Oppaira's Top 25 JAV Videos of 2023 - Part 1 (Videos 25-11)
Welcome to the first half of my top videos from 2023. I know I haven't been posting as many individual reviews this past year (come to think of it, I don't even remember if I posted any), but hopefully things will be better moving forward. As you may have seen, I have a new pair of series going on. The first one is my watchlist where I list out 10 videos I am excited to watch next month and then I have a follow up one where I where I post reviews of all those videos. Hopefully this is a better medium for it going forward. I've also got some cool new clips shared in this post about how I present my reviews so hopefully that will also be a nice way of presenting the highlights of the videos. With that all out of the way let's hop in to my top 25 starting with the first 15 on the list.
25. SSIS-952 - Konan Koyoi
Konan and her stepbrother used to be very close but they haven't seen each other in many years. When he comes from the countryside for a visit things are just like old times with their old playful relationship coming out. However, not everything is like old times as Konan has grown into a beautiful, busty women. When he notices her incredible boobs he can't help but get erect, and when Konan finds out she decides that their relationship is going to change.
Konan is an actress you love to love and her loving personality in this one shone through. She was infectious showing her kindness to her stepbrother and the whole thing felt pretty wholesome throughout. The video had some twists and turns to it that you didn't really expect but it didn't significantly change how the video played out. You were instead left with Konan not being too whiny and really showing some genuine enthusiasm at times. Aside from Konan being delightful the action was pretty great as well. Lots of good sex bits or foreplay without too much fluff throughout the film, and bumping it up to just under 2.5 hours helped offset the downtime you did get. Who is going to complain about a POV blowjob/paizuri or three sex scenes? Not me, that's for sure! Konan is always an actress so close to being amazing but honestly she hits the mark more often than not and the result is being in the top 25 instead of the top 10.
24. GVH-590 - Akari Niimura
Kazuya is a student studying for his admission exams and is having trouble with tutors. He's a horny dude who can't help but spend all his time masturbating instead of studying, and none of the tutors seem to work out. That's when the legendary Mrs. Niimura shows up who offers a different style of tutoring. She offers him "candy" (aka herself) as a reward, and reward him she does.
For me tutors plots are the kind that can be amazing but just as easily be mediocre. Akari Niimura, however, is anything but mediocre, and giving her a non-submissive role as the tutor meant I came into it expecting great things. Let's be real, Akari is great at more dominant films and dominant tutor is a spin you hardly ever see. It's almost always the tutor being kind and gentle, praising the student for doing well and offering herself up as the reward. The trope here was always that Akari knows the best way to encourage her students is to proactively use her body so she pulls out all the stops as soon as they're fantasizing about her (and if you have Akari as a tutor it takes all of five seconds before that happens). The more dominant style wasn't just with the way she performed (which was fairly good, by the way) but also the manner in which content took place. Here's the guy tied up a bit for fun or here's Akari squirting on his work as she's masturbating on his desk. It was honestly so refreshing seeing her take that sort of style that tutor videos just don't do. Like what kind of self-respecting tutor is going to have her juices all over the guy's desk while he's legitimately studying? It's the kind of thing that feels so wrong yet feels so right at the same time. When you add in Akari deepthroating or going wild in various ways during the action it was hard not to love it.
23. SSIS-658 - Mahina Amane
Mahina teams up with director Nao Masaki to visit the homes of some submissive men and give them a fun time.
Homestyle visits like this really require a certain kind of style to work so of course director Nao Masaki would find a way. For starters she managed to create some interesting content, having sex all across the apartments or even better, have a strong dominant theme in the final scene where she had a collar on the guy. If you've never seen an actress tugging at the leash of the guy to fuck her better, it's insanely hot. That's also partially to blame for a great performance from Mahina as it created some great opportunities for her to be a bit more dominant. She seemed to gel with the content quite nicely and be dominant at parts and submissive at other parts in this perfect blend. I find these videos awkward half the time because on the one hand you want to make the guy feel like he's good at sex but on the other hand I expect the actress to be so much better than him (because she's a professional) so she should be more upbeat and dictating the pace. Seeing Mahina walk that fine line with ease was spectacular and such a big reason this video was worthy of a top spot.
