The fan thanksgiving genre is one of my favorites when it comes to JAV. For those unaware, it's really quite a simple concept. It centers around the featured actress meeting and engaging in various sex acts with some of her fans. One of the reasons it's a favorite of mine is that it allows an actress's personality to truly shine. Without a plot to adhere to the actress is free to be herself. Even the less-than-stellar performers can put on a good show with this setup giving them complete freedom. Now it's safe to assume that many of the "fans" in these films are more than likely amateur actors but I'd like to think some of them are legit fans. With all that out of the way let's kick this off with my number 10 choice and one that may surprise some people to see it not place higher on my list.

10. PPPD-369

"If You Can Stand Hitomi's Titty Fuck You Get to Cum Inside Her at The Fan Appreciation Event"

Starring "Hitomi"

What a great setup right? It's a win-win no matter what! A lucky bunch of "fans" are selected and given a golden opportunity. They have 20 minutes to endure Hitomi's paizuri technique. If they manage to last the entire duration then they get to have raw creampie sex with her. If they fail well then, they still got to cum so it's still a good time. It's a fantastic concept that makes each scene engaging and entertaining. Also, you can't help but place yourself in their shoes and think "could I last?". The answer is probably not lol. This premise is also a brilliant way for Hitomi to showcase her lively and fun personality.

It's a wonderful sight to watch her just let loose and be herself. She really brings great energy here and is super engaging. Unfortunately, though there are a few issues that prevent it from reaching higher on my list. One is her paizuri technique itself which is honestly, quite bad. She's nearly all hands here with very little usage of her actual tits. It's a huge letdown. In addition, her wardrobe is disappointing. She doesn't wear any sexy or memorable outfits at all which feels like a missed opportunity. But on the brighter side, the sex scenes are solid and the technical aspects all around are exceptional. Despite a few shortcomings, PPPD-369 is still a wildly good time with creampies and tittyfucking. What's not to love?

9. STAR-689

"Housewife For A Day!?"

Starring "Marina Shiraishi"

Marina Shiraishi is a sure-fire lock for a good fan thanksgiving film. Her naturally bubbly personality and inviting persona are a perfect fit, and it shows here. The premise is simple enough with Marina visiting some of her fans in their apartments and having sex with them. However, the one interesting caveat to this is that she'll often engage in various activities with them such as watching one of her DVDs, bathing together, and cosplaying as a personal maid. It helps to keep each scene feeling slightly fresh and unique. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a double-edged sword as that leads to the runtime being severely bloated coming in at a whopping 4 hours.

That being said it still is entertaining watching her flirt with her fans thanks to her lovely cheerful personality and excellent enthusiasm. She's so bright and bubbly here which is exactly what you want from a fan thanksgiving film. Now the action all around is relatively great with plenty of full-on sex and some handjob and blowjob scenes. A nice touch is that she lets all the guys cum twice. Lastly the production values all fair pretty well. The lighting is natural, the camerawork is on-point and she sports a few nice outfits to boot. My only gripe is as I mentioned is the pacing. Otherwise, this is a terrific fan thanksgiving film that nails every aspect. As a sidenote, Can we please get this bubbly Marina back? I'm so over her Madonna work.

"Pervert Delivery"

Starring "Rio Hamasaki"

"Pervert delivery", what a title right? Simple and straight to the point. The premise centers around Rio Hamasaki visiting 3 different fans in their apartments and engaging in a specific scenario with them and having sex. This leads to each scene feeling distinctive with some memorable setups. Some include watching an AV film with a fan and watching him jerk off before having sex. Or in another where she cosplays as a cat maid and squirts all over. It's a nice concept that certainly lends itself to Rio's top-notch acting. I firmly believe Rio was one of the best performers when it came to fan thanksgiving type films.

She radiates such a naturally warm and inviting energy. On top of that, she boasts exceptional enthusiasm and her facial expressions are some of the best. She engages very well with the fans too which is always a vital element of any fan thanksgiving film. The action is admittedly a bit light but it does feature 2 sex scenes although one is quite short due to the guy not lasting long. The other scene is a handjob scene that indulges HEAVY on squirting as she soaks the guy and his room completely. Lastly, the technical aspects fair well with balanced pacing and a nice array of outfits. All this makes for a superb fan thanksgiving film. And don't be surprised to see Rio Hamasaki pop up again on my list...

