IZM 242-244 & GT-06

Real life has been keeping me busy lately, so I didn't have time to get the IMDb synopsis/review for SND-01 done, which I had planned. I have kept up a slow, but steady submission of Pink films-- I'm into the end of August 1997. So tonight let's just take a quick look at some new DVD releases. These three IZM releases were all released yesterday, February 25, 2014.
IZM-242
First up is Kishikawa Hiromi no tsuya niku deriheru (ICD-242), starring MILF model Hiromi Kishikawa, whom I don't think we have visited at this blog yet. A video sample is available for download.
IZM-243
One of my favorites, the magnificent Masaki Amamiya returns to the spotlight with Attôteki man niku man'nyû (ICD-243).

You can download video sample from IZM.
ICD-244
Shôwa Furuyashiki no hônyû hitozuma (ICD-244), the last of IZM's trio of releases this month, stars Delicious. Delicious was one of the American models to travel to Japan with Sofia Rose for the Tokyo Pochadoll Collection event last month. Is it possible that this release indicates that there may be a DVD starring Sofia Rose in the works? We shall see later! But for now, check out out a video sample of Delicious' DVD.
GT-06
Finally, here is another new release of high interest, considering Sunday's review. GT-06, stars none other than Karen Toudou.

This appears to be all new material from Karen, and she looks terrific!

Karen Toudou, SND-01

The Video

Image advertising JAMS' "New Label" - the now legendary SND- series
I know, I know, I promised to review a more current DVD next, but my recent JAV submissions to IMDB put me in a mood to review some of those that now have IMDb listings, in order to add more hard data to them, through watching and researching the video, and to add more subjective content such as plot summaries and reviews. I decided to start with the first release of JAMS's epic SND- series, which was, as far as I knew until this review, also the first appearance of that vision of Japanese BBW loveliness, Karen Toudou. I note with some pleasure that-- quite unexpectedly-- the video's home page at JAMS has been added to the IMDb page. I include a lot of external links with these submissions just to prove that the video exists, and to back-up the information I give on it. I just assumed IMDb would not link to a porn site off the page though. But there it is!
Ultra boin! Akiba-kei chônyû joshi (2007; SND-01)
The video under consideration tonight is Ultra boin! Akiba-kei chônyû joshi, SND-01), which I translated at Boobpedia in April 2009 as Ultra Buxom Woman!! Akiba Super Tits Girl. JAMS released it on September 26, 2007. "Akiba-kei" or "Akibahara style" is supposed to imply nerdishness or otaku-hood, but I don't see how this fits into the theme of the video, unless it refers to the glasses the lovely Ms. Toudou wears throughout most of the action. I had previously thought this was her first video appearance, but it turns out she made at least one earlier, and she does not wear her trademark glasses in that one. So I suppose the first appearance of her "nerdish" glasses could be what the "Akiba-kei" in the title refers to.

The Content (Warning: Spoilers!)

