We’ll start with a little idle banter on the virtues of Nana’s impressive body, since it’s no doubt a primary concern with this sort of genre. The front cover does her body all the justice one could ask, it’s perfectly proportioned, with an extremely shapely midsection, evident very often through the DVD. The chest fits in very naturally, substantial, not too much so with a very pleasant balance between perk and droop. Though I cannot stand pubic hair, it’s at least managed presentably in this video, and not really much of a focus of the DVD. The breasts a little more so, but it’s not so much either of them that’s the main punchline of the DVD, but rather, as will be seen shortly, how she plays with them.
For the most part, the DVD does not really give her face the exposure it could have afforded to. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t say her body was boring by the end of it, but the real problem is the directing, when it actually does capture her face, it’s absolutely excellent. A very beautiful face indeed, but the color contrast it commonly gets is very vibrant on those shots, the black hair very intense and impressive, and though the eyes get a heavy dose of dark makeup it fits imperfectly with the impression the dark hair makes. The front cover scene (on the DVD the final scene) probably captures the best shots like that, and unsurprisingly I have to fast forward and rewind a bit to see them again, so that I have a chance of describing them accurately, they are so far and few in between! Either way, they are extraordinary, and even graced with a couple (but not more) choice smiles. Elsewhere in this scene, like so many others, her face is a direct response to the constant self masturbation she acts out. Fondling her reasonably proportioned bush, or chest, it’s all the same, a sleepy closed eyed stimulation face. Not that any face a girl like this makes can possibly be undesirable, but it’s highly repetitive. This scene begins with fairly bright lighting, almost like the cover, but quickly darkens. It becomes a little artsy, shaded, moody with some out of  focus shots, and becomes more so as she carries on the manual stimulation. Much of the focus is on how her hands play with herself, which I found very uninteresting. But that became very much so as the same footage of her doing the same thing to herself kept going on much longer than it should have, none of the shots towards the end of the scene were at all interesting, but eventually she finishes with herself and she then sinks down to the floor, rather tired it appears. The DVD closes then with her reflecting on her little self exploratory experience a she gazes out into a darkening tropical evening sky.

Other scenes attempt a similar plot oriented twist, but often revolving around her manipulating herself. A daytime bathroom scene opens with some tasteful footage of her in a rather beautiful thong, some nice abstract shots follow. This good quality directing lingers all too briefly however. Again, though, it drops into repetition, via the scenario of her going to the bath, undressing and fondling herself (for a rather long time). Anyway, the camera then simulates peeping, and though reasonably well co-ordinated, it views through some horizontally revolving window fixtures the whole scene, her touching her breasts and making the matching faces.
Essentially, that’s mainly the issue of the whole DVD, it begins with promise, and always subsides into the same thing, time after time. The only scene following this short-coming in a different manner would be the opening scene, which is a contrast to the rest of the DVD, a little happier, smiling and bright in the outdoor sunshine. Rather carefully, she introduces the “girls” to the camera, and some good natured and rather beautiful footage of her topless and posing by some nice antique water fountains follows. Generally nicely done. It became a little less effective as it moved on, more focused on heavier hoses of water dosing her completely, and some pretty unsuccessful underwater footage which would have been better off not there.
The only other scene worth mention would be the 2nd in line after the opening scene, and it seems to be determined to better the instance of underwater footage, and it does so surprisingly well. Much of that was aided by the sensible choice of location, the pool interior having a very nice tone and tiled blue pattern to it. The exterior light was suitably crisp for some remarkable effects and uncommonly so, extraordinarily beautiful views of her face. Very calm expressions, mixed with beautifully contrasted colors and shades om her face, with wet hair. Some of the directing made a point of having half the lense above water and the other below, which was a little different, was hardly as effective as I would imagine the producer himself thinking. Very nice details and abstracts of her body underwater do abound, surprisingly well done.
Elsewhere, we only have one more scene, which starting out not unlike the others, falls into the same masturbation trap and quickly becomes repetitive. A little unfortunate, 4 minutes into the scene she put on a nice thong which seemed to fit her nicely indeed and they could have found some good variety and footage with that. The did try to use it a little, but it did not last. Elsewhere between scenes, fillers are interspersed, though not more than 2, I quickly fast forwarded them, they’re not intended as visual entertainment.

For the most part, the DVD was doing a good job of making the outfits the main motivation, and with a model like Akiko it’s likely to succeed. None of the chosen outfits were particularly weak, and neither was there any generally poor lack of balance in quality of the scenes. Good quality but still relatively uneventful. My preferred scene would be the fishnet over black bikini top and nice black panties with a touch of lace on the front. Nothing very much happened throughout, though I’d care to comment on the nice interior setting and atmosphere, which was stylish neat and fresh. The green sofa creates a nice balance with the black outfit. Optimal lighting, her facial features came out well in this one. This scene focused heavily on the fishnets, which she removes gradually towards the end. It also has a good camera mix up, not really overdoing anything. It had a brief view of her on all fours with the rump up, nice view of her back but nothing more. It closes with spectacular close ups of her beautiful face and tossed around and luxuriously rich hair.

Many of the scenes in this video come across in a similar fashion, her retaining serious expressions, and a great deal of dignity with poses that emphasize her beauty rather than sexuality, the first scene comes to mind if you’re looking for more of the above. Occasionally we get outfits that stand out as a bit of a contrast. The second scene, outdoor & sunny ( a little too much so), has a nice small and glimmer y bikini top which catches the cameras eye.  It also has a nice flimsy fit on the bottom, thin strings on the hips, which we sadly only get a glance at infrequently. This scene treated her facial features beautifully.
Also, there’s a bit of bondage suggestions, but not very full blooded by any means. A leather wrist band with metal chain takes command of the opening of a scene later, it’s shortly dropped and a more typical, if a little more intimately taped scene follows.

My only qualm with this DVD is though she is gorgeous, she’s constantly in a state of being beautiful but subdued. Only in one scene she’s bright and cheery, and personally I like my Asian girls like that best. The smiles occur around the 30 minute mark into the DVD, a nice outdoor setting with bright natural lighting , along with a bit of facial expressions that I personally was impatient to finally have. A nice black leather bikini made it’s appearance in this scene. Not extrovert by any means, but a few fabulous smiles do occur in this one. It’s also a little short, unfortunately.