22. JUQ-279 - Maki Hojo
Your wife find out that you're cheating and tells her stepmom Maki Hojo all about it. Maki then confronts you about it and decides that you're never going to cheat again because she's gonna drain you herself. That takes us down a path where Maki is constantly sucking you off and having sex with you.
The plot was absurd and yet totally fun and hot. Maki finds out her SIL is cheating so she decides to punish him by fucking him? Yeah, only porn would think that is the right punishment for the crime. And yet, it was insanely hot watching her have her way with him. I think what tied it together was how good Maki was at being dominant throughout the video. She drove the plot the entire time having hot handjobs, fun in the shower, or getting him to nut inside her. The way she would shove her pussy in his face and make him eat her out, the way she would stop tugging right before he nut, it was all awesome. Especially with how it all tied in with the narrative, poor fellow felt so much guilt he could only just accept his punishment.
21. IPZZ-094 - Himeka Iori
Himeka plays your girlfriend and she really loves giving you head. She'll suck you off wherever she can or let you have sex just for you to drop a load in her mouth for her to have a taste.
If I look back at the video the first thing I notice is how enjoyable the variety was. Lots of scenes in the video, nine in total, over a video a little over 2.5 hours with the average being under 20 minutes. Yeah you got a lot of quick blowjobs or paizuri here and there but it was quite enjoyable to be honest, especially with how it made the pacing feel good managing intercourse and non-intercourse scenes throughout. Sometimes videos have too much of a tendency to be the same bland thing repeated but getting stuff like office sex, a nurse cosplay sex scene, or a blowjob in the car, hard to actually complain about. Those outfits throughout also looked great, she's a real cutie and seeing her in a nurse outfit or in POV action (which we got in some of the scenes) is a real treat. That's all on top of a performance that was surprisingly enjoyable. It's not the kind that will knock your socks off but honestly it was more than satisfying for the video. She felt down to earth and relatable, wasn't too whiny, and seemed to be enjoying herself.
20. IESP-712 - Rino Yuki
Rino Yuki plays a schoolgirl that gets taken captive. She's then used for a guy's wild sexual fantasies before he invites all his friends over to enjoy her as well.
Rino Yuki has always been a trooper of an actress, especially the more we find out about her having fibromyalgia and how difficult things must have been for her. This one is no exception either as it was really rough the entire time. Rino got used six ways to Sunday in a way that appeals to the more carnal desires people have. So much of the videos I watch are dramas where things aren't rough, and honestly when you get to rougher videos they tend to hold back a bit. It's always like they think rough means something lesser (like no spanking) or we need to go full on S&M to get there. No, there's a beautiful middle ground that this video proves in spades. Watching Rino get deepthroated fantastically, the position variety, the way they spanked her, and honestly just the way they had their way with her, all incredible stuff. The way her hair was messy from it you could really tell they did a number on her in a way that was very satisfying. This video might not be for everyone but if you're a bit tired of the more timid stuff studios are producing, this is a good one to check out.
19. WAAA-293 - Ai Sayama
Ai is a teacher who starts developing feelings for one of her cute students. She attempts to seduce him but nothing really comes of it. However, on the day of his graduation she manages to convince him to come back to her place and things completely change...
First off I actually thought the plot was good despite a lack of teacher action in the school. They very clearly presented it as him graduating with the word for the graduation ceremony on the blackboard, but also just the way people were dressed up made it obvious if you couldn't read the Japanese. I thought the teasing from Ai early on segued into the action pretty nicely and the culmination of them fucking outside of school after his graduation worked surprisingly well. They were able to slowly build it up over the first scene and really over the entire video as the two became fast lovers, eventually having to give us a montage to capture everything in the two hours. Ai can be a pretty delightful performer as she was here and with there being a ton of scenes and a lot of creampies, there were a lot of natural breaks in the content to prevent her from being too whiny. That's also not to mention the fact that the amount of scenes created good variety in general, letting you have sex in the living room, have dinner turn into paizuri into sex, or just naturally having sex in the morning. This video was quite reminiscent of those *** Is Your Bride videos from Moodyz a few years back without the POV and I generally quite enjoyed this one.
