Where’s this scene

You must be kidding me! I can’t believe they advertises it but deleted the scene.

LOL. I hate K-Tribe because they are completely incompetent at filmmaking. There are JAV idols I love where I’ll have fun with pretty much every video they make – except for the K-Tribe ones because they’re so utterly bad and boring to watch that I can’t even fap to them. It’s almost impressive to be able to make the hottest girls boring on video every single time.

All that said, I love K-Tribe’s massively photoshopped box covers! It’s the only thing they’re actually good at doing. Unlike javver, I’m into lolicon, so K-Tribe is correctly targeting me. But their best box cover work isn’t their standard lolicon stuff like this, it’s the ’12 year old with huge tits’ work like KTRA-091 or KTRA-051. The videos may be awful, but you can fap to the box covers.

(Just to illustrate how bad I think K-Tribe is at filmmaking: I have around 500 JAV videos I like downloaded in a “Keep” folder. Most of the 500 are lolicon / JK, which is what K-Tribe specializes in. Of the 500, precisely one is a K-Tribe video, KTDS-553, and I’ve only got that one because Rio Koisawa only made a handful of films.)

If you don’t mind me asking, if K-Tribe is the worst loli studio, who is the best? Or at least, who is in the top tier?

Hmm… If I look at my “Keep” folder, it’s pretty well distributed between all the major studios. Plenty of Moodyz, Idea Pocket, and SOD. A decent chunk of Honaka, Kichikkusu, and Kawaii. A lot of First Star. An outsize number of NKKD and OYC. A lot of IBW and Natural High. And, of course, lots and lots of the first 200 releases from MUM, which are the ones directed by Piero Da.

Yeah, I agree First Star, IBW, Natural High, and MUM are all top tier

That’s an interesting contrast. I can’t comment on K-Tribe’s quality because I haven’t really watched their stuff: I’m being actively driven away by their covers and I’ve only downloaded (not yet seen) a few of their releases by actresses I like (and know look 100% different from the cover). So you’re saying that, whereas for me the covers are a massive downgrade on the looks of these actresses I love, for you they’re actually an improvement? Which means the “loli ideal” (head/body proportions, etc.) is yet to be materialized in an AV girl?, because, well, the actual girl doesn’t look at all like the cover. I have a question for you, are the girls in KTRA-091 and KTRA-051 even lolis at all? I may be opening Pandora’s box here because loliness might evade definition altogether. Tsubomi has/had a very loli face (nowadays she’s a category of her own, a FANZA review called her a “misorori”, portmanteau of “misoji”, 30 year old, and loli) but her body is very non-loli, and she’s taller than most actresses! I always associated “pure” loli to small and possibly underdeveloped (small chest and hip/waist ratio), but the concept is surprisingly hard to pin down when… Read more »

Well, since the actresses playing these roles are 18+, yeah, a photoshopped box cover can always get closer to the “loli ideal” than a video can.

(And K-Tribe isn’t the only studio that tries to make loli girls on box covers look younger, they’re just the most extreme and the best at doing it.)

“I have a question for you, are the girls in KTRA-091 and KTRA-051 even lolis at all?”

It’s a good question! These are chimerical creatures not seen in nature. 12 year olds don’t actually have huge tits, unless we’re talking about plastic surgery. So they’re sorta lolis but magical, and sorta not-lolis.

“I always associated “pure” loli to small and possibly underdeveloped (small chest and hip/waist ratio), but the concept is surprisingly hard to pin down when you start giving names.”

It’s tricky. For example, does Nagisa Mitsuki play loli roles? Probably not. If we go by Nabakov’s definition, which makes a good amount of sense, the category stops around age 14 or so. I think of Nagisa-chan’s roles as more JK than loli. Same with Rena Aoi. But Abe Mikako is more of a loli.

And then there are the rare actresses who somehow manage to pull the off the uncanny ‘loli with tits’ thing, like Saotome Yui for example.

Interesting discussion going on here. Isn’t this all about the Japanese obsession with cute (Kawaii?) – perhaps a little less sinister than it might otherwise appear? Or maybe not.

And just as a follow-up to that, is kawaii yet another Japanese porn genre (a searchable tag maybe?) but maybe more ‘acceptable’ than the ones mentioned here? Chucky will know, I’m sure……..

I’ve never seen anything like a ‘kawaii’ tag. ‘Mini’ seems very acceptable as a tag, but it obviously isn’t getting at the exact same thing as ‘kawaii’.
