Not sure if this one could be classified as bang-for-your-buck quality, I’d be a little irritated with the lack of quantity of good footage, not to mention a full runing fime of about an hour. It’s impossible to deny Nana is stunning, and I think some of the directing here is deeply pleasing from an aethetic point of view, some of the visions remind me a little of the Pure Japan scans from a good while ago. If you remember those photo sets, you’ll remember the enchanting quality those had, and this DVD has moments that are not unlike them. However, this production suffers from a lot of purposeless filler material. If it’s not that, then it’s the constant self inflicted masturbation that Nana is made to play. When there is any spectacular footage, you’ve got very little time to enjoy it, those moments are short indeed. I don’t watch too many Full Nude DVDs, so I can’t really tell if this is to be expected, but recently I did watch Maki Kokoro’s Nude DVD, SBVD-0091, (She does AV as well, apparently) and I certainly found it to be more typical in terms of content and quality. This one was unpredictable, frequently dull but not without very pleasant surprises.

If you look on the back cover, enough attention to detail will guide to how they came across the title “Black’s”…. of course, as you do that, you’ll unconsciously mentally push aside the fact that the grammar is out of this world. Why Black’s and not Black is probably something none of us will figure out. Anyway. Yes, the theme for this DVD is black outfits. And though a little repetitive from that point of view, this is a very fine DVD indeed. There’s a lack of camera work variety, how they portray her, and her expressions. The lack of outfit color generally is second concern to those if true variety is an important ingredient. She’s generally rather serious, the focus is on her face rather than her body but if you’re an admirer of her videos, then you will be happy.

Another thorough study in the current risque Idol video Japanese trends. It was certainly likable, and generally contains no surprises other that being a little oddly balanced by putting all the excitement in the first twenty five minutes. If you’re short on time and really want just the good stuff, keep it there. In my books Hina is pretty enough to turn up as close to average for this industries standards, although I’d say the directing neither attempts to make her facial profile appear spectacular (I’m sure it could be if they felt the need), nor does it really care. It’s all about her pleasingly sparse but sexually appealing figure and experimenting with how little fabric they can involve and get away with it. In other words, one walks away marveling at her stunning yet diminutive chest and appealing lower regions rather than her face.

One of the cornerstones of the Gravure industry stars in this nicely produced Idol flick. Though Sayaka certainly not the biggest presence in the Japanese modeling industry, there are bigger names, she has an large number of videos to her credit (somewhere around 15 strong), and I did feel like I was watching an idol of substantial importance, she has a magnetism entirely her own, I’d say. Take Shobo takes responsibility for this nice video, the most recent of Sayaka’s. She’s as attractive (not to mention unbelievably fit) as ever here, so I sure hope we continue seeing more from her. On the whole, this production seems very balanced, and up to high standards.

Perhaps this studio (Mare) should consider having a talk with their make-up\lighting director. It’s not that whoever was in charge of those departments completely screwed up every scene, but the introductory montage emphasizes the wrong scenes very heavily and it almost completely turned me off. That’s upsetting, that I might have stopped there and not had the pleasure of watching a very good DVD. Ayami is a nicely featured girl, very bubbly and has slightly tall structured facial features. This here front cover of this DVD is not telling lies, generally she comes out as gorgeous. But a few (relatively insignificant, thankfully, about 2 full length ones) scenes make her look like she’s aging poorly. In other words, the makeup/cosmetics and harsh lighting make her look old. It’s not every day you see contrast like that from one scene to another. It’s like a completely different girl. That completely aside, this is good quality Gravure. Of course, you can expect gratuitous emphasis on her rather miraculous body: Think swan like thin grace balanced with explosive proportions on the erogenous areas. Breathtaking breasts and explosive posterior. All that in one package, a little too good to be true?

My first encounter with this Omega studio proved to be remarkably dynamic. I’ve had the pleasure of salivating over several of their DVD covers, and Omega being a relatively new comer to the risque Gravure genre (I’ve forgotten the official term for this genre, somebody please enlighten me), it created a lot of anticipation. To cut to the chase, I was ready to declare it absolutely excellent until about halfway through the DVD, at which point I fast forwarded through the entire thing on account of the constant oral sex/masturbation which was the whole point of the last several scenes. Honestly, though, if you like that, then I envy you, because that would make this one great DVD. For me, I have only have singular interest to watch beautiful Asian girls, appreciate portrayal of their charm through atmosphere, lighting, costume design, facial expressions and the usual generic Gravure fare. Any overt\extreme sexual activities are, well, just that, so I prefer keeping those separate. I don’t see a purpose in extolling on the virtues of my sexual vs. aesthetic preferences, at least not at the front of the review, so I’ll leave it for later. So what about the DVD?

More fun in discovering new studios with this one. In fact, from what I can tell, www.eic-book.com indicates that this is the only DVD that Neverland studio has been put out. Well, I know it looks like all I do is sit here and praise everything that comes my way, but there are DVDs that I watch that I dislike, and some only last 5 minutes before I move on, never to be mentioned again. So before my credibility fades, I wanted to point out that I have discerning tastes, and a lot that comes my way is tossed aside as unacceptable. That said, this one is also top of the line. The really odd thing is that the cover for this one is astonishingly misleading. It looks like a exercise ball humping and insertion inclined type of video. The only reason I immediately whipped this on my iphone yesterday to watch today, was cause I was skimming to see exactly *how* perverted it would be. It turned out to be beautifully directed and intensely purposeful. When I glanced at a few scenes I eagerly awaited watching it today.

The Japanese Fall TV Drama Season was in full swing last month, and is now winding down at this time of the year. The Winter Season will soon begin. There are a number of shows currently being broadcast, or just recently concluded shows that featured some of Japan’s best actresses, former gravure idols, and women that are just beautiful. I’ll give you a few images from many of these shows with a small plot synopsis for each.
Face-Maker began on October 7th. It the story of Kirishima played by Masaru Nagai, , a skilled plastic surgeon. Before returning home to Japan, Kirishima was affiliated with the US Federal Witness Protection Program. Kirishima’s nickname is Face Maker. His practice helps those in need of an identity change as well as a need to look completely different. This doctor doesn’t work for cash. His payment for these surgeries is that he gets to keep someone’s previous face.
One such patient is the beautiful former gravure idol, Hiroko Sato, who has a featured double role in Episode Three. She first appears as one of the ‘before’ patients – Emiko Masubuchi.

If you’ve come here for my best recommendation for “Tits & Ass”, I’ll proudly present you with this one. Stunning DVD. But it ge’s better: She’s got a beautiful doll-like face, epitome of cute & pretty Japanese features, as the cover reveals. But, the good news is, that’s it’s even better in motion on a video. She shines when giving her best smiles. I’ve seen some Jupiter releases, but do not remember anything special about the, although this video brought to my attention they have a capacity to do some thoughtful and purposeful directing in light of color co-ordination throughout a scene and pose planning. Good to know. Looks like this one has it all, let’s take a look.

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.

Yui Minami (南結衣), Angel Kiss (TRID-042)
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.
