Checking in: JAV work update, Twitter activities & new Chihiro images

A mysterious, undated Yôko Koizumi VHS recently found and posted to my JAV archives

Now that I'm spending all my online time working on the JAV project, this blog once again has fallen by the wayside. As predicted, I've gotten behind on my 10-a-day JAV post pace, however I have kept up collecting data & images. I spent this weekend catching up on the other aspects of the project. Submitting the videos to IMDb lags farthest behind.

Anna Watarai & friend, in an Alpha International BBW opus on VHS

One of the major recent tasks at the JAV archives was the BBW videos & DVDs of Alpha International, which employed both Yôko Koizumi and Anna Watarai. Most of their videos give their models only single names, but when I'm able to locate one series that gives family name also, I'm able to link that to all the model's other appearances on the label. This is one reason I'm happy I'm double-posting between Tumblr & Blogspot: Tumblr's search engine is incredibly, stupendously bad. Blogspot's is very good... on the other hand, Blogspot's image-uploading interface is horrible, while Tumblr's is very good. At first I thought these Alpha International videos would never be IMDb material, due to the anonymous models and no release dates. But since I'm identifying some of the models, this takes them one step closer to having a place in film history through IMDb. Maybe I'll find accurate release dates for them eventually.

Fuuka on DVD!?

One of the benefits to doing this JAV project is that I'm able to identify actresses who are either unidentified in other sources, or given only by first name. I discovered, for instance, that there is a "Fuuka" on DVD, in Maguro's OONIKU-014 (above)... I'm not 100% sure this is our own Fantastic Fuuka, but it sure looks like her... and it means she is now immortalized at IMDb!

Lovely Miyabi Hayama on the ropes

I keep up with Twitter these days, following the actresses, and other Tweeters of interest. One of the more remarkable events recently is a kinbaku artist working with a couple BBW models. Miyabi Hayama appears in the most photos of this nature. Bondage isn't exactly my cup of tea, but Miyabi-san is gorgeous from any angle...

The Amazing Chihiro returns!

And finally, through an anonymous tip this morning, I got three new Chihiro images, which seem to have only recently appeared online-- which may be an indication that she is still active. Dare we hope?... I then found a couple other images on my own, and then added them all to my shrine to this incredible lady.

Tamaki Yasuoka double-header: Another DVD recently added to the archive

And with that brief update, I dive back into full JAV/IMDb work until checking in again in a month or so... But I'm still keeping an eye on this blog...

Pocha Pocha soapland site

Today was a long day of slow downloading, giving me time to research and work up a full-sized post for tonight. The downloads were all Nikkatsu Roman Pornos:Sex Hunter: Wet Target (1972; Yukihiro Sawada), Prostitute Torture Hell (1973; Noboru Tanaka), True Story of a Woman in Jail: Sex Hell (1975; Kôyû Ohara), Wet Weekend (1979; Kichitaro Negishi), Nurse Diary: Wicked Finger (1979; Shin'ichi Shiratori), White Rose Campus: Then Everybody Gets Raped (1982; Kôyû Ohara), and Love Hard, Love Deep (1983; Yoshimitsu Morita). And the research was quite pleasurable as can be seen by the images below.

Sora Nanami

Last night's post on Erisa Natsumi led to the discovery of the Pocha Pocha soapland site, which I found has quite a selection of bounteous BBW ladies for us to drool over. Several prominent JAV BBW stars are profiled at the site, some of whom appear under aliases. Among the AV idols listed there are Sora Nanami, who appeared at Pukupuku Shiro Usagi in Uguisudani, Tokyo, until April, under the name "Uehara". Her profile says she's 28 years old, stands 154cm, with measurements of  B130(O)-75-110.

Marimo Momoi

Marimo Momoi's profile gives her name as Fuyutsuki (冬月), and currently lists her as 30 years old, 154cm tall, measuring B130(L)-69-130. She's appearing at the soapland Pocharina, also in Tokyo's Uguisudani, and she is currently writing a blog.

