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

FA-59 video cover
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...
Chihiro
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.

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...

End of the year report / New Year plan

Again I've been putting off posting here. First let's take a look back at the previous year, and then look ahead to what I plan to do in 2015.


All data on Pink films in World Filmography 1967, submitted to IMDb this year

IMDb work in 2014 was been more diverse than the previous two, and that kept my interest going. Besides continuing work on the main, long-term project I started a couple years ago of starting an entry for every Pink film released from 1990-present, I added as much info as I could on every Pink film released in 1967 & 1968, based on entries in Cowie's World Filmography 1967 and World Filmography 1968. I finished 1967, but am only about a quarter of the way through 1968.

Pink Film Award, now at IMDb

IMDb announced they had re-opened submissions for awards ceremonies this year, and this enabled me to start up a long-desired project there. The Pink Film Award page was accepted, and proved to be a lot of work. These pages are still difficult to contribute to, and I haven't yet figured out how to add data on the event itself-- location, date and time of the ceremonies-- which I see in some other award pages. Still it's nice to see the major award of the Pink film world represented at IMDb, even if it's going to take a long time to get it all posted. In December I started adding the Pink films released in 2014-- there were only 38 of them-- and I've almost got them finished now.

Miyabi Hayama's latest: ICD-259, now at IMDb

As planned at the beginning of the year, I took some time off straight Pink film work at IMDb to submit some BBW/busty AVs. I was surprised at how quickly and painlessly these were accepted. Earlier in the year I added entries for the ICD, JAMS, and MAGURO, labels, and in late December I brought them up to date. In the process of adding those DVD, many of our favorite BBW models got their own IMDb entries. When I had them, I linked IMDb to my blog reviews of those videos.

Hana Uehara in GAS-198, both now at IMDb

In November I undertook the largest sub-project of the AV project: The 342 GAS DVDs. This brought me in communication with none other than Akira Takatsuki  himself, and he emailed me release dates on some of the earlier DVDs in the series. In order to fill out their filmographies a little, I also added a few miscellaneous video releases starring busty/BBW icons like Kimiko Matsuzaka and Mariko Morikawa, who already had entries at IMDb due to one or two Pink films they'd appeared in. Though IMDb is pretty stingy about accepting it, I was able to add a little basic biographical data to the actress' entries when I could: Birthplace, height, and links to official and miscellaneous sites. With all the above work, I wound up with the highest ranking of my IMDb career: #48 on the list of top contributors for the year.













Sara Aikawa (L) & LUU (R) new Twitter acquaintances of mine

The biggest new event relevant to the blog would be my discovery, in early October, of the mighty resource that is Twitter. I'd heard about it, but thought it was just for teenaged girls sending each other giggly messages. Little did I realize what a valuable source it is for keeping up on the latest activities of my favorite personnel.


Mika Hoshima (L) & Masaki Amamiya (R) two more of my favorite ladies on Twitter

Surprisingly, the response from these people has been generally very positive and fun. Akira Takatsuki helped me with info on the Cinema Unit GAS releases, Sara Aikawa gave me an explanation of her nickname ("Batty"), and Miyabi Hayama, Mika Hoshima, and Masaki Amamiya have all been fun to chat with, in my broken Japanese...

Among the bad news of the year was the latest in my long-running series of computer disasters, which resulted in the (hopefully) temporary loss of all the data on my 4-terrabyte external hard drive. Videos, stills, screencaps, reviews, research, etc. are all unavailable to me now... I'm still in the process of trying to recover as much as I can before re-formatting it, and then wondering how much I can trust it, or WHAT is trust-worthy in digital formats... The loss of access to this material, which I've collected online for the past two decades, was a major set-back to posting at this blog, and dealt a major blow to my enthusiasm in working with computers at all.

