Liverpool Production
Catalog # – LPFD-183 – Region 2 Disc – 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 62 Minutes

The Skinny: Say what you will about Anri Sugihara, it’s not of concern to me. Enhanced bust or otherwise, I still thinks she’s a beauty, and I’ve liked most of her DVDs. Her magnificent, huge bust will certainly be a valid reason to like her; but it’s sheer size shouldn’t dampen your enthusiasm for her. But if it does, you surely have noticed that big busts are the standard rather than the exception in this blog, so why are you here?

The DVD begins with Anri in a short skirt and a white long sleeve blouse. She’s in a run-down part of town in a coastal city. She’ll pause before running up the steps. At a landing on the staircase not far from the roof, she’ll take off her pantie hose and put on a fresh one. When she gets to the roof, the see-through gimmick begins. The camera can see through her clothes, or so they want us to think. After a while she comes down from the roof. Fade out.

In the second stanza, we are in a well-appointed apartment. Anri comes down the stairs in a cute outfit which shows off her boobs. Her shorts are emblazoned with the word HONEY across her tail. Anri looks very cute and very sexy. But there’s no see-through effect in play here.

Three has us out in the country, Anri wears an elaborate pink kimono. Here they play the see through for all they can. We can see her in her bra. Then the bra goes and we have Anri bra-less, but with a good part of her boobs uncovered beneath the kimono.
Next is a beach sequence on Okinawa. Anri wears a small yellow bikini which struggles to contain it’s payload. This is the playful Anri. She’s active, she’s high spirited, and of course, she’s displaying her huge cleavage throughout.
This is followed by a scene where Anri wears polka dot bikini bottoms and a cut-down South Carolina County tee shirt which is cut high enough to expose almost all of the lower half of her breasts. She sits on a chair, then sits in a hammock chair. In a closeup we see that her panties have strawberries on them. We find out why soon enough.

As the scene ends she shows us a bowl of strawberries and a can of whipped cream. When see her next, she’s bare-boobed except for the massive amount of whipped cream which covers her boobs. When the creams start to fall off, they put up a Keep Out Sign. It’s a playful scene with Anri eating the strawberries.
Next is another See Through Mode chapter. Anri goes into a room to change clothes. It is a locker room. Off comes the short skirt, off comes her top. Anri is now wearing just panties and a bra. There’s no see through now, but she does bring a king size towel out of the locker, and she wraps her self in it this towel. Now her bra and panties come off. What’s next?
Anri will now climb into a one piece bathing suit. Aha!, you say… …this is the locker-room for a indoor swimming pool club. You’d be half right. It is an outdoor pool. Either way, Anri looks good in that tight, clinging swim suit.
It’s kind of a short scene and what follow is an interview/q&a. There’s some text and Anri answers questions. I can’t read the text or tell you what’s she talking about – but she looks good.
Next Anri appears indoors wearing the same blouse and skirt as we saw her in the opening chapter. Once again she’s going to remove her pantie hose. This time she will willing open and remove her blouse and skirt. So has the see-through gimmick been tossed aside?
Answer to follow; we are about 43 some minutes through the DVD when this scene ends. And it was well done as Anri trotted at her best smiles and best alluring poses we’ve seen so far in the DVD. Only the camera movements were too quick, and the low light hindered my attempts at grabbing better stills.

We next find Anri on a pool table as the next chapter. She’ll put on her brand new high-top sneakers, then climb off the table. Looks like she’ll be playing nine ball. Sadly she’s not good at the game at all. She scratches the break shot and hits nothing. Forgetting about her prowess with a pool cue is easy to do, but you won’t forget her in a small bikini bending over the tabel to try to knock a few balls into the pockets.

In the next chapter, Anri portrays a bar hostess girl. She’s suitably attired in a low-cut dress. She’ll amp up the flirting as she’s a hostess and is paid to entertain us. Drinking, serving us food, and looking interested are all part of the job. Turns out she likes us. Conveniently there’s a hotel right next door. Anri gladly comes with us. Upstairs in the room, she soon heads for the bathroom and we hear the showering running but we aren’t going to see her bathe. Shortly after Anri crawls into our bed and looks playfully under the sheets.
And then we get a nice round of glamour posing. Anri wears only a silk and satin bra and panties ensemble. She looks ever so alluring.
We are at the 55 minute mark, and Anri will talk to us once more briefly. Then the credit rolls (all in Japanese characters). 5 minutes remain. What we get in the post credits is the whole DVD crew and Anri out for dinner at club. This is the standard wrap party. They serve some dishes that Anri seems to be a wee bit unsure of what she’s eating. I’m not too sure either. Except for the next to last dish – we can clearly see a small shark’s head!!!
Summary: As usual, Anri Sugihara can deliver an entertaining DVD. She’s great looking, has those huge boobs, and her sweet smile. She knows how to attract men – and men will enjoy her on DVD -of this we are positive.
What we are not positive about is the sound track on this DVD. Virtually every scene had the ambient sounds LEFT IN. Automobile traffic, power equipment, air conditioners, compressors, and even the noises of other patrons at the bar or restaurant. Yes, they added music tracks to the existing sounds in every scene but notice that I said added rather than replaced. The bothersome noises remained.
But since we aren’t paying that much attention to what we hear in a IV DVD, we won’t let that influence or downgrade the rating too much. There’s two other detriments, the 1st a puzzle, was why did they bother with the see-through gimmick, and then abandon it so early. The second is the all-too obvious patches of material sewn into the inside of the bikini bra cups so Anri’s nipples don’t poke into prominence. I can live with the inserted pad, must it be so obvious that we can clearly see it? Despite these relatively benign glitches, I’ll still give Anri a four point two five for her work; it is the production team that cost the overall DVD a quarter point.

