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.

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: EBOD-109 Small Waist Big Hips DEBUT JULIA!! !

ID: EBOD-109
Actress: Julia
Release Date: 2010-04-13
Label: E-BODY
Genres: Big Tits, Debut
Reviewer: Mr. White

Introduction

The genre of debut films can be satisfying while at the same time frustrating. On the one hand, there is nothing more satisfying than discovering a hot new actress. But on the other hand, debut films often lack a large amount of sex, instead opting for a tease of delayed gratification and buildup. While that certainly does have artistic and erotic value, it doesn't have a whole lot of replay value. Unless there was an unusually awesome debut film, it's rare for me to go back to a debut once an actress has put out a lot of other great films. Compared to other genres of JAV, going back to an actress's debut can seem a little too basic once you've seen her explore the more hardcore or erotic themes that are commonplace. With that in mind, I decided to go back and take a look at the debut of my absolute favorite JAV idol: Julia.

I can honestly say I haven't watched Julia's debut film in years, to the point where I've pretty much forgotten it. So I return to it with a clean slate, ready to see if it has stood up to the test of time, or if Julia's subsequent work is just so far better almost to make her debut seem primitive by comparison. Let's find out.

The Actress

As Mr. Tan alluded to in his review of one of Julia's films in August, some other commitments have temporarily limited my time to contribute to this blog.  So it was with a mix of excitement and fear that he surprised me by taking a look at one of her movies.  While I felt he was a little harsh on his opinion of her face, overall he had no choice but to highly recommend the film he saw, which naturally pleased me.  As readers of this blog may know, Julia is the actress that really got me to develop JAV fandom.

As readers of this blog will also know, I struggle to be objective when it comes to Julia. She utterly dominates my collection, she's a certified pro with her bedroom skills, and it's hard for me to conceive of getting tired of her.

When taking a look at this debut, I immediately noticed the title, which referenced her large hips and tiny, tiny waist. Obviously, I really enjoy her tits which I find to be the greatest of all time. But one of the reasons her tits seem so awesome is due to the fact that her slender frame and small waist make them appear even bigger. To me, Julia has the ideal body ratio: small frame, big tits, and a pretty good sized ass with a firm shape.

Rating 4.0

The Performance

Right off the bat, I can see that this film follows an unusual format for a debut. Simply put, there is no buildup, it's right into the sex from the outset. I'll go into my detailed thoughts about that below, but in this section I'm focused only on Julia's performance. The reason why I bring it up though, is because this format does not give Julia any opportunity to seduce the viewer. There are no teases, or slow undressing segments, we just get right down to business.

Because the film lacks the more seductive and erotic elements that most debut films have, Julia is not exactly given an opportunity to deliver a great performance. I can't exactly fault her for that. Julia can't be blamed for the lack of chances to have any acting, seduction, or on-screen charisma. So in order to rate her performance, I have nothing to consider but the quality of her sex skills.

Julia delivers some great blowjob segments and her moaning and acting during sex is on point. She does a great job of working her body when she can and is facially expressive during sex. She definitely doesn't take a lazy approach. I would've liked to see her take control a little bit more, but overall her sexual prowess is satisfying.

Even though it may not be 100% Julia's fault, I still have to subtract for the lack of charisma and seduction on display. In this film, I feel like I'm not getting the "real" Julia. In fact, the low amount of dialogue from her is a bit jarring. She makes up for these flaws with some good components of sex though. This movie is a satisfying example of seeing Julia get fucked, but not much else is going on here.

Rating: 3.0

Story/Theme/Setting

In terms of measuring the execution of this debut versus other debuts I've seen, I have to rate this one as a failure. The title itself makes reference to Julia's killer body measurements, yet there is no chance provided to examine her assets. I would've loved a classic debut-style striptease, nude interview, posing, etc. but there's none of that here and it's a real shame.

This movie quickly jumps into sex, and then quickly again from scene to scene with little or no context or setup. In fact, the viewer would have no way of knowing this was a debut film! While the sex is good in the movie, in terms of the elements I look for in a good example of the debut genre, this film is lacking. It's funny, because sometimes I watch a debut and feel they are too slow in getting to the sex, but this film gets to the sex way too fast. I would've really loved some solo glamour scenes with the lovely Julia. I would say there's a decent film here overall, but a terrible execution of the debut genre.