"Call Girl Sex: Minori Hatsune Makes Dirty House Calls"

Starring "Minori Hatsune"

Minori Hatsune was one of my absolute favorites and naturally, I just had to include her entry into the genre here as it's actually a pretty great film in its own right. This is by far one of the most basic fan thanksgiving films on my list as the general premise is just simply visiting some "fans" and indulging in an array of sex acts with them. None of the scenes do anything particularly creative besides the final scene where she is given a time limit of 20 minutes to make the guy cum. Beyond that, it's very straightforward. While it doesn't bring anything new or innovative to the genre it still makes for an extremely enjoyable watch mostly due to her excellent performance.

Her naturally bright and bubbly personality shines exquisitely here. She is always smiling and having a good time which is reflected brilliantly in her facial expressions. Not to mention she backs all this up with top-notch enthusiasm and engages very well with the "fans". Action wise the film is rather dense with plenty of scenes. There are 6 in total with 3 sex scenes and the rest being a mix of blowjobs and handjobs. The sex scenes are solid and even the other scenes are terrific thanks to her fantastic acting. This is all rounded up in a well-produced package with great pacing and camerawork although the lighting could be a bit better at times. All in all, a very solid film sure to please any avid fan of the genre.

6. SNIS-736

"A Delivery Health Sex Service That Will Go Anywhere You Ask!"

Starring "Aika Yumeno"

This is by far one of Aika Yumeno's best videos ever. Her bubbly personality is front and center here as she gets to show off her more natural self.  This fan thanksgiving film tasks Aika Yumeno with picking up random "fans" off the street or even visiting one in his home and then having sex with them. The other unique caveat to this setup is that the whole film features a soapland theme. I've mentioned it before but soapland is not my cup of tea but presented in the context of fucking "fans" it makes it much more interesting. Now there are a few minor pacing issues as the film still suffers from the dragged-out foreplay ever-present in soapland films but Aika Yumeno's performance makes it bearable.

She really delivers one of her best performances to date. Throughout the whole film, she's incredibly lively and engaging. Not to mention her facial expression are on point too. This is a side of her that we rarely get to see and it's very refreshing. The action itself is quite good too with multiple sex scenes bolstered by an exceptional position variety and a decent outercourse type scene. The production values are mostly up to par with solid camerawork and a nice range of simple but sexy outfits for Aika. My only issue is that the pacing does feel quite bloated and the soapland fluff starts to wear thin. That being said this is still a fantastic film in the fan thanksgiving genre and is a perfect showcase of Aika Yumeno's bubbly personality.

5. SNIS-789

"We're Making A Popularity Ranking Check On Kirara Asuka At The AV Shop"

Starring "Kirara Asuka"

I've ragged on Kirara Asuka for being one of the weakest performers overall in JAV but she truly gets her chance to shine in this brilliant fan thanksgiving film. SNIS-789 features a fantastic premise centering out Kirara hanging out inside an adult DVD store and surprising some lucky fans. Some get a mere handjob and others get to have full-on sex with her. It's an exciting setup that makes for some engaging and risky scenes as she tries to remain concealed from other customers in the shop. One scene even has her seducing and fucking the manager to try and secure more shelf space. It's wholly entertaining from start to finish.

Now as I mentioned up above Kirara delivers a relatively great performance here. She's by no means perfect but at least she displays some emotion and enthusiasm here which is a somewhat rare sight from her in other films. It's fun watching her flirt with the fans and try to keep her cover. This leads to some amazing sex scenes. The sense of risk heightens the enjoyment for sure along with featuring some good position variety. In addition, the camerawork does a fine job at capturing full shots of the store when the action starts. The pacing is perfectly balanced too as no scene overstays their welcome or feels bloated. All this makes for what is quite easily Kirara Asuka's best video ever.

4. HNDS-021

"Haruki Sato Fan Appreciation Day: Raw Creampie Orgy With 20 Amateur Men"

Starring "Haruki Sato"

Getting to creampie your favorite AV actress? Sounds like a dream cum true! Well, some lucky fans got to do just that in this video. The premise overall is very simple as one look at the title tells you everything. Twenty “fans” are invited to have creampie sex with the lovely Haruki Sato. What could be better than that? With a 3 hour runtime you’ll certainly get your fill of genuine creampie sex. That is one of the best aspects of the film for sure. All the creampies here are legit, no fake stuff. Also, I feel like this is one of the more authentic fan thanksgiving films as most of the guys here seem pretty inexperienced, awkward, and only last a short period of time. Seems more realistic as opposed to other films with guys lasting like 15 or more minutes.

