Hana Haruna – Koi Yuu Ryokou Abaren Bou Oppai (December 18th, 2009)
E-Net Frontier
Catalog # ENFD-5188 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 92 Minutes

The Skinny: The google machine translation of the title comes out: Transportation Tits Rowdy Koi. So I’ve really no idea. However it’s not really important to know the title in order to watch the video or even to order the video. Release date was 12/18 and I had this one in my hands in Florida on 12/19.

This is Hana’s 6th gravure DVD release this year. It is her first release from E-Net Frontier. She’s now been in DVDs released by I-One, Takeshobo, Saibunkan, and Air Control which means all of the major gravure producers have had her on screen.

The first thing you notice about this DVD is the excellent clarity of the images. This is easily one of the finest transfers I’ve ever seen. The second thing is that Hana talks a blue streak throughout most of the video. She mentions Saipan right away so there was no guesswork involved with that.

After the montage, we find Hana entering this beautiful home. It is high up on a plateau with lots of picture windows and a view of the island. Hana adores the place, Sugoi (amazing) she says once she’s inside, likely referencing the size of the space. She rushes over to gaze out the window to check out the view. The camera rushes over too, trying to get a good look at the view under her skirt. When she turns around the camera presses in for a closeup actually flattens her boobs under her blouse. Then the cameraman supposedly falls to the floor.

Hana calls him Senpai which means Senior and asks if he is all right. To help him feel better Hana sits down on the couch and immediately unbuttons her blouse. She’ll take off her skirt and show off her buns. Ultimately Hana reclines on the couch as the camera slowly pans up and down. Soon the blouse comes completely off too leaving her in just a bra and panties.

As the third song for this same scene begins, Hana is still on the same sofa, only now she’s up on hands and knees – the optimum position to let her boobs dangle down toward the camera. She will change position slightly so one knee is on the coffee table for more views from beneath and behind her.

Well, when this first chapter and three part scene concludes it is 13 1/2 minutes into the DVD. We then find out it was all a dream as Hana is still clothed in what we saw earlier, and still asking us if we are all right.

She then heads for the bedroom for the next chapter. We have the honor and privilege to watch her change into a bikini.There’s no music track playing while this is occuring. But this is a yellow bikini, too small on top of course. We get some jogging on the beautiful beach, and then some additional glamor posing on the sands. This scene also runs just under 13 minutes.
Three begins with Hana climbing into a van. She’s going to change out of the bikini into some sexy satin underwear. This time we are not invited to watch.
But within moments, the van door slides open, and we have a nice long scene with Hana in her undies in the back seat. They introduce a lollipop, but for once it is just a lollipop. Hana will ultimately undo the front tie for the bra which means the scene will become a partial hand-bra scene.
Next is a bath tub scene. At first Hana mildly protests our presence, but soon she seems eager and avid that we’ve joined her in the tub. Most of this scene is shot with Hana up close, and with us looking right down into her cleavage. Eventually Hana will soap up her own body.

Towards the middle of this scene we hold out a popsicle for Hana to suck on. This is done with a POV perspective, and while you can use your imagination to make this a more ‘personal’ scene, I thought that they might have avoided this as it has been done to death. Fortunately the last third of this chapter is more of the traditional soaping, scrubbing, and rinsing style.
The next chapter begins with Hana in bed. She wears a frilly blouse. Again she talk to us and calls us Senpai. She will tell us she likes us then she plants three or four kisses on us, leaving her lipstick imprints on the lens.
Soon enough normalcy returns, the lipstick imprints vanish and Hana gets down to some serious glamor posing on the bed.
Somehow the next chapter finds Hana still in bed. The scene begins somewhere past the 54 minute mark into the video. Luckily for us, she’s asleep with most of the top sheet not really covering her, wearing only panties and an abbreviated and revealing top.

I say revealing because she’s bra-less beneath this flimsy covering. Like the first chapter, this one has lots of views of Hana from beneath when she’s on hands and knees. There’s also a good amount of footage with Hana using the bed for some upright bouncing.

At 50 minutes the next chapter brings us Hana on the tennis court for what might be the first time in her life. There’s a lot of jiggling going on beneath her jersey. As usual in these tennis shoots, the camera will get down low for some up-skirt views. Hana wielding a tennis racquet isn’t exactly scintillating, so she’ll come over to our side of the net and pull up her jersey top to show plenty of cleavage.Yes, she”l also pull up her tennis skirt to show plenty of buns as well.
On a side note – this video was released on December 18th – on the same day as a new release from Yoko Matsugane. Yoko will have a scene on this same tennis court in her video. As that release is also from E-Net Frontier, I’m thinking that both of these videos were made on one trip by the E-Net crew. And maybe there’s a video as yet unannounced, featuring both Yoko and Hana. I’m just speculating folks, so don;t take that as gospel.

