Best of JAV 2016

As the year wraps up and we celebrate our 6 month anniversary of this blog, I thought it would be a great opportunity to look back at the year 2016 in JAV.  This year has certainly had it mixes of highs and lows, from standout debuts to shocking retirements; from amazing films to failures with missed potential.  For this article, I decided to focus on the positive and take a look at the best of JAV in 2016. 

In full disclosure, this is not meant to be an objective list of what most JAV fans think.  Nor is it meant to capture the industry's opinion, since they already have their own awards, which, in my opinion, are probably rigged and therefore fake bullshit. Instead, think of this like a personal list, the way movie critics give their own top 10 films of the year.  That being said, while it is biased to my tastes, I did try to think about not just what I like, but what really had impact in bringing something great to the world of JAV.

In deciding what awards to give out, I selected six categories, explained below: Best Studio, Best Newcomer or Rookie, Best Veteran Performer, Best Film, and the Legacy Award for outstanding contributions to the JAV industry.

Best Studio

Oppai

This was a pretty easy choice for me.  Oppai aren't the only ones to put out great big tits films, but they are the best at it.  They have big names in big tits like Julia, Mizuno Asahi, Hitomi, and Aika just to name a few.  But why I chose them sepcifically for 2016 is that they have been by far the most consistent for me.  Their cheating-focused "Girlfriend's Busty Older Sister" series is my favorite in all of JAV.  That series alone would be enough to win them the title this year, including an excellent entry starring Anri Okita right before she retired.

While other studios I love have been inconsistent this year, Oppai continued to deliver in impressive fashion.  I can only hope they keep it up, and have an eye on attracting new talent when existing ones retire.  For example, I would love to see Shibuya Kaho perform more regularly for them.  For me Oppai films range from perfect, to excellent, to pretty great with only a very rare example of mediocrity.  This was very apparent in 2016 so for me they clearly win out.

Best Debut or Rookie

Yua Mikami

Another easy choice for me.  Debuting with a single film in late 2015, which was intended as a one-off, she returned in 2016 with a regular slate of films for Muteki, and now has started with S No. 1 STYLE.  It's rare to see a rookie make such a huge impact in sales and popularity so quickly.  Yua Mikami has taken the industry by storm with her innocent cute looks and killer body.

One reason that she stands out to me is because she is not the typical style of JAV girl I like, and yet I still became a big fan.  Her performances have been very consistent and her charisma is top-notch.  I'm excited to see her work in the many excellent series that S No.1 have.  Her move to a stronger label already makes her a contender for the best of 2017. 

Best Veteran

Mizuno Asahi

This one was much harder for me, because the veteran stars of the industry have put out some real quality this year.  But when I thought deeply on it, I knew that the most important factor was finding an actress who consistently delivered great performances.  Once I thought about it that way, there was one name that came up: Mizuno Asahi. 

Her work has been oustanding this year, with quality across many different labels and genres.  She is the ultimate seductress, and her sexual power just explodes on camera.  She knows how to be sexy in the purest sense of the word.  Whether through dialogue, expression, or simply her eyes, she is a true succubus.  Her dynamite body is her ultimate tool, and I've come to the conclusion that her ass may just be the most spectacular in JAV, it just begs for a pounding.  Mizuno Asahi knows how to get it done on camera, and she does it pretty much every time.  I'm always truly excited to see her next film. That's why she rises above the rest in 2016. 

Best Film

PPPD-439: Etch Busty That Secretly Nettle A Boyfriend From A Close Friend Of Slut Sister JULIA

This award was the hardest to decide.  It's actually easier to recognize greatness over a longer period of time, so when I selected the top actresses and studio, I had a full year to consider.  But to choose the best film, I am very narrowly focused.  Of all the great releases, it was very hard to choose the best.  I was able to come up with a personal shortlist and then take it from there.  While I have to recognize some standout films this year from Mikami Yua, some superb performances from Hitomi Tanaka, and really great entry from Mizuno Asahi which almost made best film for me, there was another that really stood out.

When selecting best film, there were a few criteria that I considered.  The most important was simply whether or not there were any bad or mediocre scenes in the movie.  In order to be the absolute best of an entire year, competing with thousands of films, it needed to be perfect.  Getting into the technical aspects, it needed to have lots of hot sex, great camerawork, and a stellar performance from the actress.  Additionally, it needed to have that "x-factor". something that really set it apart from the competition.  When considering these criteria, I selected this entry from Oppai.

It's only natural that the film of the year comes from the studio of the year, but in this case it did not come from the actress of the year.  It came from Julia.  But before I get into detail about why I chose it, I think I need to share with you two very close runners-up.  I want to highlight why I found both of them great, but also why I found this Julia film to be just a little bit greater.

Runner-Up: 

PPPD-481: Her Older Sister Tempts Me With Big Tits and Creampie OK Mizuno Asahi

In my recent review, I gave this one a perfect score.  It really is an amazing film and I won't say a lot more about it here, as my review really covers it fully.  However, the reason why I selected the Julia film instead of this one was the fact that the Julia film had an intensity that this one lacked.  In my film of the year, I think Julia gives one of her most passionate and aggressive performances ever.

PPPD-511: Super Tits Boobs Face Sitting Close Contact Pressure Hitomi

This is a very recent release, but most Hitomi and big tit lovers rank it very highly, perhaps among Hitomi's best work ever.  Certainly, she gives one of her top 5 performances of her career.  As you might guess from the cover, she uses her boobs in a fantastically aggressive way, smothering her male counterparts.  In many ways, it is a must-own film.  Alas, it suffers from an Achilles heel that has been the downfall of many otherwise perfect films: too many handjob scenes.  I don't mind a handjob scene here and there, but there's a definite lack of penetrative sex in this movie, just not enough to meet my requirements.  I'm totally happy to have blowjob or paizuri or handjob-only scenes in a movie, but there needs to be enough penetrative sex as well, and this one just didn't have quite the amount I like to see.  A great film nonetheless, which is why it's on my shortlist, but not film of the year.

