We'll Miss You, Miyabi!

Big news has hit the Boob-iverse: Miyabi Hayama's impending retirement. The loss of this gorgeous Asian BBW inspires a pause for reflection on her career. She first came to my attention with her Tokyo Topless debut some time before March 2004. At right we see the girlish young Miyabi of that era in her second appearance already sporting an impressive 129.5(96K)-86-98 figure. Spectacular as she already was, she was to climb the heights over the next decade, attaining her currently reported 144(M)-86-118.


In this snapshot from from her blog at the left we see how stunning she looks in glasses, always the perfect addition to Asian charms, I think, especially with as lovely a face as Miyabi's.








She first donned her glasses for Tokyo Topless about March 2005, in her eighth appearance for the site, seen at right. By this time her figure was listed as 141(98L)-88-110.












She was never very active on DVD, apparently, but more of a shop girl, appearing at Moe no rinjin (萌えの隣人). Most of her DVDs were made with IZM, though she made a memorable appearance with Hana Uehara in November 2009 at Akira Takatsuki's Cinema Unit GAS. Her first known (to me) starring DVD was IZM's January 2008 release, Full-Breasted Soaked Ginger, Raping Men with the Pressure of Breasts! Miyabi Hayama (ICD-55), stills from which are at the left.






Here she is, retiring at the height of her career, in her most recent appearance at Tokyo Topless. Her twenty appearances make her one of the site's most frequent models.














And finally, here she is in what is reported to be her last DVD, IZM's January 2012 release Wife with a 144-cm Bust (ICD-173).
I don't know the reason for her retirement, but I wonder if the title/theme of this final DVD drops a hint that some lucky bastard landed her! But, whatever the reason, farewell Miyabi, you will be missed! Thanks for the mammaries, and best of luck in your future!


For the evening's entertainment I once again turned to the trusty Mill Creek 50 Mystery box. Testing my luck, I picked a film at random: Too Late for Tears (1949) and it turned out to be another fascinating little B-movie. Jean Gillie in Decoy (1946) is supposedly the fatal-est of femmes fatale, but-- nothing against Gillie-- I think Lizabeth Scott in this film is a close second-- as vicious a femme fatale as they come. Add the always charmingly slimy Dan Duryea into the mix, a plot with all the fatalism, seediness and snappy/cheesy dialogue of best noir and you've got another B-movie winner. Eight out of Ten stars.

The Great Wikipedia Blackout! or One Last Rant to Rule them All

Gentlemen, in sympathy with Wikipedia's blackout protest, I'll join in and bring the Web to its knees by strangulating the flow of information on Japanese softcore porn to IMDb for a day. Also I'll take a break from my Pink film archive work. It'll give me a chance to discuss a few things.

First, I find it somewhat ironic that Wikipedians claim sympathy with Google's message, "Please don't censor the Web", yet in their last few hours before blackout, they deleted (censored) an article in my realm of study: The award-winning, big-budget, independently-reviewed, 5th-anniversary DVD from Moodyz, A Queendom of the Eros. It meets their own "notability" criteria on several counts, but it's not notable because a few snobs choose to ignore their own rules and say it's not notable because, you know, we say it's not notable. So now it is gone!
[I thump my fist on my desk causing papers to fly about the room. I press the intercom.]


Oh, Miss Assssatoh! Could you step in here please. I seem to have inadvertendly dropped some paper... again...

Please don't mind my secretary, Miss Asato of Max-Body, while she cleans up a bit, gentlemen.

Now, my old Wikipedia cohort in Japanese erotic entertainment, Cherryblossom1982 started the A Queendom of the Eros article. I hope he notices that the more reliable, more honest IMDb now has one on it. Like anyone actually interested in contributing information, rather than playing power games, he too is long gone from Wikipedia.




Please step over to the piano, Miss Asato, while I finish this lecture. Feel free to tinkle a bit on the ivories a bit if the muse calls.

Gentlemen. Only the evilest people I have ever encountered on the Internet thrive at Wikipedia. Whether the Wikipedia system makes people this way, or whether it attracts those who are already warped, I don't know. Anyone who comes to honestly contribute sourced information leaves, while those who come to enforce their opinions stay. Those who remain are only there to save Wikipedia from itself, because they believe only they can do it. It is a haven for self-important, manipulative frauds with the narrowest, most self-deluded minds, the least tolerance of others, of humor and the least capacity for self-reflection. Wikipedia, which was founded on populist ideas like freedom of information has been overrun by lazy, elitist snobs and moralists of the cheapest order: Those who prop up their own shabby egos by sneering at the less "refined".


Gentlemen please! please look this way when I am speaking. There is no need to monitor Ms. Asato so carefully. She is quite capable of finishing her work without your attention, I assure you.

