Mikie Hara – Love Assort (January 20th, 2012)

I-One (Line Communications)

Catalog # – LCDV-40501) – All regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 72 Minutes

The Skinny: Wow! Mikie Hara‘s career as a gravure idol stretches all the way back to 2006 when her DVD for Nihon Broadcasting‘s Nettelegenic Series was released in June that year. That means we’ve been watching her for nearly five years. While the quality of the her DVDs has sometimes been great and other times not so great – you regularly come away thinking that Mikie always looks good even when the video doesn’t. To the best of my knowledge Mikie has appeared in at least 22 gravure DVDs not counting those I didn’t see and not counting Box Sets. That’s quite a body of work

This DVD has a montage, which the Japanese always count as a chapter. Anyway you count it – it works quite well.

Folllowing  that, in Chapter Two, we meet Mikie at the local high school’s swimming pool. We’ve been to this pool many times with a lengthy list of gravure models who appeared there. No bikini for Mikie this time. Instead she wears a black and blue mono-kini – that’s when the top is attached to the bottom but with plenty of bare flesh showing in between. While the scene is nicely done – good color, nice lighting, and it shows off Mikie’s curves to good advantage, I would have preferred something other than just a plain unadorned piano solo as the sound track.

Three has Mikie in a small-ish silver bikini in what appears to be in an empty warehouse or garage. The chapter opens with Mikie walking towards us – as if she was a runway model. You know: walk to the end, turn, pivot and return. Then, she’s set up on a sofa for some serious posing. The camera moves particularly slowly as does Mikie. It is kind of a dull scene made watchable only because it is Mikie Hara that we are gazing at.

Four has Mikie as a school teacher. We meet her on the way to a classroom. She wears a skirt and blouse with just-over-the-knees black stockings. There’s a brief bit of going over the lesson with us. But without much time going by – Mikie decides to take off her clothes. Not all of them, but we weren’t expecting that, were we? Conveniently, there was a sheet which served as a drop cloth for Mikie to pose on. And that’s it. Besides Mikie, there’s nothing special about this scene.

Five has Mikie as a bunny-eared bartender (playmate style) in a nice and attractive bar. After Mikie shakes a mixed drink for quite some time, she’s going to settle in for some glamour posing – first on a bar stool, then behind the bar, and finally she’ll be lying on top of the bar. While not particularly exciting, the scene has excellent lighting – which helps make Mikie look beautiful.

Six takes place in bed with Mikie wearing some heavenly satin and lace sleepwear.

The scene plays at first without any music benath the visuals, but eventually we will hear a solo piano.

In this chapter, a good amount of attention is paid to Mikie’s boobs. Watch for the scene when she’s on her back.

While I liked what I was seeing, the music is extremely slow paced. This matches Mikie’s moves but you do wish she would be more lively. Then again that silk and lace ensemble was scintillating.

Seven starts with Mikie in the schools gym running a dust mop across the wooden floor. Then she will work (successfully) with a hula-hoop. This chapter is not only up-tempo, but it also allows Mikie to have plenty of movement and motion, and as such she seems to be really enjoying the activity.

Eight begins with Mikie as a bargirl or hostess in a gentlemen’s club. She’ll begin by pouring us a drink and chatting.

Before long she’s up on the stage dancing (a strip down to a bra and panties). This is another high energy chapter – at least Mikie seems to really like chatting with us.

She’s almost exuberant. In the dance segment, she’s a bit more restrained – but maybe it is all just a dream? I’ll answer that question for you. It is a dream sequence.

Nine:  She’s actually portraying a beautiful girl who will give us a massage. has Mikie posing on a living room sofa in a white outfit.

It is delightful to be laying on our back with Mikie working on us as we look up at her. Then she’s going to apply body lotion cream to her own body.

Ten has Mikie in a long flowing red robe. Beneath the yukata is a pink and black bikini with a floral pattern. The room is Japanese style with sliding shoji screen doors and tatami mats. Like a few other chapters in this DVD the action is slow and precise, and the music is another dull piano solo.

Eleven is a shower scene. This is a rather well done soap and suds chapter. The camera angles are good, the bath has a hint of luxury to it – and Mikie is into it. However it is rather short running a bit more than just five minutes.

Twelve is set in an office. Mikie looks great in a dress she could easily wear in the street. As expected, and possibly to help ‘close the sale’, Mikie is going to do an impromptu strip down to her bright red undies and white stockings. Why are we not surprised? Don’t answer – that’s a rhetorical question.

The last two segments are the obligatory tee shirt signing and the bonus film which is about three minutes of outtakes where Mikie has either blown her scripted lines, or missed her mark thereby requiring another ‘take’. This brief footage was enjoyable to see Mikie smiling so often ( which is a reward in itself) which makes up for the fact that this special film wasn’t visually dynamic.

Summary – I’ve always liked Mikie Hara. She’s a beautiful woman and in the DVD’s she appears to be taller than her actual height. She has a great body, she’s poised, and her smiles come easily and often. In this particular DVD she looks just wonderful. The video has nice shots and angles to go with superb lighting. If there’s one flaw to this DVD it is simply that the scenes are too much alike, and some are especially slow. I think we could have done nicely with more upbeat action and camera movements, and more uptempo music. The piano solos were getting a bit tired deeper into the video.

But we won’t hold that against Mikie Hara. Four point zero is the rating, and I’ll recommend this one to not only Mikie’s legion of fans, but to all gravure video fans.

Rui Kiriyama – Boku no H (January 20th, 2012)

I-One (Line Communications)

Catalog # – LCDV-40502 – All Regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 71 Minutes

The Skinny – She’s back. Yes we have Rui Kiriyama back on our screens. This brand new DVD released in Japan on January 20th, arrived at my home in Florida on January 20th. Kudos to both Amazon.co.jp and DHL for the prompt delivery.

As for Rui – this is another one of her eye popping DVDs. She pretty much sticks to the tried and the true stuff that she does so well and that her fans know and can’t get enough of; so don’t be expecting anything new or cutting edge. It’s just not happening. And yes, this is another one of her DVDs that has the letter ‘H’ in the title. No surprise there. In fact, aren’t all of Rui’s DVD’s titled in the same manner?

A nice montage gets things off to a good start. There’s a song playing, and we’ve heard it before, and wondered about it before. I even made it a part of a review I did on a video featuring Yurika Narahara back in June 2009. I couldn’t ID the singers then, and I still can’t. Maybe you can.