Now that I've looked at two very excellent JAV films that came close but did not quite make the cut, let me tell you about my film of the year.  The theme is classic: the hotter busty older sister who steals her younger sister's boyfriend.  The very concept demands lots of seduction, aggression, and all around slutty behavior and it is a delight.

Why this film specifically excels above others is due to Julia's performance and the top-notch sex scenes.  When I consider top-tier JAV films, the most basic criterion is whether I enjoyed every sex scene.  In this case, I did, which is rare because usually you get at least one or two duds.  We get all the great classic positions as well as plenty of usage of Julia's mouth and tits.  She also performs what I consider to be her best ever rimjob scene, which in general is an act you don't really see her engage in very much.

Furthermore, what pushed this film over the line and into greatness was the intensity of Julia's performance.  Every scene has the fire of passion which will leave you utterly drained.  It really is a pure joy to see this kind of performance from her.  In these types of films, the seduction aspects are always great but the sex, while hot, can be too much on the submissive side.  That's not the case in this movie, as Julia both seduces and fucks like an absolute professional, which is why it ranks as the best film I've seen in 2016.

The JAV Legacy Award

Anri Okita

This is perhaps the most obvious selection.  With apologies to Ai Uehara fans, there's no question that the biggest retirement this year was Anri Okita.  That's why she earns the Legacy Award, for her impact on the industry.  Not only was her retirement the biggest in 2016, I'd say it was the biggest in the last few years.  I also need to honor her for an excellent run of films leading up to her retirement.  She literally and figuratively went out with a bang.

I'm ever hopeful Anri Okita will come back or even engage in some uncensored productions, but I'm very thankful for the superb body of work she gave us.  Always sexy, always alluring, and not afraid to get nasty but in an appealling way, she was one of the giants of the industry.  She always seemed to look like she really enjoyed her job, and that she wasn't acting.  It's unfortunate that she retired around the time ths blog started as I would've loved to review her new films.  Anri Okita leaves behind a wonderful and lasting legacy to the world of JAV.

Introduction

When you watch a lot of JAV, it's natural to develop favorites over time.  There's something enjoyable about following an actress and looking forward to her new titles every month.  But some of us get a little too attached, perhaps.  When a favorite JAV actress retires, it can trigger thoughts of sadness, despair even annoyance at having to find a replacement.  In that way, it's not unlike a favorite TV show.  You look forward to the reliability of new episodes, just like new JAV titles.

These recent months have been tough for me as a JAV fan personally.  The loss of Anri Okita was a huge one for me.  So was Matsuoka China, a personal fave and rising star who chose to retire after a hit-and-run accident.  Losing two of my top idols (especially one in such a tragic fashion) was hard to deal with coming in such a short time.  You might say that my JAV enthusiasm was killed.  But don't worry, this long diatribe has a point.  There was light at the end of the tunnel, in the form of Mizuno Asahi.

For this review, I decided to take a look at the first film of hers I ever saw, which got me completely hooked on her.  This one comes courtesy of the good folks at Oppai, in one of my favorite series in all of JAV, the title of which roughly translates to "My girlfriend's big sister tempted me with her big tits and creampie".

The Actress

Mizuno Asahi is a relatively well-known and popular actress who has developed a solid career.  I remember being somewhat aware of her, but never really checked her out for some reason.  What a huge mistake.  But when I noticed a few months ago that she had put out a film in one of my favorite series, I decided to check it out, because I love this series and she looked pretty hot on the cover.

Speaking of looks, Mizuno Asahi is a total knockout.  Facially I love her look. Her eyes, nose, and luscious lips.  I think she really looks a lot like a Japanese Agent Scully from the X-files.  Even her short-ish hairstyle is a bit similar.  I think fans of the show will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Controversially, some people recognize her overall hotness but feel that her chin is too square, even manly.  Those people are just wrong.  Her chin is adorable and really contributes to a cuteness factor with her lips and mouth.  Maybe it's a little bit of an underbite thing going on, but I'm totally into it.

Body-wise, nobody disputes her hotness.  Fantastic big tits, a small waist, and wide hips result in an incredible body ratio.  But by far her most incredible feature is her amazing and huge ass.  The shape is pretty flawless, and her small waist makes it look even better.  I may have to retract my statement about Hasumi Kurea having the best ass in JAV.  That award might go to Mizuno Asahi.  Either way, as an overall package, she's defintely hotter and more natural than Kurea-chan, as much as I like her too.

I also want to circle back to her tits, because they are superb as well.  Usually you see JAV idols with spectacular tits and a decent ass, or the other way around.  Rarely do you get a perfect ass with a near comparable set of tits.  While I wouldn't rate her tits on the flawless platinum level of a Julia or an Aimi Yoshikawa, they are nonetheless incredible.  I'm really into the big tits with short hair look these days, and she's a stunning example of it.

But what really drew me to her was her performances.  I think she is one of the very top actresses in this department.  She exudes a natural sexiness.  As Mr. Tan put it, "She's the type of gal who would pull you into the utility closet at work and start fucking you and make it seem like it was the most natural and normal thing in the world."  I don't think I could've said it better: she is just so naturally sexy.

Mizuno Asahi has such a natural charisma, like she is seducing the camera effortlessly.  You might say that she's not even acting, she just makes everything look like it's her normal life.  She's incredible at being dominant, whorish, or submissive.  On the sexual side of things, she's no prude and does some wonderfully hardcore and nasty things in her films.

I basically have no critiques.  She is the complete package.

Rating: 4.0

Performance

One thing that struck me early on about this performance is how seductive Mizuno Asahi is from the very beginning.  Even before we get to the sex, she is already making eyes at the male actor.  Her demeanor throughout the film is very sexualized in a way that fascinates me.  Generally in this series, the actresses seduce the man and revel in being naughty.  While there is certainly a naughtiness on display in this film, thanks to our actress's natural charm she almost comes across as if she was suggesting not only should the male character cheat with her, but it's the right thing to do.  She just oozes this sexiness in the entire picture.

Normally when I talk about performance, I spend a great deal of time discussing sex acts.  But I was really blown away with by the other elements of the performance here.  Mizuno Asahi is such an amazing seductress, and her interplay with the male actor as well as the camera had me believing that I was being seduced.  Her smile is also a real winner.

