When I arrived at Sakura Live, I saw that it claimed to offer the hottest Japanese chicks on the planet and the best high-def cams on the Internet. Needless to say, after seeing what the site was promising, I had some pretty lofty expectations. Did it live up to them? Read on to find out.
SakuraLive claims to have a roster of over 21,000 babes and it looks like there can be anywhere from 50 to 150 performers online at any one time. Because they're on the other side of the planet, the times when the site has the most models is different than many other cam sites. Don't be surprised to find twice as many hotties in the morning than you would late in the afternoon, for instance.
There's a decent search function that allows you to whittle down the selection by age, appearance and breast size. You can also highlight the gals who have mics, are new to the site and have toys for playing. Most of the hotties have a few pictures to help you make your decision. Most of the pics are pretty small and unimpressive, but they serve their purpose.
Once you settle on a gal, click her thumbnail and you'll either see a preview video (if the babe's getting ready to perform) or a great-quality live feed coming directly to you from her bedroom. You purchase points ($2 per point, with better rates in larger packages) and cash them in for private shows, chats and the like. The average is around $4/minute, though you'll find some babes a little higher and a little lower.
The first model I spoke to was in the middle of making herself squirt. It was one hell of a first impression, as she was gushing like a geyser. I could have watched her all day, but duty called, so I checked out some other chicks who were friendly, stunning and more than willing to be naughty on camera. I particularly enjoyed watching one webcam beauty toy her pussy to orgasm. Did I mention she was using a dildo that I controlled remotely? Two-way chat is also available, which means both cam2cam and two-way audio.
While I generally enjoyed my stay on the site, there were a couple things that bothered me. For one, some of the feeds don't appear to be high-def despite being advertised as such. Another thing was that some of the girld were typing to me using Japanese characters that wouldn't display properly, so I had no idea what they were saying.
Many of the gals can communicate in English just fine, but some don't understand it at all, making a prviate chat difficult, to say the least (which makes the free chat that much more important to get to know the chick before going private). Overall, Sakura Live is a pretty good cam site and one that will particularly please those of you who can't get enough of cute Japanese chicks.

The girls are stunning and friendly and the video quality is good. But the cons outweigh the pros. Here are some of the problems I had: -The Price: I wouldn't mind paying up to $4 for a private show but the problem is just the initial chat stage costs money. Compare that to other sites where you can talk to the girls before you start a show, this is definitely a minus in my book. The prices are higher than normal as is, and then to charge even for private chats is annoying. -Audio Quality: I tried two different rooms and in both of them, there was a massive delay on my audio. Girls were asking me questions and then thinking I didn't hear them or didn't understand them, which meant a lot of repeating before they finally heard my response. -Japanese text entry: This was really annoying. If you know and can type in Japanese, you're in a good position to chat with the girls since it's their native language. The problem is that the characters don't show up on the chat box until you hit enter, which makes it difficult to type in Japanese. Overall, I was extremely disappointed. Again, the women on the site are amazing -- very friendly, very willing to please and the video and sound quality (at least on their end) is excellent. But with the amount of time you spend just making introductions with the girls and trying to figure out that the mic doesn't really work on your end, by the time you actually get to a private show, you could end up spending $50-70 for a show that would cost you $10 on a competing site (and that's estimating high).

The site does offer promise in theory; however charging just to initially chat and then having the model stroll around the room after telling me to 'just wait', while the points balance drops to zero is not likely to see me coming back.