Ahem. Where was I? Oh yes. Even editors whom I once considered rational began following crackpot Wiki-cults like "Notability", either because they eventually became brainwashed, or they just got tired of fighting the nonsense. "Notability" has so taken over Wiki-think that we are now told that only information directly related to a subject's claim for "notability" belongs in a biography. Family, ancestry, ethnic background are not-- or should not be-- a part of a person's biography at Wikipedia. Wikipedia tells us that a biography is not be about a person's life, it is about a person's "notability". Just to check that I wasn't insane (one should check this occasionally), I picked up about a dozen actual biographies at random. You know, biographies... books about people's lives. Every one of them started out with family background and ancestry. Some even charted family trees-- Cruft! Some-- Good Gosh!-- even covered such Wiki-taboo subjects as religion and sexuality. You know, people's lives... So, yes, the Wikipedia community is insane.


Wait over there for a moment please, Miss Asato, while I change gears.

As I mentioned in my October farewell message here, I have changed gears in my online activity, reducing Wiki-type-work. I've been working on the Pink film archive(s) and at IMDb. I finished starting the first half-- uploading all my images of posters to films from 1990 to the present-- and have made a pretty good dent on the second half-- the pre-1990 films. Working backwards from 1990, I am now at the start of 1975. '75 seems to be a hurdle, since this year and the ones before it have several beautiful, large, poster images which will need a lot of touching-up before they're presentable-- watermarks removed, etc. (The more recent years have some pretty messy images too, but they're too small to bother cleaning unless a real article is to be started.) This, plus the fact that I've worked on this project non-stop for... what?... four months now? makes me feel like it's time for a little breather before making the final push. I'm running out of steam.


OK, you can wait over on the left now, Ms. Asato.

At IMDb I finished working on Sachi Hamano's filmography. The Grand Dame of Pink now has 159 films to her credit. (She's supposedly directed over 300, but that is all I could find listed in the main Japanese sources.) Now I've started adding/working on every Pink film released in a particular year. I finished 2011 and am now at 2010. Surprisingly, the 2010 films are already in IMDb. I've been adding role names and crew members, and linking to the posters in my Pink film archive.

Ah, Ms. Asato, I think a paper flew behind that couch there-- would you see if you can reach it? For the little work I did at IMDb last year, I received a "Happy New Year" note from Col Needham, General Mananger and co-founder of IMDb, with thanks and encouragement to contribute more. It was a form-letter email, of course, but still, far better than the treatment contributors receive at Wikipedia. Anything you contribute is immediate target for deletion, and has to be guarded and fought for. When on Jimbo Wales' talkpage I mentioned my over 600 article contributions, not one of which has (yet) been deleted, I was insulted by a non-contributing, opinionated idiot (Tarc). A user who contributes nothing to the project, and only argues and stirs up trouble would legitimately be branded a troll at any rational site. But Wales sat there and said nothing. Who does Wales thank? The only time I saw him go out of his way to thank an editor was when the prancing hypocrite Scott MacDonald created the biggest disruption of Wikipedia I'd ever seen, by speedy-deleting hundreds of unsourced biographies. And how does Scotty feel about the blackout? He opposes it because, you know, it disrupts Wikipedia to make a point. "In protest at this action [blah blah blah] I will cease contributing on an indefinite basis." If that's the only result of this blackout, then it is well worth it.

Fine job, Ms. Asato. You've earned a rest!
The evil trickles down from the top, gentlemen. Jimbo created this whole mess by not setting up any definitions, any real rules or guidelines himself. He has not made so much as a simple statement of what Wikipedia is. He famously claimed it to aspire to "The sum of human knowledge," yet it has now become accepted majority opinion that Wikipedia aspires to a minimal coverage of any topic. Recruiting new contributors is, in effect, only recruiting new victims. Even such "Pillars" as "Wikipedia is Not Censored" / "No Original Research" / "Neutral Point of View" are routinely subverted by subjective, fan-made rules like "Notability". This lack of any rules left the creation of rules to anyone who wanted to. So why work on articles? Without a set definition of the project, that is totally pointless work. The goals of the project, being undefined, can, and have been changed, resulting in the deletion of that work. Jimbo's other project-- Wikia, the Gulag created as an exile for those interested in contributing information rather than acting as barroom bouncers throwing out information-- is even worse. But I will save that rant for later. Don't worry Miss Asato, it's only worth one rant. I didn't invest anywhere near the time and effort there that I did at Wikipedia, so I've got a lot less to mull over.






Aw fuck it.
Contributing to Wikipedia is for chumps.
Only trolls whose only purpose is to harass the contributing suckers are welcome there.
And that is my last rant on the subject.

Hmm...
Hold that inspiring pose for a moment, Miss Asato, if you could, and I'll be right there!