The treatment of make-up was generally not big on the agenda in this production, mostly the same, and changes in hair styling did make some noticeable appearances. 20 minutes in is yet another black bikini scene, but with over-abundantly curled hair. It’s not attractive to me, but it’s pronounced enough to be good stuff for anyone that likes that specifically. Otherwise the hair had some nice treatment in variety, some slightly curled, some quite straight (as in the first scene), others nicely arranged and up. The last scene opts for a nice dampened and wet look.

This final scene offered a good amount of variety to the previous ones in its peaceful and isolated setting and tone. It’s also the scene from the front cover. A nice dreamy light blue with moisture in the air fills this bath area interior scene. Though it begins with some white lotion dripping on her as she lies on the floor, it quickly improves. The outfit, a little odd, torn up and  unorthodox, works well. As usual, not particularly sexual or exciting, it does feature a truly beautiful girl and has marvelously relaxed and hazy feel to it, as long as you don’t mind the humidity.  Unsurprisingly, it’s mostly about her face again, and I honestly don’t hold it against the directing, it’s not something to get tired of easily. If the expressions appear to be the same as the rest of this DVD, here it did not bother me too much as the mood and execution were carried out convincingly.

And that’s just what the first two scenes set out to do. I think they do that spectacularly. The rest of the DVD much less so. So if a scantily clad thin body is what you came here for, here’s where you want to be. Of the two, the first was the best, a beach scene with optimal lighting,  bright blue and shining sun. Almost all strings here, and very little pink fabric, the top fairly transparent and bottom being tear-drop style. Teardrop style can often be uninteresting, depending on the quantity of fabric, but here I’d say they get it just right, thin and plenty of vertical pull to make it seem even thinner. A lot of nice views of her from behind while walking or moving her appealing behind, a very thin but attractive build she has. And from behind it’s nothing but white strings, no fabric to be had, nicely done. Her chest is nice and insubstantial, and nipples are evident when wet. Generally they stick to the basic formula for poses in this scene, though it’s above average for quality.

The second scene does not aim for variety, other than indoors and average lighting. Well, I suppose that, the neko mimi, and nice large holed fishnet stockings too. Otherwise we get another fabulously tiny thong and poor excuse for a top. The top here is very clingy, horizontal in its stretch across the almost flat chest and incredibly thin. If this sounds like your thing, I really recommend it. The bottom also has a different fit, but enticingly tiny. It’s also thin fabric and hugs curves very well. Bumps belying the shape of the labia and clitoris are not hard to find. Exactly 20 minutes in is the winning pose, bridging the gap between the beds beds with her legs and spreading out, she sticks it all in the direction of the camera, and it all just sits together nicely, I’d say. It’s easy to admire her perfectly shaped back. Howeverm if you’re into the on the back with legs tucked in to the chest type of ass worship poses, there’s some of that done nicely as well.  Later the scene has the top stripped off, and everything else too for that matter, but the scene lost a lot of it’s sexual energy at that point.

Well, if that got your enthusiasm going, the ensuing set of scenes would probably feel like a cold shower. They did for me at least. I’ve always had a single-minded enthusiasm for the provocation thongs offer, and the whole cotton full underwear is nothing but boredom for me. If you feel otherwise, the next 2 scenes might work for you. The first one is a take on the school-girl gym attire, which has the shorts dropped in favor of the whole cotton panties. Too much clothing for me, though, sorry. The next one started with a popsicle being put into her mouth right from the start, so I was immediately unsure. Using less than glamorous lighting, I only found the bathing suit (skin toned and very clingy material, affording a great deal of camel toe)  worn as mildly appealing, but it had minimal effect after the first two scenes had passed so recently. A little anti-climactic, but still nice attire.

About 50 minutes in, the scene from the back cover comes in, and it also makes a huge contrast to what we expect and had enjoyed at the start. It grabs the attention with bright and crisp natural lighting in a bathtub scene, the bright white is offset with an attention grabbing green plant on the side. Her little patterned top also adds to the visual impression. In addition to that, they make a significant effort to dress up her face nicely and naturally. Very, very pretty girl I found myself saying, the back cover does her justice, unfortunately only in this scene. It then goes a tad awry…. Though we get very few nice glances at her pretty face, they really should have done more. Then, it becomes clear that the main focus of the scene is the odd water-dripping-off-the wet-panties fetish. It actually goes past fetish to  more like obsession. I guess it’s captured rather well for what it is, but that’s basically it. Various close up views of her medium full coverage panties getting doused by the shower-head. There are occasional moments where the directing is making an attempt at being sensitive to light effects and creative angles, with wet underwear being always the pre-occupation. There is some element of variety, but it really all boils down to close-ups of a doused pelvic area, and is rather repetitive and impersonal since there’s little else. There isn’t much visibility in the transparency of the wet fabric either, naturally, one would hope for something that would slide by the censorship, but it’s not the case.

An ok school girl scene goes by next, complete with full cotton panties, and we arrive at the last scene, the cover scene. It’s not bad. It loses by considerable margins to the first scene in skimpy apparel though. Sure it’s a stringy blue thong, and the top was nicely fit, but it’s got nothing on the first part of the DVD. A little bit of idle posing and stretching the fabric against the nipple leads to some extended ass worship with her on all fours in the sand. That’s followed by frontal pelvic areas dropped right up into the camera, which is nice, though a little expected and formulaic. She loosens the fabric by pulling at it and it hangs in an enticing way. That’s about where that ends.

The Pin-Up series has done other releases, I’ve not really watched them yet (but I generally look forward to them), but from what I did their directing is good. This is not so much departure from that, and I don’t think it’s a weak DVD really either, it just had decent portion that appealed to me deeply, the rest was no good. Anyone else might find it otherwise, so feel free to check it out yourself.

