Catalog # – SDNI-002 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 89 minutes

The Skinny: Ms L-115, Minami Matsuzaka, has finally turned the page. Gone are the hand and arm bras which were/are a staple of her gravure DVDs. In this DVD, what we get plenty of is Minami with nothing on but her high heels or maybe it is sandals, her perfume, and maybe the radio. The title may be Scandalous Body, but to simplify matters we will simply give this video our own title – Minami Gets Naked.

The opening is slow – there’s some celestial music and Minami, in a red silk robe, is outside of a peculiarly shaped room with lots of drapes looking in. Once she enters the room, she’s seated on the floor. A round cylindrical object is rolled across the floor to her. She fondles it, examines it, and ultimately discovers that it is a kaleidoscope.

After we are shown what Minami sees through this object, we get the message too.

Until we saw the kaleidoscopic image nearly six minutes had gone by, as I said this was a slow opening. But Minami is an imaginative girl. We can sense that she has some thing else in mind for this object. The setting changes to a white room with Minami seated on a bed. She still has the object and is still wearing the same robe. But not for long.

Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration because, in actuality, that red robe doesn’t get opened until about the 10 minute mark. Which also means that aside from those few and brief moments of the kaleidoscope effect, the first 10 minutes of the DVD contained only a scant few seconds of bare breast.

At the 15 minutes mark, a new scene starts. Minami wears a bra and panties briefly, Then nothing. Then the bra and panties are back. Then they’re off again. It is about four minutes and change of this back and forth. The visuals are great but I didn’t feel the same about the choice of the non-sequential continuity.

This is a short scene and somewhere after the 19 minute mark  we find Minami set up in different bedding. This time it is a futon pad and sheets and comforter on a tatami mat floor. Minami seems not too energetic. She must get an audible verbal clue from the director who is probably saying something in Japanese about oppai (breasts) because that’s what she shows us. This might have have been a ‘show and tell’ but you’ll have to accept only the display as there’s no dialogue. However there are some serious tremors from Minami who appears to be experience some phantom sex.

This is followed by what used to be called ‘a soak in the tub’. The water is a bit murky, but Minami will stand and turn a few times so as to make sure we know she is really naked. But then, out of the blue, and while standing, Minami suddenly employs the hand and arm bra – a double one (both arms) at that. I’m scratching my head over this – where did that come from, and why now? But that doesn’t last long (the hand and arm covering her bust). She’ll stand, then sit and stand again, and I must say this was a peculiar scene.

Next Minami is fully dressed and out in the street, Before you can say doko des ka (where is this?) she’s inside a building on a staircase. First she’s dressed and then she’s lost some of her clothes to better show off her body no doubt. She’s never fully nude in this scene as she wears a wrapper and her panties. But she does show her breasts.

This is followed by Minami before a microphone. She wears a see through mesh top, and she will spend a few minutes talking about her oppai – were you expecting some thing else? It is ok to have a model talking about herself, even talking about her breasts – but having Minami refer to herself as Minami this, Minami that (using the 3rd person reference) was a waste of time.

But when she trotted out her bag of oral tricks using the ‘live’ microphone, I was kind of turned off. The finale of this scene was that Minami was rubbing the live microphone between her legs and moaning away.

And if that wasn’t enough, in the next chapter Minami works with a live light bulb. It goes between her legs so she can simulate a sex act with it.

At 52 minutes, Minami’s ass gets an opportunity to make the highlight reel. She’s pressing her self against a wall, moaning and groaning. Her stocking were nice but this was otherwise a poorly conceived chapter which was made worse because of the unlistenable music (let’s just call it noise).

She does take off her top and that brings us back to light bulb time once more. Soon she will trade off the light bulb for a red plastic penis-shaped dildo. So more oral activate is what we get next. Soon this dildo is introduced to the places between her breasts and then between her legs.

At 1:02:40 (a little less than a half hour remains) Minami is atop one of those machines that you sit on and it moves imitating the ride on a bronco or a steer, only slower and without the danger. She’s wearing a red see through leotard with red stockings. She rides this machine for about three minutes before there is a dissolve to Minami in bath tub where some soft pearly liquid is poured into her cleavage to be rubbed in, of course.

This scene was very much of a standard gravure bathing scene with a bonus – and that would be the nudity.

At 1:11:36 we have Minami in a very bright room. She’s wearing a little bit of a top and matching bottoms and is set up next to a bed with a brass footboard and headboard. This is another scene where Minami will simulate sex. We can’t actually see if she is masturbating but she is giving us all the indications that she is. Especially when she when does she brings a finger to her mouth for the taste test.

The last chapter is similar to the first chapter – a large room, lots of see through drapes. Minami wears a black cocktail dress. She will eventually end up on a rather unique sofa. Her dress is extremely short at it’s bottom and wide open at it neckline. But it is just more of the same. (Read above).

Summary: The Minami Matsuzaka twins are finally revealed. Yes, she does get fully naked. Sex is simulated in more scenes than not – solo of course. The video had some style to it, and one could even say it was both unusual and good visually. But overall, this isn’t a very accessible video. I mean that Minami is nude, and for that alone, the video is worth seeing. But once you get past that, you’re going to feel that Minami is more interested in what she is doing to herself than anything else. It is like she’s not playing to the audience. Since aside from the lamentable microphone scene, she’s not engaging the viewers – or even trying to engage us, it is hard to like the DVD. Three point zero is as high as I’ll go.

Ayumi – Big Love – June 25th, 2010

Spice visual / Mare

Catalog # – MMR-107 – All Regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 68 Minutes

The Skinny: I’m not exactly sure what is about Ayumi that makes me admire her video work as well as her flat out great looks. Ever since Summer Jewel and Eternal Summer, I’ve been a big fan. Maybe it is her smile, or maybe it is her womanly hips. And maybe it isn’t just any one thing but instead, a combination of many things. Read on.