Jugs with Wine, a Wikipedia Rant, and Thou

I'm nearly finished posting all my current posters at my first Pink film blog, which covers the years 1990 to the present. I just have to finish 2002. So far, I've made a total of over 1,200 posts, each representing a film, with information and poster(s). I've been slowly adding some info to IMDb, and their coverage of, for example, the filmography of Sachi Hamano, and the personnel involved in the making of those films, is improving. IMDb even gladly accepted an article on Mariko Morikawa's sole cinematic venture, Big Tit Monestary, linking to my blog's posters of both releases of the film. Nearly all of this information, needless to say, would now be unwelcomed at the project formerly claiming to aspire to "the sum of human knowledge."

[ BREAKING NEWS: The geniuses (i.e. anonymous, uninformed and biased volunteers) at Wikipedia are now in the process of removing awards as proof of "notability" for Pink film personnel, based on equating them with US low-grade, hardcore pornography personnel. According to the Historical Dictionary of Japanese Cinema, Pink film "must be considered a crucial sector of [Japanese] domestic film production." Do similar reference books on US cinema say this of US hardcore pornography? No matter. Soon, articles on Japanese performers in mainstream films will be targeted for deletion because of a guideline set up to deal with (i.e., delete) articles on U.S. hardcore porn stars. As far as sexual exlicitness, Pink films are the equivalent of US R- and NC-17 films. So will the geniuses at Wikipedia judge filmmakers and films in the US R- and NC-17 categories by the same standard? No, no, no, of course not. But, Dekkappai-san! You don't mean that Wikipedia's "notability" guidelines violate Wikipedia's own policies of "No original research", "Neutral Point of View" and "Not Censored" by allowing editors frame it with their un-supported opinions and personal prejudices, resulting in cultural bias throughout the project! That's EXACTLY what I don't mean nothin' else BUT! ]

Scene from Tamaki Yasuoka's new DVD

Speaking of Hell on the Internet. I got a notice that the edit-warring and sourced-content-deletion of full-time Wiki-asshole Hullaballoo Wolfowitz had been brought to the attention of Jimbo Wales. I made the mistake of blundering in and pointing out that HW was one of the arrogant, ignorant, incompetent, lazy sons-of-bitches who had played a role in my leaving the project-- after having contributed over 600 articles including two Good and one Featured on the mainpage. And how did Wales react? Silence. I was then attacked and insulted on Jimbo's talkpage by a pimply-faced Anglo-centric piece of shit who has never contributed anything to the project, and spends all his time seeing that his self-important, ignorant opinion is represented at every discussion. And how did Wales react? Silent agreement.

A week before Daylight Savings time, I had another brush with Wikipedia. My old computer indicated it was time to set the clocks back, but, knowing that the date had been changed within the last decade, I decided to check around first. I figured even the incompetent blow-hards at Wikipedia could manage to give me the correct time of day. One would think that, for one, is one of the rare, relatively non-controversial topics which doesn't attract crackpottery, edit-warring and deletion of real information. One would thing wrong. The article on Daylight Savings Time does not give the dates of time change. I checked another article-- "Daylight Savings Time in various countries" or whatever. That did not give the dates of time-change either. At this point I did what I should have done before I even went to the site: said "FUCK Wikipedia!" and easily Googled my answer. I can only imagine that the constipated, rule-making "Wikipedia is not" apes went on a "Wikipedia is NOT an almanac!" crusade and deleted any information that might help users in this area. And Jimbo Wales and the rest of the Neville Chamberlains sat on their smug asses silently "assuming good faith".

Tamaki-san's wine date, Mei Asaki

So far so good.

Then, today I get an email from the marvelous Wikipedia system telling me that an article I started on the Korean animated film Robot Taekwon V and Golden Wing way back in 2006 had suddenly been put up for speedy deletion. Against my better judgement, I looked in to see what was up. What happened illustrates the bureaucratic incompetence that has taken hold at Wikipedia, and which is only getting worse, to the satisfaction of the incompetent teens-playing-bureaucrats who run the place now. Some stupid fucking idiot vandalized the article, adding a lot of hoax information involving Nicholas Cage, President Obama, Roger Ebert, etc. Ha ha ha. Funny. OK. Easily fixed. Just revert it, right? Wrong. But that's how the marvelous Wikipedia system works, isn't it? No. That's how the old Wikipedia worked. The Wikipedia that was set up to accept and present information. How does the new, modernized, BLP-ized, Notability-ized, Deletion-ized Wikipedia system handle this? It speedy-deletes the article as a hoax, then warns me-- retired, good-faith contributor, non-vandal ME-- not to add inappropriate material. Fine. IMDb will be happy to accept information on this "hoax" film when I eventually tire of Pink cinema and branch out to Korean cinema.

