My IMDb work has been pretty slow this week. I've finished translating through February 1997, and submitted a few films. My major breakthrough this weekend was in figuring out how to save Youtube-like video, which gave me a few more full videos to view and review, and lots of clips. You may all find it amusing that I just figured out how to do this, but remember, I'm an old guy, and was working on a Windows 98 system until little over a year ago. In fact I'd still be on that system if Blogger hadn't updated their system... speaking of which, a year into using that new system, and I STILL think it's garbage. There are LOTS of things I could do with images and formatting in the old system that I can't do with this dumbed-down graphic interface... but I ranted about that plenty back then...
Tonight we look in on lovely, lovely Kiyomi Suzumoto whom we first met in a post of August 5, 2013 announcing her DVD, JUFD-307, and in another post later the same month announcing JUFD-315, in which she was paired with Shizuko Fujiki.
These images are from an upcoming GYUKAN release, but no video code has been attached to it. It should be the fourth in the series, and therefore GYU-004, since the last was GYU-003, starring Erisa Natsume. Since Erisa and Kiyomi bear some resemblance to each other, and since they haven't been identifying these images as anything other than "GYUKAN", it's been causing me some confusion. In fact I may have accidentally posted some images of Kiyomi and called her Erisa...
...and to make matters even more confusing, the same blogs are posting new images of Erisa Natsume, promoting not only GYU-003, but also, apparently, a DVD ROM, with a code of "CHO-01" on the cover, yet the image saves as "CHO-16".
...and a CD-ROM...
We see images of the cover, plus pictures of Erisa at a promotional event. Note the list of DVD Numbers on the table above.
...and THEN, to make matters even worse... in the same blogs, we're getting images of an unidentified model in a DEKAJIRI release, such as the one above... who could easily be Erisa... or is it Kiyomi?... or is it someone else?... and is this in an upcoming DEKA-007 release, or one of the previous six? I don't know... it hasn't been announced... But, until we get the answers, we can just relax and enjoy the lovely scenery!