A few ways I could go about trying to describe the impression her features make: Charming, exciting, good natured and very sincere. Her eyes and expressions are often refreshingly lively and alert. But they have a decidedly unique flavor that I enjoy greatly, and the directing really allowed me to enjoy that to the fullest. Let’s not be casual about that last statement, since that’s primarily what I am here for, and when a video delivers what I crave exactly the way I like it, I think a nod of acknowledgment is necessary. As mentioned earlier, it is well balanced, so that lovable face get’s exactly the right amount of exposure along with that stunning body to match. I walk around talking big as if I have been doing this for years (well, I have, but for a long time it was mainly restricted to the process of *collecting* the videos, rather than watching as much as I do recently, hence necessity for the blog), but that bombshell of a body did catch me by surprise. Her face is not particularly well defined or angular. The front cover does not belie any excessive degree of shape in her body either (I rather think it does not flatter her behind all that well, actually, as occurs a few times during the video). But when you glance at that exemplary midsection part way through the 1st scene, the impression it makes is highly tangible. Wish I had a abdomen like that, but not with all the beer I’ve been downing last month. I have ambitions to bring my body fat down to 8% in the next 6 month stretch, but I’ll tell you my stomach will never be as shapely as hers. And it’s not that it’s in any way unfeminine either. Of course, on the upper side of the torso are her magnificent breasts, I’d never tire looking at those. They do drop (read that as sag, if you must)a little more than the average ones would, but I’ve always had an open mind to breast shape and dynamic. Some people might not like hers for that reason. Her rear department is not the best, but it  withstands prolonged stares very nicely, nevertheless, she’ll always rely on her chest for biggest impact. Anyway, point being, the video makes the entire portrayal above happen on video, so if that sounds good, this is definitely the one to watch.

As for camera work and variety, it’s extremely balanced. We get some no-frills type scenes like the one where she’s role playing as a tour guide on a bus. With sexy stockings like those, anyone would sign up for that trip. It is however a plain scene, and her features and lively expressions sustain interest nicely. It has plenty of stripping and sultry posing too. The tennis court scene was also rather low budget, but here her body took center stage. At the start of it she swings that tennis racket with such incredible vigor, she really means business. Of course, it wouldn’t move so fast if she wasn’t so damn fit. It’s at this point that it’s difficult to behold such generous breasts on such a tight abdominal area. So tight that she has some rather odd (but slight) protrusion right above the top abdominal, looks like a bone. Not really distracting, but it’s certainly there. Maybe she needs to develop some muscle mass. I’d love to know how many hours a week she spends in the gym though, seriously. She makes a couple genuine sprints in this scene running after the ball to hit it, and it’s pleasant to see such a body in athletic motion. Of course, that teasingly short skirt helps a ton, and the bikini bottom under that (and in total view) is distracting to say the least. And, of course, those expansive breasts are not going to sit still on such a wild ride, are they? In fact, it could be me, but, I had the feeling I saw some areola slips there. If you’re a specialist in this department, you might want to start your investigation there. As if to remind us exactly how feminine she is in contrast to that display, the scene gives ample views of some lovely smiles while she leans on the net in the middle of the court. As plain as some scenes are in production like those above, the are very watchable, I did not feel one bit impatient.

Now, on the other hand, the directing does know how to exert effort, as with the last scene, filled with paradoxes. Walking down the wedding isle in a church she wears a veil in combination with a garter and none too conservative white panties. The matching bra displays almost as much of the beasts as it does covering them. Japan sure knows how to mix it up. However, the main event is the directing which tries to give as much variety in views, distances and angles. She has a little too much make-up for my taste, but on some occasions her features can be breathtaking (like the last camera pan as she lies down back on the floor). The setting and color management are carried out masterfully, luminous white and deep passionate red/orange.  An extreme sense of imagination helped direct a rather unique closing scene that gives pretty much all one can sensibly want.

You also have your standard fare on this DVD too, and it’s certainly good stuff. The beach scene that kicks off the DVD is fabulous, filled with nicely caught smiles and really enjoyable views of super cleavage. The bikini top designer had generously elected to remove the middle part of the bra at the middle of the front. What a sumptuous view that affords. If you love breasts, it just does not get better than this.

Her breasts also do figure spectacularly in what is probably my favorite scene of the bunch near the 1 hour mark of the DVD. As oppose to the wedding scene at the end, the makeup here is very sparse, almost always the way I like it. Plain and pretty, as it should be in any sensible bath area scene. Despite a couple all too closely captured and mis-managed shots of her rear end, this was the strongest scene. Nice subdued blue and skin toned colors dominated this one. It offered the best quantity if views of her face and appealing body. The bikini had a floral texture to it with strings occupying the middle of the chest area, and generally had many nice features. As mentioned before, if you’re not into large breasts in an unsupported push-up bra this might not be the scene for you. Of course, it’s not to any excessive degree, but because this bikini top had no neck strings to offer support what was presented was a very large amount of exposure from the bottom of the neck all the way down to where the bra offered coverage. I found it deeply appealing, and the director found as much virtue in the shape as I did, apparently,  which satisfied me deeply. Plenty of opportunities to dwell on them, just the way I like it.

Well, maybe…. If you’re the type that feels a woman’s body is only appealing when it conforms to conservative proportions. Very often her breasts are astonishingly large in proportion to her torso, but not in a really bad way. In case you are wondering, I don’t find the Z-cup videos appealing,  I do employ discretion. She always has a stunningly shaped mi-section and lower back, so everything is always held together harmoniously. It’s not *out* of proportion, but rather a different proportion configuration. Also, personally, I’ve always had great enthusiasm in anime art, its liberty and how the artists over-exaggerate the female bust and butt. So if it gives you perspective, she reminds me of of an sexually over-styled anime character rather often.