Rating 1.0

Sexual Content

Although this film fails as a debut, the actual sex is very good, albeit with a few flaws. The very little amount of titfucking is also disappointing, because Julia gives some amazing paizuri service in other films. But the biggest crime of all is the first scene, which largely hides her tits and leaves her mostly clothes while she is getting banged. I could understand if we were going for a slow progression here, but since the movie goes right into the fucking immediately, I expect Julia's clothes to come off. I also don't appreciate the fact that instead of ending with a facial, the guy ejaculates all over Julia's neck. Was she a bit prudish when it came to cum in the beginning of her career? Certainly makes me wonder.

Things improve in the next scene thanks to some nice camerawork and close-ups of Julia's wonderful bouncing tits while she is on her knees delivering a blowjob and titfuck. Thankfully, this scene ends with a proper facial. From there, the film moves to the next scene which has some nice closeups of Julia's ass and pussy, as well as some nice shots of her body while she is fingered and eaten out. This then moves to sex, which includes some fantastic cowgirl positions and more close up shots of Julia's tits. The scene concludes on a satisfying note with another good facial while Julia sucks out every last drop of cum. Following this is a short but entertaining scene where Julia gets covered in oil while getting her tits and pussy played with.

We then move on to the closing scene, which has more quality camerawork with some love to Julia's tits shown once again with more close ups. There's a good amount of breast worshiping here on the part of the male actor, and Julia is in great form with her blowjob skills. From there, there's more fantastic cowgirl sex and some slightly aggressive doggystyle pounding, which was a nice touch. The scene closes with missionary and a cumshot into Julia's mouth, which she eagerly laps up with her tongue.

Overall, the camerawork in the sex scenes is really great with special attention paid to Julia's tits. The quality of the sex is also very good. My only complaint here is the excessive amount of clothing in the opening scene.

Rating: 3.7

Overall

From start to finish, this movie was a poor job at a debut. In fact, the only reason I enjoyed it when it first came out was probably due to the hotness of Julia and the very good quality of the sex scenes, coupled with some brilliant camerawork. But sadly, this one does not stand the test of time and cannot compare to her newer work, or even many of her other early films. Unlike other poor debut films, the failure here is not due to it being boring or lacking enough hardcore elements. Here, it's because of a poorly handled introduction to the actress and a lack of opportunities to get to know her as a performer. I struggled to find even a single line of dialogue from Julia. It's a real shame that such an elite JAV idol had such a poor debut in that sense. Still, I can't ignore the fact that the sex scenes are really good for the most part and Julia's blowjob efforts are top notch.

For the final verdict, can I recommend this movie? Certainly I think Julia collectors will want to have it because I think most JAV fans like the idea of owning the debut of their favorite idols, even if it's just for collectible purposes. For everyone else, while I think there are many better Julia films out there, I think this one is worth a look. The sex scenes are satisfying and it's a nice glimpse into the beginning of her career.

STAR-128 Celebrity Shock AV Debut HITOMI

ID: STAR-128
Actress: Hitomi Tanaka
Release Date: 2008-11-06
Label: Soft On Demand
Genres: AV Debut
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

Soft On Demand has debuted many superstars, including amongst others Saori Hara, Aimi Yoshikawa, Sakura Mana, and China Mastuoka. I had the debuts for all of the aforementioned stars, and I had almost decided to go through each of them this month. However, I felt that would be a disservice, since that would introduce a bias into the data. Instead, I decided to limit myself to one film from that label.

The winner ended up being HITOMI aka Hitomi Tanaka, an eight-year veteran who has made limited forays into the West. Currently, she’s one of the iconic examples of the JAV industry, recognized on sight by most anyone with an internet connection. In an amusing example of marketing fibs, this film was supposedly the “first and last IMPACT of her J-cup bust and Well-shaped waist and hip!” Of course popular demand for this film was so great she changed her mind in days, returned to SOD, and helped churn out a new film within four weeks. For the less perceptive of our correspondents, that previous sentence was sarcastic.