Yôko Koizumi, The Embrace of Motherly Love: MR-154
The Video
MR-154 |
The title is Debu bijo: Bosei ai no hôyô (デブ美女 母性愛の抱擁; "Fat Beauty: The Embrace of Motherly Love"; MR-154), and it is the thirteenth release in the Kyohô (Debusen) series (巨豊13(デブ専)). I don't know what the "Debusen" after the series title means, but it's possible it's related to Alpha International's "Debusen Club" videos whose video covers we looked at in July 2012. Yôko Koizumi was in the 17th video in that series, but the images on the cover look similar, but not exactly like this video. For one thing, the male in Kyohô 13 wears glasses, but in FDS-17, he doesn't seem to. Another difference is that the "Debusen Club" spells "Debu" with hiragana (でぶ専クラブ), while Kyohô uses katakana (デブ専). Regardless, I've established a release date of late 1999 for the Debusen Club videos, and Yôko looks about the same age in them as she does in this Kyohô video.
I've known of magnificent Yôko ever since I first got online full-time-- about 1998, but I've had a lot of trouble trying to figure out exactly when she was performing. Since her videos are older releases, the release dates I find for them tend to be later re-issues. And because she was a performer in a then-unpopular genre-- BBW-- I find little information on her at more fan-based sites, like blogs (such as this one, whose main interest seems to be Yôko) or Japanese Wikipedia, which has entries on thousands of AV performers, but not Yôko... She was the main star of Akira Takatsuki's The Bakunyû hôman musume series, which uses the English sub-title "The Bomber Fat Girl" on its covers. The earliest release date I can find for this series is 2005, but it's certainly older than that-- late '90s at least.
Yôko's AV-Channel profile combined with some video information give her statistics as standing 160cm, with measurements of 120(U-85; L-cup)-105-110, and weighs a mere 90 kg (198 lb), which seems low for a woman of her bulk. In the credits to this video, she is said to be 27 years of age.
The Content (Warning: Spoilers!)
This is a compact, 40-minute video with no story, simply a series of scenes. It starts out with a section of about 8 1/2 minutes which is a kind of a montage, alternating clips of Yôko walking through a neighborhood with clips of her sitting up in bed, nude. The nude scenes focus a lot on her stupendous chest, at the expense of showing her whole body-- her head, especially, is usually cut off in these images. But since they are such brief clips, and they alternate with views of the whole lady-- clothed-- walking, I didn't find this gimmick particularly annoying. This section is accompanied by a rather pleasant blues instrumental-- nothing extraordinary, but it gives the whole section a laid-back, enjoyable atmosphere.After some brief dialogue with her male partner, there follows an extended scene of about 20 minutes, during which he kisses, sucks and slobbers all over Ms. Koizumi's abundant body. She oohs and squeals in a most satisfactory manner-- though that could be a voice-double, since it doesn't quite sound like her usual voice.
Images of Koizumi's performances are sometimes surprisingly hardcore for an earlier performer-- unfogged pubic hair and genitalia can sometimes be seen. This might be an indication that her work was "underground", or that I am just wrong in my guess as to when she was performing, and she is more recent, under current, more lax Japanese censorship standards. In any case, we do get some brief flashes of unfogged pubic hair during this scene.
At about 25 minutes, there follows another strangely mixed section of two scenes intercut together. In one part we see in clip-form, Yôko-san begins rubbing her ginormous bosoms on her guy in the shower. This scene is juxtaposed with a scene of her stripping him in bed, and having sex.
The bed scene takes over, and Yôko gives him fellatio. The man's genitals are mercifully fogged here. Straight, but rather mundane and repetitive sex follows.
Once he has finished his job, the ending credits roll as our male stand-in falls asleep in satisfied exhaustion on one of Yôko's big, fluffy natural pillows.
The 40 minute main video finished, we get five additional minutes of previews of other Yôko Koizumi appearances in the Kyohô series. The above clip from Kyohô #8 (MR-128) looks especially intriguing. Big, old flouncy-bouncy Yôko runs and does a dive, giving her viewers the perfect way to use the Slow-motion function of their video player.
The Opinion
This is a basic, no-nonsense little soft-porn-video, no doubt from the earlier days of the artform. It gives us plenty of good looks at the model in bed, and walking around clothed. The nudity and sex are all pretty tame, but stimlating enough. The only unusual feature of this video are the two montage-like segments, with two different things going on at once, intercut into one. Overdone, this could be annoying, since this does not work as a plot device to enhance tension-- as intercutting is used in regular films-- because there is no plot. But it is not used too much, so it makes an interesting break from the monotony that threatens to overtake the more extended sex scenes. Besides the first six minutes, the music in the rest of the video isn't as enjoyable-- peppy, repetitive, bland pop which emphasizes the bland and repetitive nature of the sex scenes.Final Verdict
Model: Yôko Koizumi is a top-notch model for fans of Asian BBWs. She is very big-- especially for the early days in which she worked. She is almost too big and flabby for my taste, and a prominent caesarian scar does her no favors. But she is an enthusiastic and cheerful performer, which gives her a warm, motherly character adding to her physical charms.Video: High. Solidly and professionally made, without distracting camera tricks. It does nothing but the display of the model's anatomy-- which is plenty, and is appreciated-- but it also lacks anything extra that would make it of highest quality. Check out this little video if you've got a craving to look at a really big Asian girl in action, but not if you want anything more than just that.