As far as the sex goes, she excels at everything.  From blowjobs, to titfucks, to all sorts of sex positions, she is a natural.  She will suck every drop out of you, and yet still leave you begging for more.  This is nothing short of a top performance from a top actress.

Rating: 4.0

Story/Theme/Setting

The premise of this series is quite simple, yet amazing: a man visits his girlfriend's home, and the girlfriend's older sister seduces him.  Sexual hijinks ensue, and sometimes they are really creative.  Whether it's an incognito blowjob behind a kitchen counter, some tittyfucking while hiding behind a shower curtain, or good old fashioned sex while not trying to wake the girlfriend, this series is very playful with the cheating theme.  Also, since the woman is the seducer and aggressor, this series will please fans of dominant and slutty performances.

Since the concept of the series is always the same, and it's always well done with tons of great sex, the quality of each entry really comes down to actress' performance.  But honestly, I haven't ever seen a bad entry in this series.  They are all great, it's just a matter of how great each one is.  But in terms of execution of theme and story, this one is perfect, just like the rest.

Rating: 4.0

Sexual Content

Another thing I love about this series is that it is story-driven, yet features tons of sex.  This installment is no different.  Since this is a seduction, with the male actor perhaps reluctant at first to cheat, we start off a little slow but quickly build up.  The beginning parts set the stage and introduce our characters.  We actually start with a short sex scene between the male character and his girlfriend, played by an unknown JAV actress.  This is brief, and serves only for story purposes as Mizuno Asahi spies on them and gets aroused.  When the male goes to get some post sex drinks from the kitchen, she uses the chance to push up her tits and reveal a little nipple as the seduction begins. Even clothed, Mizuno Asahi looked positively amazing with a low cut top, as she continues with a little footsie under the dinner table in the next scene.  They sneak away for a nice blowjob/titfuck sequence before having to quickly cover up before they get caught.

From there, night falls and the sex really kicks off in a long and fantastic sequence.  Normally I don't like a slow burn in JAV, but the previous buildup scenes serve to just make it even hotter when we finally get down to business.  After some nice tittyfucking and oral exchanges, we have some fantastic cowgirl sex which leads to even more fantastic doggy style sex, with our actress really working her ass.  There's some nice camerawork closeup of her tits bouncing as well.  The finish is a nice doggystyle creampie.

The next scene is a soapy delight with a sensual tittyfuck in the shower.  From there, we have a another, very sloppy and wet tittyfuck in the kitchen.  Personally, I'm a big fan of these types of scenes with busty actresses, though some may mind.  As long as I'm getting a good amount of penetrative sex as well, I don't mind a few titfucking scenes.

After that, we move to the final long sex sequence, which is the climax of the film as Mizuno Asahi provides all kinds of pleasure and get fucked in various positions.  Similar to the rest of the series, in this part the girlfriend walks in and is humiliated as the fucking does not stop, but continues toward another excellent creampie finish.  I also have to mention, despite not being fluent in Japanese, that the dialogue delivered in this part is sexy, taunting and erotic.

Overall, there's a great amount of sex and it's all excellent.  I really don't know how they managed to cram this level of sex and story in just 2 hours.

Rating: 4.0

Overall

There's really not much left to say.  This is an incredibly well-made movie, with a flawless performance from our lead actress.  This got me hooked on Mizuno Asahi, and I discovered that she consistently delivered this level of quality.  If you've never experienced her before, this is a great place to start.  For those of you who are already fans, you simply can't call yourself a proper Mizuno Asahi lover without this one in your library.  I really struggled on whether to give this a perfect rating or not, because I don't want to give that out too easily.  But I can't find a single flaw in this film.  For me, this is must own.

Overall Rating: 4.0 Legendary JAV Classic

Best Breasts 01 - Hasegawa Myu

ID: SAMA-023
Actress: Hasegawa Myu
Release Date: 2008-09-19
Label: S Kyuu Shirouto
Genres: Amateur
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

This review is actually going to hit a number of different points at once, which is why I’m looking forward to it. Japan produces thousands of adult videos each year and thus far, our blog has only touched upon the professional set pieces. We have not touched the pro/am scene or amateur videos, we haven’t looked at starlets that had brief runs and vanished after a half-dozen to a dozen videos, and it’s been a while since we looked at 00s JAV. So, here we are, with a film that touches all of these at once and I could not be more pleased.

Anyway, back when this film was created, agents haunted major intersections in Tokyo, scouting pretty girls for employment in the AV industry or one of the other sex-related jobs that make Japan into something of a sex addict’s joint. While nowadays, most girls apparently do it themselves, the agents linger on, ever looking for that one girl who can make or break their bank.

Let’s investigate an example of this older era with this film of Hasegawa Myu’s “solicitation.”

The Actress

As one scout said, “A baby face and big boobs are the keys for AV,” and Hasegawa Myu delivers. Her round face is cute, with surprisingly large and pouty lips that would tempt any man to go for a kiss. She has big eyes as well, but there’s little to distinguish her from the baby-faced Japanese cute girl-next-door. This is actually a point in her favor, since she seemed concentrated in that specific niche and it helped her sell that specific fantasy.

Even so, her body has some fine breasts, a lovely pair graced with charming pink nipples. Her bosom is completely natural and while it is not massive, it is still sufficient to give a paizuri. While Hasegawa Myu doesn’t have much in the buttocks department, she does, however, have rather thick thighs, for those who like them.

Rating 3.0

The Performance

How hard is it for a teenage girl to act the role of a teenage girl? I’m certain acting couches don’t face that question often, as their wards are usually severely over-aged before they’re cast as quirky knocked-up fifteen-year-olds, but it is one that JAV directors probably tackle. On the review side, how much credit do you give a young actress for acting like she’s nineteen? I’ll admit I had a bit of an advantage in evaluating Hasegawa Myu’s acting for the simple reason that I’ve been exposed to enough Japanese media to have a general understanding of how the stereotypical Japanese girl should act. Within those parameters, Hasegawa Myu delivers exactly what you expect, combining some shyness with good cheer. In other words, the show here is in how much there isn’t a show.

