Mikie Hara – Love Assort (January 20th, 2012)

I-One (Line Communications)

Catalog # – LCDV-40501) – All regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 72 Minutes

The Skinny: Wow! Mikie Hara‘s career as a gravure idol stretches all the way back to 2006 when her DVD for Nihon Broadcasting‘s Nettelegenic Series was released in June that year. That means we’ve been watching her for nearly five years. While the quality of the her DVDs has sometimes been great and other times not so great – you regularly come away thinking that Mikie always looks good even when the video doesn’t. To the best of my knowledge Mikie has appeared in at least 22 gravure DVDs not counting those I didn’t see and not counting Box Sets. That’s quite a body of work

This DVD has a montage, which the Japanese always count as a chapter. Anyway you count it – it works quite well.

Folllowing  that, in Chapter Two, we meet Mikie at the local high school’s swimming pool. We’ve been to this pool many times with a lengthy list of gravure models who appeared there. No bikini for Mikie this time. Instead she wears a black and blue mono-kini – that’s when the top is attached to the bottom but with plenty of bare flesh showing in between. While the scene is nicely done – good color, nice lighting, and it shows off Mikie’s curves to good advantage, I would have preferred something other than just a plain unadorned piano solo as the sound track.

Rui Kiriyama – Boku no H (January 20th, 2012)

I-One (Line Communications)

Catalog # – LCDV-40502 – All Regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 71 Minutes

The Skinny – She’s back. Yes we have Rui Kiriyama back on our screens. This brand new DVD released in Japan on January 20th, arrived at my home in Florida on January 20th. Kudos to both Amazon.co.jp and DHL for the prompt delivery.

As for Rui – this is another one of her eye popping DVDs. She pretty much sticks to the tried and the true stuff that she does so well and that her fans know and can’t get enough of; so don’t be expecting anything new or cutting edge. It’s just not happening. And yes, this is another one of her DVDs that has the letter ‘H’ in the title. No surprise there. In fact, aren’t all of Rui’s DVD’s titled in the same manner?

A nice montage gets things off to a good start. There’s a song playing, and we’ve heard it before, and wondered about it before. I even made it a part of a review I did on a video featuring Yurika Narahara back in June 2009. I couldn’t ID the singers then, and I still can’t. Maybe you can.

Anri Sugihara -Ambrosia Oishii Anri (October 20th, 2011)
Line Communications / I-One
Catalog # – LCDV-4088 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time : 73 Minutes

The Skinny: The Anri Sugihara double release was scheduled for release back on October 20th. It was too close to my departure time for my trip to Hong Kong and China, so I put off the ordering until I returned home. But now I am finally ready to do the reviews. I think the title of this, the first one, is saying that Anri is as delicious as Ambrosia. While I can’t quite make that comparison, I can state that Anri is quite the dish, she is truly a delicious looking woman.

Out of the box, we are treated to a lengthy (3:10) montage. This is about as long of a gravure montage as I can remember. Right after, we have Anri in a pink bikini with white dots. She’s going to do what all models do on a beach – jog, get her feet wet, roll around in the sand. In short, Anri is more than happy to show off her curves on the strand. And we? We are just thrilled to watch.

Mikie Hara – Kimi ga Subete (October 21st, 2011)

Takeshobo

Catalog # – TSDV-41383 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 84 Minutes

The Skinny: A dream vacation – Is spending time on a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean with a Gravure Idol, and an actress like Mikie Hara something you’d consider? Well, since you are already reading this review – we all know that you’d answer affirmatively. It is always a pleasure to see her in a new video. Mikie has appeared on our pages so many, many  times that it is hard to come up with something creative and interesting. But I’ll give you a nice peek at the video anyway.

This DVD, from the prolific Takeshobo studio, has 10 Chapters, a bonus chapter which in this case, is like a blooper reel, a Profile, some previews of other videos, and a set of 15 picture which you can view as a slide show. So along with Mikie’s 80 minutes, this is quite a nice package. The pictures right below are from the slide show.

