!! UPDATE 04/27/2018 !!
So uh... Hi there everyone. How's the weather been?
Yeah, i've always been bad at stuff like this. So finally I've decided to give u beautiful guys and girls and update about the project called "Lesbian JAV Reviews." Why now?
Well earlier I searched the web for a title that i forgot the name of. And I remember that there were some awesome guys at 4chan that talked about "Lesbian JAV Reviews" in the past. Couple guys / girls that linked us and I remember that they posted the cover for the title that I was looking for.
As it turns out, I found posts from 2 weeks ago! Some people are still buzzing about it!

Another post:
"Savajex used to write amazing reviews, once she left the site it went downhill."
"I suspect she found a gf and dumped porn. I liked the main guy's reviews ok. The site was best as just pointing out details of stories, and had a nice guide to Japanese used in porn. Their list of 10s is very good, from what I've watched. Also it was just nice to have a place for kindred spirits on the net.
There was some talk of r-18 hiring the owner, but nothing seems to have happened as of yet.
also of interest- the owner's akiba thread:

This honestly brought a smile to my face. So i felt that i finally have to give u guys a little update about Lesbian JAV Reviews.
As of now, the project is dead. Big shocker, i know. Why is that? Well u are probably well aware that we had to change our home about 4 times throughout the years. We started off at blogger, blogger didn't accept blogs about sex anymore and there were also some DMCA bullshit claims, so we got taken down there... even though there are still blogger pages with sexual stuff, but regardless.
We went to another hoster, but had to abandon ship because some dipshit hotlinked some screencaps that we always provided on his xhamster profile. The admin of the hosting services contacted us (we were the most visited page on his hosting service, afaik) and told us that he's gonna have to shut us down, because he doesn't want to buy more bandwith just because of our page.
We jumped ship again to another hoster, that we didn't like, because people weren't able to post comments.
The last hosting service was xobler. Everything seemed fine and dandy over there. People were commenting, we had a guestbook, we posted reviews, appreciation months, (those appreciation months... damn they were a lot of work, i can tell u that) lesbian jav databases, u name it.
Now u can imagine. After AAALL that work that we put into the xobler page. All the reviews, databases, etc. u can imagine how hype we would've been if we would get taken down again, right?
Well. Xobler went down. For about a month.
I hit up the guy or team that was in charge for xobler. No response. Eventually, we realized they were doing maintenance. Okay. After about a month xobler was back up and after about a week our page was up, as well. There was only one problem: I couldn't log in anymore. I'm not sure if it was a bug or not. I tried hitting up the team with an e-mail again. And just as before; no answer. We probably would've been able to find a way to deal with this issue, however there was another problem: savajex just disappeared. To this day I have no idea where she is. She left without a good bye, no update, no comment, nothing.
During this, our last guy, JTM also dropped in a similar fassion. He basically stated that all the jumping through different hosters just to get shut down again is tiring. Due to that he lost interest and disappeared as well.
And that leaves just... well... me. It started with me and apparently it also ended with me.
Which is kinda sad, because we really had an impact in the JAV scene. We were the #1 people to talk to, when it comes to Lesbian JAV's. People were craving reviews and were really happy that there is a whole page dedicated to Lesbian JAV's and that they were able to share their thoughts and comments with likeminded individuals.
Not only that, we were also friends with "Byakko" a lesbian jav director. Yes! We had ties with a director! She was so happy with our reviews, that she actually turned my dream into a reality.
She directed VRXS-140 starring Rei Mizuna. This movie has one of the best storylines ever (which we were always saying, we are big fans of) and the first sex scene in the movie had what? A sex scene with dim lightning, which is something that I always pointed out, that sex scenes with dim lightning enhance the scene, it gives it a little more spice. And she actually put that in for us. That is crazy. She also linked us on her page to our blog and vice-versa.
Anyways, I checked on xobler a couple weeks after everyone left and found out that xobler apparently is infested with some kind of spyware of malware. Not exactly sure, but chrome won't let me access it, which explains the little updated signature of mine.
Overall i wouldn't have had a problem with me going solo again, because, as I've stated, that's how the blog started off, after all. But, real life happened.
Basically I didn't and still don't have as much free time as I used to, so I had to make a decision:
Keep writing reviews, maintaining my youtube channel, keep producing music.
The latter 2 were more enticing to me. And less frustrating, because, again, the possibilty of constantly getting taken down and re-uploading every single review and database entry and eventually updating all screencaps is not fun in the long run.
There were talks with r18. R18 offered us the possibility to move Lesbian JAV Reviews to their site. I talked with them, but after I didn't reply for. Well, 3 years now, it's obvious how I decided to go with it. As I've said, I decided to focus on my 2 other projects.
Also, there were some restraints on R18. We couldn't post our own screenshots, only the ones available on R18 / dmm respectively. But there also would've been some upsites, more views, maybe some collabo's with special offers on R18's site. Who knows where we could've gone?
But again, as I've stated, JTM and savajex left, I have way less free time and thus, Lesbian JAV Reviews sadly took it's final ride.
Now i want to adress some of the stuff on 4chan again:
First of, thanks the guys and girls who shared us there - much appreciated, u guys are awesome!
"I suspect she found a gf and dumped porn."
I really hope that is the case. As I've said, I can't say anything about it, since she just disappeared, but I wish just the best for her.
"I liked the main guy's reviews ok."
I guess I take that as a compliment. Don't get too flattering now *lol*
"The site was best as just pointing out details of stories, and had a nice guide to Japanese used in porn. Their list of 10s is very good, from what I've watched. Also it was just nice to have a place for kindred spirits on the net.
There was some talk of r-18 hiring the owner, but nothing seems to have happened as of yet.
also of interest- the owner's akiba thread:

Yeah, I think I've stated everything so far.
So if any of u guys have any questions regarding Lesbian JAV Reviews or me, feel free to ask 'em.
Well there is probably gonna be one burning question: Am I still as high on Lesbian JAV's as I was back during the glorious Lesbian JAV Reviews days?
Hell yeah. Nothing has changed there. I'm still emassening my collection over here, constantly on the lookout for the latest Maki Hojo, レズレ!, Azusa Kirihara, (who also seems to have disappeared) u name it, titles. And yes, FA-Noob is still a horrible company that should make way for a studio that knows what the term "Lesbian" means. And yes, I still despise hetero titles. That part hasn't changed over the past years.
Another burning question is probably: Is this really it for Lesbian JAV Reviews?
Well. Never say never. As of now, I really don't want to go through the hassle to re-upload all the content again. Though; i still have all of my reviews, all of savajex' reviews, all of JTM's reviews, all of the screencaps and all of the database entries. So there is that.
TL;DR: As of now, I wouldn't count on a comeback of Lesbian JAV Reviews. But never say never. If R18 is still around and interested, maybe we can figure something out. If any of you guys want to join in on reviewing some titles, maybe we can revive it?
If not, I'll drop a post in here whenever I spot something interesting, like a new Maki Hojo drop or something as enticing as that. And again, if u happen to have any questions, let me know.
And btw, I have a new #1 lesbian scene. Make sure u guys get a copy of "FSET-334."
We definitely reviewed this in one December appreciation month. Scene 1 is down-right legit because of Uta Kohaku (who sadly retired) and Haruki Satou (who also disappeared... I kinda notice a pattern with some of my favorite actresses) but SCENE #3. Scene #3 guys. Mark my words. Scene #3 is easily one of the, or in my opinion, the absolute best lesbian jav scene ever. No doubt about it. Quote me on that.
With that being said, I hear from u guys later.
Edit: Please remind me never to click on "show ignored posts" ever again. Freaking disgusting