This extends to the somewhat awkward vibe to the usual inspection scenes you have in JAV. It feels exactly like a girl doing this for the first time and is unsure how she should react, so she laughs in a way to try to get past it.

Of course, once we get to the actual sexual content, the illusion falls apart, but more on that later.

Rating 3.0

Story/Theme/Setting

The film begins outside, with the agent looking at the girls. According to what I know, working as JAV scout is the same as any other street-based work: appeal to everyone in the target demographic, and if someone makes the slightest gesture that could be construed for interest, continue the pitch. The only point to deduce points here is that the actor is in street clothes instead of a well-worn suit, but we’ll roll with it. Hasegawa Myu is asked questions that inevitably confirm her interest in the job. There is more to the process, but it is skipped in favor of going straight to a (love?) hotel for filming.

Once at the hotel, an interview is conducted, along with a measurements test. After a thorough look, the sex begins, where again, the illusion falls apart. Part of this is due to the weird editing decisions, such as the pre-sex bath being dropped in between the two sex sections, but it’s also due to the actual sexual content.

Rating 3.0

Sexual Content

I’ve mentioned before that the sexual content negatively impacts the other review sections, so let’s get this out of the way: the sexual content is not bad. As a matter of fact, it’s quite excellent. The problem I was with the sexual content is that it thoroughly disrupts the fantasy presented in the performance and theme. I never met a sober woman who would let two complete strangers run a train on her or creampie her. That’s usually second or third date material.

Sexual activity is divided into two distinct sections, reflecting the participation of two actors instead of one actor/agent and his cameraman.

The first section begins with the cameraman blindfolded with one of those sleeping masks as Hasegawa Myu proceeds to use her breasts to playfully smother and slap the cameraman’s face. This cuts to a practical demonstration of Hasegawa Myu’s fellatio and paizuri skills, with a clear dildo used to evade censorship laws. Hasegawa Myu is quite good and I feel no compunction in praising her oral skills.

We finally get down to business as the agent who picked up Hasegawa Myu ferociously gropes her bikini-clad breasts. Yes, you read that correctly readers, and it’s one of those flow-breaking niggles that disrupts the fantasy. In any case, the groping leads to an intense petting session that results in the agent digging in, so to speak, with digital play on Hasegawa Myu that eventually transitions to fellatio. Once intercourse begins, it’s professional both in sound and execution. Hasegawa Myu is pounded in missionary position, then takes a break in reverse cowgirl for a bit before she is once again put into missionary. There’s another break, to doggy, and then the agent finishes in missionary, ejaculating all over her breasts. Hasegawa Myu is called upon to clean up with her mouth and the section ends with a look at her face.

Once the bath scene is over with, Hasegawa Myu’s bottoms are back on and we begin the new sex section with some weird toys. Alright, they look more like a pair of breast pumps for dual milking, but I still think it’s rather strange to use those for foreplay. After the toys are removed, the former cameraman fondles Hasegawa Myu’s breasts with force and fondness that even the densest observer cannot miss. After using an egg vibrator and his fingers to play with her vagina, the cameraman receives paizuri and fellatio. Once intercourse begins, missionary is followed by cowgirl, doggy, reverse cowgirl, and returns to missionary for the creampie. Admittedly, Hasegawa Myu she does protest against being creampied, but it’s not very convincing.

Rating 3.5

Overall

This delivers what it sets out to deliver, but it’s not what I would call extraordinary. Hasegawa Myu is indeed the baby face with big boobs, but there’s nothing about her that would distinguish her from a hundred others. She’s not overwhelming cute or astonishingly beautiful, her breasts are big but not excessively so, and her acting is on point. Her sexual skills are good, but they are not exceptional, even for 2008.

This is not a statement of condemnation. This is not a bad film, merely an average one. Anyone who wants to sample the fantasy of picking up a girl to turn her into a JAV idol is welcome to check this one out for that specific fantasy.

EBOD-259 Takigawa Sofia & Tia: Two Strong Woman Fighter FIGHTERS-THE SUPERBODY

Reviewer: Mr. White

Introduction

JAV team-up films often make me apprehensive, because many of them are just not that well done. I'm not really sure why, but in many cases it can be a weakness of JAV and an area that western porn does far better. That isn't to say there aren't excellent JAV team-ups, because there are plenty. But for some reason, many JAV filmmakers do not understand the basic concepts of how to make scenes with 2 girls erotic and fun. After the last team-up film I reviewed, which was pretty much a disaster, I was not looking forward to tackling another. But in honor of Halloween, I was obligated to check this one out. Like many of you, I was attracted to the cover because it featured some Chun Li and Cammy cosplay, but the porn version. It doesn't hurt that it stars Tia, one of my favorites, and Sofia Takigawa, who had a brief but impactful couple of years in JAV.

The Actresses

Tia
Tia is a plastic whore. When I say that, I mean it as a great compliment. She epitomizes the fake plastic look with her golden but not excessively tan skin, exotic colored hair, and obvious but not too fake looking plastic surgery elements. I'm onboard with her shapely yet not excessively massive plastic tits, her tight and amazing ass (one of the best in JAV) and her her superb hips-to-waist ratio. She is a performer that leans slightly toward the aggressive side, yet not too dominant. In general, she knows how to work her body and deliver great performances. She's not particularly emotionally charismatic, but she more than makes up for that with an understanding of how to use her body well. She has an athleticism that can be refreshing... it's almost hard to describe her because she certainly is not a passive, laying there and taking kind of star, but she isn't a dominatrix either. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I like her because she represents a unique niche in my collection. Likewise, her fake looks don't skew toward being an orange gyaru girl, but Tia-chan clearly isn't all natural either. So in that sense, she is very balanced as well, with the right level of fakery to make her seem exotic and unique as opposed to just looking cheap.

