (she is very good at VR, this has to happen)
+ Haruka Rukawa (crazy good at VR but again, no 8k VR yet)
In my wishlist of 2025, too...
think in almost none of the releases from 2024 something like this was includes with the exception of 3DSVR-1520 and JUVR-203
I've been asking for it for years in my reviews, in the forums, but nothing....
3DSVR-1520 has two of the most desirable actresses in JAV VR, and it's a much more immersive movie than most threesomes. And yet it has barely any reviews on Fanza, and the most upvoted is one that says “Don't buy it, it's a very weird movie...”. People punish the girls interacting with each other. To me, completely inexplicable.
--- More studios on A Festa with 8k releases ---
--- Higher bitrate at FANZA for 8k releases ---
I don't think we will see many more studios at A Festa. What I would like for 2025 is for KMP and Crystal's 8K titles to launch at the same time as in Fanza. Currently we have to wait months. I'm only interested in 1% of KMP's VRs and 10% of Crystal VR ones, but I'd like to buy it when it comes out, not half a year later. There are many KMP and Crystal titles in 8K that are not yet on A Festa.
About the bitrate of 8K titles on Fanza, it's hard to find a logic. The most important studios, like S1, Moodyz, Kawaii or Idea Pocket, have the worst 8K image quality of all, with bitrates between 11 and 15 Mbps. Madonna have been using a good bitrate for 2 or 3 months, between 30 and 50 Mbps. Alice Japan's latest, AJVR-253, also has a good bitrate.
My impression is that Fanza charges studios according to the bitrate of their movies, and most choose to pay the minimum bitrate. We have 8K movies that are 9GB, and then you see 4K movies that are 25GB.... On the contrary, as A Festa needs to attract non-exclusive studios because they do not produce VRs, and release far fewer titles than Fanza, they do not charge for using higher bitrate, and that is why their 8K movies have a bitrate of 80-100 Mps.
I don't think we see much improvement in this regard in 2025. On the contrary, the latest Kawai and Idea Pocket titles look worse than previous releases.