After that terrible introductory trailer, luckily, the 1st scene is the beach scene which calls for bubbly energy which Ayami provides very nicely. So I kept watching with suspicion. The setting is fortunate to have a perfectly blue sky, rays of sunlight in great abundance. Now for the fun part: The abundance of the sun here has nothing on the abundance of lush curves on her marvelous body. The front cover does not lie about the explosive curves she has either. It’s for real, and it’s a sight to behold in an actual video. Dropping the jean shorts, she makes statement by sticking her exceptionally appealing rear (Clad in but a pink string) right into the camera, to kick things off. She turns out to be just that kind of girl, all the right mind blowing curves and ready to let the world enjoy them. Definitely not shy, and as the directing leads throughout the video. Generally the exposure levels are relatively modest, but her assets are frequently the center of attention. Also throughout the DVD T-backs contain a moderate amount of thickness and certainly no flaunting labias here. Back to the scene, the pink/yellow thong bikini is a fabulous choice, though the top is far from small, it certainly looks like the wrong size on a bust like that. A few camera pans are offered of her running in the other direction but with a fair distance from the camera, which means you get to enjoy the whole package from behind, not just the butt. Overall, it’s a sight to behold, since she’s of considerable stature and fairly tall, yet having a thin frame. All this with the curves on her behind chest make for a truly explosive combination. As expected, there’s also the typical front view of her running,  for the benefit of what the colossal appendages look like in full motion, not particularly appealing though. As with almost all scenes she drops the top and holds the chest with her hands, some entertaining squishing ensues.

The most accomplished scene starts about 25 minutes into the video, and it’s indeed the front cover scene. It’s another scene that takes advantage of excellent natural lighting conditions, and is frequently bathed in sunlight in very tasteful ways, in a tropical setting, apparently a resort. Her hair is arranged tastefully in a messy offset ponytail, and the hat didn’t really bother me too much (I’m not one that commonly goes for that type of styling). She wears a tie around band at the bust for most of this scene, and that looming chest is never far from sight. Again, the quantity of fabric on the chest area is hardly sparse, but the way the breasts swell above the horizontal stripe and below it too, has a way of belittling the size of it.  Many quiet and playful looks are afforded in this scene, very charming smiles.Some decent poses do occur to as she leans over a bar. Generally this scene so far is not overly erotic, and nicely balances setting, the chest everybody can’t help but stare at and her very appealing features. Eventually she drops the white skirt that has been covering her behind for most of the scene until here, and moves to type of bench. This part was really interesting, dropping everything but the white thong she’s on all fours, and the camera takes a view from above, and it becomes interestingly evident how thin she really is. It’s a gorgeous view of a spectacularly swan-like physique in its elegance . Several other scenes on the DVD make a point of putting her remarkable long and shapely back on center stage too, usually stretching and purposely arching her back. Very effective each time, it’s a beautiful sight. Unfortunately, she does not pose as she does on the front cover. That’s a one in a million shot, I’m afraid. But I’d say this scene does not let down the expectations that picture suggests too much, though either.

Other scenes are a mixed bag. We have your typical WTF production moments. We all love Japan,don’t we? they make fabulous cars (I would really like to buy a Rx-8 in a year and a half) and fabulous Gravure flicks, after all. What more could you want? So the circus begins, her giving serious tongue action to a vanilla ice cream bar, which is then followed a really bizarre piano scene. It’s not an actual piano, but a generic sized electric keyboard on which she demonstrates boob glissando(seriously). I mean, I always though those were performed with the fingernail on the key surface. However, for a truly quiet glissando sound, the soft flashy pad of the inner index finger can be used too.  So we do have variety at our disposal. But, it never occurred to me to use my chest, though. That’s probably cause I don’t have a 96 cm chest circumference (which the DVD cover proudly proclaims, naturally,  belongs to Ayami). Of course, if you think that’s an unorthodox approach to piano playing, you would then behold her bum drop on the keys (bedrapped in a thong, of course). She looks like she had a great time, and we’re certainly all for that.

Moving on, as mentioned earlier, there are conspicuous failures in make-up design. The last scene was an stab at the nocturnal beach genre which would have not been so poor had she not looked like she was 15 years older than the previous scene. I’ve seen drop dead gorgeous sultry Asian pulled off, though I’ll point out, rarely, but it certainly did not happen here despite their efforts. The other make-up failure was occurred earlier in the DVD (the third scene), where the producers responsible were just a little vague on the finer points of make-up and lighting  when they dosed way too much liners on her eyes and introduced harsh lighting. Granted, the lingerie was very tasteful, and the scene boasted plenty of lovely views of her behind. To it’s credit, it was also the only scene that employed pasties (for which i have an irrational enthusiasm). Alas, they were not pasties with the  best design, and did cover a little too much of the breast for my liking. Also, the scene had too much reclining, with Ayami on her back. Not the best arrangement to exploit to the fullest her breast shape and dynamic (Yes, breasts have dynamics, didn’t you know that?). But all of that will never be able to defend against the fact that I might end up using this video as a demonstration of how makeup can be used to effectively make a girl look a good decade older than her actual age. Clearly not a good thing.

A couple scenes after that one, it becomes clear exactly how much it’s not a good thing. We have her appear on the scene in a school girl outfit, with a plaid skirt, pig tails and no make-up at all. For me, anyway, that was a breath of intense relief. She simply looks more feminine, youthful and the natural breeze on this scene gives her a nice messy wind swept look. Bit of a frolic-some scene on a playground park plenty of attention given to her chest which heaves in a bra that gives a bit of push-up support (as if she needs it), otherwise nothing beyond average fare.

Other than another good scene with a basketball and jersey (I couldn’t decide which was rounder, the basket ball or her chest), that’s pretty much it. Apparently this was her first release, and it took a while for her to do more, but there are 2 more DVDs out from her, one by iGirl (SBVD-0090) and Take Shobo (TSDV-41289). I was quite pleased to have found them in my collection, they look just as appealing as this one. I’ll look forward to having a look at those in the future.

Unfamiliar to me, Mikuru Sakurai starts as fairly attractive, and as the DVD unrolls, her features become appealing with time. After about 10 minutes, I’d have declared her as premium Gravure material and was addicted to her cute and enthusiastic smiles. She has a little baby fat hanging around, but it’s only moderate and looks nothing less than fabulous on such impeccable skin. What a lucky girl. The directing is fabulous, and most of the approaches are reflected by the presentation on the cover. This is her first DVD for this studio, but fortunately another more recent DVD of hers is out there by a parallel studio with a DVD code SMTV-019.