Rating: 3.8

Sofia Takigawa
Sofia Takigawa has a unique face, which is largely due to the fact that she is half-European. Debuting in 2012, she all but vanished at the end of 2014, which was a shame because in my book she was upper tier hot when it came to half-Japanese JAV idols. Her European blood certainly contributed itself into giving her a nice big ass and big tits too. Across her 2 years in the business she did a number of great films and also dabbled in some solid uncensored and anal work. She was definitely a bit dirtier and raunchier than Tia, but was in many ways a similar type of performer in terms of temperament. She worked her body well, used good sexual technique and played up her assets. She was also a bit more subdued in screen presence, like Tia, but compensated for that by delivering knockout sexual performances, which skewed just a bit toward the more hardcore than Tia-chan. Overall, while Tia might have an unfair plastic advantage, I think Sofia-chan comes in at just a tad lower than her on the rating scale. Nonetheless, since all of her stuff is older now, you can find much of it at very reasonable prices and she's worth checking out.

Rating: 3.7

The Performances

For team-up films, I'm not going to give the actresses individual performance ratings unless one of them had a substantially different performance than the other. In this case, both of them were about equal. Luckily for me, they were equally excellent. One thing I liked about this movie is that while it is technically a team-up movie, it opens with each of the actresses getting a long individual sex scene. I liked that this served to showcase their own talents before getting an opportunity to see how they worked together. In their "solo" scenes, both actresses showcase the best of their skills from what I've seen from them. The fucking is superb and the blowjobs are perhaps even better. But don't worry, the 3 hour running time of this movie ensures that a long chunk of it is devoted to some threesome action. Unlike the shit-tier terrible JAV team-ups I've complained about, this film does threesomes really well. There is plenty of interplay between the actresses and they both play off each other well. Idle hands are not to be found as both of them are always occupied, whether it's one getting fucked while the other gets eaten out, etc. All in all we get two excellent performances for the price of one.

Rating: 3.8

Story/Theme/Setting

The interesting thing in this film in particular is that the actresses cosplay as the same characters throughout the film. While there are costume changes, Tia is always Chun Li and Sofia Takigawa is always Cammy. I really liked this aspect because it allows them to have a little bit of a storyline, as well as us viewers getting to see a lot of cosplay for those characters. If you've ever had Chun Li or Cammy sexplay fantasies, this is the film for you. For the most part, the cosplay is done right as we get to see both the costumes as well as plenty of skin. The only time I missed seeing tits is in the final scene, where Tia's upper body remains fully clothed (but thankfully, Sofia-chan's does not). While that was disappointing, it is balanced out by good presentation of her tits in the rest of the film. In fact, other than that nitpick, the cosplay theme is executed perfectly. The girls get into their characters and the long form of the film allows for story development. The usage of the costumes during the actual sex is also on point. So, overall, just a slight deduction for lack of Tia-chan's tits in one scene.

Rating: 3.8
 

Sexual Content

In a word, the sex is satisfying. I think the decision to start things off with individual sex scenes was a brilliant one because you get the opportunity to focus on each actress first. It's like getting two flavors of ice cream, followed by mixing them up in a sundae. The individual scenes feature excellent sex and blowjobs. For Tia's scene, a lot of it is devoted to her being on top, which I think showcases her excellent hip moves. Sofia-chan's scene is slightly more aggressive and features some of the best blowjob work I've seen, coupled with a lot of great camera shots of her ass.

Next follows the first threesome scene, which has a lot of great interactivity between the actresses. There are joint blowjobs, simultaneous sex and cunnilingus, simultaneous fucking and ball licking... really the whole lot. Both of the actresses are always doing something, and it is wonderful. This is really a gold standard scene for JAV threesomes.

We then get another Sofia-chan solo scene, in which she disguises herself and gives an incredible blowjob/handjob/tifuck combo. It is an amazing scene with a great amount of technique from Sofia-chan, and it's a great bridge into our next scene, which features the particular costumes shown on the cover. It starts out with both of the girls having separate sex with different guys, which is a sadly common JAV trope and one I find rather wasteful, particularly in light of the great threesome scene earlier in the film. The gentlemen separately deliver facials to their respective girls, and we move on. This is probably the weakest scene in the movie, because it represents a missed opportunity. At least the fucking is pretty good though.

One thing I did like though is that we immediately head into the final scene. There is no cut, no transition, a new "opponent" appears for the girls and they immediately start attacking him. If you look closely, you can even see the cum still on Tia's face from her previous partner. This was an interesting editorial decision, to have a "marathon" sex scene, and I liked it. This next part features another actual threesome, and in general it's quite good, barring the fact that Tia's tits remain covered. It was also slightly disappointing because the threesome in the middle of the movie was hotter.

Despite the group scene being a bit of a letdown, and the final threesome not being quite as climactic as I'd hope, the sex in this movie is still overall amazing. The threesome in the middle of the film is one of the best I've ever scene, as is Sofia-chan's titfuck sequence that follows it. Both of their solo scenes in the beginning are also on point, particularly Sofia-chan's. I would rate those parts to be pretty much perfect, so the more disappointing parts of the movie don't drag the average down too much.

Rating: 3.8

Overall

Overall, this one has a couple of flaws but does so much well.  The cosplay aspect is near perfect, and there is plenty of interactivity between the actresses in their joint scenes.  The threesome scene in the middle of the movie, as I said, is near perfect as well.  There is so much greatness in this movie that if things would've ended there I'd say it was a short, but near-perfect film.  Unfortunately some of the later scenes drag it down a bit.  I'm never happy when the best scene in the movie is not at the end.  Still, this one is highly recommended to anyone that loves cosplay, or a good example of a threesome.  And if you've always wanted to see a hot girl in a Chun Li and/or Cammy outfit get fucked, run out and buy this now.

NATR-446 Naked Housekeeper Dispatch Office ~ Big Tits Division - Satou Haruki

ID: NATR-446
Actress: Satou Haruki
Release Date: 2015-03-13
Label: Nadeshiko
Genres: Maid
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

Ever since the bubble economy burst in Japan, irregular and part-time workers have become a common, if uncomfortable, fact. Many of those employment needs are met by staffing companies that dispatch workers to fulfill the needs of clients. Some of those companies provide zaibatsu inheritors with hordes of workers they have terminate at need, while more modest operations send out receptionists or maids.