The first of the main chapters has Rui entering a small flat. If this is her own place, I’d be shocked because it was rather spartan. Not the least bit feminine and besides a table and a TV stand with a TV, there wasn’t any other furniture. Methinks it isn’t her place,, maybe it belong to a crew member. On the other hand, when Rui takes off that pink sweater and her skirt, stripping down to a big-cupped bra and panties – that’s plenty feminine.

Next out of the chute, Rui enters a shell of building wearing a skimpy ‘shell’ of a dress. It’s backless, side-less, and deeply cut in front. That’s on top of being quite a short dress. We can see some panties beneath the silk down below, but on top, there’s not even a hint of a bra. What’s kind of strange is that within this derelict building she found a mattress with a sheet on it to pose on.

Three is an out of doors water tank on a deck. What we can see of the weather is that it looks wet, rainy, cool and damp. Not that that matters as Rui’s going to get wet anyway. And it turns out that this is just the first water we will see in this chapter. There’s also an indoors bathing area. It still isn’t what you would call a standard bath tub. You’ll love it when Rui is standing and soaping up her butt. When she’s all soaped up, she lies on the floor and is rinsed off by someone (off screen) who is handling the water flow.

 The next chapter has Rui in a white bikini set up in and around a beach. She trots, she crawls, she draws her name in the sand with a stick. The only thing missing is the bright blue sky and sunshine. Then there’s a quick cut, and we have Rui on the same beach, only it is night. She’ll crawl around within some huge rock. The scene is lit by a handheld lamp which usually means we get some shadows, and when it is a close-up, the light looks a bit harsh.

While this scene shows off Rui’s boobs very nicely, there is entirely too much emphasis put on facial close-ups.

The hotel bathroom is our next location. Rui is wearing something in a very pale red. This a lacey kind of a rig. No back, no sides, and not much covering on the front either. This scene is almost a duplicate of the previous one. instead of lying on the sand  – this time she’s making use of a coffee table in the same way before moving over to the narrow bed. If there’s one weakness to this chapter, it is the cameraman’s own shadow over Rui.

Next chapter has Rui climbing out of a carton to open the scene. As always she skimpily clad with the addition of some cat ears. She’s happy to receive an orange lollipop. I’m less thrilled about that. This time, Ri does some dancing, before getting down to basics which means crawling around on the tatami mats. Which means we are in a Japanese hotel. Most likely in Okinawa.

How about a chapter with Rui posing as a student. Rui’s wearing a navy trimmed with white sailor uniform, which is a traditional girls school uniform in Japan. She waits by the side of the road also wearing white woolen gloves and a white scarf. It is night. We approach her in our car. She climbs in. Shortly afterwards, Rui takes the ticket out of a parking garage machine and hands it to us.

Is this going to be one of those scenes where the model starts removing her clothes? If it is, it is a poor choice given the low light available in a car at night. Well the light is low, and yes, she does take off her sailor top. Fortunately they don’t prolong the scene.

Nine has Rui in a white tee shirt and navy shorts. It begins with a bit of calisthenics which leads Rui to successfully keeping TWO hula hopes in motion at the same time. Then the tee and the shorts come off to reveal a bikini. Rui shows off the bikini by jumping rope, dancing, tug-of-war, working with a huge inflated beach ball. Is that the right term? There’s no beach in sight. Okay – exercise ball is a better choice. Eventually Rui is worn out so she simply reclines along-side a pool. Fade out.

Ten – finally we have Rui in a dress! It is a tight sheath in black. She’s in her hotel room and a futon is laid out on the floor. With the dress still on Rui begins to apply some body lotion to her legs. Eventually the black dress is discarded leaving Rui in just a bra and panties. Now the body oil is brought into play once again. Which leads to some straight out sexy posing on the futon. It’s all low key and slow paced – but it works just fine.

Twelve minutes remain. Rui is in the bath tub working with the handheld shower apparatus. What’s this? She’s not showering. Instead she is cleaning the bath tub as well as the walls. There’s plenty of jiggle and wobbling to watch. But then, someone else is handling the shower, and they’re going to make sure Rui gets wet. At first she protests but then she stops.

They hand in a navy blue curt off top which Rui puts on over the bikini. So you know what comes next, don’t you? Right! The bikini top come off and underneath that cut-off top it’s just Rui. The means more jiggling will be seen. When the last of the soap on the bath walls is finally removed Rui can relax.

One more chapter remains (about seven minutes). It is a bedroom scene. Rui wears a lace bustier, panties, white fishnets, and white shoes. Those are the plusses. The minus is a rather tacky hotel room with just twin beds, and not a hint of luxury. I suppose when you’re watching Rui Kiriyama, the setting or lack of setting doesn’t matter all that much. I guess they (the producers) agree because soon the overhead light is dimmed, leaving the room with just the table lamp.

There’s no music and we get to see some water droplets here and there on her body. The implication is sex but there isn’t any sex implied or otherwise – the closest we get to sex is Rui being overheated and her eye lids are lowered.

The bonus chapter is just two minutes and 21 seconds  and it contains some outtakes from the opening apt scene, the water tank, and the final chapter of Rui in the bustier. There’s a bit of play with a rope and maybe that’s the real reason why Rui was sweating.

Summary: Rui Kiriyama is always worth watching. This DVD is pretty much a standard DVD for her, but if I have to rate it, I’d say it is a bit lower than her best efforts. Asides from the relatively inexpensive location (Okinawa?), the only real gripe I have is the overuse of the facial close-up. Three point seven is the score. That’s not a bad score as three point zero is average, yet I’m tempted to call this one a bit of a let-down because she’s done better before. Way better

Anri Sugihara -Ambrosia Oishii Anri (October 20th, 2011)
Line Communications / I-One
Catalog # – LCDV-4088 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect
Running Time : 73 Minutes

The Skinny: The Anri Sugihara double release was scheduled for release back on October 20th. It was too close to my departure time for my trip to Hong Kong and China, so I put off the ordering until I returned home. But now I am finally ready to do the reviews. I think the title of this, the first one, is saying that Anri is as delicious as Ambrosia. While I can’t quite make that comparison, I can state that Anri is quite the dish, she is truly a delicious looking woman.

Out of the box, we are treated to a lengthy (3:10) montage. This is about as long of a gravure montage as I can remember. Right after, we have Anri in a pink bikini with white dots. She’s going to do what all models do on a beach – jog, get her feet wet, roll around in the sand. In short, Anri is more than happy to show off her curves on the strand. And we? We are just thrilled to watch.

