Introduction

The story of Rion’s career is somewhat of a mystery.  Debuting in the fall of 2013 for S No. 1 STYLE under the name of Utsunomiya Shion, she quickly rose to huge popularity due to her combination of a gorgeous face, huge natural tits, and an overall amazing body.  Her work was very much in demand both in Japan as well as to western consumers of JAV.  Given her success, it was a bit strange that she dropped out of the industry after her August 2014 film.  Not to fear though, because she quickly returned in October 2015 and has been going strong ever since.  It’s funny, because both her original run of films and the new run of films were with the same label.  Yet, she changed her name to Rion.  However, I give credit to S No. 1 because the name change was handled in a very tongue-in-cheek manner.  They did not treat us JAV consumers like complete idiots and pretend that she was a completely different person.

Rion is certainly not the first JAV idol to leave for a bit and then make a comeback.  What is a bit unusual is that stars who do this either take a break and then change labels (but usually keep their name), or they are long established superstars who officially retire and then make a comeback, sometimes intentionally in order to create demand in their absence and increase earning upon their return.  But Rion never officially retired in order to create such a demand.  Speculation is rife as to why she initially decided to “retire”, and likewise why she wanted to return.  However, I’ve heard that often times the ladies find it hard to adjust to civilian life and the lower earnings that come with regular jobs.  Since Rion’s initial career was probably not long enough for her to put away a ton of money, this comeback would make logical sense.  As to why she left in the first place, I’ve no idea.  Perhaps she knew how in demand she was and used that to walk away in order to negotiate a better contract with her label.  Ah well, I guess we’ll never know.  At any rate, continuing our theme this month, let’s look at this recent cosplay film from her second run with S No.1 STYLE.


The Actress

Getting away from her career history and focusing just on her performances, I’ve actually heard some interesting opinions from JAV fans.  A lot of people find her physical looks so incredible, and they really are.  But some have claimed that her performances are lazy and that her on screen presence is not that great – basically she has been accused by some of being the classic lazy JAV actress that gets by on her looks but puts in no effort.  To be honest with you, I haven’t really looked at her performances with a critical eye before.  When I first became aware of her during her initial run, I was mesmerized with her body, like many fans, and I probably overlooked any bad performances as a result.  However, while I’ve still collected a lot of her work from the Rion phase of her career, I must confess I haven’t gotten around to watching much of it as they’ve been sitting on my shelf.  So this review was a great opportunity to investigate the criticism I’ve heard. 

Examining her looks first of all, she has one of the most gorgeous faces in JAV, perhaps the most gorgeous, dominated by her luscious and thick lips.  Her tits are huge and amazing, although not as great as Julia (the best bust in JAV), or perhaps even other elite busty girls like Shibuya Kaho, Aimi Yoshikawa, or Matusoka China.  Still, Rion’s tits are great.  Her ass is big, and she’s overall on the thick and curvy side (in a good way), but her ass is not what I would call particularly shapely (like Mizuno Asahi, whose ass is both big AND shapely).  Looking back at a lot of her work, there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of ass-centric stuff, this film included.  I also confirmed, like some JAV fans have noticed, that Rion-chan has put on just a little bit of weight and is certainly bigger now than in her earlier films.  I think a lot of people just see gorgeous face and big tits and don’t look any further.  But there are a few JAV idols that have both of those things, and more.  For Rion-chan, I think she is certainly a very beautiful woman, but there are some flaws there.

Rating: 3.5


The Performance

I’m sorry to say it, but what I’ve heard is true, at least in this movie.  For most of the film, Rion just kind of lays there and moans.  Her charisma and screen energy is not very good.  To be fair, her blowjob and titfuck skills appear excellent and she does a fine job in those parts.  But her fucking is poor.  I feel like someone gave her bad career advice and said that when a dick is inside her, she should just lay there and take it.  She takes basically no initiative and is completely passive, but not in a good way.  Other JAV idols such as Tia can often be passive when it comes to controlling the action, but she’s really good at working her body and moving in a sexy way when she’s getting pounded.  Unlike Tia, Rion doesn’t make much effort in this movie.  I was honestly a little bored with her, and yearned to turn it off and watch a different JAV.  Balancing the pros and cons, I think this averages out to:

Rating: 2.5



Story/Theme/Setting

Not much story in this movie, just your basic cosplay theme featuring a few different outfits and scenarios.  Rion gets the tits out in pretty much every scene, so I’m thankful for that.  Overall, this movie does a good job of balancing costumes being on while still enjoying the nudity of the actress.  The variety of the costumes is good, including a Greek goddess, princess, and some more Japanese-inspired roles.  Rion isn’t given much time to really play at the characters she is dressed up as, but that’s fine.  Not every cosplay film needs to be character-driven; some of them are good just seeing a beautiful woman fucked in different outfits.  Given all of the elements here, I’d say the cosplay requirements are filled pretty nicely, deducting only for the fact that I would’ve liked to see a little better atmosphere/setup for each of the scenarios.

Rating: 3.8


Sexual Content

Of course, Rion-chan’s lackluster performance will affect the overall sex score, but as far as the actual sex acts used and the amount of sex, that’s more of the director’s responsibility.  The film begins with a good sex scene that makes use of some great camera angles to capture Rion’s tits hanging down.  She takes a pounding in a few different positions, and the male actor pleasures her at various points with his tongue or fingers.  A fine start, if you ask me.  The next couple of scenes are just okay, first a solo scene of Rion pleasuring herself, and then a scene of her fully clothed and giving a blowjob.  I could skip both these scenes, myself.  The next scene is quite good but disappointingly short.  Rion wears a princess costume and gives some great blowjob and titfuck service, before straddling the male actor while jerking him off.  We then move to a threesome with two guys in a jail cell, which is decent, with Rion taking a fine pounding. 

From that point, we move to one of those scenes in JAV I hate: the actress lays there while being pleasured by a man using various electric devices.  I’m sure this turns on some people, but I find it very boring.  It gets better after that, with an excellent POV blowjob/titfuck scene featuring Rion in pigtails and a schoolgirl outfit.  Finally, the ending scene features the costume on the cover, featuring some good blowjob work and some good, if brief, penetrative sex.  So, if I’m keeping track, that’s 3 pretty great scenes, 2 OK scenes, and 3 scenes that are not so great.  I think that averages out to:

Rating: 3.0


Overall

Taking everything in, we’ve got a pretty hot actress and great execution of the cosplay theme, hindered by a lackluster performance and sexual content that runs the gamut in terms of quality.  Rion certainly has to take the blame for her performance, but I think the filmmakers also shoulder some blame for the mediocrity for much of the sex scenes.  If you are a serious lover of Rion and also of cosplay, you will probably want this if for no other reason than she hasn’t really done cosplay before.  For everyone else, it’s hard to give my recommendation.  There are definitely much better cosplay films out there. 

Overall Rating: 2.8 C+
For Fans of the Actress Only