The initial outdoor scene has perfect lighting with a  marvelously blue sky, everything soft and pleasant to the eyes. That includes various flowers incorporated into the picture, and a nice garden. Not that I’m watching this for the garden, just saying….. The picture from the front cover is from the first scene, a very appealing outfit indeed. Like I said earlier, everything is presented very softly & consciously and it is amazing how soft her shaven skin is around the string with beads on the novelty bottom she’s wearing. It gets a lot of time on the camera, put forth in a variety of ways, alternating with very pleasant views of her face. Pretty impressive how tastefully something so provocative like that can be when done exactly right. Very nice achievement. The top is very transparent, but not the main focus of the camera. The outdoor scene is only about 4 minutes (unfortunate), before the same outfit gets taken indoors, but the inside is nicely set, with very refined color management and lighting. We get the typically anticipated moment when she bends over for the camera, but it’s far from spectacular, and clearly not the intent of the scene. Interesting. She pokes, prods, and squishes the fabulously soft parts around the front beaded thong several times, later removing the top completely and covering nipples with a single finger. Some very nice angles. It’s very impressive how this scene portrays exactly what the DVD cover advertises, in terms of a lot of effort being put into poses, styling, and polished softness. Very pleasant to see.

The second scene is odd one, at the front of a classroom, there’s some discussion of who knows what, as she’s fully clothed in the school girl attire. Anyway, though plain (but still softly lit and presented), it isolates her facial features without the distraction of her very appealing body. She’s really very pretty over here. So, then the odd stuff proceeds to happen. Various items and objects are used to impress us with how small they need to be in order to cover her immaculately groomed vital parts after the plain cotton underwear is removed. A pen, a small book, some miraculously thin orange contraption, you name it. It really is impressive when you think about it.  She does the “uncertain, embarrassed” face nicely. I was little puzzled when the next object was cold cut…..yeah, i know….  You’re weird-ed out? Check out her face when it’s handed to her by “the hand”. Anyway, perhaps it was an attempted reference at “ham sandwich”, which is meant to be analogy for what the  more intimate parts of the female anatomy have a resemblance to. The first time I was made aware of that in a conversation with friends I has a good laugh. I guess they figured they can’t actually show her “ham” bits, so they might as well use a real one in the place and give censorship a little poke in the ass. It could be considered clever. Well, she then removes her top, and the scene comes shortly to an end. Weird, and containing gimmicks, it still was intriguing.

Next one was a good one. Outfit was a sure winner, in my books that’s close to as good as it gets. Basically a one piece, but just under the breasts it becomes a single string and nothing else. It has a bit of extra fabric over the critical pelvic area, so down in the deeper regions it’s not a complete string.  I personally would have liked it more if it was. So, bouncing on an exercise ball, excellent quality angles are presented as if from the floor of her with legs open and bouncing. Nicely balanced view of her groin with fabulously little material, and her (cute and clearly overjoyed) face in the background. The top part of the get-up is nice and see through. An example of a scene really emphasizing an exciting outfit, with a decent about of good quality body close-ups and views of smiles. Her hair arrangement, though contrived, is good, and lovely looks from her are also considered. More than halfway, the outfit is removed, and we move on. Again, nice lighting in this scene, very vivid and yet soft, her body\skin comes out miraculously smooth and deeply appealing.

So here are the first signs of decline. The next scene is quite good because of the constant close views of her legs open while the orange thong gives as little coverage as possible. Some bumps on the surface of the thong give away the shape of what’s underneath very clearly, this presumably pushing the outer boundaries of censorship laws. Her sitting with the pelvis pushed outwards to the camera has the string running further underneath in view constantly, and it’s pretty gratuitous. There’s a fair bit of vibrator over the clit happening, but her posture and what it exposes really makes the scene happen. There’s no variety posture or camera views, but who needs variety when you’ve got a view like that?

The next scene was still a good one, with the pink bikini that was very see through. It did not last too long before she removed the bottom and started wedging it in the front. Again, just more of what the cover promises and everybody wants to see. Some nice puckered lips and shame ridden expressions on her face come up. Couple minutes later we get the lubricant added by some very fortunate pair of hands as she lies down. So the whole erotic massage scene begins. Anyway, those hands go from pretty darn daring to ridiculously so. After they have their way with the chest, they move down south. Full contact labia manipulation was a sight to behold, but they just kept on going until that hands started to go for insertion and proceeded to finger her like there’s no tomorrow. Up to here has been quite good, for me anyway. What becomes pretty clear is that at this point the DVD completely changed genres, and became an aural sex based video. Next scene included full insertion of a dildo (her face expression when she sees it first was pretty funny, really “wow, what *is* that, and what should i do with it”). She devours it, and then sits on it, so on and so on.

So with about  20 minutes left in the DVD, I didn’t bother watching any of it. From what I saw, there followed  vibrators to breast and various other methods to achieve volcanic orgasms. At this point it occurred to me I’m probably missing something: I turned up the volume. The insanely high pitched yelping while being manipulated was, honestly, pretty entertaining. I can’t say it would attract me to a DVD, but I can certify it’s worth checking out. I can imagine it has a cult following in some circles. I do remember having a great fondness for Mikuru in the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and hearing her moans of complaint to me were very pleasant. I dunno, maybe this will grow on me. I’m actually glad I turned up the volume and experiences this moment of personal reflection.

Worth noting, the DVD closes after the credits with slow motion reprises of all the (fabulous, I might add) close up shots of her camel toe and the variety of strings that were wedged about and inside of it. It’s a solid 8 minutes of footage, and it’s particularly drool worthy when piled up each sequence after the other and slow motion. Their refined lighting and texture presentation which I’m so fond of really comes to be a strong asset in footage like this, and I’d have to praise them for the idea, it’s rather effective and original.