SND-01 Title card
The video starts out with a list of credits which is fairly extensive for a Japanese AV. Most of the names, however, are only single-names, and ones I have never heard of, and will probably not be seen in other productions. I submitted the two that I recognized which already have filmographies at IMDb-- Shin-kichi (who is listed as one of the Assistant Directors), and Maguro (listed as one of the editors).
Title sequence
This opening credit sequence roles while Karen, in shorts, bicycles around a countryside building. (The above credit is for "Hair and Make-up: Nana"-- since I don't know of anything else "Nana" has done, I didn't add it to the IMDb listing. But I'll keep it in mind in case I see the name appear in further productions.) Substituting for the viewer, Timio's camera stares at Karen's boobs and butt as she pedals around. Queen's Bicycle Race/Fat Bottomed Girls would have been an appropriate accompaniment to this scene, instead of the bland, repetitive pop instrumental that we hear.
First scene: A tryst in the woods
The first scene starts with Karen marching out to the woods to give a hand job and fellatio to a small masked man she has tied to a tree. After playing with her boobs, she doffs her top and gives him paizuri. Once he has climaxed on her boobs, she gives the audience our first un-pixeled view of her beautiful, chubby chest, and the camera avails itself of some surveying of her splendid belly and thighs as well. With this first sex scene finished, at about 16 minutes into the video, Karen-- clothed again-- escorts her victim into the shed. He sits on the bicycle behind her while she pedals it and slaps his hands away as he gropes her ass. Once he gets to her boobs, she isn't so resistant, and we are treated to an extensive scene of boob-groping while on bicycle-- not something you see in every AV. This concludes the first 23 minutes of the video.
Laying out a feast
In another cabin in the countryside, two nearly nude gents are seated on a couch when Karen, in maid costume, enters the room. She takes out those big, fat titties of hers and lays them on the couch for the guys to nuzzle and suck on while masturbating, for the next thirteen minutes. In an odd touch, the two guys continue sucking and masturbating even after Karen pulls the two beauties back into her blouse.
Dueling droolers
Karen, still in maid costume, starts moving boxes around in another shed while a male co-worker sits watching her, literally drooling all over the floor. Karen finds this good enough reason to come over and smother him with her boobs, then perform fellatio and paizuri on the lucky guy until he cums in her mouth. She dribbles it out down her chin while he continues drooling, lying on his back on a crate. The point of interest in this twenty-minute segment seems to be the drool, and, though it's an interestingly novel touch, drool really doesn't hold much erotic attraction for this viewer.
The gentleman offers the lady a seat
The next ten minutes witness a guy outside, lying on his back with his face in a box being treated to the wonders of Karen's butt as she sits on his face. This instrument of butt enjoyment has been seen in earlier JAMS productions, such as the JMD- series in which Karen appeared the same month that this video was released.
Karen oils up - the most satisfying part of this sequence
The next twenty minute segment starts out nicely, but is mostly unsatisfactory. A guy crawls into a thin, metallic sleeping bag. Karen comes in and oils up herself extensively and thoroughly, and this is a pleasing sight to behold, even if she has taken off her glasses. She then crawls into the bag, face-first, to fellate the guy. All we get to see of Karen during this part is her ass-- which is ample... She then crawls in with him face-to-face, in a sex scene which would no doubt be very fun to participate in, but which isn't much to look at. It's just a squirming bag, and we have to imagine the pleasure being had inside.
Thick-thigh-fucking-- often enjoyed by your humble reviewer, but first I've seen in a video
We now go into another shed where Karen takes one of the guys onto a couch and treats him to some boob-sucking. After about six minutes they move to a mat where Karen gets on top and treats him to some thigh/leg-fucking, a particular favorite activity of mine, which I don't think I've never seen in a video before. This goes on for quite a while. It's not much fun to watch, but with a fat-legged girl it is a lot of fun to experience. After about 10 minutes, she takes the lad out on the doorstep where she finishes him off with a standing hand-job.
Karen enjoying a brief time out of the driver's seat
In all the sex in the video until now, Karen has been the instigator, and in control of the situation. She starts out as the passive partner in the next sequence. She is back in her maid costume, tidying up a room, when an assailant in a black body stocking attacks her, throws her into bed and has his way with her. This is the first straight sex scene in the video. Unfortunately, though the attacker disrobes, Karen stays mostly clothed, even keeping her boots on. Since we get to see so little of Karen in this section-- only her boobs a little, and her butt sometimes-- this twenty-minute is much less enjoyable than it could have been. At the end of this part, the guy goes to the other side of the room to sit in a chair and masturbate.
Karen takes charge again!
A cut brings us back to the same room with Karen now taking charge. She is a little more out of that maid costume, and in mid-fellatio/paizuri on the chap. She throws him onto the bed, mounts him and the action picks up with her in cow-girl mode. After about ten minutes he climaxes again, and then Karen prolongs the session by resuming fellatio. The camera cuts to an interesting point-of-view outside the cabin, peeping in through a window as Karen again jumps on top of the guy. This ends the lengthy sex session, with the sex still in progress, seemingly never-enging.
Next we're back to the face-sitting device, this time with the man wearing a long-nosed tengu mask, which Karen mounts while playing with the guy's dick, which is also sticking out through a hole in another box. Karen reverses position, mounts the dick, then finishes him off with a hand-job.
Karen's model session
The video concludes with about seven minutes of Karen primping and posing, clothed in her bicycle-riding outfit, outside the building. Karen's dimensions at this beginning stage of her career are given on the video cover as 126(L-cup)-78-112 (50-31-44"), 159cm (5'2") tall, weighing 78kg (172lb), with a 24cm shoe size. 
Karen without her glasses in the earlier JMD-05
After the video proper has concluded, comes previews of JMD-05 and JMD-02. We took a look at the cover of JMD-05 (Ganki-mamire: Bakujiri onna niku jigoku (顔騎まみれ ~爆尻女肉地獄~ - "Smothering Face-Sitting: Huge-Assed Woman-Flesh from Hell") in a post back in December 2012. It features Karen along with a few other girls. This video appears to focus on butt fetishism and face-sitting, but several lovely glimpses of the young Karen can also be seen. The JAMS page gives the release month for this video as September 2007-- the same month as SND-01, and the Arzon listing gives the release date as August 3, 2007. Amazon further muddies the water with a December 1, 2007 release date. I had previously assumed SND-01 was Karen's first video, so this discovery leads to some necessary re-writing of the history books, as well as bumping that video to a higher position on the list of priorities for a future video review.