Let’s examine this film and see if it was worth the hubbub.

The Actress

Unlike Julia, I remain apathetic in regards to Hitomi. I don’t think she’s a butterface, but on the flipside, I don’t find her all that pretty. It’s not that her features are asymmetrical or otherwise ugly. I mentioned in my Haruki Sato review how the hot glamour babe tends to have a less-attractive-yet-still-pretty friend, and Hitomi is another one who falls into that category.

Yes, this is even with her massive breasts accounted for. Certainly, they are, as Mr. White called them, “titanic,” but that’s not a commendation in and of itself. Boobpedia claims that RION’s breasts and body are similar to Hitomi’s, but I do think that particular contributor needs a prescription for new glasses, since whatever RION’s flaws as a performer, her body is nigh-perfect, and far better than HItomi’s.

On the flip side, no one would ever claim Hitomi is bad at her work. She can be quite enthusiastic, as anyone who saw her collaboration with Anri Okita can testify, and I still fondly recall my first encounter with her online, a video of her having sex at the beach (a scene I subsequently learned came from her second film). Note I said at the beach, since the action was inside a white van. Who would have known that the sex offender van is the same in both Japan and in the West?

Rating 3.0

The Performance

I mentioned previously that Anri Okita was born to be a gravure model, so it’s interesting how the scenes by an actual gravure model turned JAV idol feel a bit inferior to those made by a complete amateur. However, I am confident that the fault lies completely with the director, Keita★ No.1.

Hitomi is consistently positive in the two hours and eighteen minutes of her debut, typically smiling in non-sex and non-gravure scenes. It’s a charmingly girl-next-door quality in a woman whose breasts essentially predetermined the course of her career. It’s too bad the whole thing is just so… mediocre. During the gravure scenes, she wears this bovine expression that works at cross-purposes to the titillation aspect. I suspect that with breasts so large, there was less of a need for her to express sultry seduction at will.

Still, at least she’s enthusiastic during sex. Too bad there’s not much of it.

Rating 3.0

Story/Theme/Setting

There are debuts and then there are debuts. Hitomi’s debut is worse than bog standard. There is a business concept called “return on investment,” and the time invested in Hitomi’s debut ends in an unsatisfactory experience.

My sense of humor is a dry and vestigial thing, so I found the scene where Hitomi’s breasts are poked by four plastic sticks for an extended period of time… imbecilic. I’ll not be impressed with a metal rod being applied under her breasts or by a stomach massager being wrapped around her waist and activated to jiggle her breasts. The music used during the gravure scenes sounds like hip hop from the 90s, so while Mr. White would love it, my reaction is a shrug. Surely a major label like Soft On Demand has some connections in the Japanese music industry capable of providing better?

The buildup is an important element of AV debuts, but this payoff is inadequate. The whole film coasts on Hitomi’s breasts, even though that thought had not occurred to the actress herself.

Rating 2.5

Sexual Content

In the Yua Mikami debut, the viewer does not see her naked for a half-hour, and penetration is thirty minutes after that. Here, the director decided that Hitomi was not to be seen fully naked until ninety minutes into the one-thirty-eight minute film. Yes, even her first actual sex scene, an hour into the film, is not fully nude. Her swimsuit top remains on the entire time.

The argument could be made that there is more sexual content than non-sexual content, but the covered breasts make it a disappointment. The first sexual scene, half an hour in, involves Hitomi’s breasts being wasted. Time is wasted on “nipple sex” where the actor’s penis is put inside her swimsuit top and rubbed against her nipples, before it moves to a paizuri and ends with the contents in between Hitomi’s cleavage. Her nipples are never seen and her expression is indifferent.

Her first full sex scene, briefly referenced in the introduction to this section, does show her censored vagina, and does that charming underwear-pulled-aside-not-off fetish I enjoy in moderation, but once again, no nipples. This is something of a cardinal flaw in a movie debuting a woman marketed on her breasts. Still, that is on the director’s head, since Hitomi gives some aggressive fellatio and vocalizes her pleasure quite well.