On the cover, in my books, Sauri Hazuki (who has done a couple other DVDs that I’d care to see, definitely) comes across as having a pretty, sweet and very fortunately proportioned face. That, however,  only comes across with mild frequency through the video. Looking closely at that picture, some of her more deeply Japanese features are evident. Occasionally those are over-pronounced and I find it a little challenging to call her very pretty. Sometimes, where the directing has decided to take extended and unflinching gazes at her face (and what extraordinary directing it is, more on that later), I’d almost say her features are so extreme to be slightly alien-like. However, years of addiction to Asian features and this wonderful Japanese Gravure industry has persuaded me to find remarkable appeal in those types of features. Acquired taste, to some degree. Not *always* pretty, but definitely unique and often attractive despite. The short hair is carried out very successfully through the video. A few enticing smiles here and there, and she’s quite gorgeous when sporting those, but more often than not, she’s decidedly neutral. That has an odd magnetism itself, and it’s such a relief not to have to put up with a model working up a sweat doing the “look how hot I am” scenario.

I don’t think I’ve ever come across such spectacular directing. Co-incidentally, if you look on the cover it clearly states “Directed by Sayuri Haduki”. Did the ever so typical Japanese lost-in-translation phenomenon occur here? Did they mean starring? I would describe the camera work as deliberate with a strong sense of vision. Some videos try to convey excitement by frantic changes of view, shaking cameras and the likes, which in some cases I think is more likely to trigger epilepsy rather than excitement. In they end, after all is done they just miss the point, if there even is one. A lot of what happens here just *feels* meaningful, and the intent is put across very successfully. So, if you’re into something that’s worth your time and beautiful, this is top recommendation. The setting never fails at being elegant and carefully selected, color composition vividly constructed and very sharp. The camera movement is often slow, frequently intensely so. The truly functional word I believe would be “deliberate”. Very careful and deliberate. There are many slow and sensitive detail shots, and many beautifully directed closeups of her face, and despite such unusual features, they come across with such intense character. Very unique and convincing. A lot of the poses are well planned, and are left there for the viewer to see, study, consider and even contemplate.

So what about the sex? I mean, that’s what we’re here for right? Oh, she’s sexy and profoundly desirable, all right. Rather thin, and long limbed, but sincerely attractive. There’s so much footage of her in spectacularly skimpy thongs, and I loved every moment of them. Her body is perfectly suited for that kind of exposure. A couple overt sexual things are part of the agenda, including a tickling scene and lotion rubbing on crotch thing, but it’s always controlled, and serves to provide some reasonable variety. But yes, this video has profound sexual appeal, stringy underwear inspected slowly and carefully from all angles, tiny strings and how physics crams that tiny string into her rear end abounds. Enough to make you slip and kill yourself over your drool.

At about 25 minutes into the video is where the miracle scene occurs. I mean, the setting and color architecture is enough to marvel at alone. A kind of shadowy black dominates the interior, and she’s wearing this gorgeous black see through top, that goes just past her hips. This emphasizes the legs, which are so appealing, shapely, yet long and thin. Tiny black thong completes the arrangement and gives the picture incredible unity. Nipples are quite visible the top. Everything moves very slowly giving a great deal of time to enjoy everything. The view is spectacular when her back is to us, very nice on the legs and overall proportions. Later, a green forest backdrop is added, the top is removed and her bodies shape is something to really marvel at since all there is a string around the waist and not much more.

Other scenes were a little more basic, very pleasing to watch and employed similar strategies as above, making for one incredible and totally unique video. I’d say the very first scene is the weakest of all. Later, there was a decently done tickling scene, I really liked how her taut mid-section and thighs were easily enjoyed from all angles as she rolled about in possibly the smallest thong of the DVD. Many open legged views, and variations of that, were fine indeed when such a nice body was the subject. Worth pointing out that as attractive she is on the cover, the actual cover scene was only pretty good, but far from the main attraction. I suppose it could be called false advertising to the disadvantage of the DVD, since they should really have addressed the main style/theme, breathtaking as it was. The poses on the DVD cover back are not nearly as sculpted and artistically considered as they are in the actual video. Tired of all the same old Gravure flicks, yet want something tastefully provocative, then I urge  you to start here.

Start of the first scene is not the best, a little too much clothes for a girl that is at an advantage when she reveals her considerable assets. She’s certainly pretty enough to manage under those conditions, very doll-like features. Not much variety in the serious & sultry look in this scene. The booty shorts fit snug, that’s for sure, but some of the angles allow her to appear a little chubby. Here and there on the dvd a little careless editing allows the  hips to be seen in unfavorable angles, and other imperfections are occasionally evident. Assets like hers do come at a price, but rest assured (*ass*ured….lol, sorry), the sum of it all is always mind-blowing. The pink top has got some apparent pokies happening, and they get a lot of camera time. The shorts are dropped, revealing one heck of a generous and gorgeous behind.

Next, outdoor, over-exposed sunlight hits us right off. Sometimes it’s nice, but other angles the brightness has an harsh and unappealing nature to it. Her brilliantly pink bikini complements and emphasizes some really breathtaking curves. Under-cleavage abounds as well as above too. Basically that chest swells like there’s no tomorrow. Often that black scarf gets in the way, and if it’s intended to be a color/shade balance for the rest of activity on the screen, it would have been better without it. Doesn’t fit. Her hair was a little over-exaggerated. Too busy and exploding. Feeling the urge to show off,  she does a few turns at the start of the scene to make it clear what all of her generous physique has to offer. Her behind looks incredibly fine and ample in that pink thong. We get many views of it throughout this scene, thank god. But as equally captivating as her body is, the treatment of face and expressions had enough appeal to match the spectacular body, and that says a hell of a lot. Very lively, enthusiastic & cute smiles are caught. Brilliantly vibrant features, she just shines here,  what a pleasure to behold. Some of the shots are carried out a little too close, and that’s the only weakness.