Rui Kiriyama – H na Danryoko (October 19th, 2011)

Trico

Catalog # – TRID-194 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time:75 Minutes

The Skinny: Yes, Rui Kiriyama is back on our pages. This one, H na Danryoko, from Trico, is the 11th Rui title that I’ve reviewed. I was late in reviewing this one – so much so – that her next release has already been announced, at least partially. It will be from I-One, the release date is January 20th, 2012, and the cat # is LCDV-40502.

The opening main chapter we will call Playing in the Bath. Simply there’s a lot of soapsuds filling the tub which is huge and made of black marble. In contrast to the large amount of soap, Rui is wearing just a small amount of costume. This bath area is also notable for its floor to ceiling windows on at least two sides. It is a beautiful room lacking only something known as privacy.

Tomomi Nakagawa – Bakunyu Sengen!

Grab It / Orostak Soft

Catalog # – GRAB-0008 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 80 Minutes

The Skinny: Back for another go-round on our pages is the beauty Tomomi Nakagawa. The title is Bakunyu Sengen! We had our first look at Tomomi in her DVD called Gypsy. If I were to pull a quote from that review which was published in late February of 2011, I’d say, “…we get an excellent sense of what the big bust and high spirited Tomomi Nakagawa is all about. Four point zero – and I’d like to see more of this model. This DVD is recommended.”

That was then, but, apparently folks agreed with my assessment because she’s been busy. In addition to this new review, I will, in the near future, give you a look at a pair of her DVDs from before this one: Chonyu and Junction (covers are above).

The opening chapter has Tomomi on a windy beach. She’s decked out in a green and gold ensemble with a pink trim plus pink sandals. Truly a color-coordinated outfit. The top is rather clingy which is fine as it accentuates her curves.

She’s going to tease for awhile next to a rock formation on the beach. Eventually the green and gold go away leaving Tomomi in just a small bikini which is a perfect outfit for a few minutes of jogging on the beach, followed by some more restful simple posing.

Tama Mizuki – Mizuki no Kimochi (November 25th, 2011)

Air Control / Melon

Catalog # – OME-110 – All Regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 92 Minutes

The Skinny: She’s back for her 3rd release in the 2011 calendar year, and her 4th release in less than a year’s time. Tama Mizuki formerly known as Hitomi Kitamura has proven herself a successful and well loved gravure idol since her debut DVD Yurero Omoi which hit the shelves back in May 2006. Counting a few re-releases and a boxed item she has released close to 30 titles. She’s quite a popular idol. This title, Mizuki no Kimochi is a welcome addition to my collection, and marks my first review in more than a month. I’ve got a decent amount of backlog so check back often for updates.

A down-turned mouth is a sign of not being pleased. We saw this until the very last minute of the video when she thanked the crew and us.

After a rather energetic and exciting montage (2:30 minutes), our DVD gets off to a rather slow start. She’ll meet with a producer in a plain office and while we don’t see him, we hear him. They’re discussing the video and he gives her a written shooting script and schedule of the scenes. As they talk, the camera peeks between her legs and looks down from behind her into her cleavage. We hear her say ‘making’ so this first part is a documentary – reality segment. Next she leaves and heads over to wardrobe to put on her costume for the 1st scene. It’s not much of a costume, a small fuzzy sweater and brief panties. We don’t know it the moment, but we are going to get these reality segments between each of the main chapters.

Finally we get the 1st main chapter or scene. After some posing, it is mostly Mizuki bending over and we watch her breasts dangle and swing. Truly – that is most of the chapter.

Two is in a small bedroom. Mizuki wears a bikini (red and white stripes) and a cut-off shirt that reads LOVE. This scene is mostly of her jumping up and down on the bed. That’s part I. The second part is rolling around on the bed. There’s plenty of cleavage to gaze at – but the scene is shot rather unimaginatively, just like the first scene. Towards the end of the chapter, the cut-off shirt comes off and we see that her bikini top is on the small side.
