Just a quick VR-related announcement...
As I shoot more VR videos, I've been gradually gaining knowledge and experience that have helped improve the video quality and overall 3D experience. As I covered in a previous post (Tweaking the Covert Japan VR Workflow), a few things in particular made a significant impact on the VR quality.
Therefore, I decided to apply this experience and technology to my previous VR releases and remastered them. These remastered versions are now available for download in the Covert Japan store and the CJ SexLikeReal channel. If you already purchased them, simply login to your account and download. There's no need to re-purchase.
Peace and Blessings,

One of my major goals for this year was to obtain a merchant account to allow the integrated Covert Japan video store to process credit card purchases directly. I have nothing against clipstore platforms like ManyVids or Pornhub, but having your own merchant account offers the ultimate in flexibility and control.
Well, long story short, thank the gods I did! IndieBill, an adult video clipstore platform I used to rely heavily upon, announced that they will shutdown their business.
This news highlighted the advantages to operating as independently as possible. Lesson learned, and a fond farewell to IndieBill!
Peace and Blessings,

Shooting video is akin to taking pictures very quickly so that the eye perceives fluid motion. It's basically a high-tech flip cartoon. As technology advances and becomes more affordable, cameras can take more pictures more quickly, and displays can show these higher-speed flip cartoons. How many pictures are crammed into a second of video is the video's "frame rate," and generally speaking, the higher the frame rate, the smoother the perceived motion is going to look. 60 frames-per-second (fps) video should generally look more fluid than 30fps video.

Shooting, editing, and producing my own VR content has proven to be one hell of rollercoaster ride so far, so I took a little breather and spent the last month or so on research and development. As I'm shooting a fairly challenging type of VR (self-shot 3D with camera movement), I take improving the final product very seriously. I want each video to get more and more bad-ass.
Starting with my VR release "Nami's English Lesson Goes Extra Credit," I made some significant tweaks to my VR workflow:

Let's reflect on the absurdity of Japan's porn censorship law, which was penned in the early 1900s, and still exists with the same wording in Japan's criminal code to this very day. Below I present six arguments for why this anti-obscenity law is in dire need of abolishment or revision, as its current legal interpretation and implementation wallow in veritable illogic.

One of my 2020 New Year's resolutions was to full-on jump in the pool and try producing VR videos. Since I'm obviously quite new to VR production and a one-man show, I'm interested to hear any and all viewer feedback regarding my (relatively amateur) VR efforts. Here I address some of the constructive feedback I've received so far...
FEEDBACK #1
Covert Japan is my favorite studio here, but I wish the camera would be little lower. But, I understand that he has to wear gear on his head, Great job!
MY RESPONSE
First, this was received via my SexLikeReal channel, so I'm deeply flattered by the line "my favorite studio here," as there are myriads of highly-talented VR producers on SexLikeReal. Thank you very much for that!
To address the second part of the comment--yes, as a self-shooter, I do indeed mount the camera to my head. I've experimented with various mounting styles and so far this one provides the best balance of viewing angle and minimizing the dreaded camera shake.
I could of course do what most others do and shoot statically with the camera mounted to a tripod, but I think this places too many limitations on the dynamism of the scene as a whole. In other words, I'm not really into that "dead body guy" style.
I am experimenting with