Back to the serious expressions in the following scene, which despite a little slow is loaded with promise. She idles about, with that pink top, looking here and there, but you don’t really mind waiting patiently since she’s wearing an incredibly skimpy and stringy thong beneath that shirt. It’s very low rise on the front, and also gives plenty of lateral exposure in the groin area, deeply provocative. While the shirt remains on, we get treated to many views and angles of her behind. After the shirt gets dropped my appreciation hit the red-line. The view of her standing from behind with strings over the waist and back were worth the price of admission alone. In addition to the constant eye candy she gives us in such incredible abundance, the lighting achieved in this scene deserves a lot of praise. Some of the effects can be easily described as a artistic success. Luminous & hazy, yet with such a spectacular model as the subject, this makes for a spectacular experience. The scene closes with a sitting on a chair, behind sticking out with no top. The curves are to die for.

That the directing has some deliberate color theme planning became clear on the next 2 scenes. Next one was a nice full cream color for the walls and novelty- thong, everything else was white including shirt she removes and the window curtains. Of course, it’s not hard to imagine what a dramatic accent her black Asian hair has on this arrangement. There’s also some shot planning on this one: Seems like her rear end and back was the objective here. And they’re both as shapely as you could possibly ask for. The poses are superbly coordinated, and it’s hard to imagine a woman with a better view from behind than Aya.f

Following that, we get another spectacularly skimpy bikini (probably the smallest on the DVD), this time leopard print. Again, the directing has identified this as a possible motivator for the scene and we get bombarded with views of her lower torso and the impressively small quantity of material covering the vital part. Again, the overall directing is done with conscious contrasts in mind. From the previous we get tossed into tumultuous dark red and purple colors (I suppose the leopard print on what marvelously little material her bikini is made of could be seen as additional dramatic purpose!). I found the way many of the colors appeared on the video a little grainy and raw. We’re treated to a few nicely done wide eyed doll-like “dominate me, master” looks from Aya, she does them as well as any Japanese Gravure girl is born to do.

The next scene is more playful smiles and very cute and excited facial expressions, those are presented marvelously. Even though I have the volume off when I watch these, sometimes the parts when they talk to the camera is a thrill to watch when certain expressions come with her speech. Her variation on a nurse outfit here is also deeply pleasing, allowing for nice costume orientation, but lots of skin being displayed.

Last scene was competitively not quite as good It did however feature a remarkable spider-back one piece novelty suit, with the main vertical string in the back riding up her behind deliciously. Expressions are more serious here, and though very nice, does not fare well compared to earlier. That said, it’s a pretty tame standing shower scene without any notable poses. That’s ok, the scenes that rolled by earlier were more excitement than I can handle in any given day. Fabulous DVD, do yourself a favor, go watch it now.

Going back to earlier catalog numbers of their studio works, and it’s another rewarding run, just like any other from Trico. Strong & confident directing as always. This one fares well, even in the face Trico’s intimidating standards.

First scene is a good one, Japanese girl on the sunny beach (actually, this one is by the pool, which is by the beach….), that’s what we all live for, I certainly know I do. This one is of excellent quality, with a reasonable degree of close-ups (some of them are really magnificent, actually) on the bright yellow bikini clad behind and chest.

Excellent curves on the bottoms, and the bikini top has a heavy burden to bear indeed. Nothing disproportionate, but certainly generous enough to really get an appetite going. Generally she’s a very pretty one, and the abundance of smiles prevents any negatives relating to her facial features to come out in this scene. Very good.

The white one-piece that follows has its moments, and while generally ok it has more reclining than I care for. Some of the barrel rolling gets tedious, rather easily. Her face is not one that can withstand close scrutiny in this scene, unfortunately. A little bottom heavy, and dull in proportion it’s also accompanied by eyes that I do not find particularly shapely.  A lot of these features are brought out by a plain and angular fringe, but also a few camera pans that I certainly would have edited out. The front cover picture makes an honest assessment of all her virtues and faults.

The following scene with the pony tails was nothing spectacular, but enjoyable. So far everything has been predictable, and certainly not in any detrimental way. Doesn’t take much to make an Asian girl fanatic like me happy. But what followed was nothing short of thrilling.

Mid-day sky with a natural and open green field in the back on a wooden patio, but very calm and peaceful. Some unflattering camera angles do reflect on her face a little at the start, but then it really gets interesting.

Some really spectacular detail shots occur of her white dress along with exceptional face close-ups. Lying down, we remove the dress, and get treated to some sideways reclining with includes gravity having it’s way with some unusually appealing chest shots. Standing back up we get to enjoy the faded color of the cloth bikini.

We then get a very gradual ascent of vertical length of her body in a detail, going up, little by little, my eyes savored every small inch of what the camera was feeding me. The bikini top sinks very low all the way around, nice panoramic view of the entire expansive chest (but not too big, which makes it so fabulous). The bottom is very small, string on the side and remarkably appealing. Some views of the rear as she stands makes it clear it’s a bit small from the back, yet flimsy and loose. Sometimes the wrong fit looks great in all the right ways. We get the front bend over shots which gives all you could ever want of hanging breast dynamics and what appears to be a truly beautiful face.

As oppose to earlier, it’s a face that I could easily stare at for hours.

Next we’re at the beach this time. Very nice with a lot of attention to the chest again, she comes across nice and cute on this one. The maid scene, complete with maid hat/bonnet,  happens without success, as does the last scene which is an attempt at making the night time pool genre work. It never really did for me, but at least this one had a chance. The style of the pool had some nice color patterns, which was well lit despite the time of day. The black lacy bikini had the merit of being a rather small in the back, and though there’s a couple excellent views to prove that, I sure could have gone for more of it. For a model that doesn’t wear highly exposed bottoms, this sure had a healthy amount of dig in the butt. Although, it seems they are aiming for a nice beautiful and gorgeous look to this scene, and it was carried out rather well, it’s no highlight for me.

As long as they do things carefully and prep her exactly the right way, this dvd is top of the line, very appealing, cute and even classy girl. There’s some unfortunate angles, that have to be tolerated, but overall the Trico studio stands behind all that with the typical variety, color and tasteful presentation and pulls it off nicely.

The link above is for a video preview of this DVD.