Here's the entry for that "hoax" over at the Korean Movie Database, and to the right, more hoaxery deceives your eyes. Of course none of the English and American idiots at Wikipedia would think to search for information on a Korean animated film in Korean, would they? No, anyone who reads Korean has either left the project to contribute real information someplace that accepts it, or has accepted what Wikipedia is now, and stayed on to push one point of view and to fight other point-of-view-pushers... Chatting, trolling, fighting other trolls, vandalizing and fighting other vandals... that's what all the repected editors do...

And at IMDb? No vandals, no self-important, incompetent assholes endlessly creating, changing, interpreting and re-interpreting their own rules... just submit your information with back-up sources and people with actual authority approve it or reject it... I should have made the move to IMDb long ago.

But, in Boobpedian news: The gorgeous Tamaki Yasuoka has a new DVD release, code name: WZA-04. She can be seen at the top of this post. Tamaki-san reports in her blog that she and lovely Mei Asaki had a wine date a couple weeks ago. See the picture below Ms. Yasuoka above for Asaki-san. Put me between those four... er, two... with a little scotch instead of the wine, and you've got the stuff that Dekkappedlian dreams are made of...

And, beating all the odds, Bon-Bon Cherry has finally released a decent screenshot to DMM. Take a look at the layout presented in their DVD Bomc-032:

Bomc-032

... and with that, I wish you soft, warm, squishy, pleasant dreams...

Pocchari Pink? Inspiration strikes!

I spent last night adding birthdates and places to a couple dozen entries on Pink Film personnel at IMDb. Meanwhile, work at Dekkappai's Pink Film Archive continues. I suffered one minor set-back a couple days ago when Google deleted both my blogs and blocked my account. No explanation was given, but my guess is that it was because I was posting so much at the Pink Film Archive, and giving the posts seemingly random dates (I date the blog entry to the release date of the film, which is going to be a problem whose solution I haven't come up with yet once I start working on films made before 1970...). I guess I caught the attention of a spam-filter bot or something. Hopefully that's in the past now... The magnitude of the Pink film project is beginning to dawn on me. I've only finished 2011 (which is only half a year), and 2010 back to mid-2007, and just past the 200th post... Considering that I've got Pink-related stuff going solidly back to 1963, and tricklings of pre-pink stuff from earlier... I won't be lacking for things to do in my spare time for the next decade... (Gorgeous new discovery Fuuka [ふうか]from Max-Body above, left and below, right.)

Though I've always found these Pink films to be quite interesting, my eye must wander elsewhere for pocchari pleasure. Why not combine the two? Hey-- Yutaka Ikejima! Sachi Hamano! Mototsugu Watanabe! One of you guys make us a nice pocchari Pink film series, and we lovers of the full-figured Asian lady and interesting cinema will be eternally grateful. Though it may not be mainstream, BBW fandom in Japan seems to be quite strong already, and growing, so I think it's a viable genre for Pink film or two... And for possible star material? Well, obviously, there are the lovelies who grace the DVDs of IZM, JAMS, et. al., but let me refer you also to the fine establishment of Max-Body. There you can choose from potential star material such as our old bosom friend Masaki Amamiya, whom you see in the bath to the left, and whose shop page can be seen HERE, or from lovely newcomers like Fuuka, seen also in a clean mood above to the right, and all the way at the top of this post, to the left.

Moving On to Pink Film Archive & IMDb!

Posting here over the past month has been fun and given me ideas on what can and can't be done in this format. As mentioned earlier, I'll be cutting back on Wiki-type work after the first month of October, and with that, posting at this Boobpedia blog will dwindle. Still I'll plan on posting the occasional essay whenever I come across a new discovery to share here and at BP.

My next project is to upload the Pink film poster images I've accumulated and identified over the years while working on the subject at Wikipedia and Eigapedia. Dekkappai's Pink Film Archive is the first step in that project. (I'm hoping Blogspot allows thousands of posts/images, because that's what it's going to take.) Step two will be adding the info on these films to IMDb, where I've been contributing to the subject sporadically, but quite successfully over the past couple years. (I had to chuckle when I read the message at IMDb on adding new films, along the lines of, "We already have almost every feature film ever released, your new one is probably already here." Well, IMDb, you've barely scratched the surface of the fascinating world Pink film... So, allow me to introduce you to about 100 films a year you've overlooked...)