The montage begins the idyllic video set in tropical Bali. There are 9 main chapters each with names rather than numbers between the opening and the closing credits. The video concludes with about 4 minutes of behind the scenes which include a few questions which Ayumi answers while offering up some her best smiles. Sweet. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s have a look at the the chapters.

The first Chapter, called Balcony, opens with Ayumi wearing a beige knit sweater and cut-off jeans shorts over a white bikini, Ayumi is in a high energy mode. She’s all smiles with lots of movement as she works her way out of her outer clothes. You will also note the high energy of the camera movements, I mean many rather than quickly, and editing. The angles are varied throughout and there a lot of editing cuts which gives us even more visual changes. All to the good.

In Two called Garden, we are still outdoors. Ayumi nows wears a blue mono-kini which is basically a bikini but is still just a one-piece swimsuit. The same visual style is present with our model making excellent use of the structure’s wooden supports.

Three has us indoors. A dressed for business (black skirt & dress shirt) Ayumi also sports eye glasses. In this one she’s much more relaxed as she poses on the hotel room’s bed. First the shoes, then the stockings come off. Eventually Ayumi is wearing only a black trimmed in red bra and panties set. This is a glamor posing scene – there won’t be any implied or pseudo-sexual antics. Watch for a great angle on Ayumi’s bottom as she turns over on the bed. Other than Caitlyn Smith’s song Fold …

How lovely your eyes tell me just what you’re thinking now…

And how I wish I could get into your head … somehow.

… there isn’t much music in this scene which plays out without Ayumi smiling, but the song seems to fit with her expressions and mood, making this a beautiful to watch chapter.

A pool scene follows with Ayumi actually swimming, actually getting her hair wet, and no sign of any inflated plastic to keep her afloat. Ayumi wears a navy bikini. The music is another song from Caitlyn Smith. This one is called Broken Vase:

Picture me, a broken vase,

Put me together again …

Next up is a Chapter called Dance – yes, Ayumi dances. Not so well that I would be praising, but not so bad that I would be damning. In fact, she must have been dancing to a tune which wasn’t the one we heard on the music track because her rhythm didn’t seem to fit the cadences of the music.

I haven’t been able to track it down but the song contained lyrics about lots of broken bibles, and picture perfect idols. But it hardly seemed like a dance tune for a Balinese patio.

But as you can see in this image to the left, Ayumi’s dance costume was just a colorful but quite small bikini, so even though the music wasn’t a match with the song, likely added in later, she still gave us a nice set of visuals.

In the next one, Ayumi wears a white tank top and bikini bottoms. The legend on the shirt reads Full of Love. While Ayumi shows off her beautiful figure and great smile, we hear yet another song by Caitlyn Smith – this time it is Stand With Me.

…Tell me I’m a fool if I don’t fight

Stand with me, till everything’s all right

Ah, the wonders of double side tape. The scene has a nice late afternoon glow to it. But I’m sure that spending time with Ayumi would induce a glow at any time of day and wherever you might be.

Ayumi next appears in a bejeweled black mono-kini. It’s a slow paced walk around the grounds (not very far), and the side-less, backless, and neckline down to below her navel, bathing suit reveals some of Ayumi’s curves. And she looks superb with the tropical Bali setting with the lush foliage, behind her. As nice as she looks, I also must give kudos for the superb location to the producer and his team.

The next chapter begins with Ayumi wearing a white blouse with a floral pattern. There’s a wall behind her and we can see the sunlight on her face. Only the name of this chapter is Bath Room, and this scene begins with a shower. I’ve long reported to you about these Balinese shower rooms, that have walls but no ceilings. Call it open aired rather than outdoors. After the shower we have Ayumi, in just a bikini, on the veranda of her second floor room. Once more, Ayumi looks great with Bali greenery behind her.

Twelve minutes remain for the Main Chapters. Ayumi is in bed. Ohayo (Good morning) she says. The scene has just the natural lighting. Ayumi begins wrapped in a sheet. But soon she lowers it, and we have some posing in a white bikini.

Six minutes later, Ayumi wearing a pale blue dress steps into the swimming pool. Slowly the closing credits roll. Then we have some behind the scenes footage for the last 4 minutes or so.

Summary: Ayumi seemed to slow down as the video progressed. I don’t mean that she stopped working hard. Instead, the director gave her less and less to do, and whatever it was, he may have said – do it slower, please.

Still despite the fact that she doesn’t get a lot of video work, she began in 2006, this one along with the two Summer videos make up 60% of her video portfolio. Those 3 out of a total of five, would make anyone’s highlight reel.  Despite the slim videography, I still believe that she’s one of the finest gravure models. I compare her to the wonderful model now actress – Hiroko Sato.

I’m going to score this DVD at four point zero. It isn’t seriously flawed, has interesting music which probably says more about the tastes of the producer and director than it does about Ayumi, and the locations and settings were superb. But as I said above, it seemed to lose energy as it progressed. I’m looking forward to Ayumi’s next DVD.

E-Net Frontier
Catalog # – ENFD-5239 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 96 Minutes

The Skinny: Tall and lanky, Kirika Nishino gives off a kind of vibe that reads “I Don’t Really Care” and one that is pointing towards ‘defiant’. She’s just so matter of fact about showing off her body in a particularly sexual but dull manner. Many of the angles in this DVD certainly convey that this is about sex – almost to the extent that this is all they want to convey.

What makes it somewhat surprising is how the video begins. In both the montage and Chapter One and even a few more chapters, Kirika appears as a school student in a typical Japanese girl’s school uniform or at least in ‘plain clothes’ but looking like she’s studying. They’re making sure we see her a student.

