Hey guys, Oppaira here. If you haven't heard the announcement there are two crazy things that have happened. Let me just show you the covers and I think you'll see what I'm talking about.

What a glorious time it is to be alive with videos like this coming out. The first one is Idea Pocket's Beauty Venus series, BV8, and will include Momo Sakura lesbian content. The second one is basically an S1 rendition of the same and will include Yua Mikami lesbian content. Let me give you a bit of a rundown on Beauty Venus, the videos, and what's going on.

What is Beauty Venus?

Beauty Venus is a famous series from Idea Pocket that puts three exclusive actresses, from different studios, together in a video. That alone is special as we rarely get actresses working across studio lines. The other thing that makes it so special is that it's not just a group video but it also features lesbian content. There are no solo lesbian scenes, every scene features a guy, but the actresses enjoy each other at the same time. Kissing, sucking on tits... enough to get any fan excited. The video typically contains a scene with each pair as well as some with all of the actresses.

Beauty Venus is officially now on their 8th video dating back to as far as 2006. Some older fans might be familiar with some of the earlier ones like Beauty Venus 3 that starred Miyuki Yokoyama, Aino Kishi, and Jessica Kizaki, though I imagine most people are familiar with the more recent ones that have starred currently active actresses. The latest BV came out in 2020 and starred Minami Hatsukawa, Karen Kaede, and Miru.

Beauty Venus 5 is my favourite of the bunch and stars Minami Aizawa, Arina Hashimoto, and Aika Yamagishi. It's just such an incredible video with how great they looked, how enthusiastic they all were, and how much they all just got into it. It's definitely what BV is supposed to be as a series and something some entries didn't quite get down.

IPZZ-034

Mayuki Itou, Momo Sakura, Karen Yuzuriha

First off let's take a look at this cast because what a cast. Headlining it is the IP actress Momo Sakura, a favourite of mine there. I've been wanting her to do BV for several years so I'm glad she finally has the opportunity to do it. Next up joining her is Mayuki Ito, someone I think doesn't get enough recognition at times because she's at Kawaii instead of a bigger studio like IP, S1, or SOD. She's physically stunning and someone who I think makes a lot of sense to include after her video last year with Aika Yamagishi. Lastly is Karen Yuzuriha, a shared exclusive between Oppai and Premium that has certainly been a fan favourite. They're all headliners at their respective studios so it definitely makes a lot of sense to have a group like this, especially with them all being slim and stacked (even if Karen's are enhanced).

This one also looks like it has great content the same way all BV videos are. The Mayuki and Karen scene has a bunny girl theme, a nice addition to a video that honestly doesn't even need anything to be amazing. It even has a scene at the infamous pool, definitely something to look forward to if you enjoy the aesthetics. Of course, I'll definitely be looking at the Mayuki and Momo scene, what an incredible pair that I will be extremely excited to watch (and yes I'll still be excited for Karen). Especially with how long these videos tend to be, it looks like we've got at least three group scene and three duo scenes, that's a lot of hot action.

SSIS-698

Yua Mikami, Minami Aizawa, Arina Arata

This one is perhaps even more surprising than the first one because it stars Yua Mikami. By now I'm sure everyone has heard the news that Yua is retiring this August, a sad thing for sure. However, I don't think anyone was expecting her to go out with a bang. I mean, it's insane to think about her lifting her lesbian ban right before retirement. Sure, it's not quite a lesbian video in the traditional sense, but seeing her make out with Minami Aizawa is going to be absolutely incredible to see. It's also something that I hope will lead to other spicy content as she gets ready to retire. I don't expect her to star in some anal video like Kaho Kasumi did when she retired but a (fake) creampie video doesn't sound too off the rails with this one coming out.

Another crazy thing about this is that we have Minami and Arina returning together. They were both in BV5 together and I would never have anticipated them joining forces again. If I had to guess why, it would be that Yua asked for them specifically. If there's any actress in the entire industry who would have the clout to be able to request names like this and make it happen, it would be Yua Mikami after announcing her retirement. Not just that but factoring in that I'm sure they're all friends and have some history together it just makes a lot of sense. Personally I can't wait to see Yua and Minami make out, two absolute hotties that will be nice as hell. Or having Arina suck on Yua's nice boobs, oh man. The possibilities are endless with a superstar like Yua doing this kind of content.

Note: this one isn't technically a Beauty Venus video as it's for S1, but based on the trailer it looks to be a fairly similar video. It seems to have much more group content between the three (and perhaps only group content instead of the duo scenes) which I think is less ideal, but honestly I won't argue.

Oppaira's Ideal Casts

While the casts in the above videos are great they are not the casts I would have picked myself had I been able to do so. Here are some potential pairings that I would have come up with:

Aika Yumeno (S1) + Momo Sakura (IP) + Ai Hongo (Faleno)

Momo is my favourite IP actress and Aika is my all-time favourite S1 actress so putting the two together was a no-brainer for me. I've long since maintained that you want women in these videos who are physically similar, in fact I generally tend to say that when you have group videos. That's because when they're physically similar it prevents you from having one who outshines the other. The third was me finding someone who was capable of being just as bubbly from a third studio while being physically similar and Ai Hongo fit the bill for me. 

Konan Koyoi (S1) + Himeka Iori (IP) + Momona Koibuchi (SOD)

Everyone knows me as the big tits guy so of course I would pick something like this. Himeka Iori and Momona Koibuchi are two relatively new actresses that were some of my favourite debuts from last year. I think the two of them have fantastic, humongous tits, and of course I would want to pair them up together. After that I just had to go find the third and Konan fit the bill for me the best. One might argue for Aka Asuka but I think Aka seems a little bit too mature to work well with Himeka and Momona.

Conclusion

This is one insane day of releases, not just one but two incredible videos are about to come out. Let's not forget that we've got two stars in Momo Sakura and Yua Mikami doing lesbian videos for the first time. I never would have dreamed to see Yua Mikami doing this and honestly I'm hopeful it will open the door for someone else to do the same (looking at you Julia). Either way, these videos are set to come out next month and what a great month for JAV it will be.
