It seems the major JAV provider r18 is having issues with getting payments up and running again for US customers. What is the possibility of bringing some of those studios content over like Idea Pocket and Rocket?

    Zero, I suppose... Most of the best JAV studios are DMM / R18 exclusive. They would rather not sell than be sold by others.

    OpeningThng19 It seems the major JAV provider r18 is having issues with getting payments up and running again for US customers

    Not only US customers, but from all over the world. Currently no accounts can be created at R18.com, and they do not sell any titles, only rentals. And they have stopped putting JAV VR new titles... 🙁

    so what does this mean to the layman - we are going to get less JAV here?

      catflap It seems to be a problem with Western pay services, which do not accept movies with non-consensual sex, even if it is a performance.

      I guess R18 will be removing all these videos to sell in the west, and then will be back to normal operation here.

      New JAV VR titles are still being released in Japan, through DMM. So new titles should still be coming out normally, even if we can't buy them.

      I believe it's still possible to buy through DMM website, but its much more of a hassle since they don't have an english site.

      I like JAV too but i hate censored screen in VR(close up to some square). DMM is not expensive, but most of the JAV is in 4K/5K. I still waiting SLR original JAV

        RTHK Japanese censorship is a torture, but there is nothing we can do about it.

        And Yes, JAV VR still uses 4K cameras, and image quality is pretty mediocre. It's ironic that Japan makes the best VR cameras, and then Japanese studios use low quality ones.

        RTHK I still waiting SLR original JAV

        I've already lost my faith with this.... I don't think we'll ever see it.

          Of course I would prefer that it were uncensored, but I can tolerate censorship if the girls are natural and beautiful and there is immersion, like in most JAV VR.

          In fact most of the VR porn I consume is JAV, because it is true VR, the immersion and realism, the feeling of being inside the scene, is much greater in JAV VR.

          SEEMS like the pixelation is becoming more targeted and a little lighter...it's a great improvement

          they are also helping with it with PRE naked scenes

          i like that fact they are improving at all times

            Subs are what would make it for me. The story and talking basically have no rivals. VR is a step up from the standard naked-bj-fake-pornstar-noises-finish formula but it's not always any better. Guess I should learn more words.

            Straight to sex and moans with nothing else is boring even if its more immersive.

              We need a weekly SLR originals series set in a Japanese language school, spend a few minutes each week learning Japanese sex talk. The amount of JaV I've been watching recently in a few weeks id be fluent.

                dojimmy in the eight years since discovering the wonders that make up JAV, I’ve learned that Oppai means boobs 🤣 everything else I just guess at what they’re saying to me. I still love the complete and utter debauched creativity that comes from that place.

                uselinux Subs are what would make it for me.

                Well in my view this is only a good thing if they can somehow be toggled on and off - e.g. adding a srt file alongside the video file that a player can read and display, making this an opt in/out concept. WowGirls and Ultra Films release 2D content in Russian language with subtitles, and those words at the bottom of the screen just get in the way and take me out of the fantasy. Force that into a VR scene and I can’t imagine a more immersion-breaking thing.

                Ive said before id love to see subtitiles, with the subtitler given some artisic liscense.
                I dont know how correct this is but using google translate to try and learn pronunciation most sound pretty familiar.

                  Wow! Thanks! This is great. Are your English spellings phonetic?

                  For example, "sugoi". I think I hear it pronounced SAgoi, but the spelling is a with a U. So, I'm am I hearing SU or SA?

                    mebejoe
                    not certain more research is required. That was a list i found in an article when i 1st took an interest in JAV, i do think those english spellings must be phonetic but possibly written by someone whose 1st language wasnt english, though some seem pretty spot on.

                    Here's a JAV dictionary i found a while ago. It wont help with complex conversations, but it's nice to know more or less what's going on. Beware, long post:
