We continue our January new releases with part 2 of S1’s 20^th anniversary. There are rumblings that there are more parts to come out so sit back and get settled in for more of their massive cast together. Sitting back should be easy to do in this Harem POV follow-up. The second title focuses on the smaller groups seen in the first title, so no massive orgy and some of the scenes don’t even include full sex with just blowjobs or other foreplay.

It's their second time out together and you can start to see teams grow in chemistry and familiarity. The team of Miru, Kokoro Asano, Riri Nanatsumori, and Marin Mita had the best chemistry in their short blowjob scene. Meanwhile, Miyu Kiyohara stole the show in her group scene with her bubbly and playful attitude. And while the busty trio at the end were a bit stilted as a group, I found their chests made up for it with their heavenly pillowy breasts.

There are some downsides like awkward moments between actresses, the lack of full sex and orgies or that again Saika Kawakita performs her scenes on her own. Honestly, it’s just a jarring decision and you have to wonder if she shouldn’t have skipped this project in the first place if she was uncomfortable with performing in front of other women. Overall this feels like a nice assortment mix that works as a teaser for the studio as a whole. It won’t blow you away but it’s nice to see the team mixes if you are a big S1 fan and you might find a new actress to follow. CHECK

Next is a banger by Riho Shishido. The former Moodyz exclusive has gone freelance and I am here for it all. A pale bodied cutie with a soft and pudgy figure that gives you a nice bit of tits, ass, and jiggles but even better than her figure and looks is her performing. Riho is one of the best performing actresses to come out in the last few years. A passionate minx who acts well and likes to go hard in the bedroom.

She shows off that fine performing in this fantasy drama about a man who gets his hands on a special app that lets him turn Riho into his personal sex plaything. Her transformations into cloying, willing, and slutty subs by scene were so hot to see. How desperate she was like in the maid scene to receive his pleasure and so thorough into offering her body up to him.

It’s also a bit on the rougher side with some deepthroating blowjobs and a surprising amount of spanking. Now that she’s freelancing, we might expect more of her fat booty getting handled as such. It’s a great title from a great performer that is working under the radar. Hopefully, her move to freelancing finally gets Riho the flowers she deserves. MUST WATCH

Speaking of career moves, Meguri Minoshima goes to…Madonna? The mature maker gobbles up another non-Milf for their mature roster. Meguri used to be with Prestige and sadly was not very popular. She can be a great performer who is a bit on the loud side with a decent ass. She comes back with a slimmer body (her poor ass) and a more mature look. It’s nice to see Meguri move towards a more mature image and she looks prettier than before in my opinion.

Now that she’s out of Prestige hopefully she doesn’t have to act like a shirking violet all the time. As her debut film with Madonna shows, she can get quite passionate, assertive, and is pretty skilled. Her varied hand jobs, tight blowjobs, and make out sessions were all so hot. All in all, it’s a pretty vanilla title with standard sex scenes and little gimmicks. Still, the plainness of it lets you focus on Meguri’s skill and she’s got some. A decent watch for those unfamiliar but interested in this underrated actress. WATCH

Sometimes I like to revisit actresses I know I’m not a fan of because some title catches my eye. Sometimes I see something new and my opinion might change and sometimes nothing changes. This is sadly true for Sakura Miura as she stars in this drama about a student who is fucked by an older man. A title that makes nice use of rain and outdoor settings during the daytime. Sadly, it falls short because of her acting and performance.

Sakura is so unconvincing in whatever she does. Be it in submissive roles, dom roles, or anything in between. Even when she’s acting for the scenes in between it’s so stilted and wooden. It’s a shame because she’s got a great body. Those tits of hers are incredible, some of the best in all of JAV. She qualifies for the adult side of AV actress but not so much for the actress side. SKIP

Now for a hotly anticipated team-up between Jun Kasui and Ichika Matsumoto in this AI-inspired title. Now it uses the AI in a way you wouldn’t expect. More of a theme where a man makes AI prompts to fulfill his fantasies about his hot classmates. We see a variety of student related scenarios where the two get into sexual hijinks. Jun appears in her first team-up title and does more than holds her own and outshined the more experienced Ichika a bit.

