DV-1677: Ultra Breast J Cup Shibuya Kaho Shaved Debut


ID: DV-1677
Actress: Kaho Shibuya
Release Date: 2014-11-14
Label: Alice Japan
Genres: Big Tits, Debut
Reviewer: Mr. White

Introduction

In keeping with our look at debut works this month, I thought I'd turn my attention to Shibuya Kaho, who has risen in just under two years to become a major star in the JAV industry.  Her career path has been a bit non-traditional, leading some suggest that is the very reason for her success.  She initially debuted with a good, if unspectacular, run of films under Alice Japan, before jumping ship over to Idea Pocket.  Mr. Tan previously reviewed her first film under the Idea Pocket label, which was supposed to be the first of many but turned out to be the first of just three, as she broke her contract and has since gone freelance, with a commensurate explosion in the number of films as well as in popularity.

From the fan's perspective, contract girls can have pros and cons.  Depending on the company, they may play it safe, offering reliable, if uninteresting releases.  On the plus side, you will get to see the star go through the various themed series that label has, which can be good fun.  Freelancers (at least the major and popular ones) on the other hand can be all over the place, offering variety while at the same time offering a mixture in quality.  I tend to think of freelancers like a salad bar, where I'm getting many choices but not all genres will personally appeal to me.  Contract girls on the other hand are perhaps more like a steak, I'm going to be satisfied, but I'm going to get exactly what I expect pretty much every time.  Overall, I think a good JAV fan will find himself having a mix of contract girls and freelancers in the collection, with all they offer.

Getting back to the topic at hand, Shibuya Kaho is known for her very raunchy, slutty, and whorish style of acting as opposed to the restrained or demure qualities shown by other actresses.  Perhaps the best comparison in style (as well as body type to some degree) would be Ruri Saijo.  So I was interested to go back to the very beginning of her career and discover if she started with this style from the outset, or was perhaps more restricted.


The Actress

Personally, I don't find Shibuya Kaho's face to be ridiculously beautiful.  Of course she's attractive, but perhaps for me she tends to be on the "cute-hot" side as opposed to the beautiful, glamorous, or even just raw sexual smoking hot side.  Her face is very pleasing but somehow it personally doesn't suit my tastes in terms of ultimate attractiveness.  I guess I could compare her to Hitomi in that regard, pretty but not gorgeous face, but when combined with the body and performance, a real winner.

Moving on to her body, all I can say is "damn".  She's got a great set of big natural tits, definitely in the elite tier of big naturals in JAV.  She has some nice curves and is thick in the right areas, including a deliciously plump ass.  I wouldn't call it a perfect body, because I suppose she could stand to be a little tighter in the midsection to give her a better "S-line", but I can't complain.  There are plenty of JAV idols that have that body type, so having one that is a bit thicker in a good way like Shibuya Kaho makes for good variety.

What really helps her out are her performances.  You will find very few, if any, JAV idols capable of oozing out the raw, raunchy, slutty charisma that Shibuya Kaho has.  If I'm rating her solely on her physical attributes, she comes up a bit short of perfect, but if I'm reviewing the total actress, including her face, body, and abilities, I have no choice but to give a perfect score.

Rating 4.0


The Performance

Given my experience with the great performances I've seen from Shibuya Kaho, my standards for what I expected here were pretty high.  I was willing to be a little lenient given that it is a debut, but still I was expecting a lot.  What I found particularly interesting here were some of the subtle hints that would foretell how amazingly slutty an actress she would become.  For debuts, actresses tend to be a bit more restrained and shy, and while our lovely lady does not go full-on raunchy like in her later films, there are clues to the greatness she was going to reach.  For example, during one scene while the male actor is sucking on one of her tits, Kaho-chan proceeds to shove her other tit into her mouth and suck on it at the same time.  I honestly can't recall ever seeing something like that in a debut film.  There aren't too many moments like that, but when there are, they are pretty great.

This leads to me to speculate on her career path.  Was she more subdued in this film simply because it was her first time?  Or, was she ready to go all out but her sexuality was restricted by the filmmakers?  It's hard to say.  But definitely, if you compare her early Alice Japan era to basically everything she did after that, there is big change in the sexual intensity of her performances.  Did she just gain confidence and develop her style, or did she have it from the beginning but needed to change labels to have the freedom she needed?  I would guess the latter, but that's just a gut instinct.

Getting back to the film at hand, there is a large degree of passiveness, which is typical for a debut.  But even when just laying back and getting pounded, Kaho-chan delivers convincing performances.  Her charisma shines throughout the film and her various sexual skills are top notch.  Overall, I would say this is a fairly excellent performance, considering it's a debut.  However, it still pales in comparison to her later performances, which is typical of debuts as well.

Rating 3.5


Story/Theme/Setting

When it comes to debuts, for this category I am grading them based on how good of an example of the debut genre we get.  The film opens with an interview and striptease sequence, which for me is always a nice way to examine the physical attributes of the actress before we get down to business.  I also appreciate that once we move to the first sex scene, our actress loses all of her clothes.  Overall, there is a good variety of sex acts on display and an excellent amount of sexual content in the two hour film.  As a result, I think I'm getting everything I want as far as a debut goes.  This works pretty well as a showcase and introduction to Shibuya Kaho.