My enthusiasm for this hobby waned considerably in the last couple months of last year. I'm not sure why-- It's not due to any battles with censors, drama-mongers, opinionated idiots, or other bureaucratic bone-headedness, which caused my departures from Wikipedia and Wikia. Maybe it was because of the computer/Internet disasters which strike so regularly, and result in so much lost/repeated work. Also, as I'm getting older, the desire to do something of my own-- rather than cataloguing the work of others-- becomes strong now and then... but it passes. Whether this work of my own will be writing, composing, or something else I've dabbled in in the past, I'm not sure. Maybe I just needed a temporary down-time before diving back into IMDb/Japanese/Korean stuff. I spent those months browsing around on the Internet, reading a lot (Steinbeck, Thomas Hardy, and now Haruki Murakami), watching a lot of movies (westerns, Pink, sci-fi, film noir), listening to a lot (Bach, Russian opera, Khachaturian, Sibelius...) in limbo between major projects.
Yûki Manaka & Tamaki Yasuoka in JUC-206... Coming to IMDb this year?

Anyway, last week I got back on track. It turns out I was just hungry for a new direction. A project I've had in the back of my mind for a long time now has been to start a BBW AV database similar to my two Pink film databases (Pre-1990 Pink Film Archive and Pink Film Archive). I've got both Pink Film archives full and stable enough that I'm just adding things when I come across them now. Every month when the new Pink releases are announced, I identify, translate and upload them within half an hour. My goal for the new BBW AV database will be the same: Upload all the old ones I already know, get a good, solid representation of the Busty/BBW genre throughout in JAV history, then get the system honed so that whenever I come across a new VHS or DVD cover, I can upload it and identifying information, in proper chronological order, within a couple minutes.
Tamaki Yasuoka in SND-25, now at IMDb & in my JAV Archive

Like with the other databases, they would function as informational displays of images on their own (though, unfortunately, they get very little traffic), but they would also serve their IMDb pages by linking to the corresponding Picasaweb image (my Picasaweb Pink film folders do get a lot of traffic). A complete Pink film database project is impossible enough. Attempting a complete AV one would be insane. Instead I'll just focus on the busty/BBW genre (even that will be impossible enough), linking the cover images to the videos/DVDs I've added to IMDb, and creating IMDb listings for the significant ones that aren't already there.

Early Japanese BBW favorite, Yôko Koizumi in FDS-17, both now at IMDb!

To get my feet wet, figure out what would work well, and set up a format, I started on a smaller series: the 62 JAMS SND- DVDs. Once I was able to get adding these DVDs down to a quick and efficient process, I took up a more challenging series, the early BBW VHS "Horny Fat Woman" tapes, FDS-. These were more difficult because they often don't name their models, and the exact release dates aren't known. I worked out some ways of compensating for this. I don't think a series like this-- all unknown/amateurs-- needs to be at IMDb (though unlike Wikipedia, I would not stand in the way of anyone who wanted to do the work to add them), but I did submit the two tapes which had major early BBW stars. This means that the incredible BBW pioneers Yôko Koizumi and Anna Watarai are now listed at IMDb! This has inspired me to spend the year in deep research into BBW/busty JAV, making entries for as many as I can at this archive, and starting entries for most of them at IMDb.

Usagi Minagi (& Tamaki Yasuoka) in KBKD-534 - coming to IMDb this year!

So, in a nutshell, 2015 is going to be The Year of the BBW JAV!: The new database will keep me busy, and I'll be spreading the joy of Japanese BBW-dom by adding the data and linking the images to IMDb. I'll also continue maintaining Pink film blog/IMDb entries at a slower pace than previous years, and posts at this blog will probably continue to be skimpy throughout the year... certainly until I'm able to recover my external hard disk data. With this long-contemplated JAV database started, the only other future project I am thinking about is a Personnel database, giving images and biographical data on Actresses, Directors, and anyone else I can track down who works in the Pink and/or JAV fields... In my silence here, you can follow me at Twitter where I will continue quick tweets on my favorite subjects: JAV, Pink films, cult films, music, my viewing & listening activities, new discoveries, etc. as well as to see me flirt with some of our favorite Japanese BBW models in my poor Japanese.

