Rather than going VCV, might I advise that your next step be CVVC instead? CVVC can be just as smooth as VCV and means less and easier recordings. The oto skills you learn from the CVVC style can be transferred into VCV (and CVVC means that you'll be able to do multiple languages if you wish, whereas VCV is only really suitable for Japanese).

I have plans to create a full set of resources for creating a jpn CVVC bank, but at this point in time, I only have the reclist completed. If you are willing to talk to me privately (over something like skype or twitter DM), I can guide you through the process right now.

There's more than one way to record it and everyone has their own preference, but I prefer the 2 mora way (it may be longer, but if you make a mistake, you don't have to rerecord long strings).

- v = standalone vowel
v_v = transitional vowel. record these without pause
cv_cv = record these without any long pauses in between
cv = record as you would normal cv

As with any recording style, allow at least 500ms (half a second) of silence before the sound itself to allow for easier otoing.

Otoing - I'm going to point you to this resource on otoing (no visual representations) as far as getting a smooth CV result: http://utaforum.net/resources/jeys-otoing-tips-and-tricks.157/

Hopefully this gives you an idea as far as the VC portion...

f, j, sh, s, h, z, r, n, m - fricative, soft, and nasal consonants in general should generally be white and extend up to the following vowel.

hard consonants such as t, d, g, k, b, p, etc. should be like the picture above.