I guess a trip to the beach tired Anri out, because as the 2nd Chapter opens, she’s in bed and has been sleeping. Thankfully she awakens as we arrive and seconds later is in a mood to pose. Actually she begins by using a body lotion beginning with her legs and then on to her bust. It is a really playful scene and was most enjoyable.

Three starts looking like it is a night scene. Or at least it is dark to begin with. Possibly because we beneath a huge shoreline rock or coral formation and shooting with the limited light source behind the camera. Sort of like a cave. Much of the scene has Anri on her back. But soon enough she will sit up and then they change the camera position to show the day-light outside..

Four is sports time. Anri wears red, white, and blue with the full gamut of patterns: stars, stripes, dots, and checks. We start with her pumping up the basketball, then we watch her shoot  the ball (she makes one out two shots – you can see the ball at the bottom of the net). This is followed by bounce time on a large beach ball. But wait, there’s more. Anri has a squeeze things which provides an opportunity for the delivery of ice cream and or some sublimation of oral sex. Then a ride on a see-saw. Some restful posing closes the chapter.

Five is a trip around the shapely Anri as she’s decked out in one of those figure-hugging one piece Speedo swim-suits. After we get a good look at her curvy superstructure, she heads for the pool where we get lots of underwater shots. After the pool we get to ogle her body once more – which is always fun. But in this first half of this chapter, I really enjoyed Anri’s smiles.

As the second half of the chapter opens, we find that she’s been busy with a pair of scissors. The one piece swimsuit has been artfully detailed with muc of it cutaway leaving a pretty piece of latticework. Peek-a-boo.

Six has Anri back in the hotel room. She’s wearing a low-cut top. She’s quite talkative. While I didn’t understand most of what she was discussing, it was fun watching her talk. After she’s talked for a bit, they introduce a lollipop. So for those that like this kind of activity – you have your second round of oral play.

Seven looks like we have Anri wearing a costume that you’d probably associate with a gentlemen’s club that has pole dancers.

This was a bit new for me. To the best of my memory, Anri is usually more home-spun or home-based in her costumes. She’s not normally decked out in a glittery outfit with gloves going above the elbows. Most of this chapter takes place with Anri posing on a pool table.

Chapter eight is more cosplay. This time, Anri is a white pussy cat.

She’s wearing a bikini with fuzzy ties and strings, furry white wrist bands, plus a tail, and cat ears. I’m not quite sure how her top managed to stay on as it seemed to being barely clinging to her. I didn’t think that they needed her to lap up milk out of a saucer – but hey – ‘cats’ do what cats do. Right?

Nine takes us back out doors Anri wears high heels and a red backless, sideless, and cut to the waist dress that reveals more than covers her body. The dress seemed wildy out of place for the setting which was a derelict, strewn with graffitti structure – that just happened to have a sofa covered by a clean sheet on hand.

Ten begins with Anri wearing a skirt, a blouse, and stockings. She welcoming us into her bathroom, and then she ‘accidently’ falls off the bathtub’s edge while still fully dressed. Now that her clothes are soaked – we can safely guess that they will come off. And they do – soon enough, Anri is left with just a bra and panties.

Time for her to lather up. As we’ve over and over, in this type of bath scene – Anri applies soap to herself, and then to us. Anri’s bra seemed about one cuo size too small for her heavy breasts. That’s not a complaint. Think of it as setting the scene for this excellent chapter which also included Anri pressing you know what against the glass. Then we get a glorious rinsing off. Wow.

Easily the best chapter in the video.

Eleven is the last chapter. To start with,Anri is set up on the sofa. She’s wearing a beautiful bra with floral appliques. After a bit, she moves over to the bed. She dims the light, then, watch carefully – someone with a small water spritzer is going to make Anri glisten with droplets of water.

After the closing credits we get a brief tee-shirt signing segement, then an abbreviated preview of the other half of the double release (LCDV-40889).

Summary: Another superb Anri DVD. She’s not only busty and beautiful, but she’s also got a terrific outgoing personality. If her figure isn’t enough, then for sure she can win you over because she knows how to look right at you. In my opinion, Anri does this (make eye-contact) better than any other gravure model working these days. Four point five is the rating – and this one isn’t that far from being a perfecto. The only reson for the loss of half a point is that there was one too many oral scenes, and a few scenes that cried out for a musical track that they didn’t give us.

Mikie Hara – Kimi ga Subete (October 21st, 2011)

Takeshobo

Catalog # – TSDV-41383 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 84 Minutes

The Skinny: A dream vacation – Is spending time on a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean with a Gravure Idol, and an actress like Mikie Hara something you’d consider? Well, since you are already reading this review – we all know that you’d answer affirmatively. It is always a pleasure to see her in a new video. Mikie has appeared on our pages so many, many  times that it is hard to come up with something creative and interesting. But I’ll give you a nice peek at the video anyway.

This DVD, from the prolific Takeshobo studio, has 10 Chapters, a bonus chapter which in this case, is like a blooper reel, a Profile, some previews of other videos, and a set of 15 picture which you can view as a slide show. So along with Mikie’s 80 minutes, this is quite a nice package. The pictures right below are from the slide show.

Of the ten chapters, Mikie has a standard portfolio of settings that seem to always show up in her videos. She will usually have some scenes with either a beach ball or a soccer ball – this video has both. Mikie has to pump up the soccer ball herself.

Or she’ll be studying …

Relaxing indoors …

Off for a swim in a pool …

Looking glamorous in a nice dress …

just goofing around in bed …

or out for a walk on the beach …

Where ever you find Mikie Hara, she will look good.

Summary: As I said above, Mikie has been in so many videos, that’s there’s not much new I can write about her. This particular DVD has some nice qualities to it in that the inclusion of a ‘blooper reel’ showed us that Mikie is a good sport, and can even have a good laugh at her own expense.

Technically, this was a well made DVD. The music had variances to it, but the rap hip/hop was a bit overplayed. Mikie doesn’t do any scenes with a strong sexual quotient to them. She goes for fun and playful rather than hot and alluring.

As the title suggests – Kimi ga Subete or You are Everything, therefore,  I’m scoring this one at four point zero, and calling it another successful Mikie Hara DVD.

Rui Kiriyama – H na Danryoko (October 19th, 2011)

Trico

Catalog # – TRID-194 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time:75 Minutes

The Skinny: Yes, Rui Kiriyama is back on our pages. This one, H na Danryoko, from Trico, is the 11th Rui title that I’ve reviewed. I was late in reviewing this one – so much so – that her next release has already been announced, at least partially. It will be from I-One, the release date is January 20th, 2012, and the cat # is LCDV-40502.