Tamaki Yasuoka: BOBB-024

BOBB-024
Tonight's video review gives us a chance to revisit one of the grande dames of the Japanese BBW genre, and possibly my favorite model of all time: the legendary Tamaki Yasuoka. This is one of Môsozoku / ABC's BOBB Boin Box videos. I started an article on it at Boobpedia way back in April 2009 as Boin "Tamaki Yasuoka" Box. At that time I was announcing the impending release of this item, which came out on May 1, 2009. Now, some five years later, this DVD's page at the official site is a dead link, and even Amazon doesn't list it as available currently. If it is indeed out of print, this 90-minutes of BBW bliss should be considered a classic in the history of the pocchari/busty genre of Japanese adult cinema.
Boin "Tamaki Yasuoka" Box
Tamaki Yasuoka was still a fresh and newly-debuted model when this video came out. As-- ahem-- IMDb notes, she debuted in 2009-- a mere three months before the release of this video-- in Chubby Mature Women: Tamaki Yasuoka * Remi (February 2009). Apparently she had appeared in at least one video released a couple days before that one, but her face was mostly hidden, and she was not identified by name yet-- perhaps it was made before she had completely decided to pursue an AV career. (Note: Forest of Breast has some clips of tonight's review video. Also, JAV Library is an excellent resource for information on ohard-to-view JAVs-- particularly the "Comments section"... if you get my drift... hint, hint...)

Content (Warning: Spoilers!)