Plump Idoll series
I finished my 2013 IMDB Pink film entry project this morning. This week I also spent a lot of time getting new images from cinepo-- probably my biggest source for Pink film poster images. This is a film poster-selling site, and they have a huge amount of Pink and Roman poster images at their site. For a long time, cinepo has apparently been inactive. A lot of their posters are poor-quality-- lots of glare and folds-- but since I'm trying to put together as complete a collection of Pink-type posters/images as I can, a low-quality image of a film's poster is better than none at all... This weekend I found out what they had been up to during these many months of inactivity: Upgrading their poster images. Much better images, without the glare, folds, pin holes, etc. So, I've spent most of my Pink work time this week doing the same-- replacing my own low-quality poster images with these better ones, and then replacing IMDb's links to those posters in their External Links sections to the films in question.
During this week's 'Net explorations, I came across a new series, "Plump Idoll" [sic], from Marrion Two DVDs, both directed by a person going by the name of "Tuna Ship", are scheduled to launch this series on January 31. The first isPLUMP IDOLL 001: Rin age 19 (MGRO-001).
The star of this one is 19-year-old "Rin", who is 143 cm tall and sports a 120cm O-cup bust.
Cute, chubby, busty and wearing glasses, Rin has just about everything I like! I hope we see more of this lovely new discovery.
The second DVD, PLUMP IDOLL 002: Ai age 20 (MGRO-002), featured 20-year-old "Ai" who stands 161cm tall, has a 90cm (F-cup) top, and a 97-cm bottom.
She's nowhere near as plump or busty an "Idoll" as is "Rin", but still cute as can be. Both these models are given semi-anonymous first-name only ID's, which is pretty common practice among series trying to pretend their models are amateurs. I wouldn't be surprised though if both these lovely ladies go on to, or are already known as JAV regulars. I will be following this series with interest anyway.

Fuko All-Nude: OAE-038
OAE-038 |
The Video
Since this week saw the creation of Fuko's IMDb page, thanks to your humble contributor, for this week's video review, let's take a close look at a DVD starring this icon of Japanese bustiness. Under consideration tonight is All Nude: Fuko (OAE-038, March 2009), which-- not coincidentally-- now also has its own IMDb listing.Fuko All Nude (in Bali) |
Fuko |
The Content (Warning: Spoilers!)
The work under consideration begins with a three-minute preview of Fuko in a field as the camera zooms around her, and images of up-coming nude scenes tease the viewer on. Next she comes into the bathroom to brush her teeth, and primp in front of a mirror. This is followed by Fuko in a slip with cuts to various degrees of slowly progressing boob-exposure. The next section has her in a beaded costume, again, gradually exposing more and more boobage through camera cuts.The bride |

The Opinion
JustMeMike's site was one of the few that used to review gravure DVDs. It seems to be down now, but I have his review saved. He gave this DVD his highest rating, due to the long-wanted non-hardcore nudity, but he still complained about Fuko's apparent joylessness in the production. He blamed this on Fuko herself, whom he felt was just going through the motions for a paycheck, and that she was having no fun modeling anymore. I sympathize with the unexpected lack of joy in this DVD, but I have to disagree on whose fault this is. Fuko shows in the outtakes that conclude the video that she's just as cute and giggly as we remember her from the gravure years. But when the camera starts rolling, laughing Fuko suddenly becomes stone-faced. I think that the bland countenance she shows throughout the video is not a reflection of her own mood, but a choice on the director's part. The video tries to give off a cooly erotic, sultry, and artsy look, and I think he wants Fuko to show a cool, smouldering look too. It is partly her fault that she isn't good enough an actress to pull that off. It's just not her character. Apparently trying to look maturely sexy, she just comes off as bored and distant. But I blame the director more, for not realizing he was working against Fuko's natural gifts, and trying to force her to do something she was incapable of.A joyless display of mamallian magnificence |
Final Verdict
Model: If you like big-boobed Asian girls, Fuko's your gal. Supernaturally busty, she is the Golden Standard: Highest rating. (She's sometimes categorized under BBW, and in that category she's pretty low, since she's all boob. No butt, slim legs, average face, kind of a pot-belly. Not really a BBW-admirer's cup of tea at all.)DVD: High, but not as high as it could have, should have been. The director gives us plenty of good photography, and a good survey of Fuko's landscape, but he seems to have intentionally restricted the bubbly joy which is usually a big part of the enjoyment of a Fuko performance