Miyabi Hayama, "Gravure"

Pocha Pocha appears to be an advertising site for soaplands, rather than a soapland itself. Nevertheless it seems to be a pretty major site, since it has T-shirts the girls model, shoots its own pictorial/Gravures of the ladies, and seems to be the host/sponsor of some BBW events. On October 11, ultra-popular, semi-retired BBW star, Miyabi Hayama became the most recent subject of Pocha Pocha's "Gravure" image feature. Miyabi-san's main page at the site lists her as appearing at Fukuoka's Hakata "Deli-Health", Coco-Lulu. Her profile gives her age as 27 years, says she stands 161cm, and has measurements of B144(M)-85-121.

Miyabi Hayama in the "Making of" video clip

Miyabi-san's Gravure page includes a downloadable video clip of the lovely lady posing for the photo shoot. The Coco-Lulu site currently lists Miyabi as "New & Up!", which, besides being a promising indication that she is indeed coming out of retirement, is an excellent reason to visit Fukuoka!

Erika at Chichi no ya

Another favorite of this blog-- IZM's AV star Erika-- is listed as 23 years old, standing 158cm, and measuring B130(Q)-85-118. She is appearing at Chichi no ya in Namba, Osaka. She also has a Gravure page and video.

Marina Jônouchi's "Gravure" shoot

Under the name "Watanabe", Marina Jônouchi is another AV actress who is given the Gravure treatment at the site. Pocha Pocha's main Gravure page includes links to several other impressive BBWs, each with 20 professional, large-size images, and "Making of" video clips. Other prominent BBW JAV stars with profiles at the site include Shion Amane, Jun Minami, Hana Uehara (as "Lulu"), Yui Igarashi, and Masaki Amamiya.

Fuuka

Non-JAV stars listed at the site include what appears to be one of my favorite models from the sadly-defunct Max-Body-- Fuuka. She's listed currently at Osaka's BBW-themed Monroe.

The girls with "Pocha Pocha" T-shirts

Posts such as this and this show in attendance at this Autumn 2013 event-- the Tokyo Pocha-Doll Mucchiri Collection, Miyabi Hayama, Sara Aikawa, Jun Morozuki, Konata Yuusei, Hiyoko Makino, Shokora Minami, Erika, Masaki Amamiya. Whether Pocha Pocha set this up, or just reported on it, I'm not sure. The above photo shows a group of the girls all wearing advertising for Pocha Pocha, so I'm inclined to think they are a sponsor of the event.

In Memoriam Max-Body: Free Keiko Saito!

Max-Body is now, sadly, closed

Asato of Max-Body (above)

I come bearing bad tidings tonight. A tip from reader Brandt confirms our worst fears about our friends at Max-Body have come true. I had noted lately that the site seemed to be down. Now I know the reason. The Japan Times ran a story on July 17 titled "Tokyo cops bust Max Body ring of hefty hookers", and Yahoo ran the same story the day before. Max-Body's owner, 41-year-old Keiko Saito, was accused of running the club in Taito Ward, Tokyo, as a call-girl prostitution service. Saito employed 31 big girls averaging 100kg, the heaviest of whom was 155kg. An 80kg girl who worked there was reported to be an active AV performer-- we can probably figure out who she is with a little research... Max Body's fees were ¥15,000 for the first hour.

Anzu of Max Body

It is my understanding that prostitution (interpreted as selling "penetrative sex") is illegal in Japan, but that the vibrant "soapland" / "deli-health" (delivery-"soapland") industry gets around this law by supplying everything-but-penetrative sex-- i.e., massage, paizuri, hand-jobs, fellatio (I think), etc. Just as long as tab A doesn't go into slot B, the letter of the law is observed... But apparently Max-Body crossed that line... Tokyo Reporter ran an article last week on the raid titled, "Big bust shows guys still hankering for hefty hookers", and another article today titled "Japanese males’ interest in heavy honeys extends beyond sex industry" uses the arrest to delve a bit further into the new appreciation for BBWs in Japanese society, mentioning the DVD studios JAMS and Maguro Bussan.

Farewell, fantastic Fuuka!

