Miho Ishii - M-Style (June 24th, 2009)
Saibunkan
Catalog # - SBVD-38 - Region 2 Disc - 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 84 Minutes

The Skinny: This is Miho’s 5th IV DVD and the 5th review that I’ve done on her work. I think she’s both sweet and sexy; therefore eminently reviewable. Whatever M-style means, or whatever they intended as a tribute to Miho for her appearances and style - I’m definitely in favor of it.

Yes, once again, the Balinese Villa Jatayu is the beautiful setting. As the DVD begins, we find Miho strolling into this wonderful garden with its lush tropical vegetation, flowers, and gorgeous ponds, to greet and welcome us as well as looking spectacular.

Miho Takai - Melon Pan (June 5, 2009)
Grossoc/Grade Up
Catalog # - TRST-6 - Region 2 Disc - 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 70 Minutes

The Skinny: Miho Takai has a nice body, a cute smile, and not much experience as a video bikini model. This DVD appears to be a homegrown video meaning they didn’t fly off to some tropical island resort. It was made in Japan. While you will appreciate Miho’s curves, there’s not much in the way  of positives to this video.

There’s a very brief montage - only 1:23, then a brief segment called Off-shot where Miho introduces herself.

Rui Kiriyama - Juicy H (June 20, 2009)
Line Communications / I-One
Catalog # - LCDV-40375 - All Regions Disc - 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 74 minutes

The Skinny: It’s all in the timing. In Hollywood, they try to open films for maximum impact (Memorial Day weekend, or July 4th weekend, or even Christmas Day for blockbusters). But in Japan, this DVD, went on sale 4 days before the releases of major idols like Miyabi Isshiki, Rio Natsume, and Miri Hanai. Consumer’s yen, and dollars, are very much in demand, so timing is important. (more…)

Mayuka Okada - Adventure
Line Communication/I-One
Catalog # - LCDV-40372 - Region 2 Disc - 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 85 Minutes

The Skinny: After a pair of standard-sized models, Yurika Narahara, and Manami Hashimoto, let’s change it up by having a look at one of the world’s favorites in the robust category. Of course we mean Mayuka Okada. Her new release is called Adventure and is an I-One release from Line Communications.

While much of the DVD is shot indoors, featuring what we might call for simplicity’s sake - bedroom seductions - these tend to be darker, as in low lighting situations - so we’ll try and provide you with more of the highlights from the out of doors chapters. (more…)

Manami Hashimoto - Natural - Suhada no Yuuwaku (May 22, 2009)
Trico
Catalog # - TRID-97 - Region 2 Disc - 16:9 Aspect
Running Time: 75 Minutes

The Skinny: Back for an encore on our pages is the slender and lovely Manami Hashimoto starring in Natural from Trico. We had previously reviewed her in Beaming, a July, 2004 release.

Yurika Narahara - New Kiss (May 29th, 2009)
Spice Visual
Catalog # - MMR-81 - Region 2 Disc - 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 99 Minutes

The Skinny: I’ve no way of knowing, but this might be Yurika Narahara’s escape from home. Not that she was imprisoned, but more like this was her flight into adult hood.

Yoko Matsugane - Enrapture (October 10, 2002)
Vega Factory
Catalog # VEVD-33 - All Regions Disc - 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 50 Minutes

The Skinny: This is the next of our Classic Reviews. Yoko made this video in the summer of 2002. That’s seven years ago. The review (which follows immediately) was originally published in early 2003. Photo captions and indented commentary made by Al-The-Editor.

Next let’s once again drool over the gorgeous and busty Yoko Matsugane starring in Enrapture from the Vega Factory. Like so many of these Japanese productions, the producers will fly the model off to some exotic location. I am all for it. Beach, waterfalls, tropical palms and the like, all add to the exotic allure. Unlike last month’s Yoko DVD which opened in a bathroom, here we find her romping on the beach, and it just happens to be on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. The romp on the beach is just the beginning of a lengthy montage that will showcase Yoko and her marvelous pair.

Typical Japanese idol video - Yoko has as much fun as possible without taking her bra off

Hitomi Kitamura - Meromeron (May 25th, 2009)
Air Control/Melon
Catalog # - OME-56 - Region 2 Disc - 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 71 Minutes

The Skinny: Business as usual for Hitomi-chan with a few extras such as longer hair, a couple of mosquito bites on her left and right money makers, and a bit more skin showing then normal.

Mayu Mitsui - Swinution (May 7th, 2009)
Surfrider
Catalog # - TRAK-17S - Region 2 Disc - 4:3 Aspect
Running Time: 60 Minutes

The Skinny: She’s tall and leggy, slender, has a cute smile, and this is her 7th DVD since January of 2008. Up to now, I hadn’t really taken much notice of her, but with this review, we can no longer say that.

You carve out and clear a swath of land from the forest - back breaking work to say the least - then you struggle to put up a house, capture and save water, and grow a few meager crops. It’s an ongoing battle to keep out rodents, stay warm in the winter, and if you need to go shopping for supplies,  it’s next to impossible, as there’s no nearby shops. Besides that, as I said, you’ve got to worry about those troublesome neighbors on the warpath.

Such is life in upstate New York. In 1757. (more…)
