More Miyabi: ICD-259

Several things have kept me from posting here for a while.
First: Real life.
Second: When I've been online, I've been working hard on finishing the Cowie World filmography, 1967 Pink film entries. I almost finished last night-- three more to go-- and then I will go on to... Cowie World filmography, 1968. Unfortunately-- or fortunately, for my free time-- the 1968 volume does not have as complete listings for the Pinkies, and no plots at all. That will cut down on the keyword hunting.
Third: I've been continuing with submitting Pink film entries for 2000, but this is going much slower than 1999, which I ripped through in record time. Still, I'm plugging away at it, and am into May. After that, 2001 and 2002 will be the end of this multi-year project.
Fourth: In the midst of this IMDb work, I found a treasure trove of about 500 excellent Nikkatsu Roman Porno poster, VHS and still images, so I had to take a day out to download and identify them. I already have poor-quality versions of most of these posters, so I will replace them in my blogs, and re-link the IMDb citations to them. I may do this before jumping into the 1968 project.

Fifth: I have finally made good on my threat to start writing plot outlines, synopses and reviews at IMDb. My first one was for Kôji Wakamatsu's Violence Without a Cause (1969) for which I wrote Plot Summary, Storyline and started a full Synopsis I followed that with my first review This turned out to be a learning experience: For one, I learned that linking doesn't work within reviews. For another, I learned that correcting any error in a review takes forever... literally so far, since I submitted corrections and re-writings last week, and it still hasn't gone through.
A couple days later I watched Hisayasu Satô's recent non-pink Love & Loathing & Lulu & Ayano (2010) (which deals with the AV industry anyway) and wrote a plot summary and review. Again, there is an obvious typo in this one ("infant terrible" instead of "enfant terrible"), but the IMDb system won't allow me to correct it. I'd have to delete it and re-submit, and I don't know if it's worth the effort. Anyway, these two tests have been kind of fun and relatively successful (I'll just have to check more thoroughly before posting from now on. Essentially, in my experience, you can post only once and not edit your review once it's out there.) I'd like to jump into this full time, soon, doing reviews and plot summaries for the BBW AVs as well.

 ...and finally, Sixth: All the Japanese BBW studios seem to be in a slump lately. I haven't had time to devote for a full DVD review-- which takes up a whole day of online time-- and nothing really exciting has been announced from the DVD studios for a while to inspire me to post here. BomBom Ojisan has a decent-looking one with  BOMX-080. But the others seem to be drifting to skinny girls... And then... out of the blue, IZM has made a great announcement! And this leads us to the subject of tonight's post:

The one, the only, the glamorous, the glorious Miyabi Hayama has blessed us with another post-retirement DVD. Titled Shinise ryokan no bakunyû okami (ICD-259), it has been announced so recently that IZM doesn't even have its sample video clip up on its site yet. (Once it does, it should be at this link.) There is a gallery of images here, which hints that this is going to be a great DVD!

And that's about all I have time for tonight-- I want to finish those last three Pink films of 1967 before turning in.

  1. Miyabi is always welcome.

    I've been looking closely at their Twitters, and it looks like Luu and Hoshima will be doing some sort of collaboration!! How long do you need to recover from knowing that?

    1. Hi Brandt-- Mika Hoshima & LUU together? That would be a real dream team! I'll have to investigate... Still very busy with IMDb/Pink, but I'll try to put together a post on that subject by mid-week!

    2. ...An argument?... well, if there's a possibility of a catfight, and someone gets some good pictures, it could turn out for the best after all!
      My Japanese isn't good enough to tell exactly what the kerfuffle is about, but it looks to me like Mika-chan borrowed a wedding dress from LUU-chan, and spilled coffee on it. LUU-chan was upset by the stain, and the lack of an explanation/apology. Mika-chan sounds apologetic now.
