Yuka Tsukamoto – Emargency (November 20th, 2009)
E-net Frontier
Catalog # – ENFD-5183 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 90 Minutes
LOCATION: Bali
CONTENT SET UP: Intro plus 10 Main Chapters plus Extra (Behind the Scenes/Interview) for a total of 12
THE SKINNY: The cover image is Yuka Tsukamoto at her best. I see a distinct resemblance between Yuka and American actress Jennifer Love Hewitt in this picture but not really anyplace else in the video. Maybe it is just the pointy chin that both have. This may have been a second string crew for e-net frontier, as neither the Bali resort or this DVD are top of the line.
I think my reticence to do this review starts with the fact that both the montage and chapter one begin with Yuka as a school student. She wears the requisite plaid skirt, blouse, tie, high socks, glasses…etc. We’ve all seen this before.
The rest of the video makes all the stops at the most mundane of the gravure scenes – pool, bath, dripping or melting ice cream pop, lollipop, gooey gels, car wash, large exercise ball, and massage. The other two scenes were shot in the bedroom with one being a cos-play as a nurse complete with a stethoscope.
The plus is that all of this was reasonably well made. Meaning I’m not going to have a list of grievances, or things that the director did that I thought were wrong.
I guess I am saying that this DVD was so much of a by the numbers production that it seems to be lifeless too often. Yuka shows fine spirit and can be quite animated when given the opportunity. But when a director tells the model to be as relaxed as possible – as in ‘wait for my cues’ – then you will get a DVD that drags part of the time.
I’m not doing a chapter by chapter run through as I’ll let the images do the talking.
Summary: Though I can’t muster up a lot of enthusiasm for this DVD, I’ll be fair and give it a three point zero. But to be honest, I bought this DVD based on the cover image, but my overall impression is that I was disappointed. One last point, the DVD’s title is Emargency on the cover and on the disk, but on the menu it is the correctly spelled Emergency.

Hmmm another busty honey, excellent. I’m going to need a bigger hard drive at this rate

Thanks for the comment Marth. The more you see the more you save. You may have to start going through your collection on the Hard Drive to begin moving some title to disc or you can save them online.

Thanks for the review Mike!!
I saw some of Yuka’s pics at photo events (before she was even picked up for doing DVDs, I guess) so I knew how she looked without cover retouching. Actually, her first IV I saw “Sweet Prune” has a more… corresponding cover, and the fun thing is that it is pretty much a “Pure Smile” release, same main menu with video playing on the background with the same font and options displayed, profile pic, image slides, etc
But I guess the “Pure Smile” brand is just used with top tier idols. Sadly, Yuka is not, at least for now. I like her because she’s not the kind of girl one would expect tp see modeling but she does – that’s one of he charms about gravure, never underestimate the power of jumbo sized boobs).
I dunno if E-net has also a second tier line, but sending her to Bali is surprising (when some big name idols are going to Hokkaido or Okinawa instead). Her next video is one with all the girls from her agency, so maybe her office is financing her…

Again, thanks for the comments X-man.
As you say, Bali is kind of far from Tokyo so that adds to the cost. But it is my considered opinion that they weren’t at a recognizable (to me) hotel in Bali.
Geez – “Sweet Prune” has to be one of the worst ever titles for an idol video. Can you imagine two guys standing in a Tokyo street – Look, there she goes, it is the Prune girl….

Whew!
Almost bought this one based on the cover and the E-net rep. Think I’ll hold off taking the Tsukamoto-plunge for a future release.
She certainly has the goods to have a reasonably successful big-bust Idol career, but I’m hanging on to my money for now.

Hi Mike -
…glad to be of service. Let’s add her to the wait and see list. I had this DVD since late december and it took me a month to sit down and do the review.
That says something all bu itself doesn’t it?