Rating 4.0


Sexual Content

The amount of sexual content is fantastic.  Other than the introductory striptease and interview, this film is pretty much all sex.  Again, we don't get see Kaho-chan at her very sluttiest, nor do we get to see some of the more extreme sex acts, but we are still presented with a nice variety.  The first sex scene actually has no penetration, but surprisingly I loved it.  There is a great amount of breast worship with fonding and sucking, including some fantastic close-up camera angles.  We also get a fair amount of pussylicking and get some more great camera shots of the actress.  This is as close as we viewers might come to exploring all of her body with some foreplay, and it's done really well.

The next scene introduces us to her blowjob skills, and we get to see her fucked as well.  I really appreciated that the male actor spend a lot of time fondling and squeezing her breasts during this sequence, and we also get a few nice closeup shots of them again.  There's a good variety of sex positions as well, followed by a finish all over her magnificent tits.

From there, we move into a nice blowjob/tittyfuck sequence, a good deal of which is shot in POV, and again, it's excellent.  The final full sex scene features a great variety of positions and ends with an excellent facial.  In a curious choice, that doesn't end the movie, as we are treated to a short closing segment of the actress pleasuring herself both digitally and with a sex toy.  Normally, I would find this boring and/or anti-climactic.  But Kaho-chan's acting is so good that I actually enjoyed watching her.  The POV angle and her talking to the camera were also great as well.  So I suppose, rather than being the film's climax, this scene is more of a bookend to the larger film, and serves as a preview to the raw sexuality just waiting to be unleashed by this actress.

Overall, the sex is plentiful and great.  I wouldn't say it was amazing, or the hottest thing ever, but it was very, very good.

Rating 3.7


Overall

I really expected this film to be too plain and underwhelming compared to what I'm used to from Shibuya Kaho, and certainly, compared to her current work, this movie is not as good.  But I'm surprised to say that I still really enjoyed it.  I have to consider this to be an excellent debut.  The filmmakers avoided any of the common mistakes that are found in bad debuts, and the actress gives a great performance.  As a result, this one is a must own for Shibuya Kaho fans, and highly recommended for all other fans of JAV, especially big tit lovers.

Review: IPZ-606 FIRST IDEA POCKET Kaho Shibuya


ID: IPZ-606
Actress: Kaho Shibuya
Release Date: 2015-08-01
Label: Tissue
Genres: Big Tits, Slut
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

The contrast between whores and sluts is interesting. Whores, and by extension their well-publicized kin porn actresses, are part of a simple economic equation: in exchange for money, they will have sex, either with your or a designated surrogate. This service exists, amongst other reasons, because the demand for the commodity they offer is far outstripped by supply. In addition, the unwritten contract between consumer and provider includes certain securities for the length of the transaction, such as nearly absolute discretion and being able to leave without commitment. Even when they chose to get out of the business, most are quite forthright about their pasts and enable prospective romantic partners to make informed decisions.

Unlike a whore, a slut is a woman who does not provide this commodity in exchange for something of equal transactional value. In market terms, the value of a slut consists mostly of sexual availability and little else. Even so, no matter how talented the slut in a sexual sense, the men she attempts to attract benefit more from a “pump and dump,” as Mr. White would put it, than from anything else. For the cream on top of this recipe of disaster, interaction with the slut does not have the implicit guarantees that come with transactions with whores or ex-whores. The average man can easily be fooled into being a cuckold. Or to quote Mr. White, “You can’t turn a ho into a housewife.”

This, of course, leads into the appeal of the “slut” in adult films. The actress taking on the role of the slut thereby sells not only the usual sexual fantasy, but furthers it with new connotations:
  • I find you attractive.
  • I’m sexually open and available.
  • I need to have sex.
  • I won’t charge you for this exquisite fulfillment of lust.
  • I will not deceive you.
  • I will not entrap you with another man’s offspring.
It’s an intoxicating potion too good to be true, but that’s the point of JAV, with this movie as a good example.


The Actress

In my last review, I complained about the deceptions of Photoshop and judging a film by its cover. My sharp disappointment with JUX-600 caused me to go on a JAV break. This movie pulled me out of that funk. Having been fooled once, I was thorough in researching if Kaho Shibuya was as attractive as her cover picture and, praise the Maker, she is!

As much as I favor Yuma Asami, Kaho Shibuya is more beautiful. The oval shape is well-framed by short black hair and her face is rounded off with a pair of dimples that lend her a mischievous air when she smiles. That mischief is quite attractive, even as it quietly advertises what we’re really dealing with. Let me out put it this way: when she smiles, she makes clear she’s no Yua Mikami.

Physically, Kaho Shibuya has a similar figure to Yuma Asami, with a small waist and large breasts (K cups) that were formed naturally and not butchered into existence by some would-be Pygmalion. This shapely body combined with her beauty makes her bankable.

