Mariko in the Family Way: 2001

I dug into IMDb work seriously today, putting in the poster links, and assembling data on Pink Films released in 1993. I pasted the filmography listings into the temporary work-file, then got the official pages and cast listings for the Xces, ENK, and Shintoho studios. OP / Okura doesn't seem to give listings for its older films.

Tonight in our visit with Mariko, we rejoin her after a vacation of some four or five years. After her tangle with Chiharu Mizushima in 1997, she doesn't seem to have appeared in any videos for a while.

She came back to the AV industry in 2001, very much in the family way, making an AV and posing for photo shoots while pregnant. [Note 2015/02/02: Another source proves this was originally a VHS, but does not give a release date.] We see her above, looking very motherly and with that warm smile she brought to her performances.

Entitled Bakunyû ninpu (爆乳妊婦; "Bomber Boobs Pregnancy"), the 90-minute AV was released by D-House (ディーハウス) with the video code of DVN-001. The DVD cover above claims she was in her ninth month of pregnancy during the filming. I know from personal experience that the counting of age in Korea starts with the first year/month, so that their pregnancies go for 10 months. People's ages are reported between one and two years older than they would be in the West... It used to be the same system in Japan, and I believe they still use the same counting sometimes. So this means Mariko could actually be in the eighth month here...

Anyway, Mariko was certainly less athletic in this performance than she was in previous videos. The entire video can be viewed on XHamster under the title "Japanese Pregnant with Monster Tits". The usual measuring and weighing of the assets didn't pose any threat to her maternal status.

Other Mariko fans with whom I was in contact at the time that this video was new were generally not very enthusiastic about a pregnant video. I have to admit to it not being overly attractive to me either, but since going through pregnancy with my own wife, tolerable at least...

And with Mariko's already spectacular bosom now full of motherly nourishment certainly makes a nice vision...

The images above are more from the era, from magazine photo-shoots and/or done during the shooting of the video.