The Opinion

This video is of highest quality for a JAV, and director Timio Juvorenup shows in this one why he has become one of the most prolific in the Japanese BBW genre. He is known mainly as a big-butt specialist, being the creative force behind HypderEdge's "Ketsu-gaku" (Butt-study) blog, and starting his own Dekajiri ("Huge butt") label in 2010-- but he gives the viewer plenty of looks at Karen's other attributes as well. Timio-san is clearly a man who loves his work, and his camera-work shows that he shares our main subject of interest in this video: Karen Toudou.

But beyond fulfilling the basic requirement of showing off his model to her best, Timio-san also infuses this one video with more interesting touches than probably all the others JAVs I have reviewed up till now. These little touches do not interfere with the main action, they just add a little flavor to it. The lack of this kind of thing is what I complain about in more run-of-the-mill videos. For example, like most JAVs, this one is basically, at its heart, just a bunch of unrelated sex scenes. Yet these scenes are given some unity and context by countryside setting-- Karen walking from one shed to another, or going out in the woods for another encounter. There is not the slightest character development either, of course, yet the nameless bodies having sex are still given a relationship with the setting and the costuming involved.
Some of the unique touches-- the thigh-fucking scene for example-- are good and interesting experiments, but don't quite work on video. As I mentioned, this is one thing I really love about fat-legged girls-- that rubbing between the thighs for a while before the main action. It is tremendous fun to experience, but not very much to watch. The metallic sleeping bag scene also-- this kind of thing is a lot of fun with a girl, but watching it, all you see is a squirming bag. It's not very cinematically interesting. The boob-groping while on bicycle scene, on the other hand, could have been interesting to watch, but it is filmed in a dark warehouse, and the lighting makes it much less intriguing than it should have been. The drooling scene, on the other hand-- in which a co-worker drools while watching Karen's extraordinary body, and then she drools back on him-- might have been an interesting concept on the written page, but it's not very erotic to watch.
The separate sex sequences are not just joined by straight cuts, they are punctuated with scenes of the shacks outside, giving the camera the POV of a voyeur, which is an interesting touch in itself, and also often showing us some rain, which is soothing, and also links up thematically with wetness/sex. While this doesn't provide a plot-- there is no plot, and a plot would have interfered with the point of this sex video anyway-- this does give character to the sexual activity, and provides the video with a rhythm. We know when each section starts and ends, yet they are buffered with brief connecting interludes. And these are very brief, just a few seconds, so they never become distracting.
In this video, Karen-san, naturally, is younger and not as full-figured as she became later in her career, but she's still a very satisfactory eyeful for any fan of the Asian BBW. How many butts in the history of Japanese AV can compare with the one we see above? Not just for size, but for pure, aesthetically-pleasing shapeliness?
My only real complaint about this video is that there is surprisingly little full nudity for a modern-day JAV. Karen remains at least partially clothed-- sometimes nearly fully-clothed-- throughout. True, she is an absolutely beautiful girl, and she looks gorgeous in clothing or out, and some of those costumes-- the busty maid costume particularly-- do actually emphasize her loveliness... but still... you know... Come on, Timio-san! We want to see the whole package a little more!