"123cm M-cups," you say?!
There is a short pre-title sequence which previews the scenes to come in the video. After this comes what appears to be the traditional AV interview, which would mark this as an AV in the classic mode. This is the type of material for which my newly-discovered subtitle-making technique would be valuable, but it's also in depth enough that my skimpy Japanese prevents me from either fully understanding or translating it. Needless to say, Tamaki-san's boobs are a major part of the conversation. The interviewer is so shocked at Tamaki's answer that she's a 123cm M-cup that he has to hear it again to make sure his ears aren't deceiving him.
Let's check this M-cup claim!
But seeing-- and feeling-- is believing. I took the headphones off at this point, since I wasn't getting most of the conversation, and the images were of more interest than the script. So I'm not sure if this opening segment is literally an old-fashioned pre-action interview, or if it's supposed to be a doctor interviewing a patient. The interviewer is dressed in white, and much of the rest of the video has a hospital theme.
Tamaki-san patiently endures thorough, modern medical investigative techniques.
A very, very thorough breast examination follows. What guy hasn't thought that this would be a dream job? But all joking aside-- ladies, remember to get your boobs checked often, and gentlemen, make sure that your ladies do get them checked! OK, now, back to the joking...
Off with the white bra... pay attention, this is important!
At about eight minutes, Tamaki is fully clothed again, apparently just so that we can see her disrobe and put on new attire. The audience, through the director's skillful camera work, lovingly gazes at her doffing a white bra to done a purple one, and the extensive and meticulous adjustment of her capacious boob-flesh into their new confines.
...and on with the purple bra: Keep that in mind...
Now, I don't want to spoil anybody's enjoyment of this narrative, but a key plot point comes into play here. The attentive eye will note here that our lovely lady takes off a white bra, and puts on a purple one. Just bear that in mind, because it becomes important later on.
These ABC videos focus on big-boob girls, by which they generally mean skinny girls with larger-than-average, but not humongous, busts.
Mitsumi Nanao is one of the few other BBW models to appear for this series. A hint of Tamaki-san's future role as an icon of the Japanese BBW genre is hinted at when she takes just a little extra time to squeeze her hefty tummy into her jeans.
Getting into the new garb takes a good fives minutes. Other than the pleasure of seeing her change, this is all wasted time however, because the old doc sets about double-checking those boobs, just in case he missed something... Once the outer garment is opened, a continuity error can be detected: Tamaki-san put on a purple bra in the previous scene, but now she's got on a white bra! Oh well. If we can forgive Ozu such things, we can forgive the anonymous director of this splendid little boob-fetish video...
You're sure a half an hour of this is absolutely necessary, doctor?
The doctor, nothing if not thorough, surveys that vast acreage of beautiful boobery with a precision of a man who is truly concerned with maintaining a healthy crop. Better safe than sorry!
At seventeen minutes in, Tamaki-san is again, suddenly, clothed, sitting on the doc's lap, while he continues this marathon breast exam from behind. A guess a patient of this magnitude requires extra care. A precursory disrobing reveals that it's the white bra again... what happened to the purple one?!
The manual examination takes up about twenty two minutes of video time. Then comes the oral inspection. Strictly in the name of medical thoroughness, of course. Surprisingly, this concluding portion of the exam takes only five minutes. Personally, I'd have spent much more time examining the boobs orally than manually... but, to be honest, my medical expertise is quite limited...
Tamaki-san has apparently passed the exam, which turns out NOT to have been a screening for breast cancer, but-- surprise!-- an INTERVIEW for a nurse position! I don't know if this was made obvious by the dialogue or not, since I removed the headphones long before this point. The scene immediately cuts to nurse Tamaki ministering to a patient. First, her raw motherly attentions are sufficient for the patient's rehabilitation.
Nurse Tamaki then comes up with a motherly method of administrating medication. Keep your spoonful of sugar, this helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way!
The patient's strength recovers dramatically during a more direct application of this enjoyable form of physical therapy. He eagerly and vigorously absorbs the healing powers of Nurse Tamaki's boobs.
A follow-up session involves a hand-job and paizuri cheerfully conducted by the new nurse. She works the poison out of the system of the furiously engorged organ. Once the sap has been drawn, the nurse proudly displays the fruits of her labor.
New Nurse Tamaki seems to be making the rounds of the ward, since she immediately visits another patient in need of boob therapy. And here we finally get another look of the elusive purple bra... But wait... it's a different purple bra! Where did that come from?!
While Nurse Yasuoka provides another patient with a feast of her boob-flesh, the cameraman provides the audience's with another feast for the eyes. One hopes that the hospital's sanitation regulations ensure that Tamaki-san washed the previous patient's cum off her tits before again administering medication in the boob-to-mouth fashion.
As with the previous patient, she moves on to a handjob, but this time with boobs applied as a healing compress to the face, rather than directly to the dick. Whatever the lad's ailment, we can be confident that this is most assuredly not a case in which the remedy is worse than the disease.
Let's pause here for a moment to admire the hidden artistry involved in the staging and the framing of this scene. I have had cause to complain lately about paizuri scenes in AVs in which, because the man's member needs to be blurred out due to Japanese censorship regulations, the audience's view of the lady's charms is harmed. In fact, in one recently-reviewed BBW video, three very large ladies were partially hidden by pixels just so we would not see one average-sized dick. Talk about throwing out the baby with the bath water! But here we have the guy's dick in full view while Tamaki works on it-- for those of you who wish to see that-- or at least as full a view as Japanese censorship allows. Yet because of the expert staging and framing, the view of the lady herself is not affected in the slightest. We have a full view of Tamaki's motherly face and bosom, and a full view of the censored out stimulation of the male member at the same time. John Ford couldn't have done better! Bravo, Mr. Director!
At 53 minutes, we get a new scene. Tamaki and her beau are in bed. He plays with her boobs while clothed, then unfurls those mighty orbs for some more in-your-face action.
Tamaki lies on her back for some more play and some boob-flopping-- one of Tamaki's signature moves-- is seen for the first time in this video.
At two-thirds into the video, we get the first indications that things may take a turn for the hardcore. Up until now, this could practically have been a softcore boob-only video. Here, the guy pulls off Tamaki-san's panties and begins fingering her cutely-trimmed snatch, causing more boob-bouncing.
Once the lady is sufficiently moistened, penetration is achieved, and we, the audience, benefit by a view of even more boob-bouncery.
Tamaki then takes the driver's seat, leading us to anticipate one of her earliest cowgirl scenes. And we are not disappointed. Lord, how that girl can BOUNCE!
A doggy-style session concludes this bout of sex with some even more spectacular boob-flopping from Tamaki-san.
At about 1 hour and five minutes, Tamaki-san is seated and clothed, ready to undergo another physical check-up. This time it seems the doctor is concerned with Ms. Yasuoka's heart... which is conveniently located under her boobs, necessitating more inspection and manipulation of that area of her anatomy. Judging from the way she jumps and jiggles, that stethoscope must be cold! This repetition of the physical check-up scene only lasts about 10 minutes.
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the titties of war!
The final fifteen minutes is an abstract boob-play scenario. Against a back-drop of black curtain, Tamaki-san starts out in a bikini, while one guy sprays oil on her boobs, and another massages them from behind. Sure enough, the bikini top comes off, and the massage continues.
......I refused to be a boob, dancing on the strings.......
After seven minutes or so, a rope comes out to tote dat barge and lift dat bale to our visual delight.
We get a few glimpses of the puppetmaster, but mostly the camera shows us just what we want to see: That goddess, Tamaki Yasuoka, as she passively allows her tits to dance around beyond her control in this booby bunraku.
A quick two-minutes shower wraps up this visit with the tantalizing Tamaki-san. The awe-inspiring volume of Tamaki's boobs can be marveled at in this scene while she rubs and scrubs and flops them around with her arms. They're so huge yet so full, not saggy at all. Truly stupendous natural wonders.
 It's time to go, 'til our next show, goodbye from us to you!
A sweet smile from our lady tells us it's all over for now. But you can rest assured that Japanese BBW fans who happened on this video in 2009 eagerly sought out more releases from Tamaki Yasuoka.