The final scene is a full-service sex scene, with reverse cowgirl, doggy, and missionary. Hitomi is in twintails, which hits another fetish point nicely, and performs quite well, but as enjoyable it is, it is not the kind of scene to save a mediocre movie. It serves more of an example of what could have been had the director not phoned it in.

Rating 3.0

Overall

As critical as I am of Hitomi’s physical appearance, she has always been aggressive and enthusiastic during her sexual performances. It’s why her debut is a disappointment. It’s a string of missed opportunities and the fault of that lies entirely with Keita★ No.1. It almost feels like he took one look at Hitomi and said, “She has titanic breasts. Cupid has spoken.” The IMPACT from HItomi’s breasts may as well have been about as meaningful as a three-month-old baby punching Mike Tyson on the chin.

Had this truly been a one-and-done scenario in the style of Yua Mikami, I would speculate that its mediocrity would have prevented Hitomi from having a career in JAV. Fortunately, Soft On Demand’s marketing fibbed, and Hitomi was most likely securely signed for many more films. The busty starlet would go on to deliver far better films with great performances.

Introduction

Back when I reviewed Yua Mikami’s debut, I wondered aloud if there was some undefined quality in specific debuts that telegraph nascent superstars. After all, Yua Mikami’s debut was supposed to be a one-and-done deal, yet she won the best newcomer award off of that standalone effort and was convinced to return.

Originally, Mr. White and I had planned to sample the AV Open. The AV Open is a massive barrage of JAV, timed for September, where all the labels fire off a few dozen films. Mr. White’s crises decided me against that course, since there’s no way I’ll be able to handle that by myself. Instead, I elected to review a few superstar AV debuts and see if I can identify any noteworthy characteristics.

First up: Anri Okita.

The Actress

I mentioned previously that Anri Okita was my favorite before she retired. One glance at the title of her AV debut, Mankind's Strongest Hundred Million Yen Body, only touches the tip of the iceberg about why I like her so much. From the crown of her head down to the soles of her feet, Anri-chan is the sort of beauty who turns heads in a crowd. Admittedly, RION has the same, but Anri-chan radiates confidence, elegance, and sophistication. On top of that, she does not consider her beauty an excuse for boorish behavior; her social media profiles demonstrate consistent graciousness in her interactions with her fans.

Going back to her physical attributes, Anri-chan is a hafu, with origins in Mr. White’s native England, where she was raised. She owns a heart-shaped face of uncommon beauty and a voluptuous body, by which I mean the original meaning of the word, not the bastardized appropriation the fat women of the West use to ruin it for everyone. Unusually for an Englishwoman or a Japanese woman, Anri-chan has a large and shapely derriere to balance out her fantastic breasts. Her body, like her presence, is sensuality and eroticism.

I’ll address the elephant in the room now. There have been objections that Anri-can is too perfect – the completeness of her physical beauty is so far above most of her peers that it’s easy to doubt nature alone shaped it. I am inclined to think everything came preinstalled, so to speak. Anyone who observes her body over the course of her career will notice that she became plumper as the years went by; her AV debut had her with an hourglass figure, while her retirement video demonstrated a body that had traded that tiny waist for larger breasts and buttocks. Based on that visual evidence as well as her statements confirming her “realness” and wondering why the West loves fakes, she’s a natural delight!

Rating 4.0

The Performance

Anri Okita was born to be a gravure model, so JAV enthusiasts should be grateful she chose to jump into AV instead. There are several segments that would fit better in a gravure film where Anri-chan displays a talent for titillation. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with superior camera work, delivers the kind of result that supercharges the viewer: being teased makes the viewer want her even more.

Anri-chan’s debut was about two hours and twenty-five minutes long and had less directly sexual content than Yua Mikami’s debut, but it’s clear the director chose to have Anri-chan engaged her future fans first. The first glimpse we have of our heroine is the opening gravure-style scene, where the viewer sees that million dollar body, but not her complete face. Anri-chan addresses the viewer in English, talking about her tense state for her first film, and her enthusiasm for the career she’s chosen, and she sounds so genuine the viewer wants to cheer her on. Another scene, also in English, is where Anri-chan describes an ideal sexual encounter, one that many viewers would certainly get into.

