Oppaira's JAV Watchlist Review - December 2024 - Part 1
Welcome to the first half of my November Watchlist reviews. Let's go see how this month's selections turned out!
EBWH-184 - Ruka Inaba
Ruka Inaba is a tutor who has some unusual methods to get her student to study when he's a bit distracted.
Tutor videos are notorious for being a bit hit or miss because you need the right blend of things, which this video did not have. It tried to have this theme of Ruka being naughty, going to town on the guy who couldn't keep his leering eyes to himself. That's fine and dandy but you need an actress who can perform at the level this video demands on top of the spicy content. Take him for a ride to pleasure town, squirt in his face, make the content risky. There were bits and pieces of it but generally it felt like it was lacking. Ruka making him wear her panties on his head was the spiciest part and while it was nice I really felt like I needed more. It's a good thing she has a fantastic body because it carried the film a fair bit, and I think maybe a softer theme would have suited her better.

JUNY-138 - Shiori Tsukada
Shiori Tsukada plays a teacher who loves to mess around with her students any way she can.
I find most Shiori videos have a similar pattern: a plot you wish was a little better, a performance you wish was a lot better, and a video you can't help but guilty pleasure enjoy because of how incredible Shiori is physically. The concept was strange with her in these skimpy, tight-fitting outfits as a teacher. Watching her flip up her top or hike up her skirt to reveal something scandalous underneath, or get busy in a love hotel, it was not really vibing with the teacher theme. On the flip side, well, holy fuck did she look incredible. As much as I bemoan that it seems wrong for a teacher video to do something so unrealistic, I begrudge that if there's any actress to do it with, it's Shiori. You couldn't help but stare at her tits or ass the entire time and just be happy about it, and the video did a fantastic job with the lighting and camera angles to give you your fill. The action was still nice at times because of it, whether she was giving paizuri (which she's actually good at) or just watching her ass or tits. Yes, I would have loved a performance with a bit more from her. Less moaning, more kissing (which was nice when it happened), and just keep it together a little more. Or maybe just develop some sort of ahegao type of performance that can work. Either way the performance felt weak and Shiori fans like myself have come to expect this. But honestly, I think you just accept that she's physically blessed and run with it, and if you're like most Shiori fans enjoying her body, this is as good as any.

JUR-007 - Rena Fukiishi
The hot MILF next door is not just hot, she's sexually active like you wouldn't believe. Every day she's having sex with her husband and moaning so loudly the neighbour hears. It becomes a problem for him and he burns through his box of tissues. Thankfully for him, a lucky series of events has him getting his every wish: to make love to her.
I felt very lukewarm about the video. While it had a nice bit of yoga in a great outfit, that was only a small portion of the actual video. It seemingly was divided among what it was supposed to be, whether a workout themed video, Rena cheating on her husband, or the guy next door dealing with his neighbours going at it non-stop. I think that melding too many ideas was bad in that any of them could have stood on their own. I've seen various flavours of all of these things that are actually better individually. Rena herself was somewhat mixed and a bit too generic for my tastes. Sure, I could enjoy her kissing or her paizuri when they happened but just generally it was a bit too much of a flat performance with a lot of moaning (even if I don't mind her moaning). I had higher hopes for this and I guess the end is just me being a bit disappointed but happy to see more Rena because she's an all-time favourite of mine.

JUR-120 - Kana Kusakabe
A guy is visiting his AIL Kana who is hot as hell. While she helps him with his studies, it's impossible for him to ignore her huge chest, especially in the summer heat. When she realizes it's distracting him from his studies it becomes time to give him an extra special lesson.
This series is always a treat, and even when it's not perfect it's still great. Kana herself, while certainly not as good as some others, was still fairly enjoyable. Leading the action, fun positions, and a level of passion that was fairly enjoyable. The lighting from an overcast day through the paper doors was fantastic and kept things well-lit the entire time. The camera angles were a bit hit or miss as they were a bit too zoomed in and awkward during transitions, and Kana's "sweat" was a little too watery for my preferences, but those were only small issues. The narrative itself had enough going on to keep you interested, and the video giving three lengthy sex scenes really came together nicely. This is one of those series where you might as well watch every time a favourite of yours does it because it's bound to be a great film, and I can only hope a few others I enjoy get the opportunity to star in it.
Certified Banger: ✔️
WAWA-030 - Maria Yumeno
Maria plays a teacher that gives the best sex ed lessons.
The good is that it was a teacher film. The other good is that Maria herself was not half bad, giving some solid paizuri and being upbeat enough with dialogue to avoid it feeling submissive. The bad? Well, more or less everything else. The teacher film had a plot too on the nose where she just fucked students in class. Fucking one in front of everyone and trying to make them not stop and stare just felt wrong at every level. I generally found the action to be quite underwhelming as well, especially in the gangbang when the students were playing with her tits in ways that made them not bounce and jiggle as nicely. At some level her tits are just so big that you'll enjoy them either way but I was quite underwhelmed.
Certified Banger: ❌
I hope you've enjoyed these reviews and hope to see you again for the second half. Until next time!
