FC’s Monthly JAV Watch: July 2024 – Yua Mikami, Nagi Hikaru, and Rena Miyashita
Drive Me Crazy
First on the July Watch list is no watch but a video game. A curious game popped up on Steam called Drive Me Crazy and caught my eye with Yua Mikami being advertised. A Chinese game which came out last month and was done by Studio wwqk and published by Tenth Art Studio. It stars Yua Mikami and a host of Chinese models. An FMV style that uses live action clips to play out the game. It has user choices, mini games, and relationship building. You play a man who is engaged to Yua but has lost his ring after a hazy night out. Now he must revisit some of his old girlfriends to find it while seeing if his heart still belongs to his fiancé or not.
This is flat out not a good game and arguably barely counts as a game either. Very simplistic minigames, limited choices, quite a few subtitle errors, and worst of all the “steamy” scenes are very chaste. It caught my eye with Yua and the FMV style gameplay which is rare nowadays. Curiously there is another game of this exact style coming out later starring Saika Kawakita and Ai Uehara. While Drive Me Crazy might look better than most JAV themed shovelware games this is a low bar. SKIP

I'm a 29-year-old married woman. At the convenience store where I work part-time, a college student who likes butts fell in love with me
This bitch is in the heat right now!?
Starring: Aya Sazanami aka Aya Onami
Now for the actual videos and we start with a pair from an old name with Aya Sazanami now going as Aya Onami. Aya was a name and ass that I was aware of but I missed her career. She’s back now and in a great way. Jumping back into JAV with loads of titles already in the year. Seeing her in action today and she still looks great; cute, pretty, and a seasoned pro in action. But the real meat of Aya’s return has to be her meaty ass. Wow. It is flat out amazing. I don’t know what voodoo she did to get that ass and I don’t want to know. Amazing for her size. I’ll let these clips speak for themselves.
Aya has quite a few videos out this year with last month coming in with a pair of good smut. First is a high quality convenience store drama by Hot Entertainment. A really well done video that shows that Aya’s acting is just as solid as her ass. Meanwhile, the other title is a gonzo video by Crystal Eizo with her visiting men to have sex. Aya looks great but this is a more low budget low frills video. It gets a mention thanks to a fantastic final scene. A wild sex romp with a terrific performance by Aya as her ass gets used up to its level. It’s early days but Aya’s comeback has been great. How glad I am that she and her ass are back. For Aya she gets a MUST WATCH rating.
SONE-248
K-cup secretary gets licked and fucked by her slug-like boss until she cums
Starring: Hikaru Nagi aka Aka Asuka
Tags: Big Boobs, OL, Hate Sex
Speaking of ridiculous good looking body parts. There is Hikaru Nagi who made a pretty bold move by upgrading her already massive chest. Turning her natural low hangers into gigantic bazooms with breast implants. This has been a pretty divisive move; porn fans are infamously against plastic surgery changes to their faves. At least there’s usually a loud contingent of them. In this case, I think it’s great and suits her well. Hikaru’s had big breasts that looked deflated and floppy and her new implants take full advantage of all that unused space. It’s also not the first time she’s had major work done as her new face shows. Feel free to chime in below with your thoughts. I know some fellow ZENRA writers are divided as well.
Now for the video itself. Hikaru plays an office lady whose repugnant boss has sex with her. An odd choice to have her new tits debut in this hate sex video. This is a nice looking video from the lighting and camera work to our beautiful model. Hikaru is fantastic eye candy as always and her new tits make for new mountains to see. But that’s where the problem is. She’s hot and has a great body but is pretty meh in bed. Going through the motions for the most part and with a hate sex title you’d expect some fun disgusted expressions on her face. Not bad but not good. Hikaru might have new hardware but it’s the same software running the same performance. Mostly worth checking out for her new cannons. CHECK
MIDV-791
"I've already ejaculated!" Even in this state, the mean Onee-san who is sweaty and clingy to you is a slut
Starring: Rena Miyashita
Tags: Sweat, Pantyhose, OL, Legs
We saw big and busty eye candy now it’s eye candy for the petite and slim fans with Rena Miyashita. She’s had a great year career wise and has turned into a star at Moodyz with a good fan base. Growing more and more into her beauty, Rena is looks first through and through. It’s turned her into a darling in the Gravure and modeling side of things. Our video shows off that beauty and her slim assets in this legs heavy video. A moodily lit video about her seducing a man around the house while showing off her thin legs in miniskirts and tight pantyhose.
