It also depends on the star power of the model. Yoko Matsugane has settled into a mode of pushing the envelope. But Nonami Takizawa has not. Miri Hanai seemingly takes more artistic chances than does Rio Natsume. And so forth.

Rui Kiriyama’s birthdate is January 15, 1991 – so she became 18 just this year. So her Pure Smile, and the Vanilla DVDs were made before she was of age meaning she was too young to be connected to anything either suggesting or implying sexual activity. It appears that her management team knows what they have and have done a splendid job of setting her up to become a big time player in the gravure industry. IMHO of course —

As for the 100% natural… well, that and the Japanese cup size system is something the fans will invest countless hours talking about it but with no one having access to any conclusive proof…. I’ve seen pictures of Rui with Chiri Arikawa and others with Miho Takai (the other 2 huge bust U20 girls), both of them a year older and taller/bigger and a bit bustier than Rui herself, and Chiri and Miho’s boobs are more “sit bolt upright, all stiff and hard looking”, of course, every girl is different, but in my mind, Kiriyama has the perfect natural shape (heck, all three are in a reasonable size range, they’re not Hitomi or Fuko -theirs might be real, but I understand people doubting them-) Although I bet the producers know some enhancing tricks, push up bras and maybe that tape that holds breast higher, make up, etc.

Talking about upcoming releases, Hana’s cover for the new disc looks fantastic!! Hopefully, the video will be up to par. I think Nonami should have had a DVD in April to avoid the double releases, but who knows what benefits there is in doing that… this is shaping to be a great summer for gravure idols fans!!

I think Takizawa will continue to turn out good releases. I am troubled by the continued double releases. That means more than 20 scenes and there’s bound to be some less successful than others.

But Takizawa is just doing what Matsugane and Natsume have been doing for years. Double releases.

On the other hand, Hana Haruna did not get a double release, Her most recent was clearly shot at the same time as the previous release (same costume in both) and it wasn’t as good as the one before.

Speaking of pre-ordering, if you buy with a credit card they don’t charge your acct until the items ship.

And yes, the comments about Rui are all very favorable. I really was impressed with her. I hope and it seems inevitable that Air Control and Takeshobo will also offer her deals. In a comment above, Zak asked if I thought Rui was 100% natural. I do think so.

But I can’t guarantee that or certify it. What I can say is that for sure, she’s going to be a star in the gravure world.

I’ll be brief. I agree with your review because she is beautiful and has a great body, so, if this is how she’s going to be in the GI world there’s no doubt that she wll be with us a long time.

Also, I see some similarity with the early days of Nonami and your words about the raised popularity of her when she gained weight are very, very true (that was the point of no return for me^^).

I would be glad to get this dvd but my recent purchases of Ms. Aizawa’s dvd’s and my pre-order of both Nonamin uncoming productions let me with nothing of cash (It’s a shame but I couldn’t resist the covers…). By the way, about these last, what do you think?… there’s hopes for great releases like previous “Itazura na Shizen”?, because I do hope for something “big” (or somethings?…^^).

As I said, a very good review.

Greetings.

So you think she’s undergone some enhancement?

I disagree. But that is just my opinion. But I am without any 1st hand knowledge. High, ful,l and firm are the signs of a youthful woman.

Let’s see how she looks in a year. or two.

So to answer your question, I cannot ‘confirm’ either way.
Thanks for the comments.

What was your opinion ?

When I said ‘lacked creativity’ I didn’t mean that as a negative. The I-One series has long been recognized as the de facto leader in gravure DVDs along with the Takeshobo productions. The new kids in town, Air Control and E-Net Frontier are not really new, but they are newer than I-One and Takeshobo. And these are the outfits that have pushed the envelope, utilizing goos, gels, objects etc.

Meanwhile, when you buy I-One, you know that they will have high production values, that they will put up the models and crews in some of the finer resorts, and the finished products will look good. So what I really meant was that they stick to a wonderful game plan with not a lot of variances. They don’t have to be new or try things out, hence the lack creativity. I really mean – they don’t take chances.

I’ll agree that Rui might be prettier, but Nonami’s career really jumped into gear when she gained some weight. If Rui adds a few more pounds and they go to her bust and hips, she’ll be a worthy successor to Takizawa.

She does look like a young (Pure Smile era) Nonamin, and I’ll go out a limb and say Rui is even prettier, but Nonami developed from a pretty girl onto an awesomely beautiful lady, and we’ll know about Miss Kiriyama in a couple of years… I’ll up the ante and say that Rui has a baby face-ish cuteness quality to her that puts her also into Rio’s territory… anyways, Rui’s stunning figure and cute face is enough to earn a name for herself!!

Thanks for the review and for bringing up Gravure’s best kept secret!!