IMDb will be a better place for this information than the so-called "encyclopedic" Wikipedia and Wikia. Not only is IMDb-- despite what Wikipedia claims-- a much more "reliable" source, because it checks all information before adding it, it doesn't allow any fool to edit it. No one edits it except for IMDb staff. We submit data with sourcing for their consideration, and then they add or reject it. At Wikipedia, where "anyone" can edit, people who are opposed to certain topics come there simply to remove that information, no matter how well sourced. Unless you want to spend most of your time fighting to keep legitimate information in, you are wasting your time contributing there... One drawback to IMDb is that it charges to add posters to their pages, so I won't be doing that. But I'll link to the posters in my new blog at external links at the IMDb page. I've already got a few Pink film posters from 1967/68 linked to another poster image album of mine which never went very far. Those posters are very tame compared with the recent ones. I'll go in with the understanding that they'll probably reject most of the poster links, but at least the info will be there, and the posters will be in my Archive, searchable in English, for anyone curious. I'll continue adding to Boobpedia whenever inspiration and/or new models strike. And I leave you for now with one of the loveliest of Japanese BBW models, one who looks as good coming as she does going: The sublime Tamaki Yasuoka in two images from the DVD MAGURO-008. Tamaki-san, the relish is ready if you've got a nonce to spare for some flippin'!

Hexvoodoo requested we not edit Boobpedia today, since it was being moved to a new (better, hopefully) server. I watched Where Danger Lives (1950) instead. Excellent little film noir marred only by an unbelievable happy ending. Robert Mitchum is a promising young doctor engaged to be married, who falls in love with a murdering psycho, heads for Mexico with her, leading to all kinds of misery. After she's shot and Mitchum is recovering in the hospital, his fiancee is waiting, sweetly, for him. Hunh? WTF? Not in my experience. She'd have kicked him in the balls and ripped his eyes out-- and that's if she forgave him!

Mrs. Dekkappai, being a chubby, buxom Asian woman herself, knows I like to look at other women-- chubby, buxom, Asian, and/or not-- and she's fine with that. But do you know what would happen if I ever ran off with some floozy, like Mitchum did in this movie?... Do you???

THIS would happen!

And this!

And THIS!!
And THIS!!!

AND THIS!!!!!

But let's take a breath and pull ourselves together now... Anyway. Claude Rains redeemed himself after the rather disappointing Angel on My Shoulder from a couple days ago. He was superb as the bitter, soon-to-be-murdered cuckolded husband in this movie, though he only had a short part.

Boin Box Bios done, Uncle Bon Bon outdoes himself

Finished the Boin Box series bio-stubblies for the new actresses this a.m. I know I have a moral obligation here to live up to my "Adult Content" warning, but I can't resist... allow me to once again indulge my fetish for clothed women. Feast your eyes on the gorgeous Boin Box sweater-girl Rei Minami to your left, here from a DVD code-named TMEM-012 on the as-yet unexplored Baltan label. Combine that with the unveiling on the right, and you have as pleasant a little scenario for your viewing pleasure as you could ask for.

I went back and started a couple bios on older Boin Box actresses which had been left, but the server started fizzin' up (the trusty old "Forbidden" message), so I counted up my bios from the past week and added them to my curriculum vitae-- 37 bios in all. And now with that obligation out of my way, I'm free to take another safari into my beloved pocchari territory.

I then took a little time to browse around a little and found that DMM has released the highly-anticipated screenshots to the Bon Bon Cherry series DVD BOMC-029 (Exclusive! Never Before Seen! 26-Year-Old 144cm T-Cup Haruki, 50cm Difference Between Top and Under Bust), bearing a record-breaking T-cup model. Unfortunately none of the images have her face visible. To the left, Haruki further satisfies my fetish for clothed models. However, note the rounded window pane in the background of the image at left, indicating that either Haruki lives in a home constructed by hobbits, or the photographer felt the need to enhance the model's supernatural attributes with that fish-eye lens I was complaining about a couple days ago. I mean, what the hell, Uncle Bon Bon?! This is may be the biggest bazoom yet captured in the history of Japanese AV, and you feel the need to exaggerate it with photographic manipulation?

The image at right seems to give a better idea of what the lady's chestular attributes look like clothed, with a minimum of photographic interference from our dear Uncle.








Now, if I can direct your attention back to the left, we see the goods in the process of unveiling.










Et voilà. Glance to the right, and no more words are necessary. I will leave you to contemplate the goodness of nature's bounty... DMM kindly offers a video clip to sample the harvest...

To Pee or Not to Pee

Flopped out a few more Boin Box series bio-quicklies in the a.m.: Yuu Aiuchi (the breathtakingly lovely lass to our left), Mayu Hibiki, and Haruka Koide, with Donizetti's Anna Bolena (Gencer, Simionato) for accompaniment, until, once again, the server's problems curtailed editing... This time leaving a glaring error in an article, which I couldn't correct (giving Yuu Aiuchi's bust measurement as 34cm instead of 34 inches / 85cm). At least this morning's error message was different from the usual "Forbidden". This time I was informed, "This is a cached copy of the requested page, and may not be up to date. Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties." Ah well, I fixed it after a few minutes.