The opening main chapter we will call Playing in the Bath. Simply there’s a lot of soapsuds filling the tub which is huge and made of black marble. In contrast to the large amount of soap, Rui is wearing just a small amount of costume. This bath area is also notable for its floor to ceiling windows on at least two sides. It is a beautiful room lacking only something known as privacy.

Bikini could be the name for Chapter 2. Rui’s hair is up off her neck. She’s been stationed on a wooden deck overlooking the pool area. In all honesty the theme of this chapter has nothing to do with a swimming pool. This chapter is all about a bikini model who fits into the category called Voluptuous almost perfectly. The images prove the point.

White Tank is next. Once again we are out of doors. There are wooden beams, paper lanterns, and a large wood picnic table. The background is a red brick structure along with the leafy and wooded countryside. As yet I’ve no idea where the video was shot.

This white tank is quite snug and instead of revealing as much bare flesh as we saw in the previous bikini chapter, this one is more about emphasizing Rui’s curves. But there is lots of cleavage on display as well.

Bed is a self-explanatory title. It’s a big, big bed. Rui has time to play with the pillows, or bounce around. When she’s doing something else, it’s quite likely to be flashing the bottoms of her boobs.

Her top is a cut-off sweater. It’s low cut, and has just two buttons. Will Rui open one of them? Her panties have a logo on the backside which reads Love Pink. Yeah, me too!

Black with White Dots Apron is not nearly as good of a title as the earlier Chapter names that I made up. But this chapter plays better than it reads. I mean check out this view below. Excellent indoor lighting in this chapter, and the small breeze was effective too. Maybe we should have called this one stacked and packed.

There’s a Part II as we move from indoors to an outdoor patio. The lighting suffers a bit.

But hey, Mother Nature may have bestowed some of her beauty to Rui, but she held back in providing better natural light this time.

Let’s give this chapter a round of applause – stacked and packed, indeed!

Checked Bikini Top takes us back inside. There’s a setting of furniture, a revolving glass door as well as some incidental plants and even a tree with yellow blossoms. But the main blossom is of course Rui and the twins.

In the next one , Rui wears an Orange Dress as she cavorts in a Children’s Playground. Despite the evident wobbling boobs beneath the dress, this was easily the weakest chapter on the DVD. Rui still tries hard to make it fun. It’s just that this type of garment, which has the look and feel of a towel, isn’t quite the stuff dreams are made of.

Office Lady is a Chapter that you know and recognize. The white blouse, short skirt, black shoes, and pantyhose are standard issue; and there’s almost a certainty that Rui is going to shed some clothes in this chapter.

First to come off are the panty hose; however it seemed like forever for this to finally happen. In fact they even made a cut – so we didn’t see the finishing steps. I guess those pesky shoes were the problem If you watch carefully, you’ll see Rui reflected on the black marble briefly.

Eventually we do get to the red zone, and we have Rui down to the basics or said another way – the bare minimum: a bra and panties.

In the second part, Rui works on some fruit. This was drawn out a little too long. But net/net, the fruit is a welcome change from the usual oral props like a lollipop or an ice cream on a stick.

Six minutes left and Rui is out on a city street wearing what looks like an expensive slip. The buses roll past her, and the neon glitters. Finally she heads back indoors, and we find her in the same marble bath once again. This time – sans soapsuds. She looks sleek, her slip clings to her curves, he lustrous black hair is wet. A very nice way to end the main chapters.

Summary: Although I’m not sure of where this video was shot – Rui attempted some elementary Chinese at least a few times. We definitely hear her say Ni Hao (hello) and Xie xie (thank you). The city street looked to me to be a Chinese city street as well. If you know where this is, or can read the characters, please let me know with a comment.

As for this video – I thought it was excellent. The director chose to emphasize Rui’s statuesque figure. There were a multitude of shots that were good enough to cause you to make the ooh and aah sounds again and again. He also chose to make each of the main chapters silent at least as far as not having Rui speak. She only talked during the behind the scenes or making of segment. The rest of the chapters had only music tracks beneath the visuals. Beyond that each chapter had at least three different pieces of music – the trick to that is that none of the tunes ever finished. They just faded out and a new tune began.

But all in all – Rui”s as good as it gets in the gravure field. Chapters, Behind the scenes with Rui talking, and a slide show round out the DVD’s menu. Four point five is the rating. Of course, I am recommending this one and am looking forward to seeing her again in six weeks or so.

Tomomi Nakagawa – Bakunyu Sengen!

Grab It / Orostak Soft

Catalog # – GRAB-0008 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 80 Minutes

The Skinny: Back for another go-round on our pages is the beauty Tomomi Nakagawa. The title is Bakunyu Sengen! We had our first look at Tomomi in her DVD called Gypsy. If I were to pull a quote from that review which was published in late February of 2011, I’d say, “…we get an excellent sense of what the big bust and high spirited Tomomi Nakagawa is all about. Four point zero – and I’d like to see more of this model. This DVD is recommended.”

That was then, but, apparently folks agreed with my assessment because she’s been busy. In addition to this new review, I will, in the near future, give you a look at a pair of her DVDs from before this one: Chonyu and Junction (covers are above).

The opening chapter has Tomomi on a windy beach. She’s decked out in a green and gold ensemble with a pink trim plus pink sandals. Truly a color-coordinated outfit. The top is rather clingy which is fine as it accentuates her curves.

She’s going to tease for awhile next to a rock formation on the beach. Eventually the green and gold go away leaving Tomomi in just a small bikini which is a perfect outfit for a few minutes of jogging on the beach, followed by some more restful simple posing.

‘Hi, I’m Tomomi and I’ll be your server today’. That’s what we would hear if this poolside was an actual restaurant (and if Tomomi was speaking English). But it’s not and she doesn’t.

A low-cut brown top reveals a lacy bikini top in white. Which ties in with her apron and white knees socks. The cute maid’s tiara and matching stocking tops completes the costume. Instead of bringing us food or drinks – what’s on the menu today is a tasty serving of cleavage.

“The doctor will see you now. Do you suppose we could ask him to wait a bit longer?”

Chapter Three is an old standard in the gravure business – the nurse costume. It’s a white affair with a front zipper. Beneath that are a matching black with pink lace trim bra and panties. There’s a stethoscope in play briefly, and a bed is the location. Works for me. There’s a surprise under that bra that awaits. No, not bare flesh, not a hand bra, instead, we see … along with a deep cleavage … five petals floral pasties. While we do see a lot of Tomomi in this chapter, the scene is kind of slow moving as is the music. What’s missing is most accurately called – zip.