Miwa Sasaki, Fuko at IMDb & Tokyo Pochadol Collection
My 2013 Pink Film submission project slowed down a bit this week, while I took a detour to work on the filmography of a busty star instead. But we'll get to that later. First, let's start out this week's mid-week update by revisiting the lovely Miwa Sasaki, whose video-- TIA-002-- we reviewed on Sunday. Like many JAV idols, she also has a presence in the realm of soaplands. Soapland review site Golden Tops generously provides an interview and image gallery, along with a video clip in wmv format in conjunction with her appearance at Moe no Rinjin.
As I mentioned in the video review, Miwa-san's boobs and nipples are both unusual, and easily identifiable when seen in close-up. Here we get a look at Miwa-san's nipples so you can see what I was talking about.
In other news, I see that the über-busty, long-inactive/retired Fuko is making some moves back into the public eye. She opened a Twitter account in 2012, and in September 2013 she started a new blog, in which she prefers to go by the name of P-chan (a reference to her legendary P-cup boobs).
Judging from the images at the blog, along with the new name, she seems to be reverting back to the cleaner, more innocent gravure idol image she had before the rather slutty one she cultivated during her AV career. This is good news to me-- though I know some prefer slutty-- as long as she continues to show us some nudity, without necessarily going full hardcore again... Monday night I submitted entries to all of Fuko's gravure DVDs from 2007 & 2008 to IMDb, and listings for all entries were already up the very next day. It looks like IMDb has sped up its submission process considerably, since it used to take at least a week to get information accepted. So, show your support by visiting Fuko's brand-new IMDb listing at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6216021/. This first attempt at working on a video star bodes very well for my idea of getting IMDb entries for some of our favorite Japanese BBW actresses this year-- classics like Mariko Morikawa, and current legends like Tamaki Yasuoka and Sara Aikawa...
And finally, big news for any fan of Asian BBW-dom lucky enough to be in Tokyo. You should arrange to be at Lefkada, in Shinjuku on Sunday, January 26, because IZM is holding its Winter 2014 Pochadol Collection event then and there. Among the lovelies scheduled to be at the event are Sara Aikawa, Mashiro Aizawa, Masaki Amamiya, Yui Igarashi, Maya Kashiwagi, Iori Kuroki, Rei, Miyabi Hayama, Hiyoko Makino, Cocoa Misono, and Shokora Minami. Imagine all that gorgeous Asian BBW action under one roof! And tell 'em Dekkappai sent ya!

Miwa Sasaki; Pocha Princess #2: TIA-002
The Video
For this week's video review, we take a look at another video I've wanted to see for many years, and only recently have had a chance to view: Pocha pocha princess pretty gokujô: Sasaki Miwa (TIA-002), starring Miwa Sasaki and directed by Alto Joa. I had been following Miwa-san since at least February 2005, when she appeared at Tokyo Topless under the name Miki Goto. The present video was released in April 2005, and I started a stub article on it at Boobpedia in 2008 under the title Pocha Pocha Princess Pretty Finest! Miwa Sasaki. This is the second release in Radix / Tiara's Pocha Pocha Princess Pretty series. Other videos in this series we have previously reviewed are TIA-012 (Usagi Minagi; reviewed in May 2013, 1, 2, 3), TIA-020 (Sara Aikawa; July 2013), and TIA-501 (Marimo Momoi & Nano Rikukawa; July 2013). As I recall, all of these reviews were positive ones, and the Pocha pocha princess pretty series has, so far, been one of my favorites. Let's see if this one lives up to the previous standard.Miwa Sasaki demonstrates her stomach muscle control |
The Content (Warning: Spoilers!)
The video starts out with a long prelude. First, about eight minutes of Miwa-san in and out of a bikini. She rolls around on the floor, and her boobs flop out of during her gyrations. Then she poses standing in the bikini, and demonstrates some flexibility in her stomach muscles, which is also cute and exciting. Finally she bounces on a ball, and, of course, her boobs fly out of her bikini again.Miwa-san juggles her jugs |