The action itself is pretty good. Most of the scenes feature a group of guys taking turns on her however the final scene is a more intimate one-on-one scene. Now none of the scenes are that intense and they're rather brief but it certainly adds to the authenticity of it all. Bolstering this is Haruki's commendable performance. She's never been that great of a performer but she does pretty well here with good engagement and energy. And lastly, the production values are spot on. Haruki sports a decent array of outfits and the lighting is very fitting. All in all, while I know these fan thanksgiving films are not 100% legit, HNDS-021 feels like one of the most authentic ones I've ever seen. Definitely recommend checking this out to any fan of the genre.

3. SNIS-712

"Amateur First Fucks Unleashed!! RION Fan Thanksgiving Day 10 Fuck Fests With 10 Amateur Men"

Starring "Rion/Rara Anzai"

A Rion video coming in near the top of the list? Hear me out alright. The film features a really fun premise allowing for Rara to finally shine as a performer. It centers around her with 10 or so "fans" as she is given 10 minutes to make them cum using whatever methods she wants. If they can last the full-time limit then they get to have sex with her. It's an entertaining premise that I think any of us fans would love to take part in. At the same time, it's fun to place yourself in the shoes of these guys and think "could I last?". Although I think the answer for nearly all of us is a resounding no lol.

One major reason this video tops my list is her acting. It's not often I can say this but she actually delivers a competent performance. It's great watching her just be herself as she's quite engaging and boasts some nice facial expressions. I can't say she's perfect but she clearly steps up her acting in a big way here. In addition, she looks stunning as always and is in amazing shape. Now sometimes in films such as these, the action can be lacking but not here. There's plenty of full sex scenes with solid position variety bolstered by excellent camerawork and lighting and is paced quite nicely. On paper, you wouldn't expect a fan thanksgiving film from Rion to be this good but alas, it is. If only we could get to see this side of her more often...

2. DVDES-357

"Lesbian Fan Thanksgiving Day!!"

Starring "Rio Hamasaki"

Time to share the love with the female fans of JAV for a change. Instead of pleasing her male fans this time it’s all about the ladies. The setup revolves around some lucky fans being invited out to play with Rio in a variety of ways. There's plenty of kissing, groping, fingering, and even strap-on use. Now sometimes lesbian videos can be quite boring and dull but this one delivers on all fronts starting with the action. Most of the scenes involve Rio being on stage and drawing numbers that correspond to a lucky fan from the audience. She then engages them with a different act ranging from light stuff like groping and kissing to motorboating her and fucking her with a strap-on.

The variety is surprisingly fantastic and will keep you entertained all the way through. Acting is always key here and thankfully Rio is absolutely perfect as she delivers one of the best I’ve ever seen from a video in this genre. She’s so incredibly friendly, warm, inviting, bubbly, and just so natural. It really seems like she’s enjoying herself and having a good time. It doesn’t feel artifical at all. Finally, I can’t forget to mention how insanely gorgeous Rio looks here. Besides wearing a few nice outfits she herself is just in flawless shape with her immaculate perky tits. DVDES-357 easily earns its spot here thanks to some top-notch acting and a unique take on the fan thanksgiving genre. It's definitely a must-watch!

1. DVDPS-964

"Rio Hamasaki's Fan Apprecations Day"

Starring "Rio Hamasaki"

It was difficult deciding between this and DVDES-357 as both are nearly flawless. But I ultimately chose this one as it has a bit more variety. DVDPS-964 takes the standard fan thanksgiving premise and puts an interesting spin on it. Rio stands up on stage in front of a crowd of fans and draws a ball out of a box. Each ball has a number on it that pertains to a fan. The activities start out pretty mild with just the first guy getting to fondle her tits through her shirt. Then the next guy makes out with her and it keeps escalating until a few lucky guys get to fuck her while the other guys cum on her. The action as a whole is fantastic with a nice mix of blowjobs, paizuri, and full sex scenes.

In addition, the pacing is very well done here starting out small and eventually building up to those great scenes. It makes those scenes that much more satisfying. Now, what would a truly great fan thanksgiving video be without a great performance? Thankfully Rio delivers in spades here. She’s very engaging with the fans as she eases them into the scenes with her terrific facial expressions and warm and inviting energy. Couple all this with some solid production values and you've got what I consider to be the best fan thanksgiving film ever. It really nails every single aspect with a great and engaging setup, superb acting, and entertaining action. Not to mention Rio looking absolutely stunning. What's not to love?