Like Hikaru, Rena falls short as just pretty eye candy with a so-so performance. She looks fantastic here with the Office Lady-like outfits and the focus on her legs is real nice. Not only that her seduction is better than I’ve seen before. Getting pretty good are enticing men with her slow hand jobs, seductive body movements, and a surprisingly good foot job. However, when we get into the sex she becomes more stiff and wooden. It’s a shame she hasn’t improved there much. Rena is beautiful to look in and she does a good job in the lead up but falls short when the sex really gets going. Like with Hikaru this is kind of a mixed bag with good parts and disappointing parts. But there is more good than bad and it’s hard to deny Rena’s visuals and for her releases this is a better one.

MIAB-259
Clinic where a slutty doctor examines erectile dysfunction patients with dirty talk, kneading their nipples with her beautiful legs, and helps them improve their erections by ejaculating 20 times.
Starring: Hinako Mori
Tags: Doctor, Pantyhose, Lingerie, Leg
More pantyhose visuals with Doctor Hinako Mori. This video is like Rena’s but a level higher. More leg focus, more lingerie and pantyhose fun, and better performing from a seasoned pro. The opening glamour clip speaks louder than I can. I do have to say something felt off about the video. Either it was the audio or something but Hinako sounded very quiet and subdued at times like she was oof her game. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Either way, it’s a decent performance and she looks amazing in it. Fans of long legs covered in enticing lingerie will love what Hinako is sporting. WATCH
MVSD-600
She appears in the toilet! Her hobby is fellatio! The neighborhood's famous cleaning lady who gives quick blowjobs
Starring: Yuri Honma
Tags: Cleaning Lady, Bathroom, Blowjobs
Yuri Honma springs into the wash closet in this cleaning lady video. I haven’t seen too much of Yuri since the pandemic when she exploded in popularity. Unfortunately, since then she’s scaled back her work and mainly doing videos with small timers. This video with M's Video Group has her playing a slutty cleaning lady who gives blowjobs rather than doing her job. Let me start by saying bathrooms are not sexy. Urinals and toilets are not erotic no matter how hard this video tries to make them out to be. It can be fun and hot to see people sneaking around in a toilet and having sex in public but the setting itself is thoroughly unerotic.
I’m not sure what rating to give this video. On one hand, Yuri gives a great slutty performance which she does well at. The video does what it sets out to make; a gonzo-style video in a bathroom with erotic lingerie. Most of my issues come from a preference standpoint. I dislike gonzo and it’s close zooming angles and harsh lighting. And bathrooms are, I repeat, NOT sexy. It does what it sets out to be and does it well but the theme and style are just not for me at all to the point of being off-putting. CHECK
SONE-264
When I was reincarnated, I was the protagonist of a cuckold adult video! Change the future of NTR and save Yura. The goal is a lovey-dovey, intense sex ending.
Starring: Yura Kano
Tags: NTR, Drama, Schoolgirl
The long time S1 star Yura Kano is bowing out this year but not before releasing more JAV gems. The youthful pale cutie with her mid-sized figure has thrilled fans with those and her terrific performance which this video highlights. Her video is a creative NTR loop plot that has her stretching her acting talents. A bit of setup. A man watches her videos only to find himself inside an AV plot. What he thinks is a dream come true becomes a nightmare as he has to see her fuck another guy over and over. Our video sees him try to change the movie’s plot and have sex with Yura only to fail again and again until he finds sweet success.
This is a really fun meta take on the NTR theme and creative use of well-worn porn plots. Not only that we get to see Yura play multiple roles in one movie from the dominated schoolgirl, to the passionate lover, to the nasty slut. The NTR part comes in heavily with the poor man being present in watching all of her sex scenes. Sometimes watching in the room, sometimes as a peeping head, and sometimes giving us his POV angle with Yura looking right at him. Good use of adding to the NTR theme. A nice solid video to add to her considerable career catalog. WATCH
JUQ-758
Aya Ueha's long-awaited lesbian debut!! My best friend, Aya, who I've always loved, has started working at a lesbian service.
