The Skinny: Another great video from Mai Nishida whose popularity grows every day. And why not? She’s got a killer body, a sweet smile, she’s adorable, she’s cute, and she’s also ever so sexy. The camera simply loves her. So do I.

The montage is excellent and the 1st of the main chapter less so. A person enters the room and Mai is under the sheets. After some peekaboo under the sheets, she ultimately emerges in a white bikini.

The scene is designed for playfulness taking advantage of Mai’s sexy desirability. I’m not sure jumping up and down on your hotel bed is a good thing. What will the people on the floor below think?

After that it is out to the Balinese Beach and as usual it is Dreamland Beach. You can always identify this beach because the rocky headland looks like one of the Presidential heads on Mt. Rushmore.

I doubt Mai will visit Mt. Rushmore but I am sure we will see her again on Dreamland Beach. Given the frequency that we see these gorgeous Japanese gravure idols cavorting on this beach – why is it always deserted?

In Three, Mai is decked out as a maid or waitress in a frilly costume. However she’s going to serve up more than just drinks. While seeing her clad in a bikini isn’t listed on the menu, that’s what she will happily serve to us.

Four has Mai getting in some jogging. As she runs she’s also getting in some jiggling. However I believe that this does more for we viewers than it does for Mai. I’ve never seen an idol able to jog very far – and it is tough to grab good images while they are in motion. The cooling down however works quite nicely. In return for her exercise, Mai is treated to a Popsicle.

Five has Mai in some kind of see-through body stocking that is sideless and backless. She’ll spend some giving us a look, as she watches us. But then she notices herself in a mirror, so Mai and her mirror image spend some time together with us left to watch.

The sixth stanza has Mai in a pretty sundress with a deep plunging neckline. I think she is posing in some sort of shed – but you know that Mai will look good anywhere.

Next we have Mai in some intimate nightwear. Never mind that is it still broad daylight – though they should have considered that when they decided to have Mai in a white ensemble with the bright sun whiting out everything behind her.

Eight is a shower. Not the kind of shower stall that you and I have. No, this one is shaped like a large bowl – big enough for a few people or a few hundred kilos of ice cream. Mai applies soap to herself and then to us. A standard bath for an idol these days.

Following the bath, we encounter Mai out for a stroll. Or maybe she finds us. Next thing you know, she’s back at our place, or maybe we are at her place – wherever. Mai seems to feel she has on too much clothing. Excellent idea. No matter who thought of it.

Ten has Mai in the kitchen doing some domestic chores – between posing for us and looking great.

It’s not a great scene – it is pretty much confined to a small space, and a lot of the action has Mai bending over the counter, but it does end with a real closeup of Mai that’s terrific even though she’s not smiling.

The last of the main chapters has Mai in bed. It is a fitting end for the DVD as when we started more than an hour ago Mai was in bed then too. This scene is intended to be a bit more mature. Mai starts and ends in a bra and panties with the addition of make up. While she did look good in a seductive way – the scene suffered because the lighting wasn’t at all flattering.

We have the usual I-One Tee shirt signing, credits, a behind the scenes look, and some Polaroid snaps to close out the show.

Summary: Another winner for Mai. She is on a run. Or maybe you want to call it a hot streak. I’m bringing this one in at four and half. I really can’t get enough of Mai Nishida and apparently neither can the major production houses for gravure videos. She’s turning out the DVDs so fast I can’t keep up with her in doing the reviews.

See you Mai. Ja ne!
