You’ve probably heard of chat and cam sites that promise genuine Asian girls to get off with and may have joined one only to be disappointed. Not so at Sakura Live, a well-priced chat and cam site that offers genuine Japanese girls in solo, one-to-one video chats. With its state-of-the-art interface, its interactive toy plug-in, and a host of Japanese ladies willing to bare all with you, this cam site is fast becoming one of the most popular Japanese sex cam sites.
Let’s start with the models. These are all amateur girls, as you expect from cam sites, though many of them behave exactly like adult movie stars, and they have the looks to match. Ranging in age from 18 upwards, they make for a happy browse time, followed by intimate, sexy chat. However, they are not all Japanese. The majority are, but the site also caters for a few other Asian countries and even has some European Asian girls on the books. You can't miss them, they are there on the front page as soon as you hit the tour or enter the members’ area. It’s hard to say how many there are, but there were 72 on the home page when I called in, and many of them were engaged in private shows. The tour pages suggest there are over 21,000 performers, but I could only find the one page.
I have to say, the models were exactly as I expected them to be: young, slim, pretty, demure, friendly and willing. That’s exactly what you want from a cam site model, and the fact there are so many willing to engage with the interactive toy feature, makes for an ever more pleasurable visit. This feature allows you to control her vibrator, once inserted, so you can sit and watch yourself pleasuring her while remaining totally in control.
Each model comes with a list of stats that give her age, location, and measurements and tells you what she does for a living. (There are many students.) You can also see when she’s been online, and her appearance schedule. As for their sample shots, they give you the classic, innocent-looking young Japanese lady portraits, but the innocence is deceiving, as these girls know how you really want them to behave.
You should find plenty of girls online when you arrive, and it’s a simple case of browsing through the lists, seeing the large face shots, and then clicking to enter the profile area. You’re able to find free shows, see who is already in a chat, and see who is doing a private show. These shows can also be public ones, where you use fewer credits to watch because there are more of you participating, and they also offer celebrity shows from time to time, but who they are, it’s hard to say. You can find some free chat and you can also record shows.
The girls are one thing on a cam site, but how the site itself operates is also just as important. Sakura Live has come in for a little criticism for having few browse tools, and I have to agree, it was difficult to see the girls and find out much about them. They have their stats, and that’s about it, I didn't see too many sample photos or videos, and I could only find one page of 72 models. There is a search page, but it’s limited, and you can add individual girls to your collection of favourites.
The index page profile pics of the models don't reflect what the girls are doing or wearing, but when you click through to a private page, the chat box opens in a new window, and you should be able to see your girl right away. If she’s in a private chat, the page will tell you, and you can then decide if you want to pay up to log in. The cams are HD and the streaming was smooth, there are no complaints there. You can also have the language translated from Japanese to English, and the site tells you that you're better off watching in a Chrome browser because it doesn't function well with Firefox. I'm not sure about other browsers.
As for prices, you can watch some chat shows for free, but you can't join in and chat. To do that, you need points, and the least you can spend is $25.00 for 12.5 points. The more you buy, the more you save, with 110 points at $200.00 saving you $20.00, and you'll need them because the points drain away pretty fast once you start chatting. All payments are made in dollars, and via Epoch, which means you can also use PayPal to buy your credits.
Sakura Live looks like most other cam sites, but it is actually a little different. That’s because it focuses on Japanese girls, and is one of the few cam sites to do so. It could do with some minor improvements; navigating to the alleged 21,000 models could be a lot easier, and I’d like to see more info about the girls and easier ways to find any photos or videos they may have. Otherwise, it’s easy to use, reasonably well priced, technically it works well, and the cams are HD.