If that wasn’t enough (the student scenario), she’s going to get out of her clothes, In fact we see a pair of hands that belong to someone else help her out of these clothes. In Chapter One. In a school no less.

Chapter Two begins at the 13 minute mark. Since the DVD runs about 96 minutes we are going to have some lengthy chapters. Still in school, we have Kirika in a blue bikini with a deflated soccer ball in the school’s gym. Using a hand pump, Kirika works at filling the soccer ball with air. Can you spell ‘handjob’? Can you spell jiggle? Then more jiggle as she runs in place. Despite using the soccer ball as a seat, or as a resting place for her boobs, this was a dreadfully boring scene.

The third chapter begins in a natatorium which means we will see a gymnasium sized swimming pool. Kirika wears one of those snug fitting Arena swimsuits. But there’s no swimming at all. Instead we get aerobics, then some practice for swimming leg motions on a bench alongside the pool, some peeking at Kirika in the ladies dressing room, and then it is back out to poolside again, so Kirika can pose with bare breasts covered by a hand-bra. The shot above is the from the one good sequence in the entire chapter.

A strange chapter follows. Basically it was a long drawn out affair that’s purpose was to employ the hand bra. Someone else’s hands actually. Yeah, Kirika has a man’s hands on her boobs. Trust me it was quite dull.

Next Kirika shows up in a baseball dugout. She’s rubbing a bat, then she’s rubbing some one’s else bat, but they’re implying a hand job. Before you can say Ichiro, she’s down to a bra and panties. That is a double set of panties. Navy ones over smaller white ones. Sorry, but this was tortuous to watch even with Kirika’s fine ass on display. Just in time the bat is re-introduced between her legs and upwards to between her boobs.

In the next one Kirika is dressed in an abbreviated furry white bunny costume. She hops around continuously. She’s also mixing up a bowl of whipped cream. Which gets applied to her chest.

In the next chapter of this cosplay (yes that’s what it is – a cosplay without real sex), Kirika plays a nurse who is applying a soapy gel to someone. Kimoji des ka – Does it feel good? she asks. That’s it for him. For the rest of the scene Kirika does what every JAV actress does in a soap video – only there’s no guy  – just her.

When this scene ends we are at 1:02 so there’s still a half hour remaining. Aargh.

Next – she’s in a red and black bustier and fish net stockings, panties, a garter belt. Her hands are manacled together and there’s a chain attached and someone else has control the chain. Somehow the top of the bustier come down so she has to cover her breasts by holding her arms up in front of her chest with her hands still manacled under her chin. And yes some is still tugging on the chain.

Eventually that minor bondage scene ends and then Kirika is taking a shower wearing only a bra and panties which is only a prep for Kirika to have someone hold an ice cream on stick in front of her.

I’m wondering what’s next? Have they reached the bottom of all the boring sexual teasing? Not yet.

The ice cream on a stick must serve as a substitute for those annoying pointers we see so often, which of course leads to Kirika taking off the bra. Geez, what a surprise! The scene ends with Kirika covering her breasts with her own hands as she reclines in about three inches of bath water.

The last scene follows and at least this time, it is more on the side of normalcy than anything else we’ve seen so far. Kirika starts in a short skirt and a tee shirt, which is reduced to a bra and panties, which then gets down to just panties and a hand bra. All of this takes place on a white sheeted bed.

To the right is the last good shot which occurs just about 8 to 10  seconds from the end of the chapter.

We are done, finally. The credits roll and then five minutes of some out-takes and behind the scenes.

Summary: Was it boring reading about this film. Yes it must be because it was really boring watching and then trying to be creative in doing this review. Sorry I couldn’t do any better.

The montage and what follows tries to be both exciting and outrageous Which is fine. I’m not trying to put a negative spin on that. It’s not that Kirika’s DVD has strong sexual connotations. It is just badly done. The montage is the highlights of the video, and basically all you need to watch.

Kirika, if you’re going to tease then at least show some enthusiasm. Act like you’re having some fun. She didn’t look like she was having fun. For sure neither will you. Viewers, save your money and your time. The rating – avoid this one. When the model looks like she’s just going through the motions, and she can’t wait to punch out at the end of the day; you know the video has issues. Without very many smiles, and laughter, it just doesn’t work. Two point zero.

The Skinny: Back in November, 2009, I was excited then roundly disappointed by Asana Mamoru’s Getsukan DVD reviewed here. She was a great looking model, but the DVD was simply awful. Then about five weeks ago, I got the news that she was releasing a new DVD on August 31st which is today. A little after 10:00 today, I had the DVD in my hands. So let’s have a look at Asana’s brand new video from A to Z.

I’m going to try to keep this in the A to Z order but on occasion, we will jump out of order. For continuity’s sake and just because a thought occurred to me. Anyway, this is only a review not a grad school text book on quantum physics, so order is nice but not required. On that note will begin with a C – for Cover Image. Most of the sites have only published the front half with the large single image, but I’ll go for the whole nine yards – both the front and back covers (above).

A – Our beautiful model is Asana Mamoru, and I am happy to report that this video will make you easily forget about her first one which was produced by E-Net Frontier , who also produced this one. The difference is like night and day.

B – A number of terms comes into play. Bali is the setting,  and we are again at that beautiful Bali Alam Puri Resort which is a wonderful place to showcase Asana’s charms which include a truly noteworthy set of Boobs, and I could sing praises to them forever.