Based on this AV debut, Anri Okita is not a natural at showmanship, but she did use her charisma as a sort of cheat code. She may not play to the camera, but the genuine way she interacts with the actors makes the whole experience rather intimate. In addition, when asked questions about what will happen next, she adopts an expression best summarized as “I’m game, let’s do this.”

Rating 4.0

Story/Theme/Setting

The first time the viewer finally sees Anri-chan’s face is about seven minutes in, as the director focuses most of the camera’s attention on her breasts. In fact, the introductory scene is an extended oil massage, as an actor fondles her breasts in an extended sequence that does not exactly qualify as an interview, I think.

That’s just one way that the execution in this film differs from how AV debuts are usually handled. As another example, the conversations are not always interviewer-interviewed style, but alternate with scenes where the make-up artist is conversing with Anri-chan. It has a delightfully down-to-earth quality that contrasts with our heroine’s natural glamour. Build-up and payoff apparently were not considered primary concerns, as the director seems most interested in introducing her to the masses and getting them to engage with the star. However, some of those stylistic choices, specifically how it influenced the presentation of the sexual content, negatively impact the total.

Rating 3.5

Sexual Content

This debut balances its non-sexual and sexual content well. There are four sexual scenes, two with full penetration, and each one does its best to introduce the viewers to “Sex with Anri Okita.” The first scene is a full service scene, with breast fondling, fingering, fellatio, paizuri, and intercourse. Intercourse includes missionary, cowgirl, and doggy, as well as a memorable sequence where Anri-chan thrusts upward from missionary. Throughout the scene, it’s clear that our heroine is enjoying herself greatly, and not just vocalizing it, but by directly telling her colleague that he’s making her feel good. The sincerity is quite charming, a refreshing change of pace for a jaded JAV consumer.

The second scene is more tease than satisfaction, in the sense that there is no penetration. It begins with a gravure-style sequence, as Anri-chan fondles herself while wearing a white bikini, then transitions to dry-humping, paizuri, and intercrural sex activity. Fellatio ensues, and the scene ends with our heroine using her hand to finish off the actor, in contrast to the previous scene’s “masturbate onto her face” conclusion.

The third scene is Anri-chan’s “perfect” sex scene, and it is the high point of the film. It’s aggressive, erotic, passionate, and scintillating, a league above 95% of other AV debut sexual content. This full service scene is almost perfect; Anri-chan’s supremely satisfied expression would have been the perfect way to end her AV debut. Alas, the actual conclusion is rather disappointing. The final scene is a masturbation sequence, one where Anri-chan aggressively pleasures herself by finger, massager, and vibrator, and her ending expression is tired instead of pleased.

Rating 3.5

Overall

It’s entirely likely this film would have had a perfect score if the director had chosen to move the scenes around: the white bikini as the first sex scene, then the initial intercourse scene, then the masturbation sequence, then Anri-can’s “perfect” sex scene. The impact would have been greater while still preserving the non-conformity of her debut. However, that lies on the director’s head, since Anri-chan herself did an exemplary job in terms of speaking to the audience, interacting with her colleagues, and having sex.

Based on this AV debut alone, Anri Okita displayed great potential, though it would be hard to say this film could have predicted her superstar status. Indeed, the fact it breaks with AV debut conventions should have sank her career from the get-go, but a number of factors rendered that moot. Anri-chan's debut as part of the Fresh Face NO.1 STYLE series bulletproofed her career to a certain extent, while her charisma turned that opportunity into a springboard toward a successful career.

Review: PPPD-384 Ultra-Luxury Tits - Creampie Cosplay Photo Session JULIA

ID: PPPD-384
Actress: JULIA
Release Date: 2015-07-19
Label: Oppai
Genres: Cosplay
Reviewer: Mr. Tan

Introduction

Julia has been a monthly feature of this blog since our launch. As Mr. White is currently distracted due to various crises, he is unable to review for a while. I felt it would be inappropriate to allow a month to go by without his beloved JAV idol, so I have stepped in temporarily for my hounded colleague. It also has to do with how he silently covered for me last week while my personal machine was doing its best to impersonate a corpse.

