Debukawa 5: A Pocha-Pocha-Valentine

Once again I'm too busy to devote much time to this blog. Work has been extra-busy, plus IMDb has progressed rapidly: I finished 1999 and started collecting the data for 2000 today. So I'll have to do a quickie-post here tonight.

Two recent discoveries at Youtube-- both from "TomoNews"-- have inspired me to take another look at the "Debukawa Night" phenomenon. There was a fifth Debukawa Night held on February 15 this year at Loft. The theme was "Pocha Pocha Valentine" (ぽちゃぽちゃバレンタイン).

The first video, entitled "The giant 220 lbs adult video stars of Japan: The next big thing", makes passing referenct to a recent BBW event which may be Debukawa Night.

Above, one of our big girls-- Iori Kuroki maybe?-- flips some poor slob who tries to get fresh with her on stage.

And the other video, titled "Portly beauty pageant: 220+ lb obese women compete for title in Japan", is definitely about the event, though I'm not completely sure which one it is about-- Debukawa 4 or 5.

Cha-cha Chan gives the event two thumbs up!

It includes an interview with a chubby Chinese lady whose name sounds something like "Cha-cha Chan". She approves of the event, saying that it gives larger ladies inspiration to take care of their appearance, since they are seen as attractive too.

Everybody's favorite cosplayer, LUU.

It's becoming increasingly difficult, when researching these events, to tell which images and information refer to which of the events. For the record, here are links to official "Debukawa blog" reports on the first (February 10, 2011), second (October 27, 2012), third (April 2013), and fourth (October 12, 2013) Debukawa nights.

Here are a few blog entries covering the event:

And since we're on the subject of Youtube videos, among others of interest I've found recently is this clip of Rose Aoyama I don't think I've ever seen before: "lovely asian chubby girl 3".
