Oppaira's JAV Watchlist Review - April 2026
Hey guys, Oppaira here. Let's go see how April's releases turned out.
MIDA-594 - Himari
Himari lives across the hallway from one of her employees. He's had the hots for her, and her living there only makes it that much harder for him. One day his friend is over and she has a wild idea to bring the friend over. Turns out she has an even wilder idea to leave the curtains open so her employee can see. They might have warned about relationships with employees so maybe we'll go about as close as we can get without it.

Himari is an actress in a bit of a precarious position in my head because of how she performs. I find there's very fine line between her style being too whiny and generic vs being really good, and this video felt like it was too inconsistent. I find in videos like this when she's supposed to be the more dominant one that she has to bounce back much faster than she did here or else it feels like she's too submissive for the film. At least the other parts were quite good, like her paizuri was nice and her kissing was quite nice as well. It felt like she was trying to be seductive and sensual, and from that perspective it was done well in a lot of places. Her employee unfortunately never got a taste, and while we eventually got to a point where she was giving him straight up solo shows and not being subtle about it all, I couldn't help but wish he got a proper chance at the end. In fact, the whole style she had going for her being a bit too submissive might have been nicer if he came over for sloppy seconds at the end. The video was pretty good overall but was a little bit below a banger level for me.

PPPE-390 - Kurea Hasumi
Kurea goes out on the prowl, visiting some lucky guys and immediately doing what she does best.
View Spoiler
I feel like Kurea videos are all about getting the right content for her because we all know she can perform. Even in a video like this where the content wasn't what it should have been Kurea made it work. That's more of a nod to Kurea's abilities because a good portion of this video just wasn't there for me. A house visit where Kurea just immediately starts making out and mixes her dominant style with some good kissing is nice, and I liked it, but other stuff not so much. Her blowjobs and paizuri are only just alright so those foreplay heavy scenes tend to be a bit underwhelming, which was also the case in the scene she was with that workplace boss. I mean sure, spank him and talk dirty to him and whatever, but sucking on your nips as you give him a handjob is a task for someone with real J cup tits not yours. Even as fun as walking in on two guys in a bath can be, settings that just don't let Kurea be Kurea as much fall flat for me, and her performing just wasn't that great then either. Kurea's performance definitely carried this more than anything, because when she was on she was really nice, but what I thought was going to be an easy banger was only just a good video.

START-540 - Suzu Honjo
Suzu plays a cop - a special kind. You see, the worst of the worst end up there where she has to reform their sexual behaviours. Suzu uses her body to reform them all.
View Spoiler
Stoic cop Suzu was obviously going to be good, the question was always just how good. I liked the plot, punishing inmates into rehabilitation just works. Oh I've been a bad guy I guess you need to have sex with me, yeah that's going to work for most people I think. Especially with the whole police officer outfit and jail cells, it just works. Honestly, it's something studios should do more, because outside of this it's mostly just that one series from Prestige going down this path. If we ever get this jail cell setting it's almost always a more slutty variety, which isn't bad but I feel like they limit themselves a little bit. The plot in this one ranged in ways from her being that sort of stoic person in charge to situations where they were gangbanging her, which I appreciated getting the variety. Suzu is also just good at being stoic, she can keep her voice down and maintain most of the composure, and even when she didn't it felt like she's breaking a bit more than anything. What really makes her good at the stoic side is her eye contact, the intensity of it really amps up how it feels. The way I would sum up recommending it is this: if the cover excites you the video will too.

WAAA-637 - Hibiki Otsuki
Hibiki plays a slutty nuse who loves to come over and have some fun with her patients, all in glorious POV.
View Spoiler
Is it just me or are nurse videos a little overrated? Maybe it's just me watching too many of them and finding all of them feel the same. I mean sure, I want a nurse get on top and ride me when I'm in the hospital as much as the next guy, but eventually they all start to feel too much the same. You could make more interesting content where you do it in different places in the hospital, or maybe you have a gangbang because why not, which we definitely didn't get here. It was all just POV action from Hibiki, which is not necessarily bad but after a while started to feel like it's too much of the same. The sex felt somewhat similar, where I wanted Hibiki to do something a bit more unique and up to her speed and she just didn't for some reason. Like instead of squirting on us (which to be fair might have felt a bit out of place) we got more standard stuff. Honestly I feel like Hibiki can kiss better than this, and perhaps the POV nature of the film got in the way of her kissing being where it should have. It's not like it was bad, it's more like it was inconsistent, and some parts were rather notably better than others. At least her hip action was on point, love me some Hibiki hips. I feel like I say this a lot with nurse videos but nurse is just such a good theme in general that it's hard to do wrong. It's like cold pizza, it's not the same as a hot fresh pizza, but I'll still happily eat it; I'll still happily watch your average nurse video because it'll still be good.

WAAA-645 - Riho Shishido
Riho is a bit of a naughty teacher, willing to fool around with her students. She's not even coy about it either, give her two minutes alone and she's lifting up her skirt and seeing where it can go.
View Spoiler
I feel like I often give Riho the benefit of the doubt in a way that I'm not sure I ought to. I know she can be a fantastic performer and I judge whether I want to watch videos on her peak not her average. Why do I say this? Because this is one such case where Riho wasn't quite where I needed her to be. She had times where it was good, like jerking him off while he was on all fours, footjobs, or squirting while being pounded. On the flip side there were too many times she just generic. Visually I was into her teacher outfits like a ripped pantyhose and whatnot, and some hot lingerie in the end was fantastic, but I think it had a little too much on the outercourse side. I mean sure she's hot and has a nice body but you kind of miss me doing it in back to back scenes. I mean look, it's ultimately a teacher theme with Riho looking great, so it's not like it's a failure of a video, I just think it could have been so much better than this.

Overall April turned out to not be as good as I think. Perhaps maybe I was a bit too harsh in some of the reviews. I find I tend to rate Himari's performance quite harshly, and I think others agree she's a better performer than I do. I'm definitely convinced the Kurea video missed the mark though, what a disappointment that one was (given that I had extremely high hopes). At any rate hopefully next month has fewer disappointments. Until next time!
