Since today's film features a lunar theme, I thought this would be a good chance to travel to some of the lushest lunar surfaces of the great Japanese Adult Video industry. We start our journey with a visit to one of our favorite models, pleasing whether approached from the front or from the rear:
Karen Toudou. We find this moon-shot in the
JAMS DVD, translated at English sites as
Super Big Boin (唾ぐちゅボイン妻 むちコス発情勃起喰い 藤堂カレン; VOL-02; January 2010).
The morning's
Boobpedia session was pretty frustrating. I had planned to start two or three bios, but when the first one was ready to post, I found out she already had an article under a different stage name. I merged the two, then found out she had a THIRD alias, with an article for that name too... I was still sleepy, and got things screwed up in creating the merges, the redirects, etc. Not a very good start to the day... I finished cleaning up the mess in the afternoon, then spent the rest of that 20-minute session doing a little category work. Above left we find another perennial favorite,
Tamaki Yasuoka. This full lunar shot comes again courtesy of the fine folks at JAMS from the DVD
Super Class M-Cup! Lusty Wife Working Overtime (SND-25, October 2009).
My
IMDb report for the day is accompanied by a fine lunar probe of
IZM's
Erika, at right, from
152cm!! Super Huge Tits (ICD-165; October 2011). I only submitted two new films to IMDb today:
Ranjuku Joshidaisei (乱熟女子大生,
Genji Nakamura, Genji Production / Million Films, 1979-05-08) and
Ryôshoku okashizuma (猟色犯し妻,
Giichi Nishihara, Shintoho Company, 1979-09).
The following recent IMDb submissions have now gone live:
Nuresugita mesuneko (
Banmei Takahashi, 1979);
Chikan yokochô joshi ryô mae (
Tadashi Yoyogi, 1978);
Chikan waisetsu kôen (
Minoru Inao, 1978);
Chikan saishû densha (Minoru Inao, 1978-- waiting one cast member verification)
Chikan kakueki teisha: Ossan nani surun'ya (Minoru Inao, 1978-- which my Japanese poster book translates as "What the Hell Are You Doing, You Old Geezer?!");
Chikan genkôhan (by the man the Weissers honor as "Japan's Sleaziest Director":
Giichi Nishihara, 1978);
Blue film no onna: Chissoku (
Genji Nakamura, 1978); and
Sex semi dokyumento: Renzoku fujo bôkôma (
Seiji Izumi, 1975).
The evenings B-movie fun brought another sci-fi flick my way:
Crash of Moons (1954), for which we can thank the lunar theme of today's post. Not a theatrical release, this one had been stitched together from three episodes of the early TV space-opera,
Rocky Jones, Space Ranger. The show was quite the big-budget production in its day, for TV, inspiring a hefty publicity and merchandizing campaign, as attested to by
this website. Also it was mocked by that
Mystery Science Theater show-- which I dislike. The fact that they release that show on DVD
without the option of seeing the films on their own, without the jokes and insulting commentary shows the condescending arrogance that goes into the making of it.
The special effects are actually rather charming and the way they are photographed is very atmospheric. For some reason they put me in mind of both the outer-space shots in
Eraserhead (1977), and the early scenes of the Space Counsels on the Emerald Planet in the Japanese
Super Giant series. The only complaint I have against these special effects is that they are just inserted between the real "action" of the film, which consists mostly of people seated at desks or control panels, talking. Still, it's better than having nothing but sitting at desks talking without the added special effects, which I believe was the style of the other early TV space-operas.
The leader of one of the moons was none other than
Sgt. Schutz himself, 15 years younger and dozens of pounds thinner:
John Banner. He was fun to see in a different role, but he seemed just a bit too... nice to be a leader. Supposedly he played evil Nazi bastards in WWII-era films, which I just cannot picture-- I'll have to seek out one of those films. He really found his place in loveable, bumbling old Schultz.
Patsy Parsons as Cleolanta, the leader of the other moon, is just the opposite-- shrill, illogically stubborn, petty-- probably a sexist stereotype, I guess, but there are plenty of people of both sexes who act pretty much that way... Anyway,
Crash of Moons gets a respectable Five stars out of Ten from me. And here it is, available for all humanity to view for free at the
Internet Archive.
And we conclude our survey of the great moons of Japanese Adult Video with a double siting of what is purported to be the largest lunar surface in the entire industry:
Sara Aikawa.
Above left we see her assets bursting the clothing which struggles to contain her vast hemispheres. And on the right, her lunar orbs descend in their full glory, setting on her partner. Both sitings are from her April 2012 DVD for
IZM,
Chô shiri nikukai (超尻肉塊167cm; ICD-182).
