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

[pavento]

Welcome to JAV VR. Considering your fetish, VR is probably the best way to experience it haha. I don't go for it myself, but hey...you do you.

You can actually search for that fetish on Afesta.

Here you go: https://www.afesta.tv/en/search/all?keyword=armpit&page=1&vr=1

There are compilations that are just armpits all the way. They're quite cheap and Afesta's stuff doesn't have DRM.

Here's a similar search on Fanza, I put in the VR and armpit keyword for you already.

年齢認証 - FANZA

From here on, it will be an adult site that handles adult products. Access by anyone under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited.

video.dmm.co.jp

If you can find it on Afesta, get from there instead. Fanza stuff has DRM. The excellent KAVR-353 can only be bought on Fanza though. I'm not an armpit guy, but even I like that video cos Futaba Ema's breasts are just so perfect in it. If its a KMP video (VRKM, SAVR, KMVR) or SOD video (3DSVR), you should be able to find it on Afesta.

Thank you for the knowledge @chewbaka, I appreciate it
I will go check it out!

 

[Itsabiggapepperoni]

hi guys, i'm new to vr. It's like dream come true when i first try it. Can you guys recommend VR jav about girl showing armpit? i'm an armpit fan

Since i like Ema Futaba a lot, this one came to mind, KAVR-353

Other than that i recall a some of URVRSP scenes focusing on armpits in the past, you should check some of these out

 

[Walle12]

@Walle12 wow these are amazing, thank you for the recommendation
I hope JAV have a specific genre about armpit, cause I'm really into it LOL

Your are welcome!
They showed more armpits a year or two ago, but it's still quite common, they show them in quite a lot of VRs. Give priority to 8K titles, for example 3DSVR-1627, KAVR-353, PXVR-257...

In the links posted by Chewbacca, you can find many more titles.

[Itsabiggapepperoni]

Ok, ill go. Let's start with the bad:

Biggest disappointment was easily SIVR-388, anticipated Nana Miho scene that turned out to be an NTR Cuckhold story. Followed up by Fujita Kozue releasing multiple scenes that all focus on some niche fetishes - in the most recent one, she's making the "Ahegao" face the entire time, and i can't stand it.

And now the good, my top 10 scenes of 2025 so far:

First, out of the "Big Three" studios, I enjoyed these the most so far. Marina Yakuna especially, I really love her energy
SIVR-389 Yu Tano
MDVR-342 Nana Yagi
IPVR-302 Marina Yakuno

I like variety. Sometimes i want to dominate, other times i want to be dominated. Here's a bit of both
URVRSP-433 Yumi Nijimura - Masochistic Yumi eagerly deepthroats and asks to be choked. Pretty intense at times, but she looks to be really into it
URVRSP-403 Rika Yumeri - Pretty light femdom theme here, but this innocent looking girl acting dominant drove me nuts. Multiple creampies, great eye contact

And the other five scenes in no particular order
AJVR-258 Shiori Kuraki - She's been showing up more recently, and i really enjoy her scenes
HNVR-152 Jun Kasui - Happy to see her back, and the scene was excellent
KAVR-407 Himari Momose - VR debut I think? Very cute girl
DSVR-1705 Hinako Mori, Himari Kinoshita - One of my favorite duos, they always have great chemistry
FCVR-042 Ran Kikuno, Akari Niimura - Fitch returning with some of their exclusive talent, and joined with an OG performer Akari

Best Actress - that's a tough choice, as few have more than one scene to judge. If we're talking volume, Ena Satsuki and Aya Onami are as busy as ever, and still great performers.

Best New Actress - Koharu Shiina released a ton of scenes, and proved to be a natural at it. She hasn't made the top 10 mostly because I have yet to catch up with her movies

Future wishes: More big titties from SIVR. I desperately need to see more of Hikaru Nagi, Haru Minato and Momoka Kagura. Ideally all at once. Thank you.

 

[Walle12]

Hey, great selection!! Thanks a lot...

Biggest disappointment was easily SIVR-388, anticipated Nana Miho scene that turned out to be an NTR Cuckhold story. Followed up by Fujita Kozue releasing multiple scenes that all focus on some niche fetishes - in the most recent one, she's making the "Ahegao" face the entire time, and i can't stand it.

I agree word for word... SIVR-388 is going to be my big disappointment not of the quarter, but of the year. With Fujita Kozue her last releases have been torture, my hopes (not very high) is VRKM-1539, coming out next week.

