Since I fully immersed myself in JAV about 3 years ago, I've hardly looked back. I've deleted untold gigs of Western porn on hard drives to make space for JAV, and I don't regret any of it. In fact, I hardly ever watch Western porn anymore, and I used to love it, but now it's obvious it was because I just wasn't used to anything else. I think once you become used to the variety in JAV, Western porn just pales in comparison to virtually utter irrelevancy. There is also the very offensive phenomenon in Western porn of recasting anyone over 25 as a MILF, which is so disrespectful to female performers it almost makes me hate the entire porn industry in America. Older females in JAV I feel are still very much respected and are afforded a wide variety of roles, which makes it so they're not defined by their age exclusively. The other thing about JAV that I wholeheartedly prefer over WP is that it isn't completely dominated by obnoxiously extroverted Americans for whom sex on screen automatically equates to performative sport fucking. The fact that more introverted performers like JULIA and Nao Jinguji are present and their strengths are actually played to and they're just allowed to progress pretty much at their own pace makes JAV infinitely more attractive to someone like myself who are turned off by people who perpetually suck the oxygen out of the room with their over the top need for attention. JAV seems to be pretty inclusive in general and the fact that transgender performers are given the opportunity to become stars in the "mainstream" by studios like DAS is definitely a big plus. Perhaps the biggest thing for me in JAV's favor is that almost every release feels special in some way. Even though we are all aware that the plots are recycled for years and years on end, you just know each actress is gonna bring their unique flavor to it when it's their turn, so it never becomes too stale.

Oppaira's Best & Worst Actresses of 2020I think you can pretty much tell when someone is enjoying themselves, and it usually means they're fully present in the moment. If you seem the eyes drifting for even a split second, or a reaction that doesn't seem connected with what they're doing, or a reaction you've seen replicated many times before, but not necessarily in the same context, it usually means that mentally they're not fully there. Not to come across too crude, but I think it's almost impossible to fake an entire emotional register when there's a cock inside of you. If the woman really doesn't wanna be there, you can usually tell by a degree of strain on their part to sell some semblance of positive emotion. There are some good actresses in JAV - for JAV - but these are not professional actors. Even with the professional actors you can often tell when they're not fully invested in a role. There's a difference between faking emotion and actualizing a character. If the emotion isn't authentic, meaning it isn't coming from the trial and error process of them having pieced together the character mentally and emotionally, you can often tell - even with great actors. Some JAV performers do have acting backgrounds, but even they were unlikely longtime professional actors that honed their craft in a competitive environment for years and years. In short, if a performer like Akari looks like she's enjoying herself, it's quite reasonable to assume that she actually is. I've on occasion seen even a natural born performer like Yuma Asami's eyes gloss over - that's closer to the end of her career when she probably was more concerned with her health and likely uncomfortable with some of the more hardcore stuff she was doing, like bukkake's - so I think one can "definitely tell" when they're in the moment, and when they're not.

Oppaira's Best & Worst Actresses of 2020Fair enough on all accounts. It's all subjective, of course, but as long as you can articulate your argument eloquently and respectfully - which you do - it's always fun to read different perspectives. I love her eyes again, but then I also agree with you that her ass is maybe not Top 10, but probably Top 20, I would say. It's her sum total put together that makes me feel she's the most "complete" JAV performer out there at the moment.Anyways, thanks for the reply and for the fun convo. Always enjoy reading your work and comments. Keep up the great work.
For me Akari Mitani has perhaps THE best body out of anyone currently active in JAV. Everything about it borders on perfection. I know her breasts might be a tad small for some, but it's perfectly shaped and fits her body to a tee. Her legs are wonderfully long and contoured, her feet and hands are charmingly cute and feminine, her ass is of course rightly celebrated by most JAV fans and her skin is flawless and appears as if illuminated from within. Perhaps the thing I appreciate the most about her is that it appears she hasn't had any work done, whereas we know how many actresses have had "touch ups". She is of course a magnificent and versatile performer on top of it all, but for some reason she always seems to be underappreciated. Perhaps the thing holding her back as is pointed out in this piece is her face, which people seem to be mixed on, but that's odd since she's pretty close to being objectively striking, not to mention she has many cute expressions. I think it might have something to do with her teeth being slightly crooked, which imbues her smile with a slight goofiness, but I've always found that to be oddly charming and unique. I certainly hope she never feels the need to change it.Perhaps people and the author can explain to me what it is they don't like about Akari's face.
Pretty sure Yuma Asami is 158cm tall, gleaned from multiple sources, which puts her at about average height for a female. But I get that maybe you just wanted to wax lyrical about Yuma, so all is forgiven, although not forgotten. To atone, please do a Yuma Asami Top 10 list and tribute.Your write-ups are great by, the way. Not kidding about the Yuma list, though LOL.