Final Verdict

Video: Highest quality. Expertly shows us what we want to see: Karen, plus provides several unique touches to hold the JAV aficionado's interest.
Model: The highest. Karen Toudou is in the highest level of Japanese BBW beauty, on a par, in my eye, only with very best: Tamaki Yasuoka, Minagi Usagi.
Rating: At the IMDb page, I give this video a respectable eight stars out of ten, and I encourage any readers of this review who have also seen the video to click their own rating to this video's IMDb page. Since it is my recent IMDb work which inspired me to review this video, I will use this post as an experimental first step in the next stage of my JAV work at IMDb. I will boil down the main points of this post to make a plot description and user review for the IMDb page, and will report on the results of that on Wednesday night.

JAMS at IMDb!

In the half-week since my last report, I have continued the first spark of enthusiasm over the BBW AV submissions to IMDb. I submitted data to all the JAMS DVDs I had already translated for Boobpedia. As a result of these DVD entries, the Japanese BBW/Busty ladies who now have new IMDb entries are:

Akane Sakuraba
Arisa Kurono
Statuesque Ayaka Yuzuki now graces IMDb's pages
Ayaka Yuzuki
Chiharu Nakasaki
Eiko Sakurada
Karen Tôdô
Mitsumi Nanao
Momoka Fukuyama
Momoka Tsukihara
Nao Kudô
Neiro Suzuka
Noa Serizawa at IMDb
Noa Serizawa
Nowa Ômori
Rei Tachibana
Reimi Fujinomiya
Riria Misaki
Everybody's favorite big mama, Tamaki Yasuoka, now at IMDb!
Tamaki Yasuoka
Yû Aizawa
Yûki Manaka
Yuma Mizushima
Yume Sazanami
Yurie Komiya
Reiko Nakamori, star of JAV and Pink film
One good thing about the JAMS series was that a couple girls already had entries at IMDb, and are therefore not just of BBW-AV specialist interest. And I do have fewer reservations about entering these Japanese adult videos into IMDb, because the Japanese adult video industry is far more mainstream than the American. Many adult video personnel also work in the softcore, and respectable, Pink film genre, and many Pink film personnel work in purely mainstream cinema-- Academy Award-winner Yôjirô Takita for one. Besides her JAMS work, Reiko Nakamori, for example, also appeared in director Daisuke Gotô's Chikan densha: Yure nureru sakuragai (2011) and Yutaka Ikejima's Hitozuma shôfu: Motto hazuka shimete (2012). Gotô and Ikejima are both major Pink film directors. So IMDb now has Reiko's proud early career working at JAMS with BBW-specialist directors Timio Juvorenup and Magllow in Kyûin fera-buster: Nikkan vacuum girl (2009) and Boin dôjô 2: chônyû bosei-hen (2009; with Tamaki Yasuoka). Ai Miyazaki and Reika Shinohara also already had a pages before I added their JAMS work.
Minagi Usagi, soon to have an IMDb page?
IZM and JAMS were probably the two main series that I did at Boobpedia, and so already had the credits translated and ready to go. I did a lot of other series, but not with so many big-name big girls, so they're probably the two most appropriate for IMDb. I might go on to the Pocha Pocha Princess Pretty series next, doing just the videos with major BBW stars, like Minagi Usagi. My next step in this AV project will be to make complete filmographies for the girls who interest me most. Tamaki Yasuoka, Karen Tôdô and Minagi Usagi will probably be my main subjects, then I'll probably concentrate more on Pink films again. I have been submitting as much personal data as I can, but IMDb has only been accepting bogs/sites (which is good), and height-- which isn't all that interesting. I learned years ago that they won't accept measurements, and now they are very reluctant even to take birthdays. One other aspect to this AV project is synopses and reviews. When I review a video here, I will probably boil it down and reword it to add to IMDb.