I really like your choices of the big three studios, most of them are going to be on my list. Not so much the ones from Unfinished, a studio that for me is completely lost. That said, I liked the missionary in URVRSP-403, one of the closest I've watched. But they've released this year like 6 or 7 VRs with Rika Yumeri, and all with clothes....

The best actresses are great, and about Koharu Shiina, she's a pretty girl with a nice body, but I find her butt marks from cosmetic surgery very distracting.... Or rather, the excess of bad makeup they put on her to cover them up, which shows too much....I know I am a bit silly because for example Saki Sasaki or Akari Minase have much more visible arm marks, and yet those don't bother me....

Oh, and I sign your future wishes as well.... Thanks!!

Actually, you already have 10 titles you liked this year after only 3 months?

 

[Walle12]

Not many more, but yes, I have at least 10 VRs that I liked. Considering that about 200 VRs must have been released in these three months, it's a very low percentage...
Anyway, there's no need to recommend 10. If you only liked 5 or 6, then list those...

 

[2dxxxisdead]

I hope JAV have a specific genre about armpit, cause I'm really into it LOL

Welcome pavento. I guess you are covered already with all the recommendations . Unfortuanetely no real filter does exist for fetishes like armpits. I think both shops and the studios could improve in this area. They mostly spam tags, for example when a title has a single kiss they tag it with the "kiss/kiss" category but other titles that have tons of kissing sometimes don't even use the tag. If you really care about certain categories you have to manage your library yourself and add tags. I thing chewbaka uses XBVR in combination with Heresphere and edits the rather meaningless Fanza tags individually.

If you still want to use the Fanza tags the quickest method would be h-vr.net with the "other fetishes" category. But those include many different fetishes, not just armpits so it is hit or miss: https://h-vr.net/tag/その他フェチ

Here you go: https://www.afesta.tv/en/search/all?keyword=armpit&page=1&vr=1

It didn't even occur to me that you could simply search English words with A Festa. I think the movies shown with this method have to have the word in the title to be searchable. Better than nothing but of course this method and the Fanza method (just 27 titles) is just a fraction of titles that include armpits.

The Kana Morisawa VR I want, VRKM-1378, was released 8 months ago, and still missing on A Festa...

It's now on A Festa. It's not for sale yet but will be available in a few hours. If the filesizes shown are correct they have yet again reduced the bitrate, in this case 55mbits

Followed up by Fujita Kozue releasing multiple scenes that all focus on some niche fetishes - in the most recent one, she's making the "Ahegao" face the entire time, and i can't stand it.

Good to see you are participating. Yes Fujita Kozue has a history of weird VRs and it continued in 2025. I like the actress but almost none of her releases is to my liking. But actually the one you are referring to VRKM-1522 is one of the few that to me were at least watchable. I don't mind the ahego face too much and she isn't doing it all the time in the sex scenes. And in this release she is at least naked plus the release has decent angles and only a few distractions besides her making that face. If you like it vanilla and as Walle12 has already mentioned I think the upcoming VRKM-1539 could be it:

Best Actress - that's a tough choice, as few have more than one scene to judge. If we're talking volume, Ena Satsuki and Aya Onami are as busy as ever, and still great performers.

I also like both of these actresses as well. But for 2025 I didn't like any of Aya's releases. Which one did you like?

Best New Actress - Koharu Shiina released a ton of scenes, and proved to be a natural at it. She hasn't made the top 10 mostly because I have yet to catch up with her movies

Technically she has had her debut in 2024 with URVRSP-393 but otherwise I would agree with you. She is very pretty, is a good actress and had a couple of good releases this year.

Future wishes: More big titties from SIVR.

Haha, I'm 100% with you!

+The 10 titles you liked the most.

Actually, you already have 10 titles you liked this year after only 3 months?

10 titles already? I have to see if it is possible.

 

[Itsabiggapepperoni]

I also like both of these actresses as well. But for 2025 I didn't like any of Aya's releases. Which one did you like?

That's fair, I looked back and realized the scenes I watched are all from last year. But I like her in almost anything I see, SAVR-520 looks promising
I also discovered she debuted in 2016 which is crazy with how young she looks. Probably had a break and changed her name at some point

Technically she has had her debut in 2024 with URVRSP-393 but otherwise I would agree with you. She is very pretty, is a good actress and had a couple of good releases this year.

And her AV debut was mid 2024, 3 months is not a lot of time to make an impression to be fair. If we stick to VR Debuts only, Himari Momose and Ran Kikuno stood out to me so far

Better than nothing but of course this method and the Fanza method (just 27 titles) is just a fraction of titles that include armpits.

