Review: KMI-095 Me and Girlfriend and Race Queen


ID: KMI-095
Actress: Hasumi Kurea
Release Date: 2015-04-19
Label: Miru
Genres: Big Tits, Cosplay
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

Race queens are a distinctly Asian product, the modern Far East’s version of the classic pinup girl. They’re Asian women who, at from highest to lowest, are involved with the advertisement of products, particularly vehicles. They’re attractive, which makes whatever they’re hawking more appealing. As a bonus, they’re a bit like information help desks. They are common sights at car shows, circling the latest souped-up racer while wearing appropriately branded clothing and insipid smiles.

In terms of tools, race queens do not necessarily require good looks to accomplish their jobs so much as glamour. This is probably the reason why race queens are rarely truly beautiful. Instead, they’re more of a conventional man’s “hot,” just good looking enough to pass muster for those with cruder tastes. This film is a particularly good example of what goes wrong when the model chosen to play the race queen lacks both beauty and glamour.


The Actress

Unlike Mr. White, I do not think Hasumi Kurea is anywhere near a 3-point-bloody-8, let alone bloody well perfect. Let’s take it from the top.

First, her face. It’s a long face, the kind that isn’t softened by the gentle curves oval faces possess that are more attractive. Her nose is weird. It’s not helped by the fact she probably has cheek implants – it’s incredibly rare for a long face to possess such prominent cheeks naturally. The large folds under her eyes are also a giveaway. Let’s also note that even without the obvious plasticity, her features aren’t attractive in the first place.

Moving downward, we come to those unnatural insults to proper order in this world. Fake breasts are grossly offensive. Real breasts should not look like they were bolted on like a cheap aftermarket add-on to a nice car. Real breasts should not look like they are flesh balloons layered as a thin skin over cannonballs. At least the falsehoods are blatantly obvious.

The only positive aspect I can find in this Western-style actress in a JAV world would be her buttocks. I’m not as expert in spotting fakes below are the waist as I am for breast and faces, but after studying her rear, her waist, her thighs, and their proportions in relation to each other, I’m almost certain it’s genuine. It’s a shapely and large pair of buttocks, her primary “selling point,” and, please forgive the pun, her only asset.

Rating 2.0


The Performance

"Overdone” is probably the operative word for her performance. I might also use “bored,” but again, I’m giving the benefit of the doubt and guessing that her facial surgery distorts her natural expression enough that you could mistake her arousal for “she’s bored out of her mind.” Or high.

Her acting is lackluster, a disappointment given the high ratings for this movie online. It feels routine and contributes to the impression that she is phoning it in. It’s true that she’s loud, but loud in a stereotypical JAV way. No, I am in error describing it thus. Her squeals, even while performing a paizuri using those rocks she calls breasts, are just so… Western. It feels more like she’s making noise for the sake of making noise, similarly to how Western actresses often talk dirty simply to fill the time between the routine layout of a Western porn scene. Her attempts to play to the audience are… inadequate.

The only noise she makes which is well done and actually feels like she’s enjoying herself is her fellatio, but more on that below.

Rating 2.0 


Story/Theme/Setting

Unlike JUX-600, I originally acquired this film due to the premise, not the cover. As Mr. White has noted in his reviews, the virtual girlfriend/wife genre is fantastic. I was highly curious to see how the director managed to combine race queens with girlfriends. The title itself suggested there would be some interesting tension, as it divides the relationship into the man, the girlfriend, and the girlfriend’s race queen persona. I assumed there would likely be extra measures to reassure the boyfriend that the girlfriend would be completely faithful. I gave them far too much bloody credit.

First, let’s start the problem I referenced in the introduction. Hasumi Kurea lacks any kind of glamour whatsoever. She is simply not believable as a race queen. When I think of glamour, I think of Anri Okita or Yui Hatano or especially Maria Ozawa. Maria Ozawa certainly got lazy at points, but there was never a point where you missed how alluring she was. Hasumia Kurea just looks bored/high out of her mind. Again, maybe it’s the plastic surgery.

In the third scene of the movie, Hasumi Kurea is dressed in the race queen uniform. She stands atop a pair of boxes and gyrates her hips and moves her butt in a manner appropriate for an exotic dancer. There is no music. If this was supposed to sell the viewer on her race queen status, the lack of even a cheap bass line to stimulate the heart rate shot its chance of success in the back of head.

Then there’s the second part, the girlfriend. This isn’t your significant other. No part of the scenario is delivered. This is some bimbo in a leotard who is strutting around for you to admire her shapely buttocks. Even then, you see more breasts and butts at a strip club than in this JAV movie.

Rating 1.0


Sexual Content

For most of the movie, her breasts are covered. Sound familiar? While a small mercy for a purist like me, this will be a doubtlessly massive turn-off for less discerning consumers of JAV movies. In addition, she’s never actually naked. There is a kink where the panties (and in two cases, the leotards) are pulled to the side, and that is how the sex scenes are done. It would be hot once, but the repetition renders it pointless. This is not off to a good start, is it?

There are two extended sex scenes in this two hour movie. There’s an intermission of sorts in the middle, where Hasumi Kurea walks on a treadmill, has a vibrator placed inside her while her leotard is moved over the vibrator to keep it in place. It’s actually mildly interesting to watch, which is good, since the rest of the intermission is the same old “grope ass, shove fingers in, molest with sex toy, penetrate with phallic object” I had already seen for the previous hour. The rub is that the intermission lacked any intercourse.

The only standout would be the two times she delivers fellatio. When the viewer is not obliged to wonder how the actress got her hands on so many hard drugs in Japan, the observation that she is eager to have foreign objects in her mouth. It’s about the only time in the movie she does not appear to be bored. My theory is that having her mouth full changes the shape of her face enough that the distortion from the plastic surgery is reduced.

