SakuraLive

Since 2009, SakuraLive.com has delivered uncensored Japanese video chat to people all over the world. The Asian adult cam site originally launched with a meager, '$2.99 for 10-minutes special.’ Since then, SakuraLive has grown and evolved into one of the top destinations for fans of raw Japanese and Chinese adult cams. Despite its impressive growth, one thing remains the same: SakuraLive’s unwavering desire to be the destination for authentic, foreign Asian webcam performers.

SakuraLive aims to give customers a unique experience they won't find anywhere else. One way SakuraLive achieves this is by giving customers the ability to control the camera and toys of the performer. Customers have the choice of controlling the intensity of the performer’s vibrating toy. In essence, the customer uses the sex toy on the performer making the show an even more intense, intimate experience than what a user finds on most cam sites.

Credits are cost effective

The cost of credits on SakuraLive is:

• $200 for 110 points
• $100 for 50 points
• $75 for 37.5 points
• $50 for 25 points
• $25 for 12.5 points

Although at first glance it looks like customers do not get a lot of 'bang for their buck,' customers won't blow through credits as they do on most adult webcam sites. This is because SakuraLive deducts credits from the tenth decimal position rather than the whole number. It's the difference between charging by the cent rather than by the dollar as most cam sites do. This means users are getting a lot more credits than what it looks like. It seems credits do not disappear as fast as on other cam sites one might find on ThePornDude, meaning credits on SakuraLive are also quite cost-effective.

Thumbnails are large

When browsing SakuraLive, it's easy to identify whether the cam models are worth the click. Thumbnails are large and detailed, though the quality could look better. That isn't to say that the thumbnails are ugly or take away from the overall experience of the same: they look fine. Even so, the resolution could be higher, and they could use a bit of polish to make them look as detailed as thumbnails on other adult cam sites. It achieves its goal of showing users what the model looks like, but beyond that, they don't necessarily add or take anything away from the functionality or attractiveness of the site.

UI is okay

Just as is the case with SakuraLive’s thumbnails, the user interface (UI) is just okay. It’s a bit too basic. The cherry blossom background isn’t offensive or off-putting: it’s just there to keep the site from looking drab.

The buttons at the top of the homepage are the same too. Again, they’re nothing special or beautiful to look at they’re just there. They serve their function, they are neutral to the eye, and visitors won’t come away feeling like the overall look is outstanding or ugly. SakuraLive’s main focus is on the performances and how to appeal to fans of Asian models. While that’s commendable, SakuraLive should consider taking a second look at giving its overall UI (and thumbnails for that matter) a fresh coat of paint.

The connection is mostly stable

SakuraLive focuses on ensuring that customers have the best experience possible. One part of that equation involves having a stable connection. While viewing a handful of performers, more often than not, the connection was stable without any stutters whatsoever. However, there were times when stability and connection woes became a problem. The connection problems never lasted more than a few seconds, but these issues sometimes increased in frequency, too.

This could be due to several factors: slow connection speeds on either parties' end or the time of night. There is no way to say affirmatively one way or another. While one's mileage may vary and connection issues are not paramount, they do exist and customers may run into their issues. It shouldn't be a big issue, but if the problem does persist reach out to customer service.

Real Asians performing live

We live in an always-connected world, so the novelty of speaking to someone from a foreign country is more of an artifact from the past rather than the reality of modern times. Still, there is something that's still novel and unique about watching real, authentic Asians performing live from their home in Japan or China. There is an audience out there that wants to watch real Asians living in their home country performing while speaking their language. Luckily for them, SakuraLive gives them exactly what they want.

For that audience, it’s hard to beat SakuraLive’s sheer variety of Asian models. No matter if one wants to view Asian MILFs or Asian college students trying to earn a living between studies, SakuraLive has the perfect model just waiting to satisfy one’s needs. For those that have been looking for this kind of content, it’s difficult to beat the sheer variety and numbers that SakuraLive delivers.

Auto translation

One of the problems with communicating with adult webcam performers from Japan and China is the obvious language barrier. SakuraLive alleviates this by offering an auto-translation option in each room's chatroom. Despite members or the performer writing only in their native language, users will see it translated to their language. There's never a reason to miss out on what someone says in the chatroom.

This works vice-versa, too. No matter if speaking English or another language the performer isn’t fluent in they will still know what is said. Although it's unclear how well the auto-translation option works, performers were responding to what SakuraLive automatically translated in the chatroom, so it works at least to some degree.

Models are stunning

SakuraLive totally shines when it comes to the quality of their models. As with the best adult cam sites quantity takes precedent over quality and it certainly shows here. No matter what type of Asian woman a customer wants to watch, chances are very high that they will find an Asian female that will more than satisfy their needs. As stated, whether one wants to look at older or young Asian women, Asians of a certain body type, or anything else, there is someone to satisfy everyone's desire at SakuraLive. The sheer variety is impressive, and SakuraLive deserves an applause.

Can control model’s toys

Keep that applause coming, though! SakuraLive wants to give customers new ways to interact with authentic Asian performers: one way they achieve this is by allowing viewers to control the model’s toys. This feature is available on other adult cam sites but SakuraLive approaches it a bit differently.

Notice the wording: toys. Yes, in some cases users can control between one to two toys; and by control, they truly do have control over the toys. Users have full control over the intensity of the toy, ranging from 0 to 7. Where and how often the toy slides between 0 to 7 is up to the customer. This gives them a level of control unfound on many cam sites. While many of them have their own 'vibe' brand, very few of them allow users to control the intensity of the toy in addition to deciding when it vibrates. It adds an entirely new level of intimacy that's found in very few adult cam sites, and it's a feature that all cam sites should consider implementing in the future.

Works perfectly on mobile and desktop

Chatting and interacting with Asian models all over the world should be as easy as doing it from anywhere in the world. Thankfully, SakuraLive makes it possible to do exactly that. Working perfectly on mobile and desktop alike, one never feels as if they are making any tradeoffs by using either platform. Use whatever platform makes sense at the time with confidence!

Sitting in rooms can cost credits

One of the downsides to SakuraLive is that the site automatically deducts credits from customer’s account. This isn't always obvious at first, though. Chances are customers may find credits deducted when they didn't know it was happening. So keep this in mind: when in a room, if it does not specify that it's free, it costs credits just to sit in there.

Now, customers won't find a lot of credits deducted by merely sitting in a room. As stated, credits are not deducted by the whole number just to the tenth decimal point. Still, it would be nice if credits were not deducted just for sitting in most rooms, especially when nothing is happening.