Four is workout time – a tee shirt and shorts plus high-topped sneakers to start with. After a brief bit of jogging, Tomomi settles in on a wooden staircase. The tee-shirt has a see-through quality to it, so we know there’s a bikini beneath it. A safe bet is that we will see the bikini soon enough. Sure enough we see it – a metallic pink number offering seemingly yards of cleavage. The wooden staircase led up to a slide, that delivers Tomomi right into the pool. Splash.

Five has Tomomi in a pink bunny outfit. There’s a definite pattern to this DVD – bright pinks, and healthy dollops of cleavage in every scene. There’s a leather sofa and it’s a gentlemen’s club style room.

Six takes us back to the shore. Tomomi begins with a lacy dress as she poses on the beach. What’s underneath? BOOM! Not a pink bikini but a miniscule snakeskin patterned red bikini – clearly the smallest in the entire video. It is an exotic beach with plenty of boulders in the sea, and on the beach. Pun most definitely intended. This is a lovely setting and a wonderful model. The piano music track didn’t quite fit – but most likely, you won’t notice.

Seven begins with Tomomi as an OL – that’s ‘office lady’ to me and you. Which means a standard outfit – white long sleeve blouse, short navy or black skirt, stockings, nice shoes, and eye glasses frames – sometimes with lenses and sometimes without; more like a fashion accessory rather than an optical aid. Tomomi is at a desk, but is actually seated on a tatami mat on the floor, with pillows of course. Speaking of pillows, yup, the twins will get ample screen time. Her blouse is opened, her skirt lowered then removed.

There’s Tomomi on top of the desk. The sound track has … the sound of the ocean hitting a shore And some ethereal vocals. Seemed strange. I’m wondering – are those panty-hose going to come off or what? Still this (below) is an interesting angle, no?

And finally it is time for Tomomi to shed the panty-hose. Like we didn’t know it was coming. There’s a brief fade out, a second or so – and then, when we resume – the blouse and the bra have gone off to the copy room, leaving Ms Nakagawa to rely on a hand-bra..

Well we had Tomomi as a bunny, and in the next chapter, she’s a black cat. I’m noticing the cat ears and the tail. The rest of her costume is black with straps, sections missing from her top, a drawstring mini-corset, and some fishnet mesh on her arms and around her middle. It’s kind of a sexy costume, but maybe this scene should have been indoors rather than out in the sunshine. That was the last of the main chapters.

Summary: I’m impressed by the model. Besides having a killer body and a great smile, she seems to possess a good deal of poise.

This video asked Tomomi to do a lot of talking. You see, between each chapter, Tomomi would introduce the coming chapter and discuss three things. Right – each time, three things. They seemed like they were done in one take as I didn’t notice any cuts.

On the other hand, it seemed like an unnecessary gambit as it didn’t add much visually – maybe the whole point was to present Tomomi as good with speaking roles. Is a career in TV and the movies in the cards for her. I can’t say, but it looks like she could handle it.

So about the only complaints were those included 3-2-1 segments throughout, some of it was a little slow, and the music was nothing get excited about. But this Tomomi is just great to watch. Four point zero and recommended.

Tama Mizuki – Mizuki no Kimochi (November 25th, 2011)

Air Control / Melon

Catalog # – OME-110 – All Regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 92 Minutes

The Skinny: She’s back for her 3rd release in the 2011 calendar year, and her 4th release in less than a year’s time. Tama Mizuki formerly known as Hitomi Kitamura has proven herself a successful and well loved gravure idol since her debut DVD Yurero Omoi which hit the shelves back in May 2006. Counting a few re-releases and a boxed item she has released close to 30 titles. She’s quite a popular idol. This title, Mizuki no Kimochi is a welcome addition to my collection, and marks my first review in more than a month. I’ve got a decent amount of backlog so check back often for updates.

A down-turned mouth is a sign of not being pleased. We saw this until the very last minute of the video when she thanked the crew and us.

After a rather energetic and exciting montage (2:30 minutes), our DVD gets off to a rather slow start. She’ll meet with a producer in a plain office and while we don’t see him, we hear him. They’re discussing the video and he gives her a written shooting script and schedule of the scenes. As they talk, the camera peeks between her legs and looks down from behind her into her cleavage. We hear her say ‘making’ so this first part is a documentary – reality segment. Next she leaves and heads over to wardrobe to put on her costume for the 1st scene. It’s not much of a costume, a small fuzzy sweater and brief panties. We don’t know it the moment, but we are going to get these reality segments between each of the main chapters.

Finally we get the 1st main chapter or scene. After some posing, it is mostly Mizuki bending over and we watch her breasts dangle and swing. Truly – that is most of the chapter.

Two is in a small bedroom. Mizuki wears a bikini (red and white stripes) and a cut-off shirt that reads LOVE. This scene is mostly of her jumping up and down on the bed. That’s part I. The second part is rolling around on the bed. There’s plenty of cleavage to gaze at – but the scene is shot rather unimaginatively, just like the first scene. Towards the end of the chapter, the cut-off shirt comes off and we see that her bikini top is on the small side.

More reality follows briefly. Mizuki heads back to wardrobe and next we see her in a yellow and white bikini trying to hit a whiffle baseball with a bat. Two pitches are thrown – there’s one miss and one with just a minimum amount of contact. But the rest of the chapter involves a water hose, then a big beach ball – big enough for Mizuki to sit on and bounce. So for the third time, in the first three main chapters, we have bouncing, jiggling, or swinging boobs.

But this chapter has a different ending. After some bouncing on the beach ball, Mizuki asks for the bat again, and they hand it to her. She then asks for the ball – expecting to hit again. But the director says in English ‘not today’. He explains that he wants Mizuki to use the bat by putting it into her cleavage. She acts suitably crestfallen and disappointed. But she gives it a go for a while but we can see plainly that she doesn’t like it one bit. Soon she’s storming off refusing to do any more. We have now had Mizuki less than happy for the 3rd time, she’ll discuss her issues with the wardrobe girl. She’s almost in tears and 37 minutes have passed.

In the next chapter, Mizuki is wearing another revealing outfit – no surprise there thank you. She’s handed a tomato, and after asking why they’ve given her the tomato, soon upon instructions, she will begin to eat it as if it were a hand fruit. Well, tomatoes aren’t normally eaten as a hand fruit for obvious reasons. You’ll get juicy, wet, and messy. No surprise there as soon Mizuki heads off supposedly for a bath, which she will need. Once again, something will be done to her, and she’s not going to be pleased about. This time it is the clear gooey gel soap that is dripped on her from above.

