On the Ropes with Mariko: Q-Cup Slave

I spent most of my online day identifying and sorting posters from ENK, the gay Pink Film studio. I've accumulated enough of their posters that I wound up starting a stand-alone filmography for the studio. Though the films themselves don't interest me, they are an important part of Pink Film history. Many of the major Pink writers, directors and performers work in this sub-genre of Pink film: Yutaka Ikejima, Kyôko Godai, Hisayasu Satô, Sachi Hamano, Yumi Yoshiyuki, to name a few...

Speaking of a genre which I must address only because it is part of the history of Japanese erotic entertainment, but not because it does anything for me personally, we come to the inevitable S&M action. Though she doesn't seem to have made much of a career specialty of it, Mariko did dabble in a little B&D in her career. Above we have evidence of her foray into this genre from a magazine shoot which appears to tie in to the video under consideration tonight.

 
She starred in the November 30, 1994 Taiyô tosho (大洋図書) video Q-cup slave (Q－CUPスレイブ), directed by D-ji Nakano (中野D児). The video has a subtitle of "Bizarre Life 30", indicating it's part of a series... a series I don't have much interest in, since it seems mainly to focus on the bondage, with luscious BBW Mariko being just a coincidental participant.It has an Amazon listing which confirms the above information, but doesn't give the video code, which I can't locate.

This video was released on July 12, 1996, in rental-only, through Tôkyô onkô / Grape (東京音光 / ＧＲＡＰＥ) with a video code of TN-030.

 Since this is one of Mariko's videos I've actually seen, maybe a plot synopsis is in order. The first scenario is my favorite, having a bit of twisted humor to justify its S/M antics. It starts with a shady-looking businessman wheeling a package through a suburban neighborhood.

 He drops off the order with his customer, who, upon opening it, reveals that inside the wrapping is none other than kidnapped schoolgirl Mariko. He inspects the package, finding to his horror that Mariko has big boobs, and he HATES big boobs. "That idiot got the orders mixed up again!" he fumes...

 So, naturally, he ties her up, and abuses those big boobs that he despises so, slapping them around, growling, "What the hell am I going to do with these things?!" The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks...

 The camera zooms in on the offending items to give us the video's title "Q-Cup Slave". This is a relief because, unlike many of these newer actresses I review here, I actually saw several of Mariko's videos back in my bachelor days, but don't remember the titles... There are a couple more I could give synopses to from memory, but I don't know which videos they are...

 The next scenario is my second-favorite in this little opus. In it, Mariko plays a call girl who takes the cash from her client's wallet while he is occupied in the restroom. Foolishly wasting precious time counting the money before bolting from the room, her victim catches Mariko in the act, ties her up, and has his way with her.

 Mariko's big boobs don't seem to be an issue at all with this gentleman, as they are the only part of her anatomy-- besides the necessary lower regions-- which he disrobes, so that they might flop about during his exertions. In a fitting bit of poetic justice, he robs Mariko of her cash after having satisfied himself on her body.

 After these two amusing little bagatelles, the video descends into rougher stuff. Mariko is bound in plastic and kicked around. Has candle-wax poured on her, and is generally abused. This kind of stuff is just repulsive to me, but I guess some people enjoy it...

 There is a fairly decent sex scene right before the end, with Mariko's voluptuousness in good display. But again, the ropes ruin it for me... Well, almost ruin it...

After all her degradation has come to an end, the camera freezes on Mariko, while giving us the credits. The above seems to be a cast listing, by which I guess that the director (D-ji Nakano) was one of the actors in the proceedings. He's listed last of the three actors at bottom left. The other two male cast member are Tatsurô Hibino (日比野達郎) and Pink Film veteran, Ryuji Yamamoto (山本龍二). The whole video is currently available for viewing on XHamster under the title "80s BBW JAP".
 Though, as I've often pointed out, B&D/S&M doesn't do anything for me, the models who are involved in it often do arouse my interest. As luscious Naomi Tani, S&M Queen of the Roman Porno era and lust of my youth, pointed out, S&M guru Oniroku Dan said that the perfect bondage model must have a good amount of flesh so that the ropes can produce some noticeable effect. Where Oniroku-sama and I differ is that I just want to worship that flesh, not tie it up...