Ahhhh… JMM, you just can’t imagine the service you provide to the unsuspecting world by pointing out these incredible ladies!!!
Well, I know Anri is not… filling her G cups (at least she’s modest) on her own… but as I’ve always said, IF the girl is gonna get help, she better blow ‘em up!! (I can’t understand girls going through the problems of Cosmetic Surgery for a measly B or C cup =p) and Ms Sugihara certainly got the right size!
Thanks for the Anri’s reviews, I’ll try to check her IVs!!!!
I don’t know whether I would be in the majority or the minority on this topic, but I prefer the post-op Anri to the pre-op Anri. (Big surprise given my penchant for Nonami Takizawa, Mizuki Horii, Hana Haruna, Harumi Nemoto, MEGUMI and the like)
Even though Anri has obviously been enhanced on the operating table, I would nominate hers as perhaps the most successful boob-job in the history of cosmetic surgery. Those augmented puppies are convincingly natural looking!
Either way, Anri has a stunningly beautiful and “happy” face, and watching her in action for an hour-or-so is a real treat.
This is a sexy, fun-filled DVD, and I like it a lot … in spite of its flaws.
I think she’s a terrific model. She’s worked with I-One, Liverpool, Cute & Honey, and E-Net Frontier among others.
I wonder if she has done a DVD for Takeshobo?
She’s not quite on the A-List yet of Gravure Idols yet, but I think she’s worth following . This is the 4th reveiw I’ve done of her.
jmm
I dunno if she’s going to reach the A-List as you call it, but then, the real A-list is way off base from most of the idols reviewed here – the most popular idols tend to be a little less gifted in the chest department: idols like Hoshino Aki and Ogura Yūko are for more in the public consciousness than Takizawa Nonami or Matsugane Yōko. The idol with the biggest boobs who is regularly seen would probably be Koike Eiko, although she’s long since retired and would probably be more properly classified as “tarento”. Recently, among the oppai-set, Hara Mikie has been getting a huge push for the last couple of months for some reason – you can’t open any of the weeklies without having some kind of pictorial of her in the magazine. But I digress….
Anri certainly has a pretty face, there is no doubt. As for the enhanced boobs, well, no one’s perfect. Harada Ōrei had a solid run with her scientifically enhanced bosom and she was one of my favorites until she went on to become a weather girl. Same for Oda Arisa before she turned. Anri is great looking and has a pretty good screen presence so I don’t see why she couldn’t do quite well in the kyonyū idol niche for a time to come/.
Zatoichi is entirely correct – I have my A-List, and most likely Japan has theirs. I’m also certain that most of the readers of this column are outside of Japan. But there are readers in Japan. Some of them even comment on this board.
I’ve seen Aki Hoshino on DVD. I’ve also seen her on Japanese TV when I was in Japan. It was sort of a travel show – 2 guys and a girl traveling around Japan in a van. No, not a drama series, but more like reality TV show. Was pretty good too.
As for Yoko Ogura – the 30 something in age, going on 16 in looks. I think she’s like a living embodiment of a ‘manga’ girl. I don’t deny that is wildly popular in Japan, but I am not in a position to explain it.
But Ogura-san is not likely to get a review from me.
As for Mikie Hara, she’s just the perfect fit for both TV and for gravure. I’ve seen Koike, and MEGUMI in TV series, and they seem to have found a niche. Good for them. Natsume and Nemoto also appear on TV often, I’m told – but more likely on game shows.
I’d still like to see Hiroko Sato get some more work in TV.
jmm
I think you’re confusing Ogura Yūko and Hoshino Aki: Yūko is in her early twenties and plays to her youthful looks. Aki is a respectable F-cup but looks like she’s in her early 20s despite being roughly a decade older. Mikie, who I must admit does nothing for me, isn’t so much on TV but just in magazines everywhere.
AFAIK (I don’t watch that much TV) MEGUMI and Harumi are not regulars on anything at the moment – the former is expecting her first child and the latter I’m not sure. Eiko has found several announcing gigs, most of which have to do with MMA. Like most idols, Rio occasionally appears on comedy or variety shows but is by no means a regular. Just eye-candy. Idols get bit parts or supporting roles in productions of various quality relatively easily, but it’s rare for any of them to make it big out side of the genre.
Sato Hiroko has retired from modeling, apparently.
Guilty as charged Your Honor – I am confused – but at least I was right about one of them being older and looking younger.
