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

[Walle12]

There was that initial fuss about VR being the next level of porn.

And than the pandemic made it so you can shoot JAV with only the girl unmasked cos she only has to make out with the camera.

But now that the Metaverse went poof and VR seems to have stagnated, I'm guessing the studios aren't as invested in the medium anymore.

Yes, it is clear that at the beginning they bet very heavily on VR. Unfortunately Google Cardboard did a lot of damage to VR. A lot of people got started that way, and at the beginning it looked like VR was going to take porn by storm. But the image quality was terrible, they were annoying, and they had fixed IPD, so a lot of people either saw it blurry, or had headaches. They were garbage, and within a few months people got sick of VR.

I think it's all been resurrected a bit now with Quest, supposedly they've sold 20 million Quests, and Quest 3 is selling well. And the Apple Vision Pro is awakening mainstream interest again (even if it's nonsense, because almost nobody can afford them).

Let's hope that VR will resurrect again. I can't understand that only a few people are aware of the brutal leap that VR is making in porn. I'm not saying it should replace 2D because many genres and styles are not yet in VR, but at least as a complement, I can't believe that someone who has tried VR porn would reject it, and prefer a tiny flat screen.

Yeah, VR made me notice a whole bunch of girls I never did before.

I think only a handful of girls I watched in 2D are still my favs in VR. Matsumoto Ichika, Nagase Yui (sadly retired), and Kawakita Saika.

Similarly, I've developed an aversion to certain aesthetics that I could look past in 2D. The natural beauty/personality of an actress plays a very crucial role now. If I were so inclined, I could see myself being dedicated to only one actress - the intimate nature of VR plays well into the actress-fan relationship. Watching her perform with other males however, no. Not appealing.

There are a couple more girls I really like, but they have either stopped or slowed their VR output. Like Ishikawa Mio who is only just releasing her 3rd VR title. She is a fav of mine in 2D. Her VR output is just too low. I still track a number of girls in 2D but I really only seem to grab their gravure clips these days. I still love watching those. Just the girl and no one else. Perfect.

A major downside to VR, releases being sporadic and releases from desired actresses even more so (especially from exclusives). Gravure was my first foray into raunchy Japanese content and still fond of it. The studio Fine Pictures is great, though have migrated away from gravure to more potent lesbian material.

Have seen a few gravure VR works in the catalogue. Wonder if it translates well into the medium.

I've seen a few people online express the sentiment you describe. They remarked on the novelty wearing off for them and returning to 2D porn. Guess it all depends on how one approaches the medium; my gripes lie with issues unique to flat porn, so VR is the obvious pivot. Many (most) don't seem to be bothered to any significant degree enough to be enticed by VR.

Online porn fans have told me that they self-insert as the male actor. Not sure how they do it. It's an undesirable form of voyeurism, no matter how it's spun. Solo female/lesbian content - voyeurism I have no qualms with and actively seek out. The intimate POV nature of VR doesn't require forced self-insertion, being in the driver's seat.

The "novelty" is that you go from watching ugly guys doing things with girls, to being the one doing it, life-size and in 3D, with the girls talking to you, kissing you and doing things with you. If it turns out that bores you and you'd rather go back to ugly guys doing stuff with girls on a tiny screen, while you watch.... Well OOOKKKEEEYYY...

I can understand if you get tired of it, or combine it with 2D because there are very few genres in VR and the movies are all very similar, and very vanilla. But to reject it completely because you prefer 2D, is something I can't understand. But it's the same with games, unfortunately....

It's frustrating when your tastes are in the minority, and you don't understand why others don't see it the way you do....

I stick to 5 main videos from the studio Ebisusan. Not sure if you already know about them: EVIS-395, EVIS-414, EVIS-436, EVIS-453, EVIS-509 - lesbian tongue sucking/kissing titles. There are a few more, but only available for streaming and not in HD. Very potent for me. They are holding me over until I get a headset... would be nice if they released those fetish titles more frequently!

Bibian is great, though not super fond of exaggerated performances. Those EVIS codes are more natural. The upcoming BBAN-470 does look enticing though

And because our tastes are a niche, VR porn adoptees are slow to come. The more eyes on VR porn, the better.

I don't understand them either Well, I kind of do... regular porn is passive in nature, you getting to watch something erotic done to a woman. Nice and simple, easy to access anytime you please. But when you have to keep dodging scenes and camera angles where the guy is too obnoxious/has main character syndrome, starts to irritate real fast. Can't count how many times my mood was ruined checking new release trailers - just video after video of slop! Once the illusion broke and I stuck to my guns, leaving was easier than ever.

Don't want to watch people having sex in person nor on-screen. Just the woman, as is almost the mantra of this thread.

I''l check it, thanks!! It's so frustrating that there is almost no lesbian content in VR....

This title, in VR, would be...

 

[teiji_ishida]

I'm glad it was helpful... It's not perfect but it's better than nothing.... At least it helps to understand what's going on....

Thanks for letting me know about the SRT file typo, I'll correct it in the guide...

I found this site https://www.deepsubtitles.com/ which will automate the translation using DeepL API for you. You have to register a free DeepL API account and paste in your auth key. Then just browse to your srt file, and it instantly translates the whole file for you in a few seconds and let you save it. Beats having to copy and paste line by line through the DeepL website. I was about to pull my hair out with RSVR-007-1 having 800+ lines lol.

 

[Walle12]

WOW, much better than copy and paste... Thanks!!

 

[enduraVR]

Added EVIS-261, EVIS-311, EVIS-327 (480p streams); EVIS-384 (1080p stream); and EVIS-344 (HD torrent) to the 2D lesbian folder. Content like this in VR is the dream...

