The Skinny: Miyabi Isshiki is back! And I mean all of her. Many thought she looked a bit ‘thin’ in her last two releases. The missing pounds and ounces, or kilograms and grams have returned and Miyabi definitely looks robust.

The video is just under an hour and has but six scenes, some of which have multiple parts or sections with a fade-to-black in between. The location is undisclosed, and they’ve taken steps to back-light the windows, so you won’t see a thing out of the windows until the 4th scene, where we can see gravel in lieu of a backyard lawn. And the whole hour is completely indoors.

Leather Sofa / Yellow Bikini /Chapter One

On another level of style, Miyabi is usually in one place in each scene and she will take only a few steps in the entire video. They will employ a leather sofa, a bed, a bathtub, a set of wooden chairs, and a different sofa for the furniture in the video. You will notice a claw-foot bath tub in two scenes, but the thing I noticed is that this bath room is considerably larger than the one bedroom that was used.

Bath Tub / Blue Bikini / Green Top / Chapter Two

Lighting comes into play in almost every scene. Those back-lighted windows tend to overpower the foreground in some scenes, but only for a brief time as the direction usually would overcome this by changing the angles which would create a better contrast. You will notice this more early on in the DVD, and not so much later.

Miyabi doesn’t do much in the video in terms of action. But she does smile often. You will notice her adjusting her top in most of the scenes, but aside from that, I thought she was lively at times, not fast lively…instead think of it as the opposite of still.

The Bedroom / Chapter Three

The camera angles and camera work were pretty much excellent and it seemed to me that the design of the video was to highlight and center our viewer’s focus on Miyabi’s imposingly awesome bust. There were many closeups of said bosom, and Miyabi was happy to wiggle and jiggle, to dangle, or to press her boobs right up against the camera in a few scenes.

Her costumes did not include anything that you might see on a city street, except for the opening chapter, and maybe a maid’s costume in the last scene. In every scene, both the costume and the camera work were planned to show off Miyabi’s curves. But I must remark that her caboose really didn’t get a lot of screen time.

Chapter Four including the jiggle and the dangle

... and the gravel ...

... and the reflection of the cameraman in the plexi-glass ...

In two of the scenes, Miyabi had to deal with a series of poking and probing by plastic grippers, plastic hands, feathers, faux fur-balls on a sticks, etc controlled by some off-screen people.We did see someone’s hands at the edges a few times. But Miyabi endured this relatively well. She’d laugh, and giggle, and occasionally say  “Chotto!” which usually means something like stop. She did reach a point, a couple of times where she would swat them away. But it isn’t easy to remain passive while you’re being tickled, poked, and prodded. However, you could see that both of these scenes were played for fun.

Chapter Five / must adjust the pink and black

There was also an extended scene with a whipped cream topping on a banana and an ice cream on  a stick. My view on this type of scene is unchanged. I don’t like them. Just as unchanged is the repeated use of these in so many of the Gravure Idol DVDs. Here, this went on far too long.

... the dangle and jiggle continues ...

The good news is that this was the only scene I really disliked.

Chapter Six - Sir, you rang for a maid?

In the second bathroom scene, Miyabi has been given a sheet of plexi-glass which she holds up in front of her. The purpose is to press her chest against it. Which is all fine and good. But if you watch closely, you will see the reflection of the cameraman seated on the floor in front of her on the plexi-glass. This doesn’t spoil the scene at all, but I hadn’t noticed anything quite like that ever before even though plexi-glass sheets have often been used before.

Summary: What really makes this video enjoyable for the viewer is the fact that Miyabi herself seems to be enjoying herself. While she doesn’t get to giddy, nor does she overdo the level of enjoyment, you can just see it in her actions, and her expressions, and even in her body language. Kudos to the Bagus crew and Director Takashi Sumiya for doing their best to have Miyabi do her best.

While this is far from a perfect video – the flaws don’t seem to carry enough import or weight to make me lower the rating to a less than excellent score. As such, I’ll rate this one at four point two five and give it a hearty recommendation. This video will deliver lots of busty-ness for those who love big boobs.

For Miyabi’s legion of fans, I will call this a must-see.