18. SSIS-938 - miru
Yuzuru's stepsister is a pretty notorious slut who will just pick up random guys off the street and have sex with them. With how promiscuous she is compared to Yuzuru, she loves to tease him and say that he smells of virgin. One day she catches him masturbating and just as Yuzuru thinks she's going to laugh at him she tells him his dick is actually nice and before you know it she's taking his virginity.
I really enjoyed the narrative and the attention to detail they had. They started off showing how slutty miru was picking up a guy at the arcade and it really set the tone for the rest of the video. That's also not to mention miru's appearance which really looked the part, especially that blond streak of hair. Watching them fuck sloppily all over the living room in the first scene or how wet miru was in the final scene helped carry the theme through the video. I could really get behind her teasing him for being a virgin and even though it wasn't my preferred ending to see them become a bit more even I still found myself enjoying the ending with her getting busy still in her yukata. Could her performance have been a bit better? Sure. Did the production quality or her squirting make up for some of it? Sure. It's still one of the better films of the year that I've seen and definitely one that makes me rethink how much I like miru.
17. MIAA-968 - Akari Niimura
Akari works at a convenience store and is a huge slut. She will happily fuck around at work given even the slightest opportunity to do so. Guy standing behind the front counter? That's the perfect time to give him a blowjob.
Convenience store videos are a guilty pleasure of mine, especially when they do them right. It's not even hard to do them right, just keep all the action at the convenience store and utilize a bunch of different areas such as the aisles, back room, front counter, fridge, and washroom, which we got many of here. You also need to keep the uniforms on to drive home the theme, which we did in every scene except the last on where I wasn't even upset seeing her in some nice pantyhose to accentuate her nice lower half. Akari was also pretty wild throughout, threading the needle well between going too overboard at times getting herself drenched in his cum while staring out in space or being assertive and taking what she wanted. That sort of wild, more dominant style is what I've come to know and love from Akari and it really shows in a video like this. It's not just the hot theme but the performance to boot that elevates this to a spot on my top 25 of the year.
16. WAAA-248 - Julia
Julia plays a nurse that will help you out with all your troubles. Regardless of who the patient is or why they need help, Julia is there for you, letting you get off between her big, soft titties or even bust a load inside her.
Julia is an actress that exudes maternal instinct these days and having her be a kind nurse really suits her well. Nurse videos can go in all sorts of directions but sometimes I just want someone kind to soothe me as I'm recovering. Who better than this slightly mature, very beautiful, and of course busty lady? "Don't worry, it's okay, let my tits make you feel good" as you get a paizuri from her, or better yet she'll ride you until you bust a nut inside her. The video did a lot of justice to the theme giving us great setting and outfit variety, something nurse videos can sometimes struggle with. At the end of the day I just love Julia when she's not in some boring, dull MILF narrative, and this was exactly what the doctor ordered.
15. PRED-539 - Aika Yamagishi
Aika starts living with her new boyfriend but finds out that he doesn't seem all that into the relationship, especially in the sexual satisfaction column. That's fine, Aika has enough in the tank to fill him up and man does she go wild.
The video's narrative, while a bit difficult to understand the nuance, was still pretty enjoyable. The biggest boon is that it gave Aika the room to be pretty dominant and upbeat which is where she excels. It didn't really have to be compelling (and it wasn't bad or anything) when Aika could really charm you with her performance. She would ride the guy one moment and hop off to shove her pussy in his face the next in ways that felt very engaging and fun at the same time. The video giving her opportunities to be spontaneous with sex helped make her be so upbeat and fun but honestly it was just solid content to see. I especially liked her challenging him on watching porn, like are you really doing this instead of having me? Even in the end when Aika was a bit more submissive it was still a surprisingly hot and enjoyable performance. This video is ultimately a great reminder of the skills Aika has and how little she needs to make a winner of a video.