Maybe it's just my imagination, but I get the impression from the articles-- and this CGI video news item at Youtube-- that they are implying catering to men who like the big girls is laughable and their preferences abnormal. Yet a matchmaking site consulted said that demand for chubbier women is higher than the formerly most-in-demand slender and "Lolita" types. Ms. Saito reportedly made about ¥400 million (over 4 million US dollars) in the three years since Max-Body opened in 2010... so it's not just us overseas, curious foreigners who were fans of Max-Body... SOMEBODY in Japan must love those big, beautiful girls!

Yukari at Max-Body

Yukari at her blog

On a side-note, online message board discussions of the case include speculation that the images at the site are heavily Photoshopped. I dislike Photoshopping when it's done to ridiculous extremes-- for example I've seen images of the already cartoonish Fuuko with her boobs expanded beyond physical possibility. My question is: Why? Also, when I see DVD cover images that promise more than the DVD actually delivers, I feel cheated. I'd probably feel cheated if I saw the images at this site, called up the service based on them, and the reality turned out to be far less enticing...

Airi's photo at Max-Body

Airi's photo at her blog

But, on the other hand, when one of these girls has a blog, with amateur pictures, they usually look much the same-- not as professionally slick, of course, but the proportions are comparable. Look at the two photos of the lovely Airi above, for example, or Yukari in the paragraph above. Sure, the blog photos are more life-like: harsher, rougher, with blemishes, and their boobs are pushed to the front focus, and the Max-Body shots obviously do have the models made-up, in fancy dress, in dreamy soft-focus, and no doubt a little photographic distortion... but still, even in the amateur shots, the girl's potential is all right there to see!... And regardless, for 99.99% of us overseas observers, there's no chance in Hell we're ever going to meet any of these ladies anyway. Even if the images are touched up and exaggerated a bit, they're not done to ridiculousness, and they are quite beautiful in and of themselves. So even if they're fantasy, those fantasy images are all the reality I'm ever going to get from the shop, and that's just fine with me.

Futaba of Max-Body

And so we must bid farewell to such lovelies as Asato, Airi, and Anzu, Yukari, Fuuka and Futaba... I think I join my readership in hoping the best for Ms. Saito and her bevy of bouncy beauties. Regardless of what she did or did not do, or the photographic accuracy of the images, by running the website attached to the club, she has provided overseas followers of her site with some spectacular fantasies and visions of bountiful feminine beauty. One of the Japanese reporters interviewed stated, “There is a magical power in heavy women.” Max-Body provided a service for this appreciative audience. I hope it's possible that Saito-san can open the site again... just resist the temptation to go "all the way" next time!

OONIKU-014: Newcomer Fuuka

Since the recovery of my computer, I've been spending my daily Japanese porn-related activities mostly concentrating on this blog, downloading and reviewing videos, getting the List of Models back up to date, and starting a new page, List of Video Reviews. That's been a lot of fun, but I'm getting a little behind on my Pink Film work. I've kept pretty much on schedule submitting information to IMDb (though I lost a month due to the computer troubles), but I've got a pretty big backlog of posters which need to be uploaded to the Pink film blogs. Working for this blog, I've downloaded 60 videos, and have reviewed only 21 of them, so I've got plenty of material to carry me through for a while. I'll continue downloading, but while my computer is at work I'll concentrate on doing Pink Film posts for a while. For here, I'll plan on reviewing a video only on certain days of the week-- maybe weekends-- and doing less time-consuming posts for other days... announcements of new videos coming out, little essays on actresses, etc.

OONIKU-014

For tonight, let's look in on our good friends at Maguro. They've got a couple new DVDs on their "Ooniku" label. The one we look at tonight is Potchari hôman yûgi 2 boshû to tôkô de mitsuketa niku on'na atsumemashita! (OONIKU-014), which was released just a few days ago, on July 19, 2013. Among the ladies in this DVD are Sarina Kurisaki, Miki Suzuhara, Miu Nishiki, Yukino, and two amateur models.

Fuuka

But the main model featured in this video is a newcomer named Fuuka. The name Fuuka, of course brings immediately to mind the gorgeous Max-Body model we first encountered in October 2011, and reviewed more thoroughly in February 2013. Whether she is the same, I am not sure.

