JustMeMike's New Also on Video

Yoko Matsugane – Ryojo Aiyoku (December 18th, 2009)
E-Net Frontier
Catalog # – ENFD-4142 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 78 Minutes

The Skinny: Ms Yoko Matsugane looks very good. She’s a stunning woman, and while I think she’ll never again be as dramatically voluptuous as she was circa 2002-2005, the missing pounds are mostly from her waist, hips, thighs, and face. But her bust is as big as ever.

As the video begins, Yoko is walking towards her hotel. She’ll stop for a moment to talk to us and she’s got the switch to ‘charming’ turned on. That launches the montage and a few minutes later we follow Yoko into her hotel room.

Rui Kiriyama – Melty H (December 15, 2009)
Line Communications / I-One
Catalog # – LCDV-40399 – All Regions Disc – 16:9
Running Time: 70 Minutes

The Skinny: Perfect model. Not nearly a perfect DVD.

As predicted and as expected, Rui Kiriyama has exploded onto the gravure scene in 2009. Her rise through the ranks has been both swift and dramatic. She’s got it all – a sweet smile, a booty right there with Hitomi Kitamura as best in the business, a huge bust, and a winning cheerfulness that you can’t help but be attracted to.

The first of the main chapters following the opening montage finds Rui on the beach. She won’t go near the ocean but still there’s plenty to like in this chapter including that blue bikini.

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.

Yoko Matsugane – Lolita Paradox (March 25th, 2004) – Region 2 Disc – 4:3 Aspect

NOTE FROM JUSTMEMIKE: Readers, this is a guest review done by our friend from Mexico, Xater. He’s made a ton of comments on this site and has always appreciated my reviews, so I asked him if he’d  like to contribute a guest review.

He said he did one for Nonami Takizawa’s Toubou, but that since I had reviewed that one not too long ago, he would opt for a different video.

His choice, as you can see, is the fabulous Yoko Matsugane’s Lolita Paradox. At cdjapan, this DVD is out of print., but you may be able to find this DVD steeply discounted at other outlets including Amazon.co.jp or some vendors on eBay – (search via the catalog number FENF-1064).

Xater’s review begins just below. Thanks Xater.

Asana Mamoru – Gekkan Asana Mamoru (November 27th, 2009)
E-Net Frontier
Catalog # – JENF – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 76 Minutes

The Skinny: There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that Asana Mamoru is likely going to have a grand career in the world of gravure modeling. I mean you can just tell by looking at her. She’s going to be a big, big star. If you liked Hana Haruna, you’re going to love Asana Mamoru. Assuming of course that she doesn’t quit the industry in disgust.

Miyu Watanabe – First Love  (October 23rd, 2009)
E-Net Frontier
Catalog # – ENFD-5170 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 77 minutes (main chapters + extras)

The Skinny: My first impression was that this was a rather well made DVD. No new ground was broken technically which means that this video is a lot like so many others that we’ve reviewed. That’s the bad news. The good news is that this video is free of the excessive directorial and editing gimmicks that often diminish the value of a gravure video.

My second impression is that Miiyu Watanabe (left), a budding and pretty gravure idol and Erika Toda (right), a rising star in Japanese television drama series look alike. What do think?

Mikie Hara – Umi to, Mikie to, Taiyo to (October 20th, 2009)
Line Communications / I-One
Catalog # – LCDV-40931 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 65 Minutes

The Skinny: This is the first of Mikie Hara’s recent double release from I-One. Yes, we are again in Bali – no surprise there, as Bali has become even more popular with the Japanese production houses than ever. Let’s have a look at Mikie, in all her splendor.

The first of the main chapters opens with Mikie playing spiritedly on the beach. And there’s some long shadows. Likely when they started it was morning.