Continuing my exploration of obscure B-movie rarities, I watched something called Wizard of Oz (1939) today. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this film is destined for classic status. I always wondered why the fact that Frank Morgan who played both Professor Marvel and the Wizard, is also the gate-keeper/carriage driver never seems to be noticed by anyone else. Or am I imagining it. No, IMDb lists it. I guess it's known. Anyway, it adds another level to the Wizard's humbuggery...

It strikes me now, too, that since I saw the movie on a Korean DVD, the Korean translation-- 오즈의 마법사 ("Ojeu ui mabopsa") needs only a minor alteration-- 오줌의 마법사 ("Ojum ui mabopsa") to become an excellent title for a scatological porn DVD-- "The Wizard of Piss". Believe it... or not... (Unfortunately, a Wiki-pimp search on the title indicates I'm not the first to come up with this clever little pun...) I'd post a picture here of one of my favorite Japanese lovelies peeing, but I suspect Blogspot / Blogger would have a policy against such things. Checking the Terms of Service, however, I only see the explicit exclusion of bestiality (there goes some Hisayasu Satou films), and incest... do they mean real incest or the portrayal of it by actors? If the former, how do they prove it? If the latter, well, a whole lot of stuff is excluded, including much of the oeuvre of my beloved, maternal Tamaki Yasuoka, not to mention such major filmmakers as Shouhei Imamura. (At right, jolly AV actresses Usagi Minagi and Tamaki Yasuoka demand an answer to this relative question.)... I'm sure I've got a few images of actresses urinating hidden away somewhere, but a quick browse through my archives turned up nothing immediate... It's not my cup of pee anyway, so why fight for it?... Piss on it...

I was back and forth while the movie played, but I had to sit down to enjoy my favorite moment. It's when Dorothy is getting ready to click her heels together and return to Kansas. The Wizard has already taken off in the balloon. She's saying goodbye to her Oz friends, as "If I Only Had a Brain" is playing softly, with restrained passion on the soundtrack. Just when she comes to the Cowardly Lion, the violins suddenly, sweetly soar up to the stratosphere in close harmony, like a stifled sob, longing for home but regretting leaving new friends, anticipating the later wish to return to Oz, the inevitable return to sepia-tones after all the magical color of the last 90 minutes, the audience's knowledge that the film is coming to an end, and of childhood's bittersweet ending leading to disillusioned adulthood, old age and death, Judy Garland's for one... All wrapped up in one wistful little passing phrase in the strings. Chokes me up every time...

Started the day off with a bio-quickly for Sumire Matsu. Waaaay to thin for my liking. She is an example of the esteemed quality of "kubire"-- the curve between ribs and hips-- which seems to mean to me, actually, just plain old boniness... not to mention the neurotic worrying about weight, and other personality traits that usually accompany such a figure... Ms. Matsu (at right) smiles here, but I still feel bad when I see such a figure. You can actually see her bones there, can't you? It brings images of prison camps to mind... Well, if some women want to be this way-- really want to, rather than feel they have to-- and some guys like this, fine, fine, I guess. Give me a lady who's nice and comfortable, relaxed, plump and happy though. I didn't work much on Boobpedia for a weekend, but I did start six more Boin Box series bios: Megumi Yuuka, Mia Kashiwagi, Yuka Nishii, Mizuho Seto, Marin Koyanagi, and Riho Hoshiyama.

Back to my public domain comedy-viewing project, I finally got around to watching Hillbilly Blitzkrieg (1942), sequel to Private Snuffy Smith (also 1942). I was going to jokingly refer to it as "Hillbilly Apocalypse", but Wikipedia's pimp informs me that name has already been taken, apparently by a musical group of some sort. My second choice, "Hillbilly Holocaust" has also been taken... Speaking of Google, Barney Google, the star character of the comic strip which Snuffy Smith took over, appears as a main character in this film, played by double-talking comic actor Cliff Nazarro. Nazarro "had the unique ability to ramble on and on, with 80 percent of his speech being garbled nonsense words, generally confounding friends and foes alike." (according Tim Hollis in Ain't that a knee-slapper: rural comedy in the twentieth century scroll up to p.109) A man after my own heart... And I thought the sound on the DVD just went askew whenever he said anything. In the final fade-out, Snuffy and Edgar Kennedy are both riding a bomb traveling through space. They look down and Snuffy says, "There goes Pearl Harbor!" and Kennedy replies, "Yeah! Next stop Tokyo!" Apparently the film was not a success, according to the surmising of Hollis. But one can only wonder, seeing this final scene, if Kubrik saw it... It's eerily similar to the great scene in Doctor Strangelove with Slim Pickens as a Major "King" Kong a-hootin' and a-hollerin' as he rides his own bomb to apocalypse... Our second film of the day was Angel on My Shoulder (1946) starring Paul Muni as a dead gangster, and Claude Rains as the Devil. This "class" comedy from a big studio-- United Artists-- was less enjoyable than the B-movie quickies I've been watching lately. Sure, it was better made, but I got the feeling I was being condescended to. Seemed like one of those "sophisticated" comedies the critics and big-shots always like, but, 20 years later, are forgotten, while the low-brow stuff is still enjoyed. (Reminds me of a certain "Encyclopedic" project which allows self-appointed guardians of quality to decide that what its readers should read, and delete what they actually want to read, because that is not respectable... I mean "notable".) Muni, especially, was over-doing the comic acting, and the gangster-ese. A "serious drahmatician" trying to hard to be a lowly comedian. Rains is his usual self, which is not bad, but as the Devil? Sure the Devil can be suave and manipulative, but should he be totally non-threatening? I don't know, just didn't work for me. The Hillbilly movie was more fun, if, obviously, not the better film of the two.