Since her hands are now covered in the gooey soap liquid, she might as well have the bath. So, more soap is dripped all over her chest and butt. MIzuki is in a ‘endure it because it will soon end’ mood. Nary a smile to be seen. No bath water either. Now that IS a surprise.

Parking garage anyone? That’s our next location. Mizuki gets into a discussion with the director. She’s annoyed and refuses to do something. She keeps waiving him off, claiming she doesn’t like what she’s been asked to do.

He hands her a small camera. She’s almost in tears. Finally she agrees to do something – whatever it is.

Maybe she doesn’t like her outfit and doesn’t want to model in it. Then again, the camera as a bribe worked. Maybe it worked for the director to get Mizuki to do what he wanted.

We weren’t so fortunate, as this chapter is rather dull, and who wants to see an unhappy model?

The unhappiness continues as the next chapter begins, Mizuki is having her hands tied together above her head. Then they bring out two whiffle bats, a finger prod, a broom stick, and a feather duster to poke and prod her with. This is a symbolic assault. Mizuki ‘played’ along.

My choices were to watch or fast forward. Take a guess as to what I did.

The ninth chapter is when Mizuki is using the camera. I’m guessing because she seems to be looking at herself as she plays with her top, making her boobs jiggle. It is as if the camera was hooked up to monitor. Finally they go to a split screen. We have one view of Mizuki posing before a big camera, and the other view is what the big camera sees. The scene ran long, and even when she unclasped her bra, and held it against her breasts with her own left arm, it didn’t work for me.

Ten begins with Mizuki in a white blouse and a short black skirt. First she is doused with a few water pistols. Then she’s already quite wet – they bring out the heavy artillery – a water cannon. Poor girl. She’s soaked, unhappy, and her look shows a decidedly downturned mouth. Off comes the blouse, then the skirt leaving her in a bikini top, panty-hose and panties. Then she has to scrub and rub something which we can’t see. Finally at just about 1:17:53 they agree to let her out of her misery.

A full-fledged bath ensues. First she soaps up. Then its rub-a-dub-dub against the top of the outside of the bath tub. Finally, she sets dejectedly in the tub. She’s huddled, knees up, and looks forlorn as she is rinsed off by someone.

Seven minutes left. Mizuki poses indoors. At last they shoot a scene without doing anything to her. But she still looks morose. Ultimately we hear the Director yell Cut! and the crew erupts in applause. Hitomi thanks them, and us with a small smile. Roll credits. There’s some Scott Joplin-esqe ragtime music playing under the credits. At 1:32:50 Mizuki waves goodbye and leaves. The artist has left the building.

Summary: For some unknown reason, Air Control thought we might enjoy 90 minutes of a busty, curvy, and sexy model. Well yes; we would. But when they added in the element of having Tama Mizuki unhappy, smiling only infrequently, and offering protestations in almost all the scenes throughout the DVD, they lost me. The video was too long at 92 minutes, and while the theme was about a model who was unhappy during a shoot was a novel idea. this was NOT a fun experience all despite the fact that at the very end she looked at us smiled. I’m a huge fan of Tama Mizuki but can’t find any way to recommend this DVD. Two point zero.

Ai Shinozaki – Sweet Fruit (September 24th, 2011)

Takeshobo

Catalog # – TSDV-41376 – All Regions Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 78 Minutes of Main Chapters plus 5 Minutes Bonus

The Skinny: This is the first of the Ai Shinozaki double release from Takeshobo last month. This one is called Sweet Fruit, and I’m sure that exactly what you might be thinking of calling Ai when this one opens without a montage. Just Ai in a bed and she’s waking up and we’re thisclose to her when she says Ohayo or Good Morning.

Poor Ai – she has to make do with a small double bed. But since there’s no one else visually present – there’s ample room for her to pose beautifully and show off her lush figure. The camera doesn’t waste or squander the opportunity for some exciting close ups – just the kind that you and I like, and why I’m writing this review, as well as why you’re reading it. Those who just look at the pictures are forgiven. By the time the scene has ended, Ai has lost half of her clothing – but she did keep her undies on.

Well at least she and I are now fully awake. Chapter Two finds Ai down at the health club working out on many of the hi-tech exercise apparatus. Since I only see these instruments of torture – sorry – make that machines that actually help you reach your peak physically – in gravure videos, I am unable to name them.

After the gym – we find Ai poolside. After a batch of reverse sit-ups, Ai and the inflatable go right into the pool. The cameraman goes in too, in case you were wondering. We won’t see Ai actually swimming, but you will get to see her in a bikini against the metal banister that folks use to climb out of the pool.

At 22:11, the 4th Chapter commences. This used to be called the Doctor Sketch when it was done in The Sunshine Boys – only this time we lack the Doctor and have to settle for the nurse, who – surprise/surprise – is none other than Ai. She wields a terrific stethoscope, while looking smashing in her medical whites.

This is one of those nurses uniforms that unzips – and there’s a peach colored bikini lurking and waiting to make its appearance. This chapter was the source for the cover image. Not much happens in this chapter medically other than maybe your pulse quickens while watching Ai pose.

Chapter Five has Ai standing in a shallow rock pool. She wears a white mono-kini that seems to have been designed to be held together by some strings. Scissors are not allowed. While this scene was out under the sun – it seemed like they over used a reflector. There’s nothing wrong with natural light dudes. Only thing, that if you shoot during mid-day, with the sun almost directly overhead you will get some shadows or darkness on the models face as she looks down toward the camera.

The breezes were nice, and Ai wore her hair down which made the breeze noticeable. I mean normally you don’t see breezes. They’re known for their shyness.

Six is another workout. This time Ai goes lo-tech. She starts with a hula-hoop and as expected – she can’t keep it going for more than a few revolutions. So she tries and tries – to get us over our disappointment , Ai makes good use of a water hose to close out the chapter.

There’s Ai in a deeply cut sweater dress to start out the 7th stanza. She’s back in the hotel room and seems to be just idling away the time. As if she could read our collective minds – Ai will tug the sweater down to an off-the-shoulder look.

When she gets up on her hands and knees and leans forward you can almost see the Grand Canyon. There’s some kind of a top and matching panties under the sweater. It is a very revealing kind of a bikini but it isn’t very attractive – it doesn’t fit her well, it has ruffles, and is kind of a deep burnt orange color. I’ve seen better.

That leads us to bath time beginning around the 57 minute mark. This is the 8th Chapter if you are counting along with us. As the camera peers downward into an appealing and massive amount of cleavage, you might start to wonder what Ai is doing. She couldn’t be doing a bit of laundry could she? Finally after sudsing up her third piece of material we come to see that it is a kind of loofa, or something to apply soap to her own body with.