C – When you watch this DVD, you notice things right away. Of course there is Asana’s Cleavage, which you can’t help but notice. But also I must mention her calmness and how composed she is. Yes there are occasional times when she’ll lose it for a brief second or two, but not so much that you think about it or even consider it. There’s also a great many close-ups of either Asana’s face or her bust. Trust me, you’ll love both.That’s because she ‘s so natural at posing. Speaking of more N’s – watch for the night scene shot in and around the gorgeous swimming pool.

D – Dreamland Beach of course shows up twice plus gets some time in the Making Of segment. You’ll note that Direction remained steady and true throughout. He designed a pattern of slow movements by the camera and when he used this Asana remained still. You will also have to include the D for desirable, a term that perfectly fits Asana.

E - The exotic locations used in this video must be mentioned. There’s a Waterfall, (an out-of sequence W) and of all the times we’ve seen that jutting headland at Dreamland Beach, this time, instead of seeing  it off in the distance – they bring camera right up there on top of it and they also shoot Asana from a Helicopter as she stands there. But we can’t forget about Eye-contact. This is one of the best ever for that.

F -Asana’s Face. Superb. Watch for a luxuriously languid scene as Asana relaxes in a bath strewn with Flower-petals.

G - Great tits. Great smile. Great model. Three G’s for emphasis.

H – Hair. Asana wears her hair down and combed neatly. Only in one scene does she wear her hair up. She’s also not afraid to get her hair wet. If you’re looking for pigtails, ponytails and other youthful styles for those super casual looks  – you won’t find them here. H is also for Headland – see above in D.

I - Instantly desirable – all 93 minutes. Interviews – at least two short ones.

J - Jumbo juggs are only part of Asana’s allure.

K - Karma. I’m not a follower of Eastern Religions, but it just might have been karma that made Asana’s first DVD for E-Net so crummy, and this one so good. For all the good joy and pleasure that Asana will bring to her fans and viewers of this DVD, she’s quite likely got a grand amount of good karma ahead of her.

L – Lush body. Asana seemingly is the center point between the polarities of Yoko Matsugane and Harumi Nemoto. Yoko’s got the huge bosom, beautiful face, and thin legs. Harumi’s bust was big but not as big as Yoko, but her hips and legs were awesome. Asana blends the best of each of their attributes. Watch for the Lacy sun-dress near the end of the video.

M – Memorable Mamoru. After seeing this DVD you won’t be forgetting about Asana.

Music – some was good and some was good but we’ve heard those same tunes before on other E-Net releases. They need to be a bit more artistic and innovative when they select their music tracks, and be less repetitive as well

N – This is a nearly perfect video. I’ll tell you why I lowered the score to 4.75 in the summary.

O – Oh My!

P - This is one model who is so pleasing on so many levels. Watch for when she poses to purposely give us a profile view of her bust. Pacing: sometimes it is slow – nearly maddeningly so. But it is because the camera doesn’t want to fly past any of Asana. She’s a perfect example of a camera magnet. So you will have to expect some slow pacing.

Q – There’s 93 minutes of this Goddess (a late running G), so they get a double Q for Quantity as well as Quality.

R - Relaxed. I think this is Asana’s middle name. She seems so relaxed and comfortable especially when the camera comes in for a tight close up of her face and then pans down to her chest, then back up to her face. No signs of being the least bit self-conscious.

S – Sexy. Lovely skin tones. Sweet.

T – At times Asana is so very tranquil, at other times she is so very talkative, and never far from your thoughts will be those Tits.

U – Unbelievable. She’s the epitome of an Ultra-model, or said another way: an Uber-model.

V – When you are struck dumb by Asana’s visual delights you note that she is vivacious and can be quite warm. There’s also that spectacular villa where this video was shot.

W – Wow! Wonderful. Wish the video was longer…also see Waterfall above.

X – will have to fudge a bit here. I thought the editing was great. They seemed to make their cuts eXactly at the best times.

Y – Asana does some Yoga stretching exercises. Not a whole DVD like Yoko gave us, but just enough to be mentioned.

Z - After watching Asana Mamoru in this DVD, I felt a zest for life. So I went to the beach. There were no Asana wanna-be’s or look-a-likes any where in sight. Which does bring us back to a U – she’s one of a kind and is definitely Unique with a capital U.

Summary: a great video. Simply one of the best. And Asana is a great model. When is her next release? This is a nearly perfect video. I felt that the pacing was slow at times, the music wasn’t so special, and there was one brief scene that was a waste. Asana is in bed, wearing a long-sleeved pullover jersey. They have brushing her teeth – apparently without water and even without toothpaste. They could have left that bit out.

But it still adds up to a tremendous four point seven five rating. And a Don’t Miss It label. Plus I recommend this one as an unforgettable instant classic.

The Skinny – An excellent beginning to a very good performance by Ayami Sawada in Second Impact. You’ve heard of the rollings hills? This video should have been entitled Rolling Hips. Why? Simple – the view of Sawada-san’s hips in motion is magnificent. It is like a visual presentation of beautiful music or lovely poetry.

Ms Sawada spends many minutes, make that most of Chapter One  showing us her backfield in motion. Since this chapter is set on the beach, she can safely crawl or walk away from us for a delightfully enhanced view of this action in a wonderful swim suit which clings to her curves.

The second stanza is a bit more sedate affair and takes place in Ayami’s hotel room. She’s delightfully charming of course, but when I said ‘a bit more sedate’ I was referencing action not temperatures. If anything, this scene, which has her in a clingy slip over her bra and panties, is even more playfully alluring than she was in the beach scene.

Three finds Ayami in a clingy black knit dress that is not only quite short, not only form fitting, but also has a myriad of open spaces in its design. The setting is the altogether fashionably unfashionable deserted building. Watch for her to fondle her own derriere, as well as end the scene  wearing the ever-popular hand bra.