Starring: Aya Ueha and Yuka Oshima
Tags: Lesbian, Milf
We follow up with Aya Ueha’s terrific lesbian unbanning. She welcomes the clit with Yuka Oshima for this Madonna inter studio team up. Yuka steals the show as Aya’s best friend who hates Aya’s husband and is madly in love with her. She finally finds her chance inside Aya’s pants when she finds out what Aya has been doing to support her no-good husband. That starts an affair between the two old friends as they sneak around her husband. A Nao Masaki joint that lives up to the director’s stellar reputation.
Aya was great in her first lesbian title but Yuka shined the brightest. Not that there was anything wrong with Aya she was just outshined by Yuka’s love-crazed performance. Playing a great dom to Aya’s sub; her love/obsession came in strong in her acting and in bed lovemaking. Acting that comes into play at the climax of the film. The final scene and the highlight have Aya and Yuka at odds with their new relationship on the rocks as they navigate her marriage. It erupts into an incredible passionate lovemaking scene.
Yuka and Aya naked on tatami mats as they greedily and lovingly make love to each other’s bodies. Their beautiful oiled-up bodies shining from the lighting. Both Yuka and Aya are terrific as the two are on more equal ground. Seeing Aya bend over Yuka as she furiously fingers her from behind as the best look of satisfaction washes over Yuka’s face. A messy, passionate, and fantastic finish to a great movie. One of the best lesbian videos of the year and an easy recommendation. MUST WATCH
SONE-229
A tight dress saleswoman unconsciously makes you erect by showing off her body line.
Starring: Konan Koyoi
Tags: Sweater Dresses
Konan Koyoi has her first certified banger of the year. Our title shows off Konan in long sweater dresses that drape her curvy figure nicely. A typical plot that has her playing a saleswoman whose body is too hard to resist for the men who see it. Uninspired plots but the movie is well made, the outfits well suited, and Konan gives a performance that fits her well-deserved star status.
Three years on she’s become a pro at using not just her fine body but beautiful face at driving men wild in bed. What Hikaru and Rena where lacking, Konan has. You see it during a playful over the clothes paizuri or during a confidant make out and jerk session. Konan shows to power of having it going on in all three areas. If I had one complaint about the video it was that the dresses could’ve been tighter. Give her those outfits in a smaller size and it would’ve been heaven to see. WATCH
START-111
In the 8 hours between dropping off at daycare and picking him up, this insatiable wife is having an affair with her eldest's soccer club coach.
Starring: Rei Kamiki
Tags: Cheating Wife, Passionate Affair
We close out with another contemporary star SOD’s Rei Kamiki whose star keeps rising up and up. Like Konan she’s got it all; looks, body, and performing. Our video is also pretty cookie-cutter and has her playing a housewife whose wholesome life takes a turn when she starts an affair with a soccer club coach. The video jumped out to me thanks to Rei’s solid acting and phenomenally passionate performance. Her steamy affair comes across so well thanks to her bedroom exploits. It’s nice to see how much she’s progressed since debuting and it’s not like she was a weak performer at the start anyway. A strong contender for my Best Videos of the Year. MUST WATCH
Other Notable Titles of the Month
Outside of these last month also saw the release of Hon Naka’s sequel to their orgy special in HNDS-078. With a jam-packed cast this off-shoot moves from the summer orgy into another summer theme with haunted houses. An odd choice and even odder is Akari Mitani’s erasure from the video. However, if the idea of Blair Witch meets JAV intrigues you then look it up for found footage thrills. Meanwhile, a new series is taking shape with Madonna in JUQ-783. This entry stars Kana Mito as she and her husband take part in this NTR club that has her fucking strange men. Added fun is the uncredited Chiharu Nogi who gets it on with Kana’s husband.
Then we have Miki Yamase in YOCH-012. A rare quality video from the long-time but small-time actress. She’s at her mature element as this NEET caring Milf. Finally, we have Yuri Adachi in SONE-316. Where an older man teaches the haughty Yuri a lesson she won’t soon forget. What a shame that she’s retiring soon. Yuri was looking so promising and had some great releases already in her short career.
