Oppaira's JAV Watchlist Review - January 2025 - Part 2

Hey guys, Oppaira here, back with the second half of reviews for the month. As I mentioned before, this month I decided not to pre-select 10 videos, instead selecting five and letting the other five come out naturally. I'm not necessarily sure I'll watch 10 each month but we'll see how it goes. For now, enjoy another batch of reviews!
IPZZ-460 - Marina Yakuno
The cosplay club at school is struggling to find new members, and from sheer luck they manage to recruit the cute, busty Marinachan. When she comes out in her reverse bunny suit all hell breaks loose as neither her nor the guys can hold back.
I don't know what it is about this series that makes me expect more than it delivers. I mean sure it has nice outfits on them but they're all reverse bunny ones and that's just a bit repetitive. School fair videos that mix it up end up being better usually, or so I find. That all being said I can't say the whole thing was a bust I mean, reverse bunny outfits are nice for a reason. And the video did give you that slight bit of plot you wanted to tie everything together. I think Marina was better once she opened up a bit later on in the video. The first scene had her being a bit lukewarm and she did honestly need to open up. I think she did but she also still somehow felt a bit mid. Lots of moaning and mediocre expressions, and you had to enjoy the moments that she bounced back a little more to help carry it. I will give them props for setting the mood with the decorations and all, though I could have done with some more natural lighting than all the spotlights we had. All said and done it's not a bad film but I'm not sure Marina has it in her yet to produce a banger film, she's just not that strong of a performer.

JUR-016 - Iyo Shinohara
Iyo Shinohara stars in her second film.
There's just something about Iyo that makes me want to watch her. Maybe that's her attractiveness, maybe it's her social media, or maybe it's me hoping that her lactation will come through the way some of the best have. They always seem to sideline her lactation as if she's more than that, but I think you need to embrace it. I think her lactation carves out such a nice niche for her that it would be worthwhile and just add a lot of depth to her. This video definitely did better on the lactation front but it was also not as good as lactation videos from years past that I'm used to. I was excited watching an extended makeout session just because she's good at it but I really want to see that kind of stuff during sex instead. They keep trying to push this sweet and spicy vibe where she's this passionate girl one minute and slutty the next. I get it but she's so much better at the passionate stuff that I always just feel a little bit let down when it's not. Maybe her squirting helps out the spicier part, which granted she can squirt and did a handful of times, but I think I just want more of it all from her to be honest. I'm sure she'll get there eventually but I think right now I really just need to see the right kind of video from her. I know Madonna will come through on that front eventually it's just waiting it out that sucks.

MIDV-980 - Nao Jinguji
Nao plays a cleaning lady for a lazy college student. What do you expect when two attractive people are alone in an apartment all day...
I actually liked this a fair bit despite, spoiler, that it wasn't a banger. The concept of a college student and a maid is decent enough, especially if that maid is as attractive as Nao is. Sure, you can put her in some plain clothes, but she still looks great and her ass will shine in anything. I did find the video failed to really escalate in the end, and while they seemingly became lovers it didn't quite feel like that. Or perhaps more so, the content felt repetitive. You can change the sheets on the bed but ultimately it was still the same bed they had sex on that was just too much of the same. I think what did turn out well, really well, was Nao. Nao does even-footing performances like this quite nicely, where she doesn't have to be completely submissive but isn't dominant by any stretch. A lot of great expressions and added intimacy, and of course a ton of fantastic action showing off her booty. It's not the slam dunk video that Nao can produce but as a fan I certainly enjoyed it.

SONE-536 - Yu Tano
Yu Tano finds herself in love with her teacher. One day she professes her love to him, and he's ensnared by the cute, charming, and of course busty student in front of him. Once he gets a glimpse of those tits he's putty in her hands.
Yu starring as a schoolgirl is the kind of thing I want to see from S1. They usually keep things very generic and I say you ought to find plot videos to suit them. How many of their bustiest could actually play a schoolgirl? Not to mention one that is actually in love with her teacher, which Yu did quite nicely. Like she was quite lovey dovey and I thought it was done rather well. I do think you saw some of S1 going back to generic territory because not only is a love hotel not where I would have taken this video (someone's bedroom would have been more intimate), I also think they lapsed on the theme a bit too much. You could still have her wear her uniform to try and get the theme to still come across. I felt like her orgasms held her back a little when they were so overwhelming that it looked fake. Powerful orgasms can be good except when they're back arching powerful every couple of minutes. That being said things were surprisingly good otherwise, a better performance than I thought she was capable of. Or maybe perhaps better worded as the performance I was hoping she could deliver since I did see some of this potential from the start. Not quite a banger level but not exactly Yu's fault, and maybe with a proper schoolgirl video she might actually produce one.

SONE-548 - Momoka Kagura
Momoka Kagura teams up with director Samoari to have some fun on the town.
There's just something about actresses with boobs larger than life that get me going, especially if they work for major studios. Then again, it's not like Samoari's content for S1 is any different from Madonna or IP or any other studio. Then again, Momoka has too many generic videos I shy away from, and perhaps working with Samoari would help her blossom. I'd say that it honestly did not. Yeah, there were a few moments like when she was grabbing her boobs while riding, and of course paizuri (which is basically a free pass for her), plus don't forget her body is just impeccable. But so much of the actual action was quite mediocre, even down to her performance not really standing up. That's on top of Samoari doing his usual thing of awkward camera angles. I will grant him that Momoka's body stands up to his camera angles better than any actress I can think of but if you're going to oil her up and then shine a light so concentrated on her tits that it distracts you from the best part... might make me think he's not a fan of huge tits. It really wasn't a great film and I wouldn't recommend it, Momoka still needs more time to blossom before something like this can work out for her.

Oddly enough I found this to be almost a bit therapeutic. I tend to be someone very mood driven in my watching so having to watch the 10 videos I selected was always a bit of a chore for me. Given that I'm posting these with just five reviews anyway, posting the watchlist with just five entries seems to track as well. Again, maybe some months I won't watch 10 and will instead watch some of my retired favourites or something, but we'll just take it one month at a time. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these reviews. Until next time!