Japan being Japan, there are obviously niches within those categories, and those were discovered long before Americans decided to monetize topless maids. This being JAV, let’s go one step further into the concept with the Naked Housekeeper Dispatch Office. Their Big Tits Division offers Haruki Satou, so it is fairly clear I’m going to say “yes, please!”

The Actress

As I’ve said before, Haruki Satou is easily overlooked. She’s pretty, but not distinctive. In a crowd, she often lingers towards the back. She’s a little distant, even shy, and lacks the flashiness of her more colorful colleagues.

Even so, her large and beautiful breasts are often kept snug under modest clothing. Her buttocks are nice and her body is attractive. I’m exceptionally fond of her girl-next-door persona and it’s a particularly good fit for this kind of film.

Rating 3.5

The Performance

The tricky part of evaluating this performance is deciding how well Haruki Satou convinces the audience she really is a housekeeper. For those who don’t do much of their own cleaning, she’s excellent. The opening includes a few seconds of “preview” of the rest of the movie, and Haruki Satou showcases the professionalism, housekeeping skills, and genial attitude she will display for the entirety of the film and in particular with her interactions with her male colleague.

Other than that, this is a section difficult to comment on because there’s only so much to say about someone cleaning naked. She ignores the camera and acts as naturally as any housekeeper going about her tasks. Her nudity makes this titillating because her breasts bounce, her buttocks quiver, and all the other actions we’d never see are on display. This isn’t to say there isn’t a bit of artifice here and there, but it is a JAV film.

On a final note, while her actual housekeeping skills are a bit mixed, Haruki Satou can really cook. I’d eat the meal she prepared.

Rating 3.5

Story/Theme/Setting

The film begins with the client requesting a housekeeper with big breasts, and when Haruki Satou arrives, she is wearing a trenchcoat… and nothing else. Before she can get to work, she is subjected to a thorough inspection of all of her assets, from her toenails to the nape of her neck (in Japan, the nape of the neck a sensual area in traditional Japanese beauty). Thoroughly satisfied, the client decides to take a test drive, though more on that anon.

About forty-five of the hundred-twenty minutes of this movie are Haruki Satou cleaning in the nude, which is about half as long as the topless maid rentals in the US, so full marks for accuracy. I’ll acknowledge this is distinctly fetishistic, but I do think the film would have been better served breaking up the cleaning into three quarter-hour sections instead of one half-hour and one quarter-hour.

My complaints aside, the film excels at delivering exactly what’s in the title. I’d even go so far as to say that it goes beyond the title. Who can complain about a pretty girl like Haruchin welcoming you back from work naked and on her knees?

Rating 3.5

Sexual Content

After a thorough hands-on inspection of every hole and other sensual beauty point, the audience avatar requests and receives fellatio. This first entrée in actual sex is where Haruki Satou demonstrates her oral skills. Neither the audience nor the actor is disappointed as our heroine uses her moth and fingers to bring about orgasm. She spits up the evidence and is praised for her talent.

The second sex scene begins with after the extended housekeeping scene, and activities begin with breakfast fellatio. Haruchin is playing with herself during this, but her employer interrupts the fellatio and slides back so he can finish his breakfast. Dissatisfied, Haruchin goes to the couch and sulks, masturbating directly in front of her breakfasting employer. Unable to focus on food, the audience avatar goes to join her, beginning the first foray into intercourse on the couch. Missionary, doggy, sitting reverse cowgirl, and missionary conclude with a creampie, much to Haruchin’s satisfaction.

The third sex scene begins with fellatio and transitions into a mini-soapland, complete with breasts being rubbed on the employer’s back and a thorough cleaning. As there are no orgasms here, this serves as preparation for the next and final sex scene, one that is full service. The actor begins by playing with Haruchin’s breasts and then receives fellatio while our heroine plays with herself. Basic fellatio flows into both kinds of paizuri. What I mean by this is that initially, Haruchin is kneeling, and then she is on her back as the actor rubs himself between her breasts. This is convenient, as it makes it easy to advance into intercourse. This begins in missionary position and goes through doggy, standing doggy, moves on to the sitting reverse cowgirl, and ends in missionary. The actor elects to finish on Haruchin’s face, annoyingly enough.

Rating 4.0

Overall

This was a surprisingly enjoyable film. While the extended housekeeping sequence was something of a distraction in my case, Haruki Satou does a great job of making the entire experience believable. The niche that enjoys the film’s fetish will give it a perfect score.

For the more average JAV viewer, this film is still good. Haurchin’s acting is quite natural and it is not difficult to see her in her assumed role. Her erotic skills are masterful and deliver a satisfying experience worth watching. I’d go so far as to say her relative plainness helps sell the entire movie, as she makes the entire premise credible.

PGD-709 Lovey-Dovey Creampie Cohabitation Life With Anri Okita

ID: PGD-709
Actress: Okita Anri
Release Date: 2014-08-07
Label: Glamorous
Genres: POV, Girlfriend
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

It’s been a bit of an exhausting time here at JAV2DWEST, with our team cut in half and the themes of the last few months requiring quite a lot of consideration to deliver the best to our readers. To my misfortune, this blog will remain a solo effort for longer than anticipated, so I aim to take it a bit easier in October.

What does that mean in practical terms? Readers will be seeing familiar faces, there should be a new post every week, and I won’t feel quite as harried. In addition, we’re open to viewer recommendations and requests. Ultimately, everyone wins.

Speaking of winning, let’s start with one of my favorites. Back for another showing, the glamorous Anri Okita!

The Actress

I previously monologued about Anri Okita whilst reviewing her debut, but the summary would likely read as “Much busty, very classy, such beauty. Wow.”

More descriptively, Anri-chan is gorgeous, with a heart-shaped face and voluptuous body guaranteed to make every woman in a crowd hate her out of envy. That’s unfortunate, since Anri-chan is elegant and gracious, the kind of woman who wins hearts by her behavior even as her eroticism inspires the lusts of men.

As trivia, Anri Okita is a hafu, with her non-Japanese side originating in England. Surprisingly for a JAV star, she speaks good English. In addition, her breasts are real.

