Oppaira's January 2024 JAV Watchlist

Hey guys, Oppaira here. Welcome to my January 2024 Watchlist. Like my post from last month, I'm going to be doing these posts going forward where I list out the top 10 videos from this month that I am excited to watch. As with my post that went up the other day, I'm not only planning on watching them but planning on reviewing them as well, so I hope you'll come back later on and see the reviews and if they held up to my expectations. Without further ado here's the videos for this month.

Erisa Kusunoki plays the older sister and winds up having a thing for her sister's boyfriend. When she catches him interested in her huge boobs the two of them start fooling around behind his girlfriend's back.

Erisa Kusunoki is a 2023 debut that I'm ready to watch again. I would not have guessed it would come so soon but I'm happy to see Faleno take on this type of plot. It's my favourite narrative and it'll be the first time I've seen Faleno do it. I'm not sure that I have faith in them doing it because every studio aside from Oppai tends to do a bad job of it. That being said, I can't think of a plot I would rather be watching than this. Erisa's in that group of "I'll watch them again when something solid comes along" and this is really about as good as it can get. It's only 10th on my list because I'm a bit of a skeptic with Faleno but I'll try it out nonetheless and hope Erisa has a strong performance.

Yuki Nitta stars as a busty nurse who will use her monstrous mammaries as her own special medicine.

Like Erisa, Yuki Nitta is also a 2023 debut and also someone I'm excited to watch again. Where Erisa is someone I think a plot video makes sense Yuki is someone where simple themes like this make more sense. A nurse and paizuri combo is deadly for her, it's just enough theme to be entertaining while letting the spotlight be on her best quality. Not everyone is going to like her tits but I say that paizuri looks incredible and gets me going every time. It's really one of the most ideal themes for her and hopefully it turns out as well as I hope it does.

Mina Kitano plays a married convenience store worker who fools around with one of her coworkers to add a bit of spice in her life.

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Mina Kitano, I tell ya. On the one hand her boobs are just... well, I'll refrain from saying anything about them to avoid the ire of our readers. From the back though, chef's kiss. That thing is a work of art and easily one of the best asses we've had in recent years. This creates an actress where I'm always thinking I should look past her boobs and watch her more. It really takes a bit more of a video for me to do that though and I think this convenience store video is the one. I've mentioned several times this is one of my favourite themes and Mina is someone I have a lot of faith in as a performer. If they give her space to be more dominant I have faith in this being something incredible, though between you and me I'm not entirely convinced they will. Still, if Mina is as good as I know she can be then this will be a slam dunk of a video.

Ririko Kinoshita plays an office lady who secretly loves to fool around with the men in the office.

Ririko Kinoshita is someone I enjoyed quite a bit right from the start. She has that plain milf vibe to her that I find myself enjoying more and more. Yes, women in porn are very hot, but finding someone who looks more average is actually refreshing. If you saw Ririko on the street you might not think twice about her the way you would with so many other pornstars. That also plays in very well to this theme of her being this sneaky office lady fooling around. The risky elements are clear as day from the trailer but what makes Ririko so good at it is that you'd never expect it. If the office lady was, I don't know, Nina Nishimura or Sumire Mizukawa, you might suspect a thing or two. When it's Ririko? I ain't suspecting a thing. It's the sort of thing that elevates your excitement and adds that extra depth to really make it shine. It's been a while since I've seen a film from her, especially an office lady one, and I'm quite excited for this.

Rei Kamiki plays a hotel stewardess who loves to make her boring job a bit (or at lot) more interesting.

Rei Kamiki is one of my favourite 2022 debuts and I find more often than not I'm sad about her releases because they're boring. They love giving her fairly generic things with a slightly more mature spin on them. Instead of getting schoolgirl stuff you get her as the teacher, for example, but even that is far and few between, often opting for even less of a narrative. This hotel worker release is the perfect mix between a suitable theme that's more mature and a strong theme that doesn't need a complex narrative. You can just enjoy her masturbating in the lobby or having sex in the storage room all in some sort of hotel staff uniform. It looks really incredible and I'm very excited to take a peek at this.

Madonna continues their 20th anniversary with another banger of a film, this time starring a whopping 21 actresses from their roster in an all-out mega film.