I was pleased at all the interest generated here by the mention of Sofia Rose on Sunday, since I think she's gorgeous. I have regained contact with her, and she's excited about her new page at IMDb. I'm preparing a list of interview questions for her about her career since last we spoke-- to update her Boobpedia page-- and on her experiences with IZM, the IZM girls, and Japan, to report on here at this blog.

IZM at IMDb!

I hope I'll be forgiven for skipping this week's video review. I'm all on fire with a new IMDb project, and don't want to take time out from it and lose my momentum. After starting an IMDb page for Sofia Rose (which now has links to her official site), by creating a page for her 2007 IZM DVD, I decided to take the first dive in my plan to start IMDb pages this year for some of our favorite Japanese BBWs. I worked through the entire IZM filmography that I had submitted to Boobpedia-- that is, all the busty releases from ICD-01 to ICD-173 (December 2005 - January 2012). In the process of entering these DVDs, pages were started for the major, BBW actresses who starred in them. I haven't been starting pages for ALL the IZM releases, just those of interest to myself and followers of this blog. Strangely enough, the pages for the actresses have been popping up fast, but the DVD releases have been slower. Usually it's the other way around at IMDb-- the film gets accepted quickly, but they're slow to start pages for people. Among the big, beautiful Japanese beauties who have pages started for them in the last few days were:
Now at IMDb: Airi Ai
Airi Ai
Alice Komuro
Chii Asahina
Erika
Giant Maho
Hiromi Kishikawa
Hiyoko Makino
Iori Kuroki
Jun Morikawa
Juri Morozuki
Juria Yuki
Now gracing IMDb: Konata Yûsei
Konata Yûsei
Koron Kanzaki
Kurumi Toyoda
Kyôko Kusanagi
Love Fujishiro
Madam Keiko
Maika Sakura
Marimo Momoi
Maron Maju
Masae Ômori
Masaki Amamiya
Mei Kayama
Miyabi Hayama
Moe Asakura
Momoka Hayama
Nano Rikukawa
Naoko Ôsako
Purin Momoaya
Ran Yamagishi
Reo Sakuragi
Riria Misaki now at IMDb!
Riria Misaki
Rui Ôhashi
Ruki Shibuya
Saki Rukawa
Sakura Toyohara
Satsuki Anzai
Serina
Shizuka Kyôno
Shôko Ishida
Shokora Minami
Yôka Mizushima
Yuria Kizuki
Yû Hazawa
Yui Igarashi
Yuzu Kawai
And the directors Ryudai and Magi. Also, of course, IZM itself has a page started.
Iori Kuroki's IMDb page, already substantial
You'll notice some of these pages already have some basic actress information-- links to homepages/blogs, and Iori Kuroki even has her height. Though I am amazed at how fast IMDb took these submissions-- it used to take about a week to get a new name on the site-- unfortunately, they remain very reluctant to take personal information. Birth/death days even with good sources are often rejected.

It was a lot of work, but since I had already collected and translated all the info for Boobpedia, it went a lot faster than it would have otherwise. I should update the IZM filmography at Boobpedia, but first I'll do a few other series: Maguro, JAMS, etc.

Karen Toudou: First in the second part of this project
What's exciting about this stage of my IMDb inputting hobby is that the IMDb is a good, reliable, mainstream source for information on the entertainment industry, so now the names of these rather niche-interest Japanese BBW beauties are available to a wider audience, and, hopefully, somewhat immortalized by being part of a major site. Eventually I'd like to put up some reviews on the DVDs, and some mini-biographies for the girls at IMDb. My only regret is that I haven't yet got to some of my favorite non-IZM babes yet. Tomorrow I plan on starting on JAMS, so you're coming up next, Tamaki Yasuoka, Yuuki Manaka, and Karen Toudou (already started her!)!!!

BBWs Without Borders / Fuko's Birthday!

