Yoko Matsugane – Houyoron (2008)
For-side.com/Cutie
Catalog # FDGD-234 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
74 minutes plus extras
The Skinny: Yoko Matsugane is back and JustMeMike has her in his site (pun intended). Well actually, I have her in sight on my tv. She looks as fit as ever. And as busty as you could ever wish for. Not to mislead you, this is far from a perfect DVD, but Yoko fans, world over, can rejoice as she’s back in form. This is the Yoko with the weight lost now returned and in all the right places.
There’s a few repetitive themes that run throughout the DVD from For-side.com entitled Houyoron. These represent what the director loves most. First he goes for the crotch shot in nearly every scene. Check out (above) a very typical shot from the 1st Chapter featuring Yoko in a red top and red panties.
“Show us your panties, Yoko”, must be the oft heard direction that Yoko had to respond to again and again…only he’s saying it in Japanese.
“Yoko, layback, and run your hands lightly over your boobs”, or as he might have said, oppai. Fortunately for us, Yoko complies. Again and again.
The second chapter features Yoko posing in a natural setting. Her green bikini matches up perfectly with the Okinawan flora. Take note of her figure – no rib bones in sight, a lightly rounded tummy, and no stark hip bones projecting either, plus her attention getting breasts are always prominently displayed.
The third Chapter is really divided into two parts. First, Yoko shows off her boobs in a yellow bikini by raising up her tee-shirt.
Then in the second part she abandons the tee shirt completely for a delightful high-energy romp on the beach. By that I mean that not only is Yoko quite active, but also the camera is in motion continually circling around her which gives us an ever-changing background (if you can take your eyes off Yoko).
Back in the bedroom for the next scene, Yoko wears a pink top, pink panties, and pink and black stockings to the knees. While this entire scene takes place in one location – a bed – Yoko is only asked to show off her panties and crotch often, followed by a lengthy sequence of her fondling herself. She periodically talks to us, but her voice track is rather low, and most of the time it isn’t easy to hear her voice plus you’d need to understand Japanese to get the full value of what she’s saying.
The following scene has Yoko wearing a crazy patchwork fur scarf over a bikini. The action in this scene is exactly like the one before, crotch presentation and boob fondling only she’s not in bed. Instead she’s on the tile floor of a hallway.
After spending considerable time on the floor, Yoko needs a bath. She wears a one piece costume with buttons from the neckline to below her navel – all of which are unbuttoned.
She spends most of the scene is a bathtub, and while the scene is slow paced and languid, it is a little dull. Despite her top being unbuttoned, you just know that you won’t see any more of her breasts than they want to show us.
Back on the shore – Yoko works out for us. A large ball is used as a seat and plenty of boob bouncing occurs, Then a hula hoop. And then some aerobics. Yoko wears a bold red bikini. Her bikini bra has a daunting task which is to hold in her massive boobs. If you are a boob man, this scene will amaze you. The only negative is that what ever exercise Yoko performs, she’s counting out loud in Japanese.
Another great scene for boob men is next. Yoko’s in a white bikini and she’s set up in some sort of back lot which might be used for some sort of street market at night. While we are there, it is just a series of empty tables. We see other buildings in the background and an occasional car drives by. While Yoko looks wonderful, I thought this scene was too stagy, in other words artifiical.
Next a puzzling scene. Yoko wears a bra and panties and she doesn’t do much more than sit on a toilet. Yes, there’s the obligatory crotch shot segment, and the obligatory boob fondling segment. But I think you lose the value of the model when you set her up in a dingy location. In my opinion, a beautiful woman should be posed in beautiful settings – whether indoors or out. While her costume is certainly sexy – the setting is definitely not.
Just three more scenes remain at this point. Another bust-centric scene follows. Yoko wears a white blouse, buttoned just below her bust.
This shirt is designed to flaunt her imposing cleavage and will delight all of Yoko’s fans.
Back in the bedroom, Yoko opens the next scene lying on her back. She’ll be using her arms to ‘gather up’ her bust. So this too is another scene for you big breasts fans. Having Yoko appear in skimpy dark lingerie and fish net stockings on a stark white sheet only adds to her allure.
The closing chapter of the main body of the DVD has Yoko on the beach. The Okinawan setting is magnificent with its unusual rock formations. Yoko begins with a pretty pink wrap over her pale blue bikini. The major part of this chapter has Yoko fondling her boobs.
The DVD has three extra segments. First a slide show which has some nice shots only they’re too small. Then 2 making of/behind the scenes bonus clips which were OK at best, or nothing to write home about.
Summary: A very good Yoko Matsugane DVD. It’s nice that there was a lot of attention paid to her magnificent bust. She looks great is the simplest way to describe her in this DVD. On the down-side there was too many repetitive scenes, too much talking, and some less than desirable locations or sets. But those are directorial choices. So we won’t fault Yoko for those.
Some of her fans were expecting an increase in the raunch-factor given the direction that some of Yoko’s more recent releases had shown. Well it didn’t happen. This is a gravure DVD that does not push the envelope, or peel away too many layers. There was a brief ‘camel-toe’ shot early on, but that was it. Yoko, despite the self-fondling and despite the many open-legged shots, does not come off as an AV-wannabe in this DVD.
I will recommend this DVD heartily and score it as a four point zero. Her long term fans will like this one. Below are links to buy this DVD.

Nice review as always,but I’d disagree with Rambo,this isn’t one of her best,but for her fans she has moved back to her “comfort zone” …..but I did get the feeling it was by the numbers and going through the motions,and not as good or inventive as her other recent dvd’s….I just worry now that she has an eye firmly set on retirement,which would be a sad loss to gravure…

Well nothing lasts forever. Yoko will move on at some point in time. What Mother Nature gives in the way of youthful beauty, as time passes, Mother Nature also gives weight gain and loss of firmness.
Still it will have been a great run by a magnificent woman. In my opinion – given the length of her carer – Yoko Matsugane will be remembered for a long time once she hangs up bikinis.
Hopefully we are not there yet.
As for Rambo’s ratings – I still like Rio Natsume (watch for review of Naked soon), and I still like Mizuki Horii, but I think these two have been surpassed by Nonami Takizawa (watch for review of My Darling).
Thanks to both of you for your comments and readership.

Great review, and I agree, Mike. Some of the locations were a bit perplexing (e.g., bathroom) and there’s still too much emphasis on the crotch shots for my personal taste, but there are some excellent moments. I thought the exercise vignette was outstanding, and if I were putting together an hour-long “best of” compilation of Yoko, that scene would be on it.
Plus, Yoko looks great again–healthy–which is a big relief.
Thanks!

Thanks for the comments Argyle. I know you are a committed Yoko fan, so despite the less than perfect directorial choices, you would enjoy seeing the full bodied Yoko perform once again.
I liked the exercise scene too. The boob joggling as she sat and bounced on the ball was great for watching but less the perfect for grabbing a great vidcap.
Still, I’m not complaining about that. Yoko on screen for an hour plus is a wonderful experience for all who view the DVD.

Well… first of all, excuse me for my grammar mistakes
Its just my idea, or Yoko is jut going the same way as Hitomi tanaka and Rin Aoki. You know, shes now doing that pseudo porn stuff in all her dvds (and i love that xD)
Just curious to know your opinion master yoda =)

Hello thanks for the comments.
I think Yoko has been around long enough to have ‘already’ have crossed over into JAV if she were so inclined. Or from another perspective, her popularity is surely well known to JAV producers. Likely they’ve already tried to sign her up and failed.
Plus she doesn’t tell me her plans, so I’ve really no true clue.