Fuuka

And this is her butt. Max-Body's model spelled her name in hiragana (ふうか), while Maguro's uses kanji (風花). Maguro's model is 163cm tall, and has measurements of 123(K)-87-108, and Max-Body's stood 173cm with measurements of 143(O)-120-145. So, though they do bear similarities, and with the Maguro mode's face hidden it's even harder to tell for sure, I think they are different...

Fuuka (Max-Body)

And here's a reminder of the vision of loveliness that is Max-Body's Fuuka. On a side-note, Max-Body's site seems to be down now, which is a tragedy, since they had some of the finest-looking images of Japanese BBWs to be found on soapland sites. I'll keep my eyes open to find out where she's gone, if Max-Body has closed shop.

Fantastic Fuuka

My IMDb work continues apace. Today I finished translating the credits for 1992 Pink films into August, and I submitted films into May. At this rate, I'll probably finish 1992 well before my deadline of February 28. Whether to then continue straight into 1993 instead of waiting for March, or to spend the rest of February working on another IMDb-related task, I haven't decided yet... But down to business:

We've noted many times before what a truly top-notch collection of BBWs the soapland Max-Body offers, and we've introduced a few girls on occasion. But tonight lets take an extended visit with one of the most gorgeous ladies in their stable of voluptuous lasses, the one and only, mind-boggling, stupendous...

FUUKA!!! (ふうか) I haven't covered this girl here much yet, waiting to accumulate more images, but I find her to be just jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I have a few more images of her on my old, offline computer, but putting them online will take a bit of work, so I'll leave off on that until a later time. I spent this night's research time scouring the 'Net for new images of this unbelievably beautiful young woman, and it's going to be hard for me to resist posting every single image I find of this young lady!

You've seen her from the front, now say hello to her butt! We first met Fuuka in a post back in October 2011-- how time flies! I usually prefer more "mature" women-- Tamaki Yasuoka, Miyabi Hayama, Usagi Minagi are closer to my perfect age-range. So with her age reported between 25 and 27, Fuuka is a bit young for me. But she's got so much more that I like, that I hope she sticks around for a long time, to watch her age to perfection, like fine scotch.

Fuuka is not just a "BBW" in the sense I normally mean (heavy, not necessarily tall), she is a pretty tall girl, standing 173cm (5'8"). Her bust and hip measurements are a supernaturally impressive 143cm (56") and 145cm (57") respectively, with an O-cup bra. And it is quite obvious from these pictures that she has got a spectacular chest, and an equally spectacular butt.

Above is an image from a profile page of a Fuuka at the soapland Monroe. I have strong doubts that this is the same Fuuka, however, since her legs seem slimmer, her measurements don't match (but are close), and her blog mentions only Monroe, but not Max-Body. If this isn't our Fuuka, though, this Fuuka sure as Hell ain't bad either!

Unfortunately soapland sites tend to be squeamish of showing nudity, and on the rare times they do, either boobs or face or both are fogged out. Above, we have one of the rare pictures I can find of our Fuuka topless with her face also visible... Ah how I'd like to frolic amongst those flower petals...

A few video clips of Fuuka in motion can be seen around the 'Net. Besides her page at Max-Body, her profile at Fuuzoku Byuaraba (風俗情報ぴゅあらば) gives two brief video clips, one of which is also at fuutube.tv. Fuuka's friend and co-worker at Max Body, sweety-cutie Maika Sakura provides the above image of the two girls together in her blog. We first met Maika in my post reviewing Prometheus last June.

Before starting this blog I already knew most of my favorites-- Tamaki Yasuoka, Minagu Usagi, Hana Uehara, even Sara Aikawa, so Fuuka is probably the new "favorite" I've come across since starting this blog, in fact, if I remember right, her first appearance at Max-Body jolted me out of a brief retirement just to report on her.

This has been a short review of Fuuka's beauty, and I'll certainly continue watching for more images. I will come back to her at this blog again after I've collected enough further material for a decent-sized post.

**********************************************

Fuuka on DVD!?

PS (May 11, 2015): I've just discovered that there is a "Fuuka" on DVD: In Maguro's OONIKU-014 (above)... I'm not 100% sure this is our own Fantastic Fuuka, but it sure looks like her... and it means she is now immortalized at IMDb!

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.