Before he was forced into hiatus, Mr. White reviewed two films from the “The Cosplayer With The Super Golden Ratio Body” series, with Rion and Saki Okuda. The Golden Ratio, for those connoisseurs who enjoy a bit of learning with their JAV, is also known as the divine proportion, golden mean, or golden section. Briefly, the golden ratio is shorthand for a specific kind of aesthetic beauty, amongst other things. In other words, Mr. White's reviews were on cosplay by women with divinely proportionate bodies.

Let’s see how Julia measures up to that ideal.

The Actress

Unlike Mr. White, my initial reaction to Julia was negative. I could not see what the fuss was about, as I found her face weird. After some fierce lobbying and earnest proselytizing from several JAV hobbyists, including Mr. White, my opinion has evolved somewhat.

Even now, I am still perplexed by whatever genetics produced Julia’s face. It’s long, yet the chin narrows to a point the way it would in a heart-shaped face. From different angles, it can appear somewhat oval, yet the cheekbones are quite prominent. Even after my conversion, I still think her nose is weird. Her saving grace is her facial symmetry, so she is pretty, although not classically beautiful.

One point Julia fans and anti-fans everywhere can agree on would be that her breasts are beautiful. Large and shapely, Julia’s breasts are flawless. Even in an industry full of large bosoms, hers certainly qualify as works of art. In addition, the rest of Julia’s body is proportioned toward long and slender, which help her breasts stand out even more prominently. However, those same slim lines suggest that she is not in the golden ratio, but I’m sure we can all live with that.

Rating 3.5

The Performance

With only two hours on the clock, this is a fast movie. The movie is divided into three scenes (or three cosplays): Maya from Dragon Quest IV, Mari Illustrious Makinami from the Rebuild of Evangelion, and  Hancock Boa of One Piece. In each scene, it takes an average of seven minutes for sexual activity to begin. Just as the case was in Mao Hamasaki’s swimsuit movie, the performance is almost entirely sexual, except for those seven starting minutes. For the vast majority of the film, Julia delivers a solid performance, both as her character and as a sexual courtesan.

However, even in such short sequences, the more-informed viewer will get the impression that the cosplay performance only goes skin deep. All three of the characters Julia depicts are energetic and dominant characters, but the intro photography session with “Mari” and the sex itself was uncharacteristically meek. If they were going to go that route, it would have been child’s play to find a meek, busty schoolgirl character to cosplay. That complaint aside, Julia does a good job conveying control and enthusiasm in the other two scenes.

Rating 3.5

Story/Theme/Setting

Welcome to the ultra-luxury membership Cosplay photo session.

That’s the introductory scrawl to the movie, so it is safe to say that this combines a number of niches. For starters, our actor avatar is relatively well-dressed and totes a professional camera at the start of each scene. Right off the bat, you have elite customers with high-quality goods, an attractive model in a skimpy cosplay outfit, and implied sexual guarantees. It’s surprisingly immersive, since the viewer gets the impression that even the locations are produced due to client specification.

Speaking of the locations, we have an “outcall” experience at one client’s classy, sophisticated apartment, an “incall” to the place many JAVs use for their classroom scenes (along with what I suspect is the rest of that busted building), and another outcall to a client’s luxurious hotel suite.

As for the costumes, color me shocked, but the director didn’t cheap out and get the cheapest outfits his assistants could find. They’re not ultra quality, like the Asuna cosplay from ZUKO-067, but they’re still significantly better than the other outfits in that film. This is one of the rare instances where the director did put in the effort in the visuals.

Rating 4.0

Sexual Content

Unfortunately, the film title is a little inaccurate. Fear not, there is a creampie in each scene, it’s simply that in two of the scenes, it doesn’t end at the creampie. In addition, the sexual content makes sense in progression, as the locations become more expensive, but so far as sexual advancement goes, it does not flow as well.