Discussion

Tamaki-san acts properly shy and demure during the interview/examination scenes. This is not because she is actually shy and demure, but because she's a naturally fine actress for the JAV genre, and showing us so even at this early stage of her video career. She would later go on to play more dramatically meaty MILF/incest roles. AV is fine for raw sexual stimulation, but it's really a shame the Pink Film industry has not put this gorgeous, talented lady to use in one of their artistically higher-quality productions. As of this writing, the lady seems to have lost a lot of weight. Though she's still spectacular, she doesn't quite have the same magic now as she did back when she had a few extra kilograms.
I'm just joking around when I complain about the discontinuity involving the purple bra(s), of course. But, without sacrificing any boob ogling at all, just a little bit of low-cost planning, scripting, or editing would have lent a coherent story to this video, and bumped it up a notch in quality. The "playing doctor" theme is a common, and appealing one, and all of the scenes could have been arranged in some sort of narrative order. Even the abstract titty-puppets in a dark room act at the end could fit in as some sort of Coen Brothers/David Lynch-like dream or fantasy sequence.
The two stars of this production
As it is, this is a modest little production which succeeds admirably in modest goal: Displaying Tamaki Yasuoka's amazing bosom. Except for one sex scene, we see boob play, and nothing but boob play. And oh, what boobs they are! Huge but firm, Tamaki-san, just a mere 37-years old, is apparently still in the virginal hatsu-homban period of her early AV career. The director could have shown us the gorgeous butt or legs that we know she has, but the camera remains focused entirely on her boobs. No complaints with that, but still... yah know?...
It's unfortunate that the director of this video is unknown, because his work here deserves high praise. His name is not listed at websites describing the item, on the video cover, or in the non-existent video credits. This video is perfectly framed from beginning to end, giving us full-on, excellent looks at our topic of interest: Tamaki Yasuoka and her big old titties. So many videos fail to deliver because of bad camerawork, but this one does not. A distorting lens used slightly, but not enough that I even notice it until looking at stills. The camera moves around enough to give us a variety of angles, but is not hyper-active. And, though there are a lot of close-ups on her boobs, her face is not at all ignored. We get to enjoy the full lady for a solid 90 minutes. This is one of those videos where I took way, way too many screenshots during the viewing for this review-- over 1,750! I'll have plenty of visual material to illustrate Tamaki Yasuoka posts from now 'til Kingdom Come!

Final Opinion

Model: Tamaki Yasuoka, 37-years young, plump and feisty. The toppermost of the poppermost! 11 out of 10.

Video: This hot little item gives us 90-minutes of non-stop, breath-taking views of one of the-- if not the-- greatest of all Japanese BBW models, at the beginning of her MILF career. Later on, Tamaki-san filled out a little more weight-wise, and other videos show more of the overall package-- the incredible ass and legs this girl has. For that sin of omission, and the missed opportunity of giving this just a little bit of narrative interest, I can't call it a 10. But this still must be considered one of the corner-stones in the video collection of any Asian BBW-admirer. 9 stars out of 10.