14. JUQ-466 - Kanna Fuji
Guy is visiting home during the sweltering summer and borrows some porn from his friend. When he goes to return it his friend isn't there but his friend's stepmom, Kanna, is there. Turns out she knows all about her stepson's porn collection and embarrasses him by reading out the labels on the DVDs. What's this? A video about stepmoms? Do you like stepmoms? She then grabs the tent in his pants and is all over him.
This is my favourite series from Madonna and man this did not disappoint. I liked how the plot had a fun twist with it using JAV to push the narrative, definitely an underrated impetus. I quite enjoyed Kanna's performance, definitely being the right level of assertive while mixing in a few notes of passion here and there. Those passion elements felt great alongside the narrative that her husband's love for her was waning. Of course, you got all the great positions and action from Kanna, thrusting her hips in missionary and doggy the way you want to see. I especially enjoyed the way she could contort her body to get some even more unique positions, like when she was thrusting while standing with one leg practically pointing straight up. She also looked fantastic with the way the sweat glistened on her, the icing to the cake. Definitely one of the best in this series.
13. JUQ-228 - Chitose Saegusa & Nina Nishimura
Chitose and Nina head to the baths for a refreshing time and notice a few cute guys there. They then get a devilish idea to have some fun with them, and throughout the time there the two of them find themselves fooling around with them.
Holy moly does this video catch your attention right away. How many actresses can compete with the plump figure that Chitose has? I can probably count them on one hand and Nina is among the few that legitimately can. Right out of the gate you get their juicy bodies in microbikinis in the sauna and you recognize the treat you're in for. All of the content was like that, just two plump ladies doing their thing. Having them be the ones initiating all of the content was nice as the guy and his friends had no idea their trip to the gym would be quite like this. Chitose is known for being a really great performer and watching her elevate Nina was an unintended but great side effect of them working together. All of the scenes were pretty great too; when the low of your video is the two of them giving you a handjob / blowjob / paizuri together in the locker room you know the video is doing great stuff. It didn't quite have the lesbian content I was hoping for but considering my expectation was for none I happily sat quiet and enjoyed what we got.
12. JUQ-465 - Maki Tomoda & Ririko Kinoshita
Maki and Ririko plays a couple of lingerie saleswomen. The two go door to door selling their wares and when guys aren't quite sure they give them an up close and personal demo.
This is a video that looks incredible just off the DVD jacket. Two great MILFs? Check. Lesbian content? Check. Over three hours? Check. Directed by Nao Masaki? Check. What more could you ask for at that point? Lingerie saleswomen isn't exactly the narrative I would have picked for some less busty women but when you're able to fit in some office lady stuff I won't complain too much. The performances of both of them were quite nice, really getting into it and being upbeat and enthusiastic. That wasn't just limited to when they were making out with each other or playing with their tits but the entirety of the film. You'd see them just generally being engaged with the guy and not standing around, like trying to lick the guy's balls while he was balls deep in the other actress or shoving their tits in his face. Of course, the lesbian content was the real star of the show, especially when they ate out a dripping creampie to cum swap it. That is simply always going to be peak content in an FFM threesome and watching these two do it made it an easy sell.
11. MIAA-766 - Alice Otsu & Chitose Saegusa
Alice is a gal student who has no idea what to do with her life. She goes to her teacher Chitose for some advice and Chitose decides to not only tell her what to do but to team up and give her some active education in it. The two then have fun messing around with random guys.
Let's talk first about performers because my god are they both wonderful. I think most people know Alice as being a strong, wild performer, and Chitose fans know her to be much the same. Pairing the two together was sure to be full of very furious action and you got that the entire three hours. Chitose had that wild energy right from the first time she started making out in the first scene and carried that energy through more than just her paizuri but during the main course as well. Of course, Alice was much the same but in different ways like with her squirting. One of the things that stood out was Chitose trying to match the squirting, and while I do know Chitose to squirt on occasion she's nowhere near Alice's level, so seeing her step up a bit was pleasant. I think the biggest thing was the two of them getting involved with each other from time to time. It wasn't lesbian video levels of engagement but it was the icing on top that solidified this as one of my favourites of the year.
I hope you've all enjoyed part one of my top 25 of the year. Make sure to check back in two weeks when part two goes live and I post my top 10 of the year. Until next time!