It only works on the English version of Afesta. If you're on the Japanese version, you have to use the kanji.

[chewbaka]

OK, I caught up to the Fanza stuff. Huh, I surprisingly did manage to find 10 titles I liked. Reducing size and quality of screencaps so as not to slow the page loading down by too much.

#1 HNVR-152 - Kasui Jun
Its good to have our porcelain skinned beauty back. But I see Honnaka haven't been taking good care of her from the scars on her knees. C'mon, I know that's part of the job but don't work our girl like that. But we finally got to hear her say 'naka ni dashite' cos its Honnaka so that's nice. If Japanese ghosts are these sexy and playful, I'm totally going shopping for a "jiko bukken" in Japan.


#2 IPVR-296 - Sasaki Saki
She's almost always in seifuku in her titles these days. Suits me just fine, she's hot as hell in one. So hot that I don't even care this is a imouto themed title. If Saki is my younger sister than I'm so going to hell and it'll be totally worth it. She has 2 titles so far this quarter and I like this one a bit more than the other.


#3 KAVR-401 - Itou Mayuki
Of course this was going to be on the list, this is one smoking title despite its theme of being 'silent'. Mayuki is statuesque perfection, as always.


#4 MDVR-342 - Yagi Nana
We've been waiting for a decent VR from her for a while and we finally got one. Ishikawa Mio did a similar reincarnation themed one last year but it wasn't so good. Nana did it better, thank goodness. Its ranked this high just cos its Yagi Nana though. I have a thing for her since 2D JAV.


#5 KAVR-402 - Hinata Natsu, Itsuha
Its a tale as old as time in JAV but wil never happen in real life. You meet up with your childhood friends, get drunk together, and decide to sleep it off in a convenient love hotel. Of course, no one actually gets much sleep. This is surprisingly fun to watch cos of their playful interaction. There's barely any lesbian action going on here despite the kiss depicted on the cover, but they genuinely seem to be having fun together even if Natsu initially sulks when Itsuha pushes her off your dick. Of all the 3P videos that came out so far this year, this is the one I like best even though it has no big names in it. This is one cute pairing for a 3P.


#6 HNVR-139 - Mitani Akari
Her first VR of the year, and here's hoping there will be more cos I think she might be retiring soon. Shame, cos she's a sex goddess and one helluva performer. However, I suspect this title might not make some of your lists cos of the complete absence of F2F missionary.


#7 IPVR-292 Sakura Momo
Wish this was longer. The outfits were really sexy and its Momo doing her usual thing.


#8 MDVR-332 - Ono Rikka
Her first decent 8k title, but somehow its not as good as her 4K ones. Not sure why, maybe the 8k gives too much detail or maybe industry wore her down or something. Does look like there's a touch of plastic surgery on her face, not sure why she needs it. And I really prefer her with black hair instead of this brown dye. Regardless, she's still prettier than most JAV girls out and she still has that body that I liked since 2D.


#9 MDVR-341 Arata Arina
Another one who's here cos I have been quite fond of the actress since 2D. Quite a few complaints about this VR. 2 scenes that are just blowjob only, and I don't really like bunny costumes so that rules out 1 of the scenes. But that last scene makes up for all of it.


IPVR-308 - Sasaki Saki
Her other video, cos its Sasaki Saki. Saki is my muse this year.


Disappointments:
Surprisingly quite a lot, but its mostly Moodyz related. The poor camerawork in MDVR-334 with Aoi Ibuki. Ishikawa Mio keeping her clothes on for way too long in MDVR-336 even though they're not at least semi-transparent. And MDVR-338 which I bought just to encourage Moodyz to make more VRs with Miyashita Rena but is otherwise also not that well made.

But if I have to pick between them, it will be MDVR-336. You can sort of fix the camerawork a bit in MDVR-338. Rena's beauty still kinda makes her watcheable in MDVR-338. However, its not like you can pull Mio's bra back down. She actually slid it down earlier, why did she let it slide back up and leave it there? Its 4 disappointing 8k titles in a row now with Mio. Moodyz is really wasting one of their best girls.


The Surprise:
See KAVR-402 at #5. Actually knocked SIVR-390 with Mita Marin and Asano Kokoro off the list.

Best Actress of the quarter:
Sasaki Saki, of course. Did you even have to ask?

Best New Actress:
Nomiya An (MDVR-333). She's quite cute, and breasts like that always get my attention.