Started another single bio this a.m.-- Misato Ayukawa seen at left in Boin "Misato Ayukawa" Box (April 2010) then fixed some of the old video links in the Cinema Unit GAS DVD articles during the afternoon. Flopped out a triple o' bio-quicklies in the p.m.: Madoka Ayukawa, Serina Kurosawa, and Kaede Ousawa. Kaede Ousawa is seen at right. Lovely young girl, but has blond/red hair. Remind me to complain about Asian women dyeing their hair blond later... Also, don't let me forget to rant about piercing, tattoos, implants, cosmetic amputation, and whatever sorts of body-mutilation passes for fashion these days. I like women just as nature intended them. Au naturel. À la carte. No man-made contraptions to interfere with their natural beauty, please. Thank you very much.

After the night's editing, I watched a little Monk with my son. One of the few new TV shows I'll watch. And then only on DVD. Remind me to rant some time about how much I hate American culture of the past decade-and-a-half. How alienated I feel from what is ostensibly my own culture. How much more I enjoyed being a foreigner in Korea and Japan-- where I really was a foreigner-- than I do being one in my own country... Actually, I guess I like Monk because I can identify with him. Though he does seem more comfortable here than I am... And a better detective...

Since I've hinted at some of my dislikes above-- which I'll rant about later, God willing-- allow me to now be more positive, and discuss a few the things I do like. Now, be forwarned, delicate reader, I am about to expose a few of my very bizarre fetishes. One of my strange quirks involves the pleasure of seeing women with clothes on. Yes. On. I find them quite beautiful that way. Is there a name for that fetish? Now I'm not talking about fetish clothing-- I don't care for leather, or angora, or high heels and all that crap. No, just plain, everyday clothing... Glasses would be a nice touch though. (Right: Noa Serizawa amply demonstrates the charm of a buxom, beautiful woman with clothes on. Sick? If this is wrong, I don't want to be right.) Now don't get me wrong: I find them quite beautiful with their clothes off too. Absolutely. No question about it. But after seeing one of these AV actresses nude in every conceivable position, from every angle, I start to wonder, "Oh, I bet she'd look GORGEOUS in clothes!" And sometimes I'm frustrated in my efforts to scan the Internet seeking out a picture of this lovely lady in attire other than her birthday suit, and in a position less than scandalous.

Another fetish is the first view. The first shy unveiling. The moment when she first shares her offerings, demonstrated by the bounteous Usagi Minagi to the left. The "You like?" moment. Yes, I like. Oh yes, I like very much. "Too big?" Oh, no, no. "I am too fat?" Oh, no, no, just relax and don't worry about a thing, my sweet. Ah, memories... I hope my sharing these horribly revolting, twisted, disgusting, deeply personal fetishes of mine have not unduly shocked my readers. I hope you're not too queasy to eat dinner alright after all this filth. I've certainly embarrasted myself by opening up my deepest, darkest secrets this way, that's for sure... But what the Hell? It was a decent enough excuse to post a couple more photos, and to blather on a bit...

Started one bio this a.m.-- Yui Tachibana-- skinny, pretty gal... I offer her image at right for your enjoyment and edification. These bio stubs go a lot slower than the DVD stubs, because I've been accumulating the DVD info when I'm at faster computers, then putting the articles together and posting them at the slower ones. Using time more efficiently, in other words. I finished 65 DVD stubs for the Boin Box series in less than a week. Yet here I am a week later, and have only added a dozen or so bios... And interest begins to dissolve when things go that slowly. I'll have to think about devising a way to put the bios together in a similar way, in order to increase productivity.