In Four, the chapter begins with Ayami shyly speaking to us from behind a door. We can only see her head. Maybe she’s not happy with the outfit chosen for her. Voila! There’s not much to it is there? Still, the chapter allows Ayami to once more show off her butt, and get down to near basics when she resorts again to the hand bra. As the scene closes, she has this embarrassed look on her face. Priceless.

Five has Ayami-chan wearing a bit cms of lace. She sits in a corner of the balcony and has an encounter with a banana. Need I say more? I think not.

Six is a bathtub scene. This bath room is none too pretty. The lighting is spotty with several shadows seemingly always in the picture. Also getting a good amount of screen time is the Sawada backview. Scintillating as that might be the scene could have been better.

Geez, I’ve been talking about it enough, so let’s have one more shot of Ayami’s backfield in motion once more.

The next chapter begins with a Cebu (Philippines) tourist bus rolling into view. On board is Ayami wearing a cowboy hat , denim skirt, boots, the whole bit. Of course that’s just the window dressing because beneath all that is a miniscule white thong bikini. I could get very used to watching Sawada’s tail. When is her next video release?

In the image above you can see the top part of Ayami’s bikini on the floor of the bus.

Eight is a bedroom seuction scene. Ayami wears a red satin bustier with matching panties, garter belt, and stockings. They did a lousy job with the lighting which means the corners are dark, and the subject, Ayami, is under lighting which should have been less harsh.

About the best thing I can say for this scene is the inclusion of the classic 1964 jazz piece, So What, from the Kind of Blue album. The music by Miles Davis provides a nice audio counterpoint to Sawada’s heavy breathing.

That’s it – the credits roll next. Of course they roll by slowly as we watch Ayami in semi-silhouette against a late afternoon sky that becomes a sunset. In an interesting bit of production skullduggery, the directorial credit was given to some one called Trans Am. But we know what that means; a director with a contract for exclusivity with another production house directed this video, but couldn’t put his own real name on it. Or maybe it is something else. Read on…

Summary: – This is a video that is flawed in a few places, but thanks to that eyes-magnet tail of Ayami, it is a real treat for the most part. Ayami Sawada has a beautiful body and she really should work more often. I believe this is just her second DVD. I reviewed her first one here.

In that review I mentioned that I hoped that she would work for a major production outfit like Takeshobo, and here we are 18 months or so  later having our wish come true.

I’m going to score this one at four point zero, and hope for a better effort from the guys behind the camera. The model did her ‘end’ and made a handsome contribution.

Maybe this wasn’t a case of a moonlighting director, Maybe instead it was a case of unreconciled ‘rtistic differences’ leading to the director being fired or else he quit. That’s a wrap for this review.

The old (top) and the new (bottom)

Straightaway we begin with a montage only its not what you expected. Instead of it being a mini-preview of what will follow in the video, it is a look back (via still photo images) of when Yuri was a notable gravure idol and this is cross cut with some looks at Yuri  in the present, in fact, this will serve to introduce  her in this Video. This  footage does bring to mind a younger and decidedly more innocent looking Yuri Kobayashi,. The cross cutting of the old and the current was thematically new and interesting if not visually creative .

A short 4 minute interview follows. You’ll immediately notice how animated and lively Yuri is. The questions appear in Japanese text on the right side of the screen. What’s makes this special is that Yuri seems so very sincere and very likeable. You’ll also notice how even this interview was done stylishly with varied angles.

At about 6:50 Yuri will show off her bare breasts for the first time. She’ll basically be still and she lets the camera provide most of the motion. She’s dressed in shoes and socks, a white skirt and a see through lacy top which she simply holds up exposing her bust.

Two minutes and 15 seconds or so later, there’s a brief fade out. The same music continues and when the scene re-opens, Yuri has brought the top down but has removed her skirt leaving her lower half fully nude. She poses upright for almost a minute then there’s another brief fade out.

When the scene returns again, Yuri is on the floor – on elbows and knees. The camera pans around including some shots of her fully exposed bottom. Sorry there’s a small bit of censoring mosaic concealing the details. So far, that’s both top and bottom each nude, but not yet has Yuri been all nude. But after one more brief fade out we do get Yuri nude and standing. So in three stages of one scene, Yuri went from dressed to fully nude.

At 14:00 Minutes there’s an interlude with Yuri fully dressed in some sort of eclectic setting. Might be an antique store, or it might be one of those boutique stores selling hard to find  items from western culture. Yes, that’s probably an old Wurlitzer Juke Box behind her. You can’t see it clearly in the image I provided , but I needed to show you Yuri standing rather than seated. Sorry no product placements in this review. Because of the fact that Yuri is covered from head to to toe, and the low level of the lighting, this scene is little more than atmospheric. It seemingly doesn’t fit at all with the rest of the video. It runs a little more than a minute and can be classified as filler. Which is simply a longer way of saying that they could have left this out and no one would have cared.

At about 15:20, we have a blindfolded Yuri seated in a chair. She’s fully naked and is seated in a legs spread wide posture. She remains in this exact position throughout. We hear her breathing. She says nothing. Nothing happens, The camera zooms in for some closeups. That’s it – no action by Yuri at all.

At 19:40 we find Yuri on a huge round bed. She’s wearing a pink see through nightgown with panties beneath. This is the first playful and upbeat scene. Yuri does get naked and doesn’t do much more than roll about on the bed – but she looks so good, and in my view this is the best scene in the DVD.

At 26:15 a new scene begins. Yuri is naked once more. She wears nothing except for high heels, perfume, and costume jewelry. She is posed in a bright sun room. Eventually she goes from standing to reclining.

