Shemale Japan is a specialized transsexual porn site where all of the chicks with dicks are Japanese. This highly specific collection is 100% exclusive, and as far as I'm aware there are no others like it. All the videos and photos are shot on location in Japan, and the site is updated regularly with new materials. Members also get access to exclusive chat rooms and forums dedicated to shemales.
Japanese transsexuals are pretty rare to see in porn, and that alone gives Shemale Japan an edge. This one seems to have a true corner on the market, and I do not believe there are any other sites with a specific new-half (the slang word for Japanese transsexuals) theme. The site includes not only solo posing and masturbation scenes, but also hardcore action featuring trannies with men and other trannies. Various genres and fetishes within the Japanese shemales theme are explored. These include smoking and foot fetish, BDSM, hand jobs and foot jobs, and more.
The collection here is a decent size with over 200 videos and over 200 photo galleries available so far. There are nearly 200 different models on the site. Updates are made every two or three days. The videos vary widely in running time, ranging from brief interviews that lasted just a few minutes to fairly lengthy hardcore scenes. Photo galleries offer 100 to 150 each.
On top of the typical video and photo offerings you're used to seeing on just about all porn sites, Shemale Japan also has a community element. The site is part of the long-running and popular Grooby network, and members get access to exclusive forums and chat rooms where you can get to know other shemales over. It's my understanding that some of the models even stop in now and then to chat with their fans.
Quality here is excellent overall. Most of the videos come at up to 852 x 480 pixels, 2000 kbps, but more recently the top quality level has been raised to 1280 x 720 pixels, 3100 kbps. Sometimes the color balance seems a touch off, but for the most part these look very nice. Playback is smooth and clear, and you should have no trouble viewing them in full screen. Photos measure 1280 pixels on the long side and are just about as close to perfect as it gets.
Shemale Japan recently redesigned their entire site, inside and out, and it looks pretty damn good. The tour pages offers video and photo samples from a large number of the available scenes, and give you a good cross-section of the various types of kinky clothing and types of scenes you'll see these new-half sweeties in.
You can do most of the navigation on the site using the menu near the top of the page. This provides one click access for the model listing pages, the video section, the updates page, a favorite tool, the members forum and chat, and FAQ section, and a few other links which lead to ads for in-network and third-party sites and services.
The search page offers the chance to search models, videos, or photo sets. There's a list of various genres, fetishes, and physical attributes like body type, breast size, clothing type, age range, dick size, hair length and color, and hardcore actions including dildos, foot jobs, blow jobs, and fucking. You can even choose from four different Japanese cities where the scenes are shot, Hakata, Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo.
Although there are some pretty nice features and options here, things don't always work as you might think. For example, the update section does not actually list all of the updates, but instead lists only the photo updates. You must go to a different section, the update archive, to see the video updates. This really makes no sense, and it makes it difficult to see how many movies are available here.
Another strange issue is the fact that the video section does not seem to contain all of the videos available on the site. Just 40 video updates are listed here, and in order to find the rest of the flicks, you have to use the search page. Leaving all of the search options blank and selecting to return only video results will give you a full list of all of the videos. It took me a while to get comfortable with the navigation here and feel confident that I was actually seeing everything the site has to offer.
The Shemale Japan videos are offered for download in full-length WMV format files in your choice of two quality levels. Download speeds are pretty fast, so you won't have to wait long before you get to the good stuff. The photos are offered for viewing in thumbnail galleries, and you can also download full sets in ZIP files.
Shemale Japan is simply a must see site for those interested in Japanese trannies, aka new-halves. The site is 100% exclusive and authentic, the materials are high quality, and updates come frequently. Although I'd like to see the members area arranged a little better, it shouldn't stop you from checking this one out.