As to her career, it’s rather non-traditional. She initially appeared under Alice Japan, but didn’t cause many waves until she was signed by Tissue. This is speculation, but it seems that Tissue intended to set her on a path similar to China Matsuoka’s, appearing once a month in much hyped releases. However, Kaho Shibuya decided against that in the most brazen way possible, breaking her contract and appearing in nine films for a number of different labels in a single week. It seems like that worked, given her production schedule since.

Rating 4.0


The Performance

This isn’t Kaho Shibuya’s first time by any reasonable measures of the phrase, but this video is her first appearance working under contract working for the Tissue label. It’s fair to say that after the relative obscurity of her early career, it was her antics in this one which truly promoted her to notoriety.

No innocent here, folks – the star of this film plays the slattern with panache. Even during the introduction sequence, where the camera, much like the male gaze, goes right to her cleavage, Kaho Shibuya’s response can best be summed up as “not yet, eyes up here, then we can play.” Vocally, she reminds me a bit of the Western actress Devon twenty years ago, as she expresses her pleasure without doing the stereotypical JAV whine.

As you might guess, the best word to describe Kaho Shibuya’s performance is “slutty,” but other words that come to mind include enthusiastic, energetic, even greedy. She is certainly conscious of the camera and does a good job of playing to the audience behind the lens, but further brings to mind another word to describe her performance: hedonistic. Even as she plays to the camera, a suspicion lurks that her chosen career is not due to its relative ease or the good pay at the upper tiers, but because she is seeking pleasure. Of course, it could all be a play to the viewer’s fantasies, but at this point, either she’s a fantastic actress or a shameless sybarite.

Rating 4.0 


Story/Theme/Setting

No story, no setting, the theme is how much of a slut Kaho Shibuya is. It’s the weakest part of the whole film as the director seemed more focused on blatant slutdom. It’s an approach that has more in similarity with the average Brazzers scene than with the more typical build-up of JAV. There’s a lesson in creativity that showing is stronger than telling, but this film would have benefited from a bit of subtlety. Even as in your face as it is, there are still a handful of moments that stand out that are more subtle, such as the casual “eyes up here” or the simple practicality of when she uses her cleavage to hold a bottle of water as she drinks. There are four scenes, which don’t necessarily flow together, but more on that momentarily. They mostly work.

Rating 3.0


Sexual Content

This is what the majority of you came for, so to address the obvious question: yes, she plays the slut to perfection. The first sex scene opens with Kaho Shibuya entering an apartment where a couch has been covered with a blanket. She pulls off the blanket to reveal a man bound by sophisticated bondage gear that leave him in a position more often associated with female actresses. After a deeply formal dogeza which brings her head to the ground, our heroine assesses the situation and… analingus ensues.

No one said a slut needed to be rude.

After analingus and fellatio, Kaho Shibuya proceeds to… well, cowgirl position and mounts him like a pony. She remains fully clothed until the director reminds her that maybe it would be polite to give her new toy some room to move, perhaps even free her breasts from the confines of her sweater and bra. Our heroine amiably agrees and… frees the actor’s legs, leaving essentially exactly how she found him, before she proceeds to further fellatio and a bit of paizuri. She’s about to mount the actor again when the director suggests freeing him completely.

The actor proceeds to eat out and finger Kaho Shibuya so aggressively that she squirts. What ensues is an aggressive sex scene where the two aim to assert dominance via sex. A variety of positions follow as each pushes against the other more forcefully until the winner is, obviously, Kaho Shibuya. She’s almost disappointed when she finishes off her challenger, but her good humor returns quickly.

The next scene is more routine, as Kaho Shibuya wears a silky white baby doll and uses her hands, mouth, and breasts to bring the male actor to orgasm.

The final two scenes are gangbangs, but of very different natures. The more routine gangbang opens in a way that suggests slut Kaho Shibuya has been called upon to provide a man with a deeper comprehension of sex, but that’s dispensed with after two more fellows appear. Our heroine appears quite pleased with the scenario and goes on the attack, using almost every means available to her to seek pleasure for herself. I say almost as there is no anal in this film. There’s one particular moment where she’s on her back and one actor is pounding away, another is using her mouth, and the last makes aggressive use of her breasts. The scene continues as the actors drop out one by one as their inevitable orgasms renders unable to compete, the sexual version of Highlander. The last survivor is as aggressive as the actor from the first scene, but even as he finishes on Kaho Shibuya’s face, we all know who won.

The last scene reverses the first, where the three actors seized Kaho Shibuya and bind her with the bondage gear from the first scene. The actors are armed with all kinds of sex toys, including dildos, vibrators, and massagers, but even as she squirts onto the camera, it’s clear she loves it. Even after they remove her restraints, they discover she has no interest in escape. When they finally leave, it’s clear that even as she recovers her breath, Kaho Shibuya would gladly take more for free.

Rating 3.5


Overall

This film was Kaho Shibuya’s breakout role, as her popularity grew exponentially after this point. Three months after this film, she was confident enough in her staying power to deliberately break a contract with a label and essentially get away scot-free. Kaho Shibuya is the college slut, the hottest girl on campus whose sexual availability is legendary, but does not capitalize on her assets. She portrays a sexual hedonist and I’m not convinced it’s an act. This film is worth watching, particularly for those who enjoy her particular brand of slatternly brazenness.