Now's as good a time as any, I suppose, to mention that I plan on curtailing my editing activity after the first week of October. Other hobbies call, and I've been gradually easing back into them over the past couple months. I'd originally intended to spend the last month or so of full-time Wiki-hobbying working on Japanese cinema at Eigapedia and Korean cinema at Yeonghwapedia but I received news that the "explicit" posters of some of the Pink films articles I'd started at Eigapedia (and the "Ero" films I planned to start at Yeonghwapedia) would have to be deleted, making the articles pretty useless, I think. When I want to work on articles with bare-bones info and no poster, I contribute to IMDb. So, Boobpedia becomes my final full-time wiki-hobby outlet, and it is a fine place to wind up this hobby. I'll plan on adding to Boobpedia and this blog whenever new inspiration-- and information-- hits, but it won't be as regular as it has been, or will be until early October.

Anyway, the Boobpedia server was screwing up in the afternoon, so all I got done was to add a few Amazon numbers to the newest Cinema Unit GAS DVDs and info on the latest Shaking Big Boobs series releases. I flopped out a quadruple of bio-quicklies in the p.m.--Momoko Saeki (the lovely lady seen to the left), Suzuka Arinaga, Yumi Kitami, and Mei Asuka-- then called it quits.

Venus Anadyomene

Started another bio-stub this morning, Kairi Uehara, but discovered another editor had already started an article on her under another alias Nao Tachibana. Damn. I merged what I could, and patched up the mess I'd made as best as I could, given that the Boobpedia server was again giving me trouble. During the afternoon I put together data on a few new pocchari series: POTYAJ, PCHA, and Jams' FAT series. All short series which should be quick, easy and fun. In the evening I started three more BoinBB bios, then browsed around a little. I found the new releases from BBP Eizo, a "candid camera"-type series which takes videos of chubby and busty women on the street or at the beach. Though obviously hit & miss, it occasionally comes up with such visions of wonderous loveliness as this Venus emerging from the sea-- cropped from the DVD cover KBCK-024-- over on the right. It's an interesting series, at least judging from the DVD covers, but won't work in with the AV network method we've got going at Boobpedia-- Start articles on all the DVDs in a series, then bio stubs with filmographies on all the actresses, who then appear in more busty series, each of which we start articles on, leading to more actress bio stubs.. I guess that's the way Boobpedia keeps perpetuatin' itself, down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands a time until - aw, look at me, I'm ramblin' again.... Well, I hope you folks enjoyed yerselves...

(note: for a fuller look at this DVD, and the girl in this scene, see the blog post for June 29, 2014.)

Started out the morning by flopping out one bio-stub for a new Boin Box actress, Natsumi Kimoto (right). Beautiful girl, but I chose poorly by starting at the end of the series-- the most recent release-- which meant she hadn't appeared in much yet and didn't have much info or photos available. I even wound up having to use a DVD cover for her portrait, which I try to avoid at all costs. I decided to go back and start at the other end of the series at night.

During my afternoon session, I gathered data for the Maguro series / label's Nikudan series. I'm not sure about the name. In Japanese it's Ma-gu-ro, but DMM gives the director's name in Roman script as "Magllow". Maguro certainly makes more sense, as "Magllow" makes no sense whatsoever as far as I can tell. Maguro is Japanese for tuna, and a fish under the rising sun greets you at the label's official site: http://maguro721.com/. Also, I think it's slang for "AV actress", but I'm not sure about that-- might be another fish... This series and the director obviously have a thing for big butts. At left, say hello again to the series' standard-bearer, the inimitable Rose Aoyama. Unlike with most of these Japanese big-butt models, they don't even have to use that annoying fish-eye lens technique to exaggerate Ms. Aoyama's parting salutations. That damned fish-eye makes the rooms look like they're round, and distort the actress' bodies to make one area look larger than it actually is. Just give me the real thing, please. I'm more than capable of fixating on my favorite bits all by myself, without interference from artificial digital enhancement. The official site gives video samples, but they're imbedded, and I can't figure out how to download and save them. (If anyone knows how, I'd be grateful for a note of explanation.) Here is Rose Aoyama's page/video depicting, among other scenarios, the pleasures of a brief encounter at the laundromat with a friendly young lady with an enormous ass. Most, if not all, the actresses also satisfy Boobpedia's inclusion criteria quite satisfactorily. Rose has recently made a video (PCHA-006) under the alias "Christine"-- but there's no hiding that unique figure in the world of Japanese AV under an alias... Throw the goddess Tamaki Yasuoka into the series, and the Nikudan series is bound to become one of my favorites. I'm pretty sure some of these DVDs have already been started by other editors. I'm glad that the interest is there, but I hate to change other people's work to make it fit the format Prophecy and I have started. It's not that I feel put out, it's that I don't like to interfere with what other people have done. But since we have this video style established and spread throughout the project, as long as no information is lost, why not standardize the format? I started only a couple bio stubs in the evening: Hiyoko Morinaga and Sachika Manabe, then called it a night.
