Asana Mamoru – Gekkan Asana Mamoru (November 27th, 2009)
E-Net Frontier
Catalog # – JENF – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 76 Minutes
The Skinny: There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that Asana Mamoru is likely going to have a grand career in the world of gravure modeling. I mean you can just tell by looking at her. She’s going to be a big, big star. If you liked Hana Haruna, you’re going to love Asana Mamoru. Assuming of course that she doesn’t quit the industry in disgust.

Miyu Watanabe – First Love (October 23rd, 2009)
E-Net Frontier
Catalog # – ENFD-5170 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 77 minutes (main chapters + extras)
The Skinny: My first impression was that this was a rather well made DVD. No new ground was broken technically which means that this video is a lot like so many others that we’ve reviewed. That’s the bad news. The good news is that this video is free of the excessive directorial and editing gimmicks that often diminish the value of a gravure video.
My second impression is that Miiyu Watanabe (left), a budding and pretty gravure idol and Erika Toda (right), a rising star in Japanese television drama series look alike. What do think?

Mikie Hara – Umi to, Mikie to, Taiyo to (October 20th, 2009)
Line Communications / I-One
Catalog # – LCDV-40931 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 65 Minutes
The Skinny: This is the first of Mikie Hara‘s recent double release from I-One. Yes, we are again in Bali – no surprise there, as Bali has become even more popular with the Japanese production houses than ever. Let’s have a look at Mikie, in all her splendor.
The first of the main chapters opens with Mikie playing spiritedly on the beach. And there’s some long shadows. Likely when they started it was morning.

Mikie Hara – Moso Days (October 20th, 2009)
Line Communications / I-One
Catalog # LCDV-40392 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 74 Minutes
The Skinny: While Mikie Hara plays a hostess on regular, or maybe I should say late night Japanese TV in the currently running series, Jyouou Virgin, her Double DVD release was perfectly timed by I-One to hit the shelves on October 20th, right in the midst of the series. A nice marketing ploy by Line Communications.
However, Mikie Hara doesn’t need a gimmick to sell her videos. But maybe they really rushed this one out, as part of a double release, so it would appear during the TV series, because this DVD is kind of flawed. More

Anri Sugihara – Big Love (October 30th, 2009)
Spice Visual / Mare
Catalog $ – MMR 88 – Region 2 Disc – 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 84 Minutes
The Skinny: Wow – start with a beautiful girl, a gorgeous Balinese resort, her wonderful smile, lots of eye-contact, her outstanding personality and playfulness, and these huge breasts – and when you’re done mixing you’ll have a winning gravure idol DVD.
After the thrill ride that we’ll call the montage, the first chapter starts. Anri appears in a Japanese girl’s school uniform – white blouse, red tie, plaid skirt, knee socks, and loafers. She’ll tweak out a short song on a recorder which is a cross between a flute and a clarinet. Then she’ll flirt outrageously. Actually this is the weakest scene in the whole video.