Well we know a rinsing off will come at some point. When you watch enough of these, you get a sense of what to expect. Just kidding. It turns out that this bath lacks a shower head. But all is not lost. Turns out that the tub has some strong sides to it. More than enough to support Ai’s sweet fruits.

Chapter Nine (the last of the main chapters) has Ai down by the beach. She sets up while still in the shade under some trees to apply some sun lotion. She talks to us intermittently, but I have no idea about what. Finally it is time to take the plunge. Ai starts out with her long tee-shirt over her yellow bikini. The front has the Ford logo – and the back designates her as The All American Girl. At 1:10:30 the tee shirt finally comes off and Ai starts to jog on the beach. Nice to watch with plenty of different camera positions and angles. Plenty of variety.

Eventually, Ai sits down in the shallows as the gentle waves head for the shore, then recede back to where they started. She’s going to roll over onto her belly so we can get a shot like this one. As the scene winds down, Ai will have to brush all that sand off her body. As the final credit roll – we learn that this one was shot in Saipan.

In the bonus chapter – we will see Ai in that tube where she did some laundry along with her bath (just kidding) we do find out that the bath tub did have a shower function. So I was wrong.

Summary: But you won’t be wrong if you choose to watch this DVD. It is a better than average DVD. There’s really not a thing wrong with it. After all this is an extraordinary model whose career could last for quite some time – unless of course she can break in and be successful in  more mainstream entertainment like Music, Movies and TV.

I’m scoring this video on the generous side at four point five zero. The four images above assembled into a collage are from the slide show. Enjoy.

Aoi Suzune – Suzune no Torisetsu (September 22nd, 2011)

E-Net Frontier

Catalog # – ENFD-5342 – Region 2 Disc – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: Main Chapters – 86 Minutes plus 8 minutes extra

The Skinny: This was one of those DVD’s that I bought without having seen the model before. What you would call a purchase ‘based on the cover image’ only. Happily ,I can report that the DVD is pretty good.

the DVD has a basic and generic gravure format of montage, 10 chapters, plus a bonus chapter and a profile. The general tenor of the video is to push the envelope in terms of skin displayed, but there’s not that much in the way of overt sexuality. Two oral scenes include one with a lollipop and one with a juicy papaya fruit. Beyond those general terms you can expect the expected – swimming pool, beach, bath, and a bedroom for settings. Then a nurse cos-play scene, a massage, a work-out with a big beach-ball, and the best is the mono-kini which has to be seen to be believed. I mean words alone can’t do this rig justice. Have a quick peek right now (below).

The first of the main chapters opens at 7:10 on the clock Aoi is asleep. A surreptitious person has access ti the room. He peels away the covers, and uses a pointer to poke and prod Aoi until she awakens. He shows her a camera manual then we see the camera enter the scene,

The rest of the chapter has Aoi bouncing or jiggling on the bed with an occasional intrusion of the pointer. Towards the end of the chapter Aoi will remove her top and her panties after wrapping herself in the bed sheet.

Two has Aoi in a gold lame bikini. There’s some straightforward glamour posing before she enters the swimming pool. Once in the water, the images switch over to underwater mode, and these are very effective. The chapter concludes with Aoi nursing a mango popsicle. Take note of the underwater views of Aoi’s caboose.

Three has Aoi in a beige slip. Clearly we see her nipples poking up beneath the slip. Nothing new about that except for the fact that this is an outdoors scene. We will see that Aoi is near a stream and that she’s going to her best to make this chapter into an event similar to a wet tee shirt.

Four is also outdoors and this is a massage scene. Or at least it begins as a kind of massage scene with one main difference – Aoi is standing.  So actually someone is putting sunscreen all over her body. Aoi wears a very small red bikini with white stars including a thong panty. She’ll actually go into the water and get wet. She jogs then rolls in the sand. Actually this was an excellent chapter. Aoi looked cute with her hair done up in pig-tails.

Five is the nurse cos-play scene. Actually it includes Aoi in normal mode and we enter her room with the nurse costume in hand. I guess we explain that this is a scene that she will have to do. She agrees and asks us to leave the room while she changes into the costume. Only we don’t leave. We work the camera and watch from behind the not quite closed door as Aoi changes. But wait there’s more. In the actual nurse cosplay, we are the patient. Aoi is the nurse. As is the custom, Aoi will take our temperature and determine that we will probably feel better (genki arimasu)if she opens up the top of her nurse costume and reveals her bra-encased breasts. I’m not sure about the patient, but I felt better when this happened. There’s still more – we apply the stethoscope directly to Aoi’s nipple under her bra and we help pull off her panty-hose.

Six is the workout on the lawn overlooking the sea. There’s a hula hoop and a big beach ball and then some jump rope. It seems that the whole point of the chapter is to get plenty of looks into Aoi’s cleavage as she has to bend over to pick up the hoop time and time again.

Or when she struggles to balance on the ball. Maybe we see more cleavage as she jumps rope.

But the shot I chose to illustrate this chapter is near then end, when Aoi is simply cooling off.

Seven is a hands on massage scene. We are indoors and Aoi is wearing that brief bikini that we see on the DVD Box. This time we get the full treatment with hands actually full on her boobs even under the bikini top. The chapter ends with Aoi wrapped up in a sheet. She will then take off the bikini top and end the chapter with the very popular and famous hand-bra.

Eight is the previously mentioned monokini chapter. There’s Aoi posing in what looks like an open air restaurant.

You’ll notice a menu in English but offering Japanese dishes like Yakisoba, Omu Rice, and Katsu Curry Rice. The prices  look like Yen so quite likely this is Okinawa.

Then suddenly, there’s Aoi, still in the monokini, but now tethered at the hands and blindfolded. Here comes a guy to tantalize her with feathers, then a pointer, and finally – some liquid is squirted onto her body.  Looks like a small water pistol was the weapon of choice.

The blindfold is removed, and then we see that the top of the monokini has been lowered and now her boobs are covered by clear red tape. Then someone cuts the tape, and leaves the room.

Nine is a shower scene. But only for a short moment just to get us wet. Aoi then rubs some soap onto us. We aren’t seen or even in the picture, but Aoi is doing something to someone. It might as well be us, at least from the point of view shown to us.

But the last part of this chapter has hands fully applying soap to Aoi. Her bra stays on – but these hands are in full massage mode. This is about as daring as we’ve seen for a massage in a gravure DVD. By the time the chapter ends, the bra has come off and Aoi’s is wearing only some strategically placed shaving cream.

