The bakunyû & BBW Chihiro at Tumblr

AV-Channel banner for a special sale of The bakunyû series
This weekend I finished transferring the pre-1990 Pink Film Database over to its Tumblr equivalent. 1,808 posts so far, and that's just half of it, since I'm going to merge the newer Blogger Pink Film Archive into one Tumblr archive after I've adjusted the post years back 20 years so that the timeline between the two is consistent. Also, I dived back into the wonderful, obscure world of busty VHS titles, and added Akira Takatsuki's pioneering pre-Cinema Unit GAS big-bust series for VCA: The bakunyû (ザ・爆乳).
Morikawa Mariko in The bakunyû vol.1
I'd really like to add all these to IMDb, but it's hard to find exact release dates for these early videos. The main series seems to have run between 1994 to around 2001. The first release starred JAV BBW icon, Mariko Morikawa. Another release of hers about, the same time, has an almost identical title, but I can't tell if it is part of this series or not.
Yôko Koizumi in The bakunyû hôman musume #6
There are a few related sub-series, including the BBW-themed The bakunyû hôman musume series (ザ・爆乳豊満娘), three volumes of which star Yôko Koizumi. In general, I'm finding I like Tumblr more than Blogger, though I do see a couple things Blogger does better. The main thing is that Tumblr's searching function is almost non-existent. Unless you include the search term as a "tag", and then type exactly that term, you ain't going to find it in the blog. Even Google-searching doesn't seem to work. That's a major fault. I've started adding the video code as tags, but I'm afraid I might have to start including the titles too... Also, Tumblr supports HTML, but doesn't give you any kind of HTML editor/generator. I've been using Blogger's editor to get the HTML code, then either saving it as a template for later Tumblr posts, or just copying and tweaking it for my purposes at Tumblr. Cross-posting between this blog and its sister blog at Tumblr is easy with HTML too-- just copy & paste.
Chihiro, complete collection (as far as I have) at Tumblr
For this blog, probably the most significant of my Tumblr activities today is that I decided to take a tentative, preliminary start on that JAV actress database/blog that I've been thinking about for a awhile. This will have bio info and images of my favorite actresses/models, linked to their appropriate JAV archive/Pink archive tags for the filmographies I have compiled therein. IMDb linkage will ensue (I'm a bit behind on that, but always leave a blank marker to remind me of submissions that need to be made.)
Chihiro
The only entry currently at this new archive is the amazing, spectacular, and all too mysterious Chihiro, whom we discussed in May of last year. Ironically, because I am unaware of any videos or films in which she appeared, links to the other databases won't apply in her case, only a storage of images. But she is the reason that I decided to start the archive now. I spent a lot of time hunting around and finding images of her last year, but now those are all inaccessible on my old hard disk. I came across two big stashes of her images yesterday. Now I have arranged them in something like a logical procession, and want to save them all together in one place, just in case of more future hardware trouble. So, HERE IS CHIHIRO. Feast your eyes, ladies and gentlemen! She is GORGEOUS!

  1. Strange, yeah? Asians always seem to put weight on on the upper part of their bodies, and europeans/ americans the lower?