My IMDb work has continued slowly but steadily this week. I've finished submitting Pink films to the end of April 1997, and translating credits into July. So let's dive right into the week's update on Japanese BBW activities!
Tokyo Pochadol Collection event
This entry from the IZM blog indicates that the Tokyo Pochadol Collection, which we announced in a post in January, had some surprise personnel changes, and turned out to be an international gathering of BBWs. Besides the Japanese lovelies announced on the poster above, there was a group of American models present at the event.
Sofia Rose
The American ladies included Sofia Rose, an absolutely gorgeous American model of Latina/American descent whom I had the pleasure of interviewing through online chat and email when I put together her article at Boobpedia. (n.b. Feb 14, 2014 - I was able to start an IMDb page for Sofia today.) At the time I was in contact with her, she was reluctant to do hardcore scenes, but now she has begun working in that genre. I found her interviewing and chatting with her to be a very fun and interesting experience.
Sofia Rose (L) and Masaki Amamiya (R)
Here we see Sofia with blog favorite Masaki Amamiya. Though this was Sofia's first trip to Japan, she is one of the few non-Japanese models to have starred in an IZM release (ICD-50). During our chats, she told me that the Japanese crew had traveled to America to film her for the DVD. I think we're still friends, so I might email her later to get her view on this event for this blog... Besides-- did I mention?-- she is absolutely gorgeous! Visit her homepage, and tell her Dekkappai sent ya!
Left-to-right: Masaki Amamiya, Sofia Rose, Shokora Minami, Delicious, Rei, Zik & Nicole
The other two American models to attend the even were "Delicious"-- who also appeared for IZM, in ICD-051, and "Nicole". Above we see some of the attendees of the event.

Everybody's favorite Japanese BBW, Miyabi Hayama, noted in this post at her blog the surprise arrival of these three American BBWs. Above Left we see Sofia, Miyabi and Masaki, and above Right, Miyabi nestled in Sofia's abundance. (Blogspot's jim-dandy new interface prevents me putting captions on the images without messing up the format.)

Hiyoko Makino, Erika, Ren Morisaki and Sara Aikawa
Everybody's other favorite big, big BBW girl, IZM's Erika posted some of her own pictures at her own blog in this post of January 28, 2014, such as the group shot above.
Sofia Rose(L) and Erika(R)
In another photo from Erika's blog, above, we see that though she seems to be so physically overpowering in her videos, she is quite a bit shorter than Sofia Rose.
From Sara Aikawa's blog
Masaki-san covered the event at her blog, as did  the lovely Sara Aikawa at her own blog. Here we see Sara posing with the American gals. The IZM site says that Sara-chan is doing well with the English language, which is an encouraging sign for her English-speaking fans... But there's bad news too...
Sara Aikawa to retire?
The bad news... the AWFUL... TERRIBLE news... to come out of this story also concerns our beloved big-booty beauty, Sara Aikawa. If I follow IZM correctly, she plans to announce her retirement soon. The review of her career I did in in June 2012 is one of the all-time most popular posts at this blog. I will have to do a follow-up post to cover her career since then. But for now, I will pause here for a respectful period of mourning from fans of this legendary Japanese BBW.
Happy Birthday, FUKO!!!
But before completely calling it a night, we should all first say Happy Birthday to super-bosomy Fuko, whose Birthday was on Monday.

Mariko Morikawa: TFC-4009

As far as video reviews go, we've been on a bit of a nostalgic run lately, looking at videos released decades ago... Last week we looked at the last video in the career of Kimiko Matsuzaka, and the week before that we watched a video from Yôko Koizumi. But before moving on to more recent releases-- next week, maybe-- tonight let's take one more look back at the origins of the BBW/busty boom in JAV that we enjoy so much today. I present for your enjoyment tonight, the actress whom I consider, after Kimiko, the next major step in the appreciation of big-boobery, and BBW in Japanese erotic entertainment: The delectable, the delicious, one, the only Miss Mariko Morikawa!

