Sorry for the delay, this weekend I had an unexpected compromise and I have not been able to make the list. In the end it is a mix of what you have selected. Either we have similar tastes or the difference between the 3 or 4 big VR studios and the rest is abysmal. Probably the latter.
I have compressed the photos so that they are not too heavy.
BEST VRs OF Q1 2025
10 - VRKM-1502 Amatsuki Azu
Only
Amatsuki Azu can make a mediocre studio shine. Give her a ball and weights, tell her “do gymnastics,” and she turns something conventional into a party. Her giggles and laughter make anyone's day. She is joy personified.
Plus she has a great body, and this is VRKM's “pink line”, which almost always has all the face-to-face positions, so good movie.
9 - DSVR-1697 with Ema Yano
Petite and with a body with curves in place, with a beautiful smile and a soft voice,
Ema Yano is a wonderful woman in the wrong studio. She is a former TV presenter and you can tell she knows how to act in front of the camera. The movie is a "girlfriend experience", one of the few made by SOD. It hurts because when they want to, they make great VRs.
8 - JUVR-217 with Sada Mariko
Madonna treats her actresses like queens, at least when it comes to shooting VR. Detailed and lavish sets, solid scripts, and perfect goodbyes.
Sada Mariko retires with this VR, and you can't ask for more. There's a bar chat with her, mega-immersive face-to-face scenes, and even tears of emotion at the end. S1, Moodyz and company need to learn (where is the farewell VR of my dear Yura Kano, S1? Ungrateful!).
Shame to see her go, a beautiful mature woman with the best teeth I've ever seen (not that I judge women by their teeth, like horses. It's just that I admire perfect natural teeth).
7 - IPVR-291 with Momo Sakura
Momo Sakura never fails. When you watch a VR with her, you know she's going to devour you. She sticks to you like a limpet and kisses you, licks you, hugs you, and has sex with you in every position. As with Mayuki Ito, the years go by and she gets more beautiful every day, and with a perfect body. One of the most immersive actresses out there.
6 - SIVR 401 with Kiyohara Miyu
Miyu still needs to improve her acting, but she has improved a lot. Not only she is so beautiful and has dark green eyes, which is rare for Japanese women, but her amazing tits are to die for in 3D.
The script is boring but the sex is immersive, so straight to the top.
5 - VRKM 1482 and VRKM 1483 with Shizuki Koharu
Not that she's particularly pretty or has a particularly sexy body, but
Shizuki Koharu is the only actress who has ever gotten me to watch a movie where the girl doesn't take her clothes off. Those coy looks avoiding the camera while biting her lips, that voice that is barely a whisper, her sideways glances that are saying “I'm so embarrassed, but do whatever you want to me”, turn me on so much....
Strangely she always makes extreme or full-clothing movies, so these two VRKM titles with nudity and face-to-face missionary, no weird stuff, are a treasure.
4 - KAVR-401 with Ito Mayuki
Until a little over a year ago, I had never been attracted to this actress. But she has reached a maturity in her beauty and acting that has made her a star.
This movie is 140 minutes without dialogue. Just the sounds of sex, Ito's moans, and her awesome body 20 centimeters from yours, in all sorts of immersive positions. Who needs dialogue?
3 - SIVR-394 with Kawakita Saika
The script is dull, the scenery is bland, Saika wears a terrible hairstyle, she is more absent than usual. It's not her best VR, but watching Saika take off her panties 20 centimeters away from you, and then having sex in immersive face-to-face positions with one of the most beautiful women on this planet, is a privilege we mere mortals don't deserve.
S1 should be ashamed to make a VR with this goddess with such a bad script, with that hairstyle, and with an image quality to cry for.
2 - MDVR-342 Yagi Nana
Moodyz is killing me this 2025 with its technical problems, with Ibuki and Rena big-headed and gigantic, with its movies full of clothes, two years without a decent VR with Mio, debuts less and less immersive.... There's a reason why there's only one movie of them on my list. But an unclothed face-to-face missionary with the gorgeous
Yagi Nana almost makes up for it all. Almost.
Nana and Saika are two of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in my life, in and out of porn....
1 - HNVR-152 - Kasui Jun
The number 1 movie that we all agree on... This is not a movie, it's a conjunction of planets. Something that only happens once in a lifetime.
First
Kasui Jun comes back years after retiring. And she comes back knowing how to act...
Then, that Hon Naka shoots a VR without clothes, there must be 5 or 6 like that in the more than 150 they have shot. Plus they shoot a face-to-face missionary... That the two things come together, I think this is the second or third... In other words, a conjunction of planets.
Kasui Jun looks gorgeous, the story is silly but doesn't interfere with the sex scenes, and Jun is mega interactive, not like her previous VRs. Plus mega immersive camera angles, all the positions.... From Hon Naka??!! In other words, a miracle.
---------------------
The surprise: SIVR.-402 with Isida Karen
I'm not really attracted to girls who are too skinny, and Isida Karen is one of the skinniest I've ever seen. But I was surprised by this actress. The hairstyle doesn't suit her, she looks prettier in her 2D movies, but I already talked about that further back....
Her perfect smile, her kind voice, her perfect acting in front of the camera (you can tell she's an ex-idol), her immaculate pearly skin on par with Kasui Jun.... I found her very attractive in the end. And the movie is immersive and has all the positions, so it could have entered my Top 10 perfectly.
The disaster: SIVR-388 with Miho Nana
This stab wound is still stuck in my back. Months waiting for a VR with Miho Nana. The previous VRs were garbage. Almost two years without a decent VR with her. And S1 does THIS. They insert another guy on screen, and you as a stupid voyeur. And when the stupid guy comes out of camera.... HE'S TALKING FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE.
I'll leave it here, because I'm getting fired up.
Best Actress: Shizuki Koharu
As you have commented, it's hard to choose because in three months few actresses have more than one movie. Ito, Momo, Jun, give a better performance, but I'll stay with Koharu because she has two VRs that I like, and without doing anything, just being herself and showing her shyness, she already excites me like the previous ones.
Best debut: Nomiya An (MDVR-333)
Ema Yano and
Isida Karen should also be here, but I have selected
Nomina An so as not to repeat. A young girl, very pretty, who is very involved in her debut, and also sweats and has curves that I like. I hope to watch more VR with all three.
Wishes fulfilled in 2025
+ Yagi Nana naked in VR.
Wished for the rest of the year
+ A real lesbian VR movie (4 years waiting)
+ A realistic “girlfriend experience” with Miho Nana, naked and with a face-to-face missionary. S1, you owe me this.
+ A decent VR with Fujita Kozue
+ A new studio to release quality VRs. Or the return of Prestige with VRs from 2025, not 2019...
+ SOD VR appoints a non-Yakuza content director.
