Running Time: 79 Minutes

The Skinny: Right out of the box, it is a tad confusing. An unseen guy is turned away from a hotel which claims it is fully booked. He heads for another hotel where he meets a stewardess, played by Rio Natsume in the lobby. I believe she offers to share her room with him (us) which launches the montage. Once that footage starts rolling you’ll see Rio Natsume’s BEST montage ever. In fact, I could illustrate the entire review just from the montage and still knock your socks off. I think you’re going to like this one. Sorry – let me rephrase: I think you’re going to LOVE this DVD.

As the main chapters begin, Rio enters a hotel room as the stewardess in uniform. At this point we still don’t where the video has been shot, but hey, we’re in a hotel room with a busty babe. We can fill in the blanks later after Cabin Attendant Rio sheds her uniform. I didn’t much care for the pantie hose, or some of the low-angle shots shown in this chapter. Nor could I figure out, at the nine minute mark, why we were hearing such various sound effects as insects and a steam locomotive before Rio made a Stewardess announcement. Then we heard the sound of the ocean pounding the shoreline. All of these sounds while in a hotel room – I can’t explain it. Of course you can lower the sound and just concentrate on Rio’s figure in silence.

Well, maybe the ocean sounds we heard in the previous chapter were either an error or a precursor because Chapter Two was a beach & bikini scene. Maybe the unstated title for this chapter was supposed to be, “Show off your boobs Rio!”, because that’s pretty much what this chapter was about. Some jogging, some crawling on hands and knees, then most of the rest was the Natsume bust up close. Naturally she kept her top on.

Three is back upstairs in the hotel room. Rio wears a sweater over her red bra and panties. Once you see this chapter you’ll likely be asking yourself, much as I did, why did they bother with the sweater? Eventually it does come off.

Next we have Rio in a bikini posing in front of a derelict satellite tower. Our director has fallen in love with the low angle shot looking up. This particular shot of Rio’s derriere should serve to show all you budding or future directors and cinematographers why men love shots like these.

You may practice at home with your own woman.

Five finds Rio dancing up a storm under the rich blue sky and a stand of conveniently placed palm trees. We then come to discover that Rio is wearing two bikinis, one over the other. The outer one is peeled away leaving Rio in the smaller one. She ends up in a completely drained swimming pool. They also toss in some hi-jinx with a real coconut in close proximity with Rio’s personal coconuts. There’s lots of facial closeups, and more importantly, there’s lots of closeups of Rio’s impossibly big twins.

Rio gets a massage next. While the masseuse had her hands filled, literally, Rio’s costume was a ridiculous frilly affair, at least the front of the bikini bra was that. Also the event took place in a bedroom which meant not much sunlight. After the massage Rio crawls around in the bed which was treat. We were then treated to a few more low angle shots of the Natsume tail assembly. Rio also playfully loosens her bra top but without taking it off.

After that everyone needed a some time out by the pool. Rio wears a small blue bikini. They stick to their successful game plan which means lots of boobs and buns on display. Sorry for that less than eloquent terminology – but it seems more succinct than saying the camera was aimed at Ms Natsume’s breasts and buttocks repeatedly.

From the swimming pool we head for the bathtub as the locale for the next scene. Rio is kind enough to wear a bra and panties set for this chapter. When the music (a solo piano which we hear throughout the video) stops,  some one pours some liquid soap into Rio’s cleavage. Soon the violins and other stringed instruments begin along with that ubiquitous piano (again) as Rio has some soap added to her hindquarters. She will press against the shower stall glass while still in the tub. Then she takes off her top.

I think this has become a Rio staple as it seems to happen in all of her recent videos. Don’t take this as a complaint as it isn’t.

In the next chapter we find Rio in a black body stocking trimmed with a pink ribbon over a bra and panties. It’s kind of an exotic costume, and they’ve located Rio near an indoor pool and then in a room for massages.  She’s not that active but her costume won’t last the full scene in one piece as Rio begins to tear it up while she is still in it.

The last chapter has Rio on the beach in a pink bustier, stockings, garter belt, and panties. Take note of the two pompoms that swing from the garter belt on her derriere. Rio takes off the stockings and lays back on the beach. We are treated to more views of her cleavage and  butt. It is very late in the day and the sunlight is fading. We don’t get a glorious sunset, and as the chapter ends it seems as though they really didn’t have a good ending in mind as Rio looks kind of lost.

The credits roll next and here is when we find out that the video was shot in Saipan in the Northern Marianas. There’s a few minutes of behind the scenes which sadly are just about useless visually; at least in the sense that I won’t capture any images from this segment for you as none were worthy. We do see that Rio bought a pair of eye glasses and we learn she needs the glasses to drive a car.

Summary – While I loved the views of Rio’s figure which has never looked better, I think Rio herself looked tired at least some of the time. The gambit that they opened with (the traveler who couldn’t get a hotel room until he met Rio) lasted for the first scene in the hotel room and then the next scene on the beach and was then abandoned. The video was also burdened by the music which wasn’t up to par at all. And we heard those head-scratching audio effects which I still don’t understand.

However lest you think that I am trying to hammer this Rio DVD with all sorts of flaws, I will state that despite the flaws, Rio’s figure is far too impressive for me to not give her a recommendation for this DVD. Four point zero is the rating.