At 32:05, a shower scene begins. You’ve never seen a shower like this, or for that matter – a bath room like this before. First the water falls from about 10 to 12 feet above Yuri. The room is huge. It has direct lighting, and even a statue of a dragon overlooking the bath tub which looks like it is big enough for two or possibly three people. You won’t see any soaping. For the most part, this isn’t a functional shower for cleanliness. Instead think of it as Yuri gets wet artistically.

After a little more than 7 minutes, we get a new scene. Once again it is Yuri wearing costume jewelry, gloves above the elbows, and sexy mid-thigh length boots. and nothing else. This time we are located on a staircase. This scene is notable for some angles looking up at Yuri who stands with her legs spread apart. Now you know why this was done on the stairs.

That scene runs almost 7 minutes, before the next chapter begins. We are still indoors but it is now night. This scene marks a distinct change in attitude and temperature. This is the first scene that has some overtones to it. This time Yuri is dressed in black. She takes off her clothes to reveal some black rope knotted about her body. While her hands and legs are completely free, and she has full mobility, I think they were making a statement of sorts here. There is an implication about bondage here. However light it may be, it still implies more than what we see.

As proof -the above picture shows you her facial expression . I decided to show that from a bit of a distance rather than show your the closeup at 51:01 which is the last thing we see before the scene ends.

At 51:07 a new chapter begins. In all of the prior scenes, Yuri’s hair has been beautifully combed, and neat, and made her look so beautiful. Here they changed her look. Her hair has been wildly teased out. This is a complete change of tone in both Yuri’s look, in her expressions, as well as the in the music. At this point in time, the video has turned to a much ‘harder and edgier’style. Here, in this chapter, Yuri displays a wantonness not even hinted at earlier. She does some humping with a standing floor lamp, and there’s some shots with some solid wood furniture which also have a distinct sexual ‘flavor’ to them.

At around 56 minutes, the next to last chapter begins. Yuri walks into a bathroom which seemingly contains only a toilet and a bidet. After tugging down her panties, she sits on the toilet. This scene has Yuri wearing a bustier. This scene has no music. so we can easily hear Yuri breathing. Most simply, this scene is a masturbatory fantasy. Not only for you viewers, but also for Yuri.

I say fantasy because, despite some closeups of Yuri’s hand between her legs, you will not see any digital insertions. It is more like her hand is touching her privates, but she’s not really masturbating. However, you as the viewer are supposed to think or imagine that she is. Nine minutes later the scene ends. We heard Yuri’s breathing accelarate, and we’ve seen her open the bustier so she can fondle her breasts. The implied ending of the scene is that she has satisfied her self.

The last scene starts at about 1 hour and five minutes. We follow Yuri up the stairs. She looks decidedly like a tart, or maybe a streetwalker. She heads up to a small bedroom alone. She wears boots, a skirt and a turtle necked jersey top. In the simplest terms, Yuri is portraying a hooker and she’s going to have sex in this hotel room. We don’t see anyone else at all. But Yuri takes off her clothes and goes through the motions.

We’ve seen Yoko Matsugane do this in all of her videos for the last three or four years. Only she keeps her clothes on. Yuri takes off all of her clothes.

This scene isn’t visually striking at all, After all it is a cheap hotel room, and the lighting is so-so. But what does get your attention is Yuri. Yes, she’s faking a sexual encounter, but you wouldn’t know it. This is really what you call ACTING. A bravura performance.

Sumary: I loved the first 50 or so minutes. Yuri looked beautiful in all of her natural splendor. You can almost fall in love with her. The style of the video during these first 50 minutes went through romantic, sensual, and sexy, all with a very stylish and artistic look and feel to it.

But they scrapped that and went for a more exotic and edgier look in the last third of the video. It’s not that it was bad it wasn’t, and its not that it wasn’t done well because it was. But it is distinctly different.

I guess an artistic nude video does need a progression toward a more overtly sexual nature even if you aren’t going to have any real sex in it.

I’ll recommend this one, at at the same time give praise to Yuri Kobayashi for her performance. I’ll also praise the director and editor for their work in most of the video. My only real gripe is with the Art director and director who chose to have Yuri doing a pseudo sex scene in what can definitely called a tawdry setting and unflattering lighting. it wasn’t the fake sex that was the turn off – instead it was the setting. Four point zero.

The Skinny; Ruri Saijou, famous or maybe infamous for her 111 M Cup figure, inspired a lot of comments last time I did a review of her work. This one is called AV-Impossible. Maybe they should call it AV Mission Impossible. It’s not much of a video despite its nearly 2 hours in running. Yes, Ruri Saijou is quite busty, enhanced or otherwise. But as far as the video goes, that’s it for the compliments.

To begin with, I haven’t been able to figure the name of the producer. There were no credits at the end of the video. I did track down their website (http://www.miman.jp/) where they have a some images in lieu of a preview for this video. When you click on the Topic called Contents you will see that they’ve made about a dozen or more videos, similar to this one, some of which you will recognize from the covers.

As I said there were no credits, and no montage either. What’s more – there are no music tracks at all. Aside from the camera and video editing stuff, this was basically a cost-free production Made on the cheap as they say.And I’m thinking that the producer is also the director. The director seemingly operates the camera, and quite likely he is also the owner of the hands that touch, fondle, caress, and tease Ruri. It is also most likely his tongue that is in play too. I might be wrong about that, but it just looks that way from the angles.

All told there are about 12 scenes beginning with Ruri walking and talking in someone’s back yard which is devoid of grass. Just stones, with an occasional potted palm. She’s very personable and attractive when you see her in clothing that could be worn on the street..

That's her in the center. Two minutes of this was NOT NECESSARY!