Ten is the last of the main chapters. As we’ve seen so often, this a bedroom, seduction scene. Aoi wears the requisite lingerie and fish net stockings. The room isn’t anything to admire which might be why we don’t see any of it. The lighting is  direct – meaning a lamp attached right to the camera. By the end of the chapter, Aoi’s bra has come off. Fade out.

The bonus chapter is also nothing to write home about. But it runs for nearly eight minutes.

Summary: A decent video and a sexy model. She got a curvy body, and she will show it off to your distnct pleasure. I’m scoring this one at a four point zero, and that’s being generous. I would like to see this model again.

E-Net Frontier

Catalog # – ENFD-5341 – Region 2 Disc  – 16:9 Aspect

Running Time: 89 Minutes (Main Chapters) plus 4.5 Minutes bonus

The Skinny: I thoroughly enjoyed Airi Nagasaku’s last DVD called Erochika, so I had high hopes for this new video. Airi’s been in the game awhile, but she’s not very active: her 1st DVD was released in May of 2006, and this one, her second of 2011, is only her 7th release. Seven videos in almost six years is quite a relaxed pace. In any event, I’m glad for this new release.

We approach the stately and grand Japanese hotel. I don’t know the name of this one and categorically I can state that I’ve not seen it before. But it looks like we are going to be in the company of the delightful Airi for our visit. After a brief chat in the lobby, we are in a tatami room with Airi. She’ll pour some tea, then offer a massage. Looks tempting, doesn’t it?

Things improve when we lift up Airi’s sweater and begin to pat the side and bottoms of her breasts. Airi doesn’t protest strongly beyond saying chotto a few times. After we stop, Airi still has her sweater tugged up and one set of panties tugged down to just above the knees (she wears two sets) – the camera peeks at her from below the table. For the finale of this chapter, Airi’s bra comes off [but the sweater stays on].

Next Airi shows up wearing a towel – this is the water tank scene. Beneath the towel Airi wears panties but nothing else. After some posing topless, the bath portion begins. Airi is now wearing a bikini top as she soaps up. This time we show up in the the ladies’ bath armed with a bath brush to prod and poke Airi’s boobs and butt. Once again Airi protests (but not really) but still manages to look absolutely wonderful.

Next we are back in the room. Airi wears an elegant yukata. She pours a beer for us then we return the favor. There’s food as well as drink. Once again the camera peeks at Airi from below the table.

While Airi is dressed differently, this scene is basically the same as the first one. The main difference is the lighting. This time it is night, and the scene is shot with direct lighting. I think shooting a scene with a woman laying back with her knees up – twice in the first three chapters – is not only repetitive, but is also distinctly unimaginative.

Chapter 4 is set in a western style hotel room. Airi comes in wearing a light blue sweater and black panties (another round of two sets of panties – you can see the t-backs beneath). She wakes us up, after that there’s a lot of giggling and jiggling plus ample cleavage shots, as her sweater somehow slips down off her shoulders. We don’t see it (the slipping down of the sweater) happen, it’s just the way they edited the clip. Lots of giggling once more. That’s three out of four chapters with Airi giggling up a storm. Fortunately it only lasts for a brief time. This is also the third time in four chapters that Airi has sort of simulated sex while laying on her back with her knees up. And in case you forget, once again she’s wearing one pair of panties over another.

The fifth chapter begins with Airi in a blouse, skirt, and eye glasses. An appointment is arranged by phone. She meets us in  hotel room where, after all this planning and talking, we present her with — a lollipop. Scintillating? Of course not. But the lollipop is done by the two minute mark of this chapter. More of the double layered pantie shots, more of Airi on her back with her knees up, and then the blouse is opened at the 4 1/2 minutes mark. Then at the seven minute mark, the lollipop re-appears. Sorry, if this boring to read, think of how uncreative this director is. Airi is really a beauty, so you can find a way to muddle through. The when we pass the nine minute mark, we go back to the showing of the panties once more. Then to make sure we haven’t noticed the lack of creativity, there’s Airi on her back once more, with her knees up once more, and with the pseuding humping, once more – Aargh.

Chapter 6 has us back at the bath house again. Airi sits on the far side, and someone get’s her all wet with the hand held shower nozzle.. She will lower the yukata to the off the shoulders level and iffer up some cleavage. When she’s up on her hands and knees, with th yukata open, there’s more peek-a-boob. Then the yukata goes away , and once more Airi stands in the tank wearing panties and a towel.

The seventh stanza begins with Airi in the kitchen. She soon departs the kitchen, this time working on a popsicle. Once the popsicle get sufficient screen time – we find Airi again in the bathroom. We manage to splash enough water on her so that her dress becomes diaphanous.  Eventually Airi’s dress is opneed to reveal a bra with strong underwiring. For the last two and half mminutes, she will side on the side of the tub, facing away from us, but looking back toward us. What does she do for these two and half minutes? She rubs her right hip and upper thigh.

The 8th chapter has Airi back in the hotel lobby in the white sweater and short skirt that opened the video. She reads from a document, and doesn’t look happy. It must have been an ssignement for the next scene. She’s in a hotel room wearing a satin slip, black fishnet stockings and panties. We’ve seen this kind of scene before haven’t we?

Altogether now – 1) Lean backwrds, knees up, fake humping. But this is brief. Next Airi makes belive she’s being taken from behind. Her back is sweaty, and she whimpers a bit.

The 9th and last chapter has Airi blindfolded with her hands tied behind her back. She stands on a bed, and two people with feathers tickle her upper thighs, then her tail assembly. This time, once the feathers go away, Airi lies on her back, with one finger in her mouth for the next 5 minutes and change.

Summary; Definitely, for me Airi is a a great looking model. However for the money I paid for this DVD, I must tell you that it was singularly lacking in a creativity. Whether we were in a bedroom, or a room with tatyami mats, or whether we were in a large public bath or a private bath – each scene was the same.

It is too bad that the producer and director weren’t more creative in scripting some different styles. Basically they shot the same scene 9 times – changing only from wet to dry, or changing the locations – but it was the same thing 9 times in a row.

I really thought that Airi would give us something to stand and cheer about. As enthusiastic as you might be for the opportunity to watch this beauty – this DVD is a major let down.  Despite the excellent model, despite the superb shot composition, and despite the most excellent lighting and editing. they’ve given us a video that really lacks creativity. I’ll score this one at three point two five, and almost all of that is based on the model. With a lesser model, there score would have been no greater than three point zero.
