The Skinny: We’ll we meet our star at the airport. We hang out until the scheduled departure time arrives and we are called to board the plane.  That’s Mikie flashing her best Boarding Pass Smile below.

We sit right next to her on the plane and best of all we even enter the hotel room in Saipan with her. Of course by now you’ve more than figured out that  someone else was holding the camera, and you are only watching the DVD made from his and Mikie’s efforts much later. So it is okay to be disappointed as reality finds you viewing a video in the comfort of your own home or apartment. But make no mistake – watching Mikie Hara has to be all good.

So much for the ‘appetizer’. Let’s move on to the entrees. There’s plenty on the menu. The Beach, Pool, Bath, Shower, Sports, and Bedroom scenes all do a great job a showing off Mikie’s beautiful figure and winning smile.

The opening chapter featured Mikie posing in the hotel room. It was quite good despite the artificiality of the scene. Mikie arrives in the hotel room, sets down her suitcase, runs to the window then begins to strip. Question – what are these three little buttons on her panties for? Mikie shows us three of the bikinis she’ll be wearing later on in the video.

A quick trip to the swimming pool follows immediately. The weather as the scene begins has blue skies, but later they’re no longer blue as the sky is dull. And this is immediately followed by a massage.

Maybe it rained while Mikie was getting the massage, because when we next see her, she outside on a basketball court which has puddles galore. Some warm-up jogging, some practice dribbling, then finally a shot. Mikie claps as if it went in but we don’t get to see it. I guess that fills her exercise quota for the day because she the poses in the red bikini along the chain-link fence that surrounds the basketball court.

Mikie takes a shower next. She wears a black one piece bathing suit for her shower-wear.

Then, even though she’s just showered, it’s back outdoors for more exercise. Mikie wears a blue leotard to jump rope in. She’s not too good, but she tries hard and looks great.

In the same scene (same costume at least) they have her using one of those beach balls to sit on, to bounce on, and to do limbering up stretches.

Next chapter finds Mikie on a beach. She’s wearing a cute bikini – floral print on a white background. This scene was delightful and can easily be called one of this DVD’s highlights.

At this point – we are halfway through – things get a little mysterious. After the beach and the sand, Mikie takes a bath.

Then post bath she’ll pose in a different bedroom.  Then following that, there’s yet another bedroom scene. Mikie wears pajamas and even though it is daylight, she’s going to take a nap. As the camera veers off, there’s a fade out and then a dream sequence begins.

Supposedly this is a younger Mikie as she’s dressed in a school uniform. She’s a bit shy but no matter – she’s going to strip down to a bikini and play on a beach. How do I know it’s a dream sequence? Easy. As this scene fades to a close, the next thing we see is Mikie back in the same bed wearing the same buttoned-to-the-throat pajamas.

Eventually Mikie will get rid of the pj bottoms and top and pose in a bikini. And this chapter is another highlight of the DVD. In this case it’s a matter of how she looks rather than what she’s wearing. Her face looks so captivating in this scene. And so ends the main chapters.

After thee credits there’s a 10 minute section of outtakes, bloopers, and behind the scenes. Nothing to knock your socks off, but Mikie is gorgeous, so more screen-time is a nice bonus.

Summary: Mikie looks great as usual, and despite this being a standard Gravure Idol video, you’ll like it. I’ve found that watching Mikie Hara is always a feel good experience. This isn’t Mikie’s best DVD but is it still worthy enough to garner a four point zero rating. Enjoy.