To be honest, it doesn't add a whole lot to the medium. But I like it anyway.

The main problem is that there's isn't much of them. High quality clips are very rare. Most are low quality ones shot during the cardboard days.

The clip I've been able to get a hold on that I really like is CAIM-003 with Akimoto Tsubasa. Always liked her, being able to see her in VR is quite mindblowing and this video is of decent quality.

I also got CAIM-009 and CAIM-010 with Amaha Narumi but both clips are annoying cos...well, its the first time I've seen mosaics on nipples. I mean Akimoto Tsubasa wasn't shy about giving us a glimpse of them but this girl doesn't even want us to see a mild shadow through her lingerie. For crying out loud, just don't wear something transparent than. Or tape over your nipples. What's with that mosaic?

 

[enduraVR]

Amaha Narumi is a blast from the not-so-distant past - really like her style. Mosaics on nipples is very odd. As you say, just don't bother showing them if they will be censored. A benefit of regular gravure is the absence of pixels. Tape is usually the better alternative, especially when covering the genitals. The DKYF dance series utilises that well.

Seeing the likes of Rui Kiriyama or Marina Nagasawa in the flesh would be awesome, plus other gravure stars I'm unaware of. But from what the former has revealed, the gravure wage is super low if you aren't very popular, so mass adoption of VR in that scene doesn't seem feasible. We simply aren't there yet sadly.

According to those on the Oculus subreddit, Meta's servers are currently down. As a result, they cannot play games offline nor use Virtual Desktop. For many, it logs them out entirely. A glorified paperweight, to paraphrase one of the commentors.

For those that aren't connected to the internet when booting the device, they won't face an issue unless they turn on Wi-fi and it proceeds to request authentication - assumed to be for DRM.

Will make sure to take the necessary precautions when I get a headset. Certain companies really seem averse to the idea of providing a hassle-free offline experience.

Not planning on owning the same headset forever, presuming that new devices will emerge as VR develops further. But to know in forethought that the device's functionality is contingent on servers not crashing or them not pulling support doesn't inspire confidence. I'm sure the Windows Mixed Reality community would be gutted if, upon discontinuing their headsets, Microsoft bricked the existing hardware.

At least with PCVR the HMDs are compatible with whatever capable computer one owns, Wi-Fi a non-factor. The AVP received flack for its closed system, but the Quest shares similar pitfalls.

Eh? They were down? I didn't notice. I was still on about half an hour ago watching .... culture ... yeah... learning about Japan and stuff. Yeah...

Checked after I saw your post. Got in, still up.

Weird...

Yeah, the issue was resolved 30 minutes or so ago. Those already offline weren't affected. Seemed to be an account authorisation issue when going online. Doesn't seem to be an issue unique to Meta.

Yui Tenma looks markedly different compared to how I last remember her... a shame. Really liked her prior look. Wasn't convinced it was her until I looked through her recent catalogue - hoped it was a simple error of mistagging.

https://javtrailers.com/video/ssr00017 vs https://javtrailers.com/video/kavr00360

Being caught up with VR releases, I now understand how sparse they are. Recurring freelancers and an abysmally small number of exclusives. Seeing a liked actress augment her face just rubs salt in the wound, haha...

Looking on the bright side... how have you liked Ishikawa Mio's new release? Seems to have a number of intimate positions (face-to-face in second scene). Pretty solid release from a quick peruse. Lovely body and demeanour.

Yeah, its a fairly recent change IMHO. I think she still looked normal right up until OYCVR-095 with Miyazawa Chiharu. After that, something looks....different. I thought I might have been imagining things, but it seems you have noticed too.

Who is this girl? She kinda looks like Yui but...hmm...



I haven't picked up MDVR-271 yet. Soon...soon...

Edit: OK, yeah...watched a bit MDVR-271. Mostly just skimmed through it. No time to watch it in full now. Maybe over the weekend.

I thought the swimsuit portion was kinda a waste of content though, despite it being mildly semi-transparent.

 

[chewbaka]

Incidentally, do you guys know of any other VR titles that has a scene shot in that pool? Y'know, THAT POOL.

This one. This is Jinguuji Nao's JUVR-088.


Its just so cool to finally be able to see and experience that pool in 3D as though you are there. I would like to see more of this in VR, not just this angle.

I don't think there would be many. The owners of this place are still leasing out the apartment for JAV shoots but are no longer allowing the pool to be used for porn shoots cos they are tired of footing the cleaning bill for it, haha. For some reason, its the popular venue for so-called "soapland" shoots instead of an actual soapland. Go figure.

 

[enduraVR]

Would hate to be the cleanup crew haha

Found some VR works featuring that pool - yep, there aren't many at all. Misono Waka's seems to have been shot inside the pool itself.

Are you sure they are the same girl? They look like two different girls to me. I've seen another recent movie of her, the one Chewbaka posted, and her face is completely different. Either they're two different girls, or she's had botox or something on her face...

Yep, it's certainly her unfortunately... recognise her body and voice

Looks like a different woman all together.

I LOVE 3DVR-1167. It has an intro in the pool. The sex is at a room, but she is a beautiful real swimmer with a slender body... Awesome face-to-face scenes, very immersive VR from the best VR director in the world, Yazawa Receive.

 

[Walle12]

Yep, it's certainly her unfortunately... recognise her asshole and voice, haha.

Well, I was convinced She was a different girl.... Her face is totally different... I don't know what she's done to herself, but she looks much worse than before...