Rating 4.0

The Performance

If her performance here is only 10% honesty and 90% artifice, Anri Okita is an excellent actress with top-tier girlfriend power. The film begins in the evening, with Anri-chan modestly entering a distinctly stereotypical bachelor abode. Confronted with the inevitable circumstances, she gets to cleaning and bringing order. The film then time skips to the next morning, where Anri-chan cheerfully begins to coax the sleeping gentleman who has no desire to get out of bed. This good cheer then leads to every man’s dream wake-up call, but more on that anon.

Interestingly, there’s a distinctly realistic part after the first sex scene, where Anri-chan feels the contents inside her shift, and hurries to the bathroom.

The rest of the movie has similar performances, such as the following scene, where the gent begins to grope her rear while Anri-chan is washing dishes. As any man who has been in a relationship will tell you, her mildly exasperated tone is exactly correct. While she is acting the girlfriend, Anri-chan is exceptionally sweet, playful, and even modest. There’s nothing overdone in her performance, it hits exactly all the right notes.

Rating 4.0

Story/Theme/Setting

First, there are only two creampies in this movie, so I feel a bit deceived. I know Anri-chan had nothing to do with the titles of her movies, but this is like being offered a double-decker cheeseburger and getting a single-patty hamburger.

That is not to say the lovey-dovey part is missed, since the viewer certainly feels like Anri-chan is showering you with attention, whether it’s in the bedroom, while washing dishes, after making breakfast, or even just out on the balcony watching the night. As is common in other girlfriend/wife films, this is shot in POV, which is used well to give the impression that the viewer is there. Early on in the movie, this is used to replicate the feeling of not wanting to get out of bed in the morning, and it is an excellent touch.

Otherwise, all of the prerequisites are met, with two scenes in the bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in the bathroom, and as a bonus one out on the balcony.

Rating 3.0

Sexual Content

The first and last scenes are excellent, but the three scenes in the middle disappoint, given the expectations set.

Anri-chan’s first lovey-dovey creampie scene begins with a man’s dream of wake-up fellatio. As she demonstrates her skill, the action slowly shifts toward a 69 where both participants enjoy themselves. Once they’ve warmed up, Anri-chan mounts her lover and begins intercourse in cowgirl position. In this scene, she mostly sticks with this position, with a couple shifts toward doggy and missionary before she concludes in cowgirl position. After the creampie, she performs the legendary clean-up fellatio. JAV is all about fantasy fulfillment and this scene praiseworthy for its accomplishment.

The second scene begins as Anri-chan washes dishes. As the gent moves from groping her bottom to fingering her, Anri-chan takes charge and gives fellatio, which moves to a paizuri that ends with all of it on her breasts. There is a second clean-up fellatio to finish the scene off. After the full course meal in the previous scene, this feels a bit unsatisfying.

The third scene is in the bathroom and begins with mutual touching. Anri-chan moves toward fellatio, some paizuri, resumes fellatio, and finishes the audience avatar with her hands. No clean-up fellatio this time, and it feels as unsatisfying as the previous scene.

The fourth scene is on the balcony, so it’s outside sex at night! Kind of. Unfortunately, there’s no penetration. After some initial groping by the gent, Anri-chan finds herself partially disrobed and moves to give fellatio. What follows is intracrural and intra-gluteal sex, which ends with a combo between-cheeks handjob. Anri-chan disposes of the evidence with a clean-up fellatio. Are we noticing a certain pattern, viewers?

At last, the finale. The audience avatar begins by thoroughly playing with Anri Okita’s breasts and bottom, moving on to digital play as he fingers her relentlessly. Anri-chan then begins with a handjob, proceeds to an aggressive fellatio, pauses briefly at a 69, then moves on to passionate intercourse. First is missionary, where Anri-chan squirms in pleasure as the actor keeps a firm grip on her arms to make sure she doesn’t end up bouncing away, so to speak. Cowgirl and reverse cowgirl soon follow, succeeded by one of the most natural transitions toward doggy style I’ve seen. The final creampie is delivered in missionary position, followed with a look at Anri-chan’s bliss, and the inevitable proof-of-creampie leg spread.

Rating 2.5

Overall

This film is something of a mixed bag. Anri Okita’s acting is excellent, as the domestic scenes successfully suspend disbelief and make the viewer feel that Anri-chan is involved in a lovey-dovey lifestyle in this cohabitation scenario. The first and final sex scenes are up to par with her usual erotic performances. Unfortunately, it’s the filler sex in the middle that makes for an unsatisfying experience. It’s a bit appalling to have to call anything related to Anri Okita filler sex, but that’s just the impression one gets with such unsatisfactory nibbles of her gourmet feast.

If you’re a fan of Anri Okita or girlfriend/wife style films, this is a fair addition to your collection. Otherwise, this is an average film from a superior actress. The potential was certainly there. Anri Okita’s acting is probably on par with Yua Mikami’s. By my lights, the director did not put much of an effort into delivering an excellent film, so Anri-chan got shortchanged as a result. Even if the average JAV actress can only aspire to Anri Okita's "average," that still leaves her fans a bit dissatisfied.

EBOD-206: E-BODY Exclusive Debut - Beautiful Girl Tia From The Southern Island

ID: EBOD-206
Actress: Tia
Release Date: 2012-06-13
Label: E-BODY
Genres: AV Debut
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

As a label, E-BODY builds its films around a gimmick, one that Mr. White adores beyond words. The trick? Large breasts, real or otherwise. It took them a while to hit on that winning formula, but once they did, they never stepped away from it. Interestingly, E-BODY has tended toward far fewer debuts than other labels, tending to hire established busty stars over trying to build followings for their own. Even so, they have debuted a number of successes over the years, along with girls whose careers foundered early. It’s almost as if an E-BODY debut is tantamount to starting out cursed.

Besides Julia, Honoka Orihara (under the name Mitsuki Akai),Marina Shiina, Sakura Kirishima, and most recently, Sara Saijou, NAOMI and Nene Sakura, have defied the curse to advance into reasonable careers. Is there another, one who followed in Julia’s footsteps to mega star status? Yes. That name is Tia and the subject of this review.