Wishes for the rest of the year:
- Get your act together, Moodyz. And make another VR with that cutie Kira Kira. Take her to a dentist to whiten her teeth a bit first though.
- Another Shirakami Emika VR.
- More Miyajima Mei pls. And not the usual weird or creepy SOD VR ones.
- Aisai Ria and Shirokumo Ame from IdeaPocket to start on VR and give Sasaki Saki some competition.

 

[Walle12]

It's now on A Festa. It's not for sale yet but will be available in a few hours. If the filesizes shown are correct they have yet again reduced the bitrate, in this case 55mbits

At last! Thank you! Almost a year of waiting... What a torture... I'm only missing the last two Shizuki Koharu movies (VRKM-1482 and 1483).
I don't know how you keep bothering to look at the file sizes at A Festa..... I've been shopping there for years and have yet to see one that's right..... I've bought it and it's at 80 Mbps.... BUT.... part 2 is missing... So again to complain to tech support.
I thought the Japanese were serious and professional people, but in this store they are incompetent.... I have already had problems with 4 or 5 movies.... The one that is not pixelated, is missing some file....

 

[Walle12]

I surprisingly did manage to find 10 titles I liked.

WOW, man, I guess my list doesn't make much sense anymore, because it's going to be almost the same as yours.... In the best of 2024 we coincide very little, but in this one they are almost clones....
Although I see that there are more overlaps of actresses than titles. For example I also have movies of Momo Sakura and Mitani Akari, but other titles...
Unfortunately, although I love her, nothing of Sasaki Saki in my list.... Too many clothes and costumes this year.... I hope for something more realistic and less “porn star” with her, for the rest of the year.
MDVR-332 with Ono Rikka would be in my top as a movie: it's long, immersive, and has the positions I like. And Rikka is very interactive. But, unfortunately, it's late. It would have been perfect in Ono Rikka's pre-surgery days, but now.... I don't know what she's done to her face but she's changed it completely. Unfortunately for the worse. I don't find her attractive anymore. I can't understand what drives one of the most beautiful girls in JAV, to have surgery.

I agree word for word on everything good and bad you comment about Moodyz.... And as it happens to me, if FANZA take away the big studios we are left with nothing....
Hopefully in the rest of the year we will have new VRs with Shirakami Emika and Miyajima Mei... And those debuts you mention....

 

[2dxxxisdead]

I also discovered she debuted in 2016 which is crazy with how young she looks. Probably had a break and changed her name at some point

Yes, she was insanely cute back then. The reason for her break that I have seen is that she couldn't handle some negative / mean reviews.

Her acting in VR was always very good, even back in 2017/2018. She has a good instinct on how to work with the VR camera.

Too bad all of her earlier VR titles were made with ancient camera tech. They are blurry, low res, static and they feel choppy with the 30fps. I think her earlier titles are too bad to begin with that any AI model could fix these issues. I will try it anyways with 1 or 2 titles of hers just out of curiousity but I don't expect much.

Also in terms of angles and camera distance these titles are extremly outdated from todays standards. JAV VR has come a long way since then with all these improvements that we take for granted now.

I don't know how you keep bothering to look at the file sizes at A Festa..... I've been shopping there for years and have yet to see one that's right.....

Well because I have bought a title in the past under the exact assumptions you are mentioning. It showed 50mbits on the storefront and I thought it must be a mistake and well I bought it and the title had 50mbits... Now for this title I can't even complain to the A Festa support because I got exactly what was advertised. These issues only exist for KMP titles. SOD and Crystal always have a higher bitrate but KMP VRs are all over the place on A Festa. So yes, they make too many mistakes and are inconsistent. They should just show the correct filesize on their damn website.

 

[Walle12]

At last Kawaii lives up to its name and launches a VR with a Kawaii girl, with no f***rced sex or weird stuff. The girl's name is Nanami Mami and she debuted in JAV just a week ago... This is her second movie. That's what you call fast VR debut...

KAVR-418 April 13





@pavento , It's been a long time since it happened, but coincidentally a couple of days ago KMP launched a VR compilation of armpits... 458 minutes of girls with their arms up in the air...

VRKM-1531



Finally, I thought they had abandoned VR, but 4 months later, E-Body has announced its first VR of the year. It's one with a chick with plastic boobs, EBVR-107, but at least they're still in VR.

 

[Walle12]

By the way, preparing the best of the quarter list (Two titles that I already had I have seen that they are dated December 2024, so I need to change them), I realized that DMM must have had a hairdressers strike or something, because in the last VRs with Moodyz and S1 stars, the hairstyles they wore are terrible...