As duos go, they made for a nice pairing; cute and playful with each other. It was frustrating to see them flirting with girl-girl play with each other. Just so lightly and never going all into it which is a shame as both ladies weren’t exactly shy with each other. All in all it’s a good title with an unusual premise. I wasn’t all that high on it but that might be because I was so hyped up for it personally. Still, I can see that it’s a perfectly fine video with good performances by the pair as a whole and hopefully just the beginning of their team-ups. WATCH 

I don’t watch much of any amateur porn. I know why others are a fan of it for its more authentic and real vibe. However, I find it frustrating to find these hidden gems who might only do a few videos before dropping out. This might be the case for this title but like a moth to a flame, I can’t help myself. Koharu Miike is, supposedly, a housewife with BDSM-like tendencies. The former is unverifiable but we can confirm the latter in the video. 

A documentary style video with Koharu in an onsen where different men take her through her paces. And she can pace herself. This older woman is down for quite a bit of rough sex particularly deepthroating. Nice casual deepthroating and face fucking that doesn’t go too hard. There are good sub performances and bad ones. Koharu is firming in the former and seems very much about that life. Hopefully, I am wrong and this isn’t the last we see of Koharu because this Milf is a hidden gem. WATCH

Next is all about muscle babe lesbian goodness with Yuna Mitake and Ruisa Totsuki. It’s so nice seeing these two carve out a niche in JAV with how unpopular muscular women are. Sadly, it didn’t quite hit for me. The Gym focused video is sweaty, wet, and has two hot bodies going at it. It should be a homerun for me but I felt a bit whelmed. Maybe it was the messy action or that Yuna’s stiff face makes for odd expressions but I couldn’t get into it.

Still, I can’t quite fault it outside of that. It’s a well-made video with nice setting variety, good lighting, and passionately performed. It certainly was a visual delight watching these two hard bodies glistening wet and oiled as they intertwined. Of the two Ruisa took charge and was in control for much of the action. A role that she slid into well and thoroughly. If you like lesbians and hard muscular women then this is one of the rare chances you will get in JAV. WATCH

Ao Ebisaki starts her exclusivity with Fitch with a bang. Eat your heart out Idea Pocke because Ao made sure to fill this OL drama with 2 hours of everything that makes her one of the most promising new actresses of last year. In the video, Ao plays the boss who wants to get into the pants of her underling.  The setup is simple as can be and yet played to perfection.

Ao was firing on all cylinders. She was terrific as the horned-up boss who freely seduced her hapless coworker. Sexy acting while showing her confidence and assertiveness. In the bedroom, she was even better, so sensual and skillful. Using that tongue and mouth of hers to great effect to lick the lucky salaryman all over his chest to his dick and balls. Absolutely fantastic dick-sucking. Just terrific performances for every scene.

Ao is unlike most rookies and is clearly experienced in the matters of sex. On the physical side, this plastic-type babe sports a pair of firm titties and an ass that we get to see oiled up and ridden. I can’t keep going on how good this video was. An early banger to the year and coming from a relatively new name. I can’t believe IP dropped them but that might be what’s best for Ao in the long run. MUST WATCH

The bangers continue with the NTR Pool and Suzume Mino. The recent titles from her have been just so good that it’s totally unending my initial impression of her. This is what happens when you give an actress the right role. Suzume plays the role of a slutty wife who wants to cheat on her husband with her friend’s husband while the group is on vacation. Infidelity has never looked so appealing with Suzume playing the seductress.

The one thing that really struck me about this title was Suzume’s dirty mouth. She loved to get in close to the married man to whisper dirty pillow talk to him while nibbling and licking his ear and side. So seductively hot seeing Suzume’s lovely pair of full and glossy lips play dirty. I don’t fault the cheating husband for melting before her advancing lips. A great cheating video from Dahlia and Suzume and a hearty recommendation. MUST WATCH

We close out with one last hit with Monroe and Momoko Isshiki in this wrongful romance drama that lives up to the Milf fantasy and then some. Who doesn’t love the fantasy of a Milf taking in a younger man and showing him the pleasures that her experience can bring. This is what happens in this drama about a virgin man coming into a soapland and meeting his friend’s Milf. His longtime crush becomes a reality as she agrees to teach him the ways of the bedroom.

The sweetness that Momoko showed was what stuck with me. She plays the role with such tenderness, gentleness, and love. Especially in the beginning like the bathtub blowjob. She sucks him off but takes care not to let him bust his load too early. The almost innocent expression on her face was good enough to eat. This was a well-acted and well-made romance about fulfilling the key fantasy of Milfs for many younger men. MUST WATCH