The Video

TFC-4009
We mentioned tonight's video during a review of the career of Mariko in a post back in March 2013. This is the sixth release in The Bomber Girl series: The Bomber Girl Vol. 6: Mariko Morikawa 124cm 80-Q (ザ・爆乳vol.6 森川まりこ - The bakunyû vol. 6 Morikawa Mariko; VCA / D-Cup; TFC-4009). Curiously, I see images of scenes on the video cover which are not in the video I will be reviewing tonight. The bound-boobs image, and the front cover image, for example. But the title-card screenshot from the video-- seen below-- as well as scenes in the video which are on the cover indicate that this is the correct video cover.
The video's title card
The few sites I've seen that list this video (currently there are none) attribute the directing to Japanese big-boob pioneer, Akira Tatsuki. But now that I've seen the video itself, the closing credits name Shinobu Okada (岡田忍)-- a name unknown to me-- as the director. Even Japanese Wikipedia, in its filmography of Mariko, lists the release date of this video as unknown, but by situating it within the series, I would guess that it was released in late 1995 or early 1996. This video, more than Mariko's other videos, has been harvested for clips at video sites like Xhamster many times, usually unidentified except, sometimes, for Mariko's name.

The Content (Warning: Spoilers!)

She's got LEGS!
The video starts with a brief pre-title sequence, in which the camera takes a loving survey of Mariko's impressive physique. Her boobs, of course, are her most renowned feature-- and we'll take several looks at them-- but first, let's pause to admire one of Mariko's lesser-praised attributes: Get a load of these thighs! For an AV star of that time, Mariko was incredibly chubby, and legs like that, which I absolutely love, were nowhere to be seen in JAV in the mid '90s. I remember reading sarcastic comments from regular JAV fans at the time, mocking her as being too fat to be an attractive AV idol, and just getting by on her boobs. It's really after Mariko though that appreciation of the BBW started coming into the JAV.
The main attraction in a Mariko Morikawa video
Those gorgeous thighs having been sufficiently noted, here is what comes to the fans' minds with they hear the name "Mariko Morikawa". And so, let us proceed with the review...
Weighty matter are under discussion
Time-wise, probably the majority of this video is taken up with Mariko seated, drinking orange juice and talking to her interviewer. I didn't listen to much of it, but, as is traditional with the AV interview, the first subject of discussion seems to be Mariko's body. Mariko says that the weight of her boobs is 1.8kg (4lbs) a piece, or 3.6kg (8lbs) for the pair.
Pretty, busty Mariko poses for a photo-shoot
Two brief clips are inter-cut with the first interview segment, which, at ten minutes, is the longest. The first one shows her posing for a photo-shoot. Images of this shoot, such as the one seen above, could be found in Mariko's magazine appearances in the mid '90s.
More jump-roping, please!
The second brief scene inter-cut into the first interview shows Mariko jumping-rope with her boobs exposed. I wish both these brief, inter-cut scenes-- especially the jump-roping-- had gone on much longer. Slow-motion, and total nudity could have made the jump-roping clip into a real classic. As it is, it's just a glimpse of what might have been.
Her boobs are pixeled out throughout the paizuri scene, but here's a nice look at Mariko's butt
The first extended nude scene consists of a series of paizuri variations-- standing, sitting, lying down, Mariko on top, Mariko on bottom... This scene, like most paizuri scenes, is unsatisfying to me because it is heavily pixeled-out/fogged to hide the man's genitalia. Consequently, we never get a real view of Mariko's boobs-- the pixeling interferes with a view of them. This is the first scene from the video that I remember finding online. After this, we return for another chat with Mariko for about three minutes. She's a cute girl, with a sexy persona, inviting lips, and chubby cheeks, so it is not entirely a waste of video to see her just talking.
My favorite scene begins...
The next sequence is one I have seen many times online, such as this clip of it at Xhamster. It is one of my all-time favorite Mariko clips. Mariko is oiled up, completely nude, and squirming around and masturbating on a slick mat for about seven minutes.
Mariko enjoys herself
This is a highly arousing scene, with Mariko's voluptuousness well on display and incredibly lovely to behold. The only draw-back is that, because she is entirely nude, those pesky pixels and fogging interfere with a full view of the lady. I don't really mind the fogging so much when it hides the man, but it is annoying when it's hiding the actress.
Milky liquid descends on Mariko
Later on, some milkish liquid is poured on Mariko, which, visually, serves at least three functions. First, it's just highly erotic watching her flop around in that liquid. Second, it shows us a big-boobed lady with milk, emphasizing her mamallian properties. Third, it serves as a visual symbol for the cum Mariko's enthusiastic male audience would like to spew all over her...
Disrobing for some boob-massage
After another couple minutes of interviews, we come upon the second sequence that is sometimes found online: Mariko massaging a guy. Mariko looks absolutely gorgeous in this ten-minute section, but, unfortunately, she spends most of the time giving the guy a hand-job and playing with his asshole. This is unappealing, and ruins an otherwise great look at Mariko in action.
Mariko demonstrates her preferred size in a gentleman friend
In the next two-minute interview, the interviewer quizzes Mariko on her opinion of penises and what size she likes. Not too big, she says, and first estimates 19cm (7 1/2"), but the interviewer haggles her down to 13cm (5"), to which she agrees. One wonders whether there is an agenda for personal gain behind the interviewer's bargaining her down.
Mariko bound & blindfolded
The next sequence can also be found in clip form online, like here, at Xhamster. Mariko is tied and blindfolded in bed while a guy massages and sucks her boobs. He cuts her mesh blouse and plays with her boobs, which are seen in close-up, revealing their post-pregnancy look. He next pulls out a dildo and works on her boobs and pussy with it.
Working on Mariko from behind
He works on her more once she is untied. He massages her boobs from behind, and then works more on her pussy. Lots of pixel-fogging is involved here. Mariko then fellates him first through his underpants, and then in the raw.
Cowgirl Mariko on the bucking bronco!
This sequence concludes with some straight sex in a few positions. Mariko gives us lots of good boob-bouncing while on her back. She gets on top at one point and really gives a spectacular display of wild bouncing boob flinging. This brief segment is top-notch.
Mariko-san says bye-bye until next time!
The video ends with a cute little gimmick in which we are shown three close-up images of cleavage, and Mariko challenges us to guess which one is her boob cleavage. The other two are her butt crack, and her male partner's butt crack. I won't spoil your fun by giving away the answer. Take the quiz yourself!