Rating 2.5


Overall

I know Mr. White will protest quite loudly, but I remind him I chose one of her highly-rated films for this review. It’s a lackluster movie in ways that could have been avoided. Even if Hasumi Kurea is about as glamorous as a balloon filled with rocks, this could have been compensated with the “girlfriend” part, but was not. The sex could have been better, but was not. There’s only so much a perfect ass can do, and bluntly, it was nowhere near capable of making up for the hours lost rewatching this and reviewing it.

Review: WANZ-342 Big Ass Maniacs Hasumi Kurea




ID: WANZ-342
Actress: Hasumi Kurea
Release Date: 2015-05-01
Label: Wanz Factory
Genres: Butt
Reviewer: Mr. White

Introduction

Hasumi Kurea is an interesting performer.  She has a bit of a following among western JAV fans, largely due to her roles typically being more dominant and active like western starlets, as opposed to some of the more passive traits in demand among many Japanese fans.  She also has quite the body on her, and knows just how to use it.  This film, as the title suggests, is very ass-centric, albeit it does not contain anal.  However, it can be a refreshing departure to a degree to have an ass film where anal is not in the cards.  Released in the middle of 2015, this is considered by many of her fans to be one of her signature performances.




The Actress

As I said, Hasumi Kurea is interesting, not just by way of her performances, but for her look.  She has a bit of a "fake/plastic" look going on, yet it's more restrained than a gyaru girl for example.  She has a nice set of big fake boobs, but they are proportionate to her body and don't have an excessively artificial look about them.  The best way I could describe them is that they have that nice symmetrical roundness that comes with plastic without a lot of the drawbacks that can come from a poor surgical job or a poorly chosen shape or size.  When coupled with her natural curves, they work well.  She also has a facial shape that I can't really describe well, but I find appealing.  But most of all, she has what many consider to be the current best ass in all of JAV.  That's a pretty strong statement, but I've heard it from many corridors and I certainly think she very well could be.  The most similar actress to her would probably be Tia, who shares a similar facial structure, fake boobs, and great ass as well, though I think Tia might've had a bit more done in the plastic department.  Comparing them head to head might make for an interesting future article.  I consider myself more of a Tia fan, but I've been getting into Kurea-chan a little bit more these days.  Rating her is a bit of a challenge.  I think you have to start at a minimum of 2.5 out 4.0 just for the ass alone, and then work your way up from there.  She's got a little bit of an overbite, but not in a fucked up snaggletooth way, in a cute sort of way, though that might be a turn off for some.  In my heart I want to give her an overall perfect rating, but objectively there's just something missing that comes up a bit short.

Rating: 3.8






The Performance

Now this rating is much easier.  She easily knocks out of the park with a dominating and aggressive performance.  She shoves her ass into the male actor's faces with force.  She also face sits and receives a healthy licking.  There's also a fair amount of ass-focused cowgirl action.  Yet as you might expect in an ass film, there is a ton of doggy style, where it's her turn to get dominated, though she does not just lay there and take it, she really knows how to work that ass and play up her best feature.  The Ass Maniacs series has been going for some time now, but it felt as if it was tailor-made for her.

Rating: 4.0



Story/Theme/Setting

This ass-centric film really doesn't have much in the way of story, it makes use of its running time to focus on the ass of the performer.  For those looking for story, that will be a disappointment, but if you pick this up based on the title and the cover, what you see is exactly what you get.  There is no shortage of quality ass action, so this film delivers exactly what it's supposed to.  I'm going to give it just shy of a perfect rating though, because I feel they could've done just a little something to go the extra mile.

Rating: 3.8


Sexual Content

In terms of quantity, this is almost 3 hours of pretty much nonstop sexual content, so you are literally getting a lot of bang for your buck.  While ass-focused, I did appreciate that there was still room for some blowjob action.  Particularly early in the video, the filmmakers score points with me when they have Kurea-chan giving an eager blowjob while squatting in high heels.  The reason why this is so awesome is because they devote a lot of camera time to the view from behind, so you get to her ass moving up and down as her whole body bobs along to the blowjob she is giving.  Really nothing short a of a well-conceived and staged scene.  Naturally there is all the ass you could ever dream of, with lots of great doggystyle variants, including her pounding backward along to her partner, having her head buried in the bed, and using her hands to spread her ass open.  Really, this is an ass-lover's dream.  I also liked the usage of some short solo interludes between the sex scenes, where you can just admire her form.  Finally, I don't know if it's just my personal taste or what, but out of the approximately 2 hour and 51 minute running time, I found the first sexual sequence (at about 45 minutes) and the final sequence (also at about 45 minutes) to be the best parts of the film, with the ending narrowly being the best.  I have to knock off just a little bit of points though.  For some reason, the filmmakers decided it would be a good idea for Kurea-chan to cover up those great tits of hers with clothing for a good portion of the film.  I would understand that if it was a cosplay or lingerie film, but just because this is an ass film doesn't mean I don't want to see her completely nude, or even have some tit grabbing to go with the doggystyle scenes.  Luckily the end sequence and the beginning sequence offer some good looks at her tits.

Rating: 3.8


Overall

Overall, this is an excellent execution of the ass-focused concept.  It belongs in every ass fan's collection, as well as for fans of Hasumi Kurea, this truly is one her definitive performances.  For those of you new to her, I also think it's a great introduction as long as you aren't put off by the limitations of the film being so ass-focused.  It's not quite a legendary example of JAV perfection, but in my book it's pretty much a must own for just about any JAV fan, because we all could use a great ass in our collection.  All in all, a very very high B+.