Anyway, this blog and all of its reviews will inevitably serve as a comprehensive document of my unsurpassed enthusiasm for asian girls and ocd catalogue of exactly how I like them. That, of course, promises amusement. So, this one makes for a valuable dvd, because in the grand survey of what’s hot and what’s not in my little personal universe, Suzu Minamoto here hits the nail right on the head. Like…. about eight hundred and seventy one times. After a couple scenes it occurred to me that she’s strikingly close to Yukari Nakai, who commands an amazing amount of power over my attention span. When it’s Yukari Nakai on the screen, I can barely concentrate. That, and a little of Isa Aoki.

Those last two do one thing that really hooks me: the patented and notorious “dumb face” expressions. I don’t know why but it always has highly uplifting effects on me. A few personal friends of mine, whom I have consulted on some of my preferences at various occasions, know equally little why it’s my proverbial cup of tea. Actually, they’re convinced there’s something wrong with me. Different strokes, for different folks. She also has an instance of particularly bad teeth on left side, but it never bothered me once. Just as with Isa, I find it oddly endearing. There’s no way I could possibly explain these preferences, so if you don’t mind I’ll just go ahead and indulge instead.

So, first impression is surprise for me since I didn’t have a working knowledge of what Suzu Minami is all about. Or this studio, for that matter. I’m pretty sure this the first of the Pin-up Girl Series DVD’s I have seen. Essentially, the cover of this dvd is very deceptive. Sure, front cover says she’s pretty as a button, but I was not expecting such a provocative dvd. The main selling point of the cover was one heck of a face. Well, we get that, and a great deal more.

Though comparatively tame, the first scene was pleasant enough, containing a generic schoolgirl outfit, later the skirt removed, reveals a nice white cotton thong, and a very straightforward presentation of a truly appealing behind. Relatively small, belonging to a thin frame (but not too thin, she has a perfect amount of body fat to make her truly delicious), and incredibly smooth. Remarkable.

Second scene was your skimpy green bikini on the beach scene. For me it was a blinding combination of irresistible face alternating with some good quality & extended pervert closeups. Many of those, involved a very thin string and bending over, the result being some generous and numerous semi-exposed starfish displays. This happens frequently in this scene and throughout the video, so if you’re anything like me, you’d like it. It’s a very deliberate and pronounced feature on this dvd, I might add. On other dvds of the same genre occasionally, if infrequently. A little bit of playful mock “jogging” ensues. The swinging and holding on a rope while splaying legs wide open at the camera was certainly distracting too. That rope hanging from a tree continues to prove to be quite an asset, since it allows very creative series of  open legged poses to be devised. Later she moves on to the waterside, removing the bikini completely, and manually covering the rest. As she has the second and third fingers cover the nipples and we are treated to some life changing facial shots.

The next scene brings into relief her noticeably tanned skin  and slightly dyed light brown hair. It’s a very nice complexion. It’s a little plain on the outfit, a clingy tight fitting navy jogging shorts and schoolgirl top, but the lack of interest there serves to isolate an incredibly pretty face. Standing by the window (topless, again making effective use of the 2nd and 3rd fingers) we get some nice daytime lighting and shade on an incredible face. The view from behind as she pulls down the shorts is very gratifying.

Next scene is again a vehicle for pretty face with nice outdoor lighting. She seems more playful here, and sporting a swoon worthy “dumb face”. It’s the title scene, white tank top. But it’s what’s down south of the upper body apparel that counts. Possibly one of the world’s best walking in a string thong (blue, this time) camera grabs occur a couple times. Yeah, it’s that good. Wandering to the swing in the back, the interest drops. A sudden director’s enthusiasm for an over-sized ice cube takes over, and she rubs it here and there. Then licks it. Then has some goopy white stuff poured on the over-sized ice cube. Then she licks that. I never ask why, I just watch, and if i can’t stand it, I always fast forward. Well, you can see her face while most of that occurs, so it’s good enough for me. That sequence lasted alot longer than it should have.

The fade in on the next screen gave an abrupt and overpowering sense of thrill. Would have caused a hear attack on a lesser man. Mischievous smile, fabulously small red bikini and chest out and open legs with pelvis out. The top is small tight and thin, allowing for some remarkable nipple topography throughout the entire scene. Incredibly appealing. It’s also in an indoor pool, so it’s wet. Moist and persuasive would be a very accurate summing up, in my opinion. We get some underwater camera views, but those are not done well (they’re almost never done well, elsewhere), but fortunately, shortly after she pops out of the water with the dumb face in company with what can only be described as an unfounded sense of irrational joy. I love it.

Next up, we find ourselves in a backyard, and initially the outfit seems less than appealing. It’s the one in the center on the back cover. Thing is, it’s got very little substance, so it clings like there’s no tomorrow. It’s also worn a tad low on the behind. The color combination is strangely appealing. Ever played Tetris back in the NES days? Remember the vivid colors of the blocks on certain levels, and some of them made a satisfying combination. Well, her top and bottom have that special special color flavor of green and purple-blue, it’s the first thing I though of. Uhhh…level 6, was it? It’s been so long….I think i played too many video games as a kid. Anyway, the apparel takes additionally appealing properties when wet, the bottom particularly transparent. I also like how the hair is prepared to appear very messy and wind swept in this scene. Various kinds of shenanigans occurs throughout this scene, involving a large exercise ball. At one point when she is running along, and the camera is in hot pursuit, it’s apparent the camera man simply couldn’t stand it any longer and went for it and bonked the camera right into her butt. I would have done the same. Anyway, all kidding aside, she has a spectacular fun loving demeanor in this scene, and in defense of the dumb face, it comes with an extremely devilish and charming smile. I dare anyone in any kind of honest mindset to attempt to withstand such an irresistible expression.

The last scene is a good one, though it’s a little more serious, and the modified white one piece is not very well designed (too much fabric hangs above her her rear when seen from behind). Slightly less focus on her face, which would be fine, if only the outfit was a little more revealing.

So there you have it, I was expecting good, and instead on November the 17th, 2010, my existence had just a tiny little bit more purpose to it. I boldly declare that I do indeed plan to keep this video on my iphone 3G for the rest of my life. Or at least until something else better comes along. Can’t wait till *that* happens.