Madonna has been going hard with their 20th anniversary stuff and this one looks great. Last month we were treated to a similar one with 19 actresses and this one is even bigger with 21 actresses in it which is just, holy cow I can't believe it. Normally these videos are too much of a mess but something about them going this far over the top makes it rather interesting. Four actresses? Teetering on too much. Five actresses? Definitely too much. 20 actresses? Actually interesting. Especially when you've got a mix of things like lesbian content or scenes with too many people to fit on screen at once it's the exact kind of too much that makes it worthwhile.

Rei Kamiki is the cute, poor, unfortunate convenience store worker who has to work on Christmas eve. Some rowdy guys come in and what can only be described as a "Christmas miracle" happens where one of them wakes up in her body. What would you do if you woke up in the body of a stunning woman? Would you touch yourself? Would you party without consequences? Would you let the homie hit it?

I know there's already a Rei Kamiki video on the list but I have to admit this one looks very interesting. The other one looks like the safer bet, a strong uniform theme with a solid variety of scenes. This one, however, looks like it will have a lot more potential. I've seen a couple of videos of this theme and they range from not good to incredible and you're kind of gambling on which side of the coin you will get. This one looks a bit more interesting than normal with it being Christmas themed and the way they are celebrating. I also really just like seeing Rei get an opportunity like this. She tends to have more things like the hotel worker where she's meant to be more sultry and sexy and while it works for her I also often want things that can test her performing range a little more. Seeing her have a cake fight in the middle of a convenience store is the perfect thing to get her that opportunity. Is there a chance the video will be bad? You bet. Am I willing to risk it to see an interesting Rei film? You bet.

Haru Minato stars in a clothed-sex themed video where there are a variety of scenes with different outfits that all lead to some fun one way or another.

Haru is yet another 2023 debut that I gave high praise to, the highest of anyone featured on this watchlist. Just look at those tits and tell me you don't want to do things to them. Haru getting an S rank means I'm willing to watch the first thing that catches my eye slightly and this certainly does. It's not quite a video with a plot but each of the scenes individually has some sort of theme that carries it. Among those themes are office lady and gym workout which are of course going to look incredible. I've seen Hikaru Nagi do this series before and while the eye candy was certainly there the performance was lacking. Haru isn't a slam dunk of a performer yet but considering how bad Hikaru is I'm willing to bet Haru can one up her. Especially considering how high I am on Haru right now, definitely interested in this one.

Miyu stars in her first drama film where she plays a schoolgirl ready to mess around with her boyfriend.

Miyu Kiyohara is a fantastic 2023 debut, someone I'm quite high on but not nearly as high as Haru up above. That being said it's all about the video they're each starring in because Miyu's video looks more entertaining. Haru's has, well, eye candy with bits of theme sprinkled in but Miyu has a full on narrative, and a good one at that. I can't say I'm the least bit surprised that a schoolgirl narrative is her first drama, it makes perfect sense when she has that younger aesthetic to her. While part of me is a bit annoyed that they have a couple of sex scenes outside of the school utilizing the outfit to keep the narrative going it's probably a good way to bridge the gap from no-plot to drama so that it has a narrative with less dialogue. At least we get a scene in the library and a scene in the classroom so I'll just shut my mouth and enjoy us getting the first Miyu video that legitimately interests me.

Himeka Iori plays a nerdy, plain-Jane girl who is inexperienced at sex. She doesn't realize how hot she is but her stepbrother does and gets caught one day. When he introduces her to the pleasures of sex things flip and she becomes enamored with sex.

It's no surprise that Himeka Iori was one of my favourite 2022 debuts and really she fits exactly what I'm looking for. What makes Himeka stand out is how cute she is for her bust size, something you almost never see. I can think of a couple others but none that had a spotlight like her on a major roster like Idea Pocket that will give her great opportunities like this. WIth her playing this sort of neet character she appeals in a sense of her being pretty relatable and someone you could just hang out with. I've seen some videos with this kind of theme and sometimes they turn out to be incredible. In Himeka's they spin it as her being the stepsister to the male talent so we get some risky elements instead. While I'm not necessarily convinced that is the best way to do it I'm definitely interested to see how it turns out. I also think this series is really good for someone like Himeka who still has a bit of that inexperienced personality going for her. I can't really imagine a Kurea Hasumi type doing well in this series because it requires her to perform so far out of her wheelhouse, but Himeka, yeah I'm excited for it. Like Rei I'm willing to watch whatever good comes along but this looks more than good this looks absolutely incredible.

That's a wrap for the second watchlist installment.