Chocolate-covered boobs! |

The Opinion
Like the other videos in this series, the production is very well-done and tasteful, giving us many very good looks at the model, and pleasingly soft-hardcore sex scenes (nothing extreme and un-erotic). Miwa-san has a top-notch body to show off. Not fully BBW, but very busty, and very nice and chubby. She also has the kind of earthy, Japanese face that I've always loved-- not the ultra-pretty, school-girlish, artificial model-type face that seems to be held up for most admiration by Japanese media, but a good, simple, honest, earthy look. Both the camerawork and the music are competent, and non-obtrusive, playing subservient roles to showing off the lady's body to its best, which is-- as it should be-- the main feature of the production. Director Alto Joa is obviously talented, and does give us some interesting camera angles, but this is always only for the purpose of showing off Miwa's body to its best advantage-- not for the director to show off his skill. We do get plenty of body-part close-ups-- which are good in moderation. Unlike some videos, however, they don't become excessive, boring and annoying. Miwa herself remains the primary interest of the cameraman, and this his how a JAV should be, I think. No unnecessarily showy camera movements, no fixation on the male's body or his performance, no unending focusing on pixeled-out crotches, just give us us a long, loving look at a beautiful lady at play, and we'll be happy. And that's what this video gives us.Final Verdict
Model: Highest ratingVideo: Highest rating

OONIKU-016 & MAGURO-044
I've spent most of my online time this week submitting information on Pink films released in 2013 to IMDb. I'm up to August already, so should be done with the whole year in a little over one week. It takes me about a month to do yearly submissions for the '90s. This is less due to my more efficient translation/submission process, and more due to the fact that only about 40 Pink films were released last year, as opposed to over 100 each year during the '90s... Sadly, the Pink film has fallen on hard times, though I hope the increasing international recognition of the genre helps keep it alive... The big news from the New Years' announcement from IMDb is that, after several years of not allowing them, they have started accepting the addition of new film awards. This means that one of my goals for the year will be adding Pink Film Award data to film and biography entries. I submitted a request for them to add this award last Friday, but still haven't heard anything about its addition. But now let's move on to look at a couple new DVDs that have caught my eye recently.
First up is a new offering from Maguro: Dom-ashi kurabu complex koso saikô no eros (OONIKU-016). Due out on January 22, the official page at Maguro promises 240 minutes of big-butt, big-leg, big-boob big-girls engaging in domination in a girls' PE class. I don't see a lot of nudity on the DVD cover, but I do see plenty of husky Japanese girls in action, and that's always fun. In fact, judging from the cover images, it looks very similar to a previous DVD release, one whose name/code escapes me at the moment, but I will note it here when it comes to me... The cast includes Akina, Emi Fujikawa, Shizuko Fujiki, Rose Aoyama, Madoka, Chinatsu Yoshikawa, and Aina. Shizuko and Rose are two of our favorite models at this blog, but I don't see them on the cover. The presence of either one of them in a video makes it an item of interest, so I'll keep my eyes open for more information on this one.
Another item of high interest recently released by Maguro is Kyûkyoku no nikudan fechi matsuri: Okashitaku naru nikudan musume no samazamana nichijô seikatsu!! (MAGURO-044; June 2013), starring lovely 20-year-old chubby girl, Rin Fujisaki. This one appears to be story/scenario based. Among the roles in which Rin-chan is seen are as a cabaret worker stealing money from the club, and getting punish in return, getting a little sexual harassment in the locker room, as a teacher whose thick thighs attract attention at the boys' school at which she works, and as a chubby, mini-skirt-wearing gal who attracts unwanted attention while walking at night.
And a choice girl like Rin-chan offers us a vision of loveliness that must be enjoyed both from the front
and from the back... Oh, those thighs!!!