She yaks and yaks then finally heads inside to change into a bikini. We get to watch through this semi-opaque glass door. 15 seconds would have been fine. You can tell you are watching a woman take off her clothing to put on a bikini. but it wasn’t worth watching through the glass.  But we ‘watched’ through the door glass for more than two full minutes. Boring.

She’ll do a lot of posing in a two different bikinis – in the first she has to deal with annoying plastic hands that poke and prod her boobs. In the second bikini she works with an exercise ball.

Ruri as the Sweater Girl

The next two scenes involve a tight sweater and a tight tank top over a tight tee shirt. As I said, Ruri is very busty. Ruri studies some paperwork while the camera guy manages to tug down her vee-neck to get a peek at a deep cleavage.

This is followed by some energetic (and reasonably well coordinated) jump rope. This was a very good scene for those of you who appreciated a good wobble when you see it.

Then we find her in a bold one piece swimsuit which covers her up in the front but allows us to see her shapeliness. It is also a bit of a see through. Yes, there is a nipple plainly visible beneath the material. But in the back, it is just a thong. A skimpy one at that. Really skimpy. To prove the point they introduce a bit of rope to her camel toe.

While Ruri shows off in a white bikini,  the old standby – a body oil is used in the next chapter.  It’s not really all that exciting or provocative unless sleek and glistening skin is your thing.

The next chapter has Ruri in a frilly bra and panties. The producer-director-cameraman-performer finally gets some really solid ‘hands on’ in this chapter, and at 56 minutes we see our first look at her bare nipples and breasts.

Things are beginning to speed up, at least in the touch and feel sense as we next see Ruri in a zippered hoodie. Here, some gooey gel is poured into her cleavage, and our man with the hands gets to do a full breast massage.

Three more chapters remain. An oral scene follows with Ruri in a red knit working with a yellow penile shaped dildo. It’s just oral.

At 1 hour and 33 minutes, the next to last chapter, begins with Ruri in a  see through. In this one, our intrepid man for all seasons, or should I say tasks, will get to slobber all over Ruri’s boobs. From breast licking to breast sucking – it’s all there.

I hope he is finished soon...

The last chapter runs about 10-12 minutes with the dude having simulated sex with Ruri. Missionary, doggy-style, even Ruri on top. Don’t even think of seeing any penetration because there isn’t any. We don’t even see any genitals, pixilated or otherwise, from either side of this pseudo-sexual transaction. Oh hell, there is no sex. They’re just faking it. AV impossible indeed.

Hoped you liked my DVD. Bye!

Summary: Ruri is  a nice looking woman, with or without her clothes.She does bare the twins, after a lengthy wait of almost an hour. There’s plenty of poking and prodding, feeling and fondling, heavy breathing and moaning, groping, and a in the end, some poorly handled fake sex with the most unrealistic ejaculate ever.

I’ll watch Ruri again but I won’t recommend this one. This is most likely as far as she will go until bigger and better money is offered. Or  this is simply the transitional DVD that finds a safe resting place on Ruri Saijou’s sexual odyssey. From gravure, to this halfway point – and then her next step will be to go on to full AV.  Just guessing. Three point zero.

The Skinny: Hong Kong’s super-model Chrissie Chau lights up the screen as she and a crew from Hong Kong do a tour of France. From Nice to Marseilles, and then on to Paris. Chrissie attracted passer-bys wherever the production took them. She’s a high-spirited woman as well as a high-energy model.

The production is partially in 3D with four scenes in that mode, as well as the standard 2D. And there is a Blu-ray version as well as a standard definition DVD. All in all, both the DVD and Chrissie Chau are quite a package.

Early on I wasn’t quite sure of where we were. I knew it was France, but where? Once I saw mountains and the sea, I knew that it was in the south of France.

We watch as she scampers about, poses Kicking a soccer ball in 3D, picnics, parties, does a jacuzzi, and shops – here she is below with a cute French Chef Hand Puppet Doll – more on him later.

Chrissie about to enter the Gare de Nice

But eventually Chrissie and the crew showed up at the Gare De Nice Ville which is how the French say City of Nice Railroad Station. Now that I have that factual evidence, I wonder why I didn’t identify the Nice, France airport, having been there myself.

On board, we see the train pulling in to Beaulieu sur Mer which was one of the places where the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels film with Steve Martin and Michael Caine was filmed.

Soon enough the train arrives in Marseilles, a marvelous coastal city that seems to start at the edge of the sea and then make it’s way up into the mountains which down here are called the Maritime Alps.

Chrissie looks great in a wedding outfit in a sunny and beautiful square. Of course she looks great wherever she is  – be it a flower market, or some of the  smaller side streets in Marseilles. Chrissie Ah, nei ho leng. Ho ho leng. That’s Cantonese for Hey Chrissie, you’re beautiful. Very beautiful.

Then the gang is in Paris. We see Chrissie on the Paris Metro and walking in an underground Metro station. Of course we will see plenty of her on above ground in Paris as well.

You remember I said that there would be more about that cute French Chef doll. It seems that the crew kept losing their concentration on a French beach, and on occasion, the camera would stray over to capture some local French girls on the beach. Chrissie started noticing this as the cameraman had her posing nearer and nearer these bikini-ed ladies.

Well she wasn’t happy about it; in fact, days later, in Paris, she was still pouting. Until he came into her life once more. Yes. I’m talking about the Chef hand puppet. In a cute scene  with Chrissie on one of those bridges that cross the Seine River in Paris, we watch Chrissie’s face change along with  with her emotions as the Frenchy the Chef appears and with typical elan, he gets Chrissie to smile.

Summary: This was my first real good look at Chrissie Chau. I liked what I saw. You will too. I guess we could say that this the Hong Kong version of the gravure idols videos that are made in Japan seemingly every day of the week. I thought they did a very good job with this hour and two minutes. There was plenty of Chrissie in a variety of outfits, most of which were listed in the credits. She’s exciting to watch because you’re never sure of what she might do. And that sense of mystery only adds to her aura.