There's no way Saika and Nana look ugly, but the hairdressers tried their best.....
Usually the hairstyles and makeup in VR movies is worse than in 2D movies, or at least they spend less time on it. Or maybe it's that as in VR we see the girls 10 centimeters from our eyes, and life-size, it's reality. But in the case of those hairstyles, I think the level has dropped a lot.

 

[2dxxxisdead]

On to the highlights of 2025...

+The 10 titles you liked the most.

First those that some of you have already mentioned:

URVRSP-403 Rika Yumeri - Pretty light femdom theme here, but this innocent looking girl acting dominant drove me nuts. Multiple creampies, great eye contact

Good one. Normally not my kind of fetish. But I was also sold on how well it was made with perfect pacing, constant eye contact like you say and the camera always very close. Also Rika Yumeri's teasing with her feet was on another level, awesome

#1 HNVR-152 - Kasui Jun

HNVR-152 Jun Kasui - Happy to see her back, and the scene was excellent

The one release we will all agree on. My only complains are the picture quality and that they decided to call you "Taro", why? Everything else about this release was flawless including the much improved acting of Kasui Jun.

On to some more releases
3DSVR-1652 with Satsuki Ena

I include this release mainly for one simple reason: to me it had the best missionary of 2025 besides maybe HNVR-152.

Of course Ena is great as always, the rest of the title is solid and it is on A Festa which is a plus for me. Please SOD, do more movies like this.

JUVR-217 with Mariko Sata

Her last JAV title, Mariko has retired but she left with a banger. The story was very interesting, bascially it merges fiction with reality in which you as a fan enjoys some quality time with her for the last time. She also talks about her "private" life which is more or less the extension of her career after JAV. The persona Mariko seems to life on after her retirement. For example she has a bar in which you can meet and talk with her privately. Interesting but weird. Apparently she makes good money like this with domestic and international fans and as far as I understand it it's just talking but you pay by the hour

Anyways back to JUVR-217, yes it also had sex scenes and they were near perfect. Her acting was stellar, it had all the angles you could ask for and the picture quality was great. At the end she even got emotional and I fully believe it. The perfect farwell.


JUVR-209 with Maki Hojo

I could've picked any of the very similar releases of this studio like JUVR-212 or JUVR-213. Madonna is by far the most consistent studio at the moment. It take place in this spa/resort in which you enjoy the company of a beautiful mature married woman and bump into her by accident. All of these releases are super well made, awesome fantasy, great acting, good angles and the picture quality is decent which is a rarity for Fanza studios. I hope Madonna keeps it up and we get more releases like this in 2025.

+Best actress of the quarter

Maybe too early to tell because most actresses have one or zero releases so far. If I had to choose it would be Koharu Shiina simply because she has two releases that I liked, 3DSVR-1690 and CRVR-357.

+Best new actress

3DSVR-1697 with Ema Yano

For me the best debut of 2025 which also concludes the best new actress category. The release is not perfect with the unnecessary part 2 with extra filler material. For the sex scenes it also had segments in which the camera is too far away for my liking. But Ema Yano's performance is excellent, she is also very pretty and the rest of the release is good. I hope we will see more of her soon.

+The surprise: A VR that you did not expect, and that has surprised you.

Best gimmick of 2025 so far was in URVRSP-405 in which you make the shower see-through with a remote

Maybe no one else cares about this but I really appreciate small details like that. It does matter if the creator puts in some extra effort and tries to make more than just gonzo porn. Thanks Yazawa Receive.

+The big disappointment: a title you were looking forward to, and it was a disaster.

As I have said many times before it is not a specific release but still the overall picture quality of many of the Fanza release. Especially for those releases of the """""premium"""" studios S1, Moodyz, Idea Pocket and Kawaii. It's also the reason that I have not a single title from these studios in my list. For that reason I have deleted countless titles from them because it completely breaks the immersion for me. The only exception I have made was with HNVR-152. If a title is like a 8/10 for me but it has a bitrate of 8-12mbits it drops to a mediocre level like 3 to 5/10 and it is hard to watch. It looks more like a twitch stream and not a 8k premium release. It helps a little bit if the camera is very close but even in these cases it is often not enough. To me it would make a huge difference if they at least release it with 20mbits like Unfinished which is not ideal but acceptable and not too distracting.

+Wishes for the rest of the year.

>20mbits for KAVR, SIVR, HNVR, IPVR and MDVR releases. That's it.