In contrast to many other stars, Tia is monogamous. In other words, she’s a contract star who is faithful to her label until her contract is near expiration, and then goes to whomever promises to treat her best. She began under E-BODY, went over to S1 No.1 Style, and has recently returned to E-BODY. Her debut should shed some insights into why these top dogs want to keep her all theirs.

The Actress

A native of Okinawa, the Japanese Hawaii, Tia is one of those stars who causes me conniptions. Unlike Mr. White, I find it nearly impossible to enjoy actresses who have surgically altered their bodies. Aside from the philosophical considerations, plastic surgery provokes the uncanny valley effect, so my enjoyment quickly withers as my subconscious points out how unnatural the sight before me is.

Like Hasumi Kurea, Tia’s breasts are completely fake. Unlike Butterface McBolton, Tia never needed it. High cheekbones, expressive brown eyes, and a particularly regal nose make the best of her heart-shaped face to produce distinctive beauty. Her slender frame used to have a perky pair of breasts to round off her frame, but now she has her iconic pair of implants. The only bright sides are that her nipples are a light pink and her posterior is rather nice.

On top of being a beauty, Tia-tan is incredibly cute. She begins the film in a hairband topped with a giant pink bow and a flower-decorated sundress, and the viewer can’t help but ask her not to go home with strangers.

For those intrepid hunters, there is existing footage of Tia’s original body during her amateur days, right before she went under the knife. Good luck finding it.

Rating 3.0

The Performance

As much as I hate those offenses to all that is good about bosoms, Tia is a talented performer. Her introduction in the film was a “casual encounter” outside a convenience store at night. She was sitting on a bench when the cameraman “spotted” her, stopped the van, and went out to chat with her. The good cheer and energy she applied to the scene was incredibly natural, and quickly tested in the unlikeliest of ways. Before the scene began, a random passerby had sat down on the other end of Tia’s bench, and once the cameraman began the show, the passerby was doing his best to edge out without being spotted. After the cameraman decided to up the awkwardness by talking to the hapless passerby, Tia quickly defused the situation with a few words and a great big smile.`

This upbeat attitude is present throughout the subsequent interview and the date scenes. Yes, date scenes, as this debut elects to be non-traditional in format and sends our heroine out on a pair of dates in Okinawa. The beach scene and forest hike allow Tia to us her charming, playful manner in a way that disarms at least one of her male colleagues and gets him to follow her pace. I consider that fairly impressive, considering how jaded a male JAV actor must get after dealing with so many women.

Tia also plays the wanton reasonably well, but it’s a bit overdone. It was as if she was trying to portray what she thought was slutty behavior, which was so stereotypical that it was a bit distracting after so much of her performance was so natural. Once she begins enjoying herself, however, that changes.

Rating 3.5

Story/Theme/Setting

Coming in a hair under 120 minutes, Tia’s debut is probably the shortest of the ones I’ve seen, on par with Julia’s. However, Tia spends twenty minutes warming up with an interview across three locations before she begins losing clothing.

There are several short glamour segments where Tia shows off her body, set to music a bit better than what appeared in HItomi’s debut, but what I find more interesting is that at the start of each scene, there is an interaction where the viewer learns more about Tia. It seems that for this debut, the director elected to spread out the “getting to know you” stage of your typical debut in a way similar to the real life phenomenon of summer love.

The novelty of this approach turns the entire film into getting to know Tia, as the buildup is made into something more natural and digestible. The viewer falls under her spell as Tia’s charm works its magic for close to two hours. For the cherry on top, the last minutes of the film are a shadowy glamour section.

Rating 4.0

Sexual Content

In her debut, sex with Tia-tan falls into the category of “girlfriend experience.” It’s an accurate description of how Tia blurs the boundaries between her job and herself. A good example of this is the way her charm creates a degree of emotional intimacy that pierces the defenses of at least one of her male colleagues.

Her first sex scene begins with one of her colleagues feeling her up and getting her engine going. After she’s warmed up, The scene progresses through fellatio, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, and missionary before culminating in a facial, but it’s worth noting Tia’s fellatio. She makes constant eye contact and her smooth movements are coupled to keen observation towards mutual pleasure. It’s rare to see that kind of consideration in JAV.

The next scene involves sex on the beach and it’s my favorite one. I know that in real life, it’s supposed to be messy and unsatisfactory, but damned if Tia doesn’t make it look fun. After playing in the waves, Tia receives cunnilingus, which she quickly reciprocates with that same thoughtful fellatio, although the male actor ends up splitting the fellatio into two sections as he uses Tia’s breasts for paizuri and Tia’s buttocks for gluteal sex. The second fellatio advances into standing doggy, which then moves down to another round of fellatio, then 69 oral sex, then it’s reverse cowgirl, sitting cowgirl, standard cowgirl, before concluding with standing doggy, where the male actor ejaculates on Tia’s buttocks. The intensity through so many shifts is constant and works incredibly well. As the conclusion, Tia chooses to toy with the fellow a bit and counterattacks, applying her fellatio skills to him after his orgasm, which clearly is too much for the actor, as he falls down and tries to get away.

The third scene involves the same actor as the previous scene and very clearly takes directly after the previous scene. Tia has quite clearly charmed the male actor at this point and initiates mutual groping that leads to fellatio, paizuri, gluteal sex, and finishes with a fellatio-induced facial.

For the finale, the distractions of sluttiness are dispensed with once Tia gets down to business. Fellatio, missionary, doggy, and more missionary are conducted with aggressive pursuit of pleasure and conclude with another facial and another post-ejaculation fellatio, though the male actor in this scene was better disciplined about it.

Rating 4.0

Overall

Tia’s twin set of lies make it nearly impossible for me to enjoy her work, but that isn’t to say that her performance is bad. Thought was put into this debut, creating an experience that mixes real-life summer love phenomenon, girlfriend experience, and JAV to produce a great film. There are precious few films that chose to be adventurous within the genre, and this one clearly exceeded expectations.

As for Tia herself, her contract star status all began here. The quality of her first film merged with Tia’s charm and talent to create the pathway to a good career, E-BODY debut curse be damned. It’s likely that her consideration for her colleague’s pleasure contributed to her rise, as the more real the pleasure, the easier it is for viewers to buy into the fantasy.