The next chapter has Hana in a red bikini getting a massage. Words aren’t needed – just check the images. Hana will get a phone call after the massage and soon departs down the road.

And as the next chapter begins Hana arrives at our apartment, ostensibly as a massage girl for us. This chapter is very much like the first chapter including Hana posing on the sofa, the camera pressing against her boobs and she’s wearing just a bra and panties. Eventually Hana is above us. Her boobs are far too big for that flimsy bra she’s wearing; her breasts remain contained in the bra, but only barely.


Following this adventure, Hana appears next back at the house where the vidoe bega, After some brief chat, she again kisses us.
The credits roll and beneath that there’s some footage of Hana in a swimming pool which we did not see earlier. Maybe we see that and more in another release to follow soon.
There’s a bonus chapter with outtakes and behind the scenes. It runs about 4 minutes and change, and there’s a segment with Hana on the tennis court looking much better than she did earlier.
Summary: An excellently shot video. If there’s one thing I might find to complain about is that there was a certain repetitive nature to the scenes. Sure there’s bound to be that in gravure, but in this case I’m talking about the exact same style of posing.

I might also say that Hana has too many spoken lines in this DVD, but these lines would likely be much more useful to members of the Japanese speaking viewers than for those who don’t understand.

Still, Hana looks supremely confident in this DVD. There’s none of what you might call stage jitters that she has exhibited before. Of course her shape is still gloriously robust and sexy. Four point five is my rating.

Well, I’m gonna say something obvious but Hana’s body is, maybe, one of the hottest I’ve ever seen on a gravure idol.
I mean, she is not one of my favorites idols but her body is a pleasure one to see and her personality shines (as you said “her shape is still gloriously robust and sexy”… hell yeah my friend!
Nice review, Congratulations!
*(currently waiting the review of Rui Kiriyama last release ^^).

as I sit in front of the TV early Christmas morning, watching “A Christmas Story”, during a commercial break I decide to check to see if you’ve reviewed Hana’s latest yet (knowing full well that you would have had it for at least a few days now).
Another fine review (as usual), and I concur with your assesment of this disc.
Ordinarily I would say that six releases in a single year would be overkill for any Idol … any Idol except Hana, that is.
I don’t know if I will ever tire of looking at her, but I suspect that it will be a long, long time before this occurs … if it ever does.
Obviously, any given woman’s appeal to any given man is highly subjective, but Hana is the “it” girl for me.
That said, I still am very excited about the upcoming Nonami Takizawa release on January 7th. There seems to be quite a buzz about this one, and thanks to Amazon Japan’s “SST delivery service”, on January 8th I should know if it’s “much ado about nothing” or just another exquisite effort from Nonami.
Can’t lose either way.
Happy Holidays, and a very happy and healthy 2010 to you and all your readers.
Thanks Mike – & Thanks Pedro -
Happy Holiday to you both. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Hana in another 4 videos in 2010.

Hana’s next DVD is coming up in Feb/26. Hitomi Kitamura has one for a week earlier. Nothing from Yoko’s nor Rui’s camp, although the later has those Sayaka movies. From the user reviews, it seems Nonami’s 3D DVD was not well received. Maybe people thinking it was AV had something to do with it…
Before the next batch of IVs arrives, what about a year in review feature, Mike? There was no 5.0 video last year, so I wonder how those 4.75s rank against each other or if a 4.5 might end up edging a higher graded title…
Hi X-man . Thanks for the updates.
I have received the Nonami Takizawa 3D and standard IV – but have not really looked at them. I’ll have to find some 3D glasses somewhere. Meaning I’d like to see it in both formats before reviewing it.
As for doing a year in review – i’ve never done one. I d rather just continue with new stuff.
Have you really clicked back on all my reviews for 2009?
Mike
Well, I clicked them when they came out, I only got internet access at home (was using public before) a couple of years back, but I’ve been following your reviews for a while (found them thru the BEArchive forum – at that time, I would save the files in a memory card and read them at home) and I think nothing got a 5.0 (save a guest review for Hana’s 3rd IV)
I was thinking… Hana was the no. 1 idol of the year by sales alone but I think Rui had a better second part of the year and one can not count Yoko out… but then realized my knowledge is limited as I don’t really follow the Hitomis, Miki, Mai Nishida, and others… So I was wondering how would you rank them… I found about Anri and Minami Matsuzka because of your reviews but have not really checked much from other idols…
BTW, I thought Nonami’s disc would ship with the lenses!! What were they thinking!
I saw the cover to Hana’s latest in the ”what’s new” page and I thought it was another Asana Mamoru DVD… weird to see Hana with that covered after seeing her pretty much naked in the current weekly playboy…