I’ll recommend this DVD and give it a four point five rating.

The Skinny: For sure, we won’t be seeing ‘skinny’ again in this review. The word just has no bearing on Minami Narusawa’s figure. She’s doing a  gravure video in a familiar Bali resort, and despite the bright sunny day and the tropical setting, Minami walks out onto the sun-drenched patio in a Japanese school girl outfit – complete down to the navy socks, penny loafers, a plaid skirt, and a sleeveless navy sweater over a white shirt. I’m not sure why so many of the gravure idols start their videos this way – maybe it is just the director’s sense of giving them something to feel at home in.

Ms Narusawa was somewhat nervous and so she stumbled verbally a few times through her opening remarks. She introduced herself and welcomed us to amazing (sugoi) Bali. She hoped we’d enjoy her DVD, and to help us along in that direction, she offered up her measurements.

Soon enough, Minami will take a red recorder out of her school bag, and go up the musical scale for us. Obviously, she hasn’t any talent with this instrument beyond the musical do re mi, so it’s time to take off her school uniform. Now the jiggle-fest, which was so  wonderfully previewed in the montage, begins in earnest.

The second of the main chapters has Minami in a bright yellow bikini in the pool. She has a multi-colored beach ball as a prop. What we see is that Narusawa-san will take every available opportunity to either touch her breasts, make them jiggle by pulling the straps to her bikini top, or press them against something to emphasize their enormous size. This scene did suffer (to a degree) of a being overly bright to the extent that the background is whited-out in some of the angles.

Three begins on the patio before moving inside. Minami wears a white mono-kini. Before long she’s found a glass table to press her boobs against (with the camera beneath – of course). And to make things seem even more like what we’ve already seen, she will use her index finger to poke herself (you know where) again. A bottle of water is introduced as a change of pace.

Four is more of the same. Minami enters wearing a  top over he bikini which as we soon see is a striped affair. This time it’s not water that is used for the tit play. Instead it is a body lotion. Minami makes a concerted effort to get the lotion in those hard to reach places between her boobs. Of course there is more jiggling to do via tugging on the bikini top straps.

Five begins with Minami in a top and shorts with a bikini beneath. This chapter has a few different segments such as hide-the-fruit in your cleavage and get tied up in with a tri-colored ribbon. All of which included more jiggle and wobble. Along with dangle. Let’s not forget the ever popular tit-poke.The only thing missing was the giggle. But we would need the Okada girls for that.

The sixth stanza opens with Minami in farmer’s overalls made into shorts. Minami will lower the straps and then open the shirt to reveal a bright red bikini top and an infinite amount of cleavage. This of course will lead to more strap tugging and in the natural way that these things work – more jiggling follows. And did I mention that the shirt and shorts do come off. Which leads to a workout in a red bikini with a beach ball and then a spot of some jump-rope action. First the jump rope is utilized in its standard intended role as Minami actually jumps and skips as the rope circles. But that requires more energy than using the rope to make her boobs jiggle, so the jumping element is quickly abandoned.

In Seven we are back at poolside. Minami wears an orange bikini with white polka-dots. A different kind of body cream is applied and rubbed in. For a while the director worked to get some effective between the legs shots of Minami as she reclined on the wood floor. But eventually he returned to his more standard activities of having Minami poke her boobs with her index finger or make them jiggle with that by now old favorite and tried and true method – strap tugging.

In Eight, Minami is till on a wooden floor. Only this time we are indoors. This scene begins with the dreaded lollipop which like a heat seeking missle homes in right toward’s Minami’s mouth. When that’s done, Minami sits on a bed where she is bedeviled by the plastic yellow finger-pointing-hand on the end of a stick.  When the finger pointing at her indicates that she should remove her top, she gladly complies revealing a cartoonishly colored bikini. This bikini will match the dozen or so balloons of varied colors already on the bed. The scene concludes with Minami trying to avoid the balloons which come hurtling at her as if we are playing dodge ball aka dodge the balloon. Unable to resist his impulsive nature, the director reverts back to his beloved methodology of having Minami first poke her own boobs, then perform, yet again, the strap-jiggling maneuver.

Ten Minutes remain. Here’s Minami out by the pool again. She’s wearing a see-through sun dress over her bra and panties. For awhile she poses under a tree treating us to additional finger pokes to her massive and resilient boobs. Then she climbs into a small jacuzzi still wearing the see-through.

The jets aren’t turned on so the scene is relatively tame. But while you blinked, the scene has transported to one of those out door showers that Bali is famous for. Minami has a bottle of some white lotion which she pours over body.

The director closes with more strap tugging and boob jiggling. Ho hum.

Summary: Outstanding boobs of a huge size. These will get Minami lot’s more gravure contracts. This DVD was a case of a huge-boobed model who is not the least bit camera shy, whose work was somewhat dulled by the repetive and ultimately unimaginative direction. The camera work was pretty decent, as were the variation of angles and settings.

In all of the chapters, Minami began with a top or a shirt, or a sundress before stripping down to a bikini top and bottom. The DVD made all of the familiar stops – beach balls, jump ropes, lollipops, edible fruits, plastic pointing fingers, oils, lotions, and soaps. We saw swimming pools, patios, and outdoor showers.

But what we saw far too much of was the finger poking and the bikini strap tugging. There’s nothing wrong with huge jiggling boobs – only the poke and the tug should have been replaced by more of the swing and sway. But we aren’t going to hold all of that against the model. She was better than a four point zero but the director wasn’t – so that’s where the rating stays. Four point zero.