The first scene is with “Maya,” who quickly takes advantage of her client’s position (he’s on the floor to take upskirt-style pictures) to take over the entire session. She sits on him and quickly removes his trousers. Underwear to underwear contact and an erection ensues, so Julia takes the executive decision to pull down (not off) her client’s underwear so he can photograph her fellatio. The scene rapidly escalates as she decides to skip the photo session and go right for the sex. After some light teasing, the bra comes off, Julia’s bosom is in view, and the scene progresses to a handjob under the underwear. After that comes paizuri, then some fingering and cunnilingus, before the underwear (only the underwear!) comes off and penetration begins. Julia begins by enegergetically mounting her client in cowgirl position, which eventually moves to doggy-style, and culminates in the creampie in missionary position. However, the matter is not ended there! Julia revives after thirty seconds or so, and begins to fellate her customer even as she fingers herself. She finishes the scene with a paizuri so good that her client, who just creampied her three minutes ago, ejaculates all over her breasts. I want to emphasize that Julia finished him off, there was none of the “masturbate on her breasts” cliché.

The second scene begin with “Mari” in the classroom and, in my opinion, Julia’s looks work exceptionally well with the character. The client is in charge here and he’s rather pushy. His camera ends up hitting Julia’s glasses while he is taking an excessively close picture. The photo scene is short before he indulges himself. The breast play is decent, then Julia is pushed down onto her knees and the forced fellatio begins. There is some deepthroat action and once Julia regains agency, her technique is fairly aggressive. Stage 1 ends with Julia spitting out her client’s “gift” and shooting him an aggravated look before he soothes her. Stage 2 begins elsewhere in the deteriorating building, with the implication of a relatively long and somewhat creepy photo session. The client has maneuvered “Mari” onto a room with an air mattress and pushes her down before he begins aggressively pawing at her. After some fingering and cunnilingus, he gets on top of her and begins thrusting into her mouth. This segues into a number of sexual positions that do their best to emphasize Julia’s breasts, including spooning sex, sitting sex, cowgirl, standing doggy (complete with a great view of Julia’s heaving bosom), reverse cowgirl, and culminating in a creampie in cowgirl. Again, not the end, but in this case, it seems like the actor was still sensitive, since in the “clean-up” fellatio, he ejaculated a little into Julia's mouth. She spat that out as well.

The last scene with “Boa” begins with her introduction to her gray-haired client by a staffer at the hotel. Unlike the previous scenes, this one implies the client takes a lot of time to photograph her, as they eventually take a break for champagne. Julia coaxes the client to accept a massage, one that quickly reveals she’s not wearing any panties. The scene moves into a “dry” soapland, as Julia massages the client with her bare breasts even as she pulls more and more of his clothing off of him. What begins with fellatio transitions to a tangle of handjob, footjob, and 69 play before the client treats Julia to some breast play, fingering, and cunnilingus. Penetration begins with missionary, continues to sitting, and culminates with a creampie in doggy.

Rating 3.8 

Overall 

A great deal of consideration was put into the theme of this film and the quality shows. The costumes are very good, the locations are great, and Julia does her best to deliver an erotic performance. While she has been accused of coasting on her bosom, that was not the case here. She is firmly in the lead for two-thirds of the movie and it certainly seems like she is enjoying herself. That said, one part which I can praise objectively while acknowledging the damage done in terms of sexual flow is the progression of scenes. An observant viewer would notice that as the scenes progress, the locations become more expensive, and the actor avatar is older. This makes logical sense, since older men would have more wealth to spend on this kind of hobby and would also have less stamina for the sex. Still, the realism detracts from the flow of the sexual content. Even so, the quality of the sexual content renders this relatively minor. Julia fans will be delighted by this and cosplay fans will also find this enjoyable.

Review: SNIS-656 Super Golden Ratio BODY Cosplayers SEX RION

ID: SNIS-656
Actress: Rion (Shion Utsunomiya)
Release Date: 2016-05-19
Label: S No.1 STYLE
Genres: Cosplay, Big Tits
Reviewer: Mr. White

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+