The Opinion

Mariko takes out the subject under discussion
This is a very well-filmed, basic, old-fashioned Japanese porno video. It is a bit talky, with a solid ten minutes taken up at the beginning in which Mariko just sits at a table, in her bathrobe, talking to the cameraman. Looking at it today, this is probably the major flaw in the video. But you have to remember, that the very early AVs-- in the '80s-- were thirty minutes, with almost no nudity, mostly just stories, acting, and talking with very short nude/sex scenes. So, in the context of its time, this one-hour video actually has plenty of nudity going for it. And Mariko is a very cute, chubby little lady. She smiles and laughs a lot, seems to be fairly bright, and to be enjoying herself. Once in a while during the interviews, she does take out a boob or two to display them when they come up in the conversation.
What we want to see in a Mariko Morikawa video
The camera work is fine, giving us many, many gorgeous looks at Mariko, zoom-ins on body parts just long enough to let us stare for a while at what we want to see, yet not so long that it becomes annoying. There is no story per se. I didn't listen to the interview, which pops up throughout the video, but it's possible that these talks do provide a narrative/introduction to the sex scenes. In any case, I just watched the video for its eye-candy, a point of view I assume most viewers will take.
Mariko Morikawa, legend of early JAV BBW-dom
The only scene that I found disappointing in this video was the paizuri scene, because of the pixels blocking out Mariko's boobs. Since we can't see her face or anything else, what is there left to look at? The scene where Mariko massages the guy, playing with his asshole, also, had some drawbacks to it, but we do get to see all of Mariko in that one. Regardless, Mariko is a very sexy little lady, and it's arousing just to see her in action-- even if she is not all-exposed.

Final Verdict

Model: Highest rating. It's Mariko Morikawa, that says it all. Short and cute, chubby, incredibly busty, sexy, enthusiastic... Mariko-san is the classic early Japanese BBW model.

Video: Highest rating. The video may be a little talky by today's standards, but it has more than enough visual stimulation to keep any Asian BBW-admirer satisfied. The scene of Mariko squirming around on the mat, alone, is well worth the price of admission. I consider this video to be a JAV BBW/busty classic, and an essential item in the collection of any fan who is interested in the history of the genre. Check it out!
