Pan Takes - August 2025 Vol 1 - Aya Onami, Yu Tano and Yui Hatano

Busty collabs are the centerpiece of this month it seems. There are several to choose from, but the most hyped-up one has to be Haru Minami and Himari. Pairing up two big-titty actresses like this should be a recipe for success. But who knows? Aside from that, we got some POV with Yui Hatano and a fan thanksgiving entry starring the bubbly Yu Tano. As always I'll review each film and cap it off with an overall score at the end. Without further ado, let's dive in!

Oh boy. For all my fellow big titty lovers, this was perhaps the most hyped up film of the year. Two busty bombshells together in a cross-studio collab. Could this possibly live up to the legacy of MIRD-150? That answer is sadly no. There's no plot to speak of here, really. It's a very straightforward gonzo collaboration film. A few scenes incorporate a slight theme such as nurse, soapland, and dominatrix but it's very minor. I have no issues with that as MIRD-150 was vanilla too but turned out to be my GOAT film. The difference is in the execution. The biggest offense in play here has to be the lighting. Where do I start? For one thing, every single scene is lit the exact same way which leads to a feeling of repetition. And it doesn't help at all that the lighting itself is terrible. It's way too damn bright to the point where it feels like you're getting flashbanged. There's just no depth to it and it all just blends together. What a horrible decision. The rest of the production values fare reasonably well with decent camerawork and I especially loved the use of POV in the nurse scene.

Their wardrobe contains a few nice outfits too and overall they do look great, whenever you can see them. Another downside that was expected sadly is the lack of girl-on-girl interaction. There are a few light moments here and there but it's nothing noteworthy. The chemistry between them was lacking too. Individually, they're both fine at least with decent enthusiasm and lots of teasing. The action does fare pretty well though with three sex scenes and two paizuri scenes. The duo is together for every scene which is nice and we get multiple real cumshots(in this economy? shocker!). Most of the scenes are pretty satisfying with my highlight being the POV nurse scene. It's easily the biggest standout here. Every scene also features their huge tits front and center which is nice. So where does this leave MIRD-259? It's a very frustrating watch sadly. The action itself is perfectly solid and they both look amazing together. However, the chemistry is lacking and the lighting is just awful with it being painfully bright. Tone it down a few notches and it would make a world of difference. As it is, it's a fine collab but had potential to be a top 10 of the year contender.

Overall Rating - 7.5/10

The first collab of this month was a relative disappointment so here's hoping this one fares a bit better. The plot is rather interesting as it casts this duo as two female news anchors who are trying to help out a struggling station. They offer up deals and offers in exchange for playing with their tits such as having sex with a gym owner to get him to sponsor the network. It's all fairly amusing and leads to some nice variety in scenarios. This innate variety is what sets this collab apart from MIRD-259. Every scene features a different setting, wardrobe, and lighting setup. It really helps each scene stand out and keeps the film feeling fresh. There's no overly bright lighting here, thankfully, as many scenes utilize some nice shading to highlight their chest brilliantly. I also appreciated the use of POV in a few of the scenes. Now much like the previous collab I mentioned, there's next to zero interaction between the duo sadly.

They rub their tits together here and there but that's all you get. It's no surprise though overall. Their performances individually is a different story. This is my first time watching Rea and I'm not too impressed. I may do a First Impressions post later on for a more in-depth look but for now, she seems pretty mediocre. She seems to be very one-note with the same expression and energy level for the whole film. Noa, on the other hand, is far better. She's just such good vibes all throughout with very cheerful expressions and upbeat enthusiasm. The action is great too with three sex scenes and two paizuri scenes. Both tittyfuck scenes center around each actress respectively and end in a real cumshot which is always appreciated. The sex scenes fare just as nice with each actress receiving an equal amount of screentime with a solid array of positions. The end result is one of the better collabs of the year. It's all about the execution and CAWD-868 delivers.

Overall Rating - 9/10

Can never go wrong with more Yui. The setup for this one centers around ASMR, JOI, and POV. There's no actual theming to the scenes whatsoever, as they're all extremely straightforward. Some sort of scenarios would've been nice to mix things up. I'm also not a huge fan of ASMR as it does nothing for me and JOI can be decent but a lot of it is lost on me due to not speaking Japanese. Now perhaps my biggest annoyance with the whole film has to be the camerawork. It's all POV which is nice but many angles are just close-up shots of her face which gets very tiresome. It's particularly frustrating when she's riding cowgirl and instead of showing off her body, they zoom in on her face. It's not all bad as there are still some quality angles but overall it's still the film's worst offense. At least the rest of the production values are solid.

The settings are decently varied and the lighting looks exceptional. The sex scenes especially, are lit to near perfection. Speaking of which, let's talk about the action next. It consists of two sex scenes, a blowjob scene, a handjob scene, and a paizuri/blowjob scene. Unfortunately, most of the non-sex scenes are all a miss for me. The obnoxious close-up shots and fake cumshots really ruin them personally. Not to mention the handjob scene ending with a male squirting bit in POV makes for an unpleasant experience. Both sex scenes fare much better. The position variety is very solid with a nice mix of cowgirl and doggystyle to highlight her huge booty. Again though, the camera angles can be mildly frustrating. One consistent thing is Yui's performance. She's as reliable as always. Good eye contact, very engaging, and brimming with enthusiasm. MIAB-520 ultimately makes for a frustrating watch as the ingredients are there for a banger but the execution leaves you a bit unfufilled.

Overall Rating - 7.8/10

This is a genius idea on paper but does it succeed in practice? Not entirely. The premise is as described with Aya playing a fitness instructor who gets a little too hands-on with her clients after a few sessions. It's a simple but mostly satisfying concept as seeing Aya Onami in tight leggings makes for some utterly insane booty eyecandy. It's easily the biggest highlight of the entire video. Watching Aya do a series of yoga poses is mesmerizing and showcases her amazing flexibility wonderfully. Unfortunately, the lower budget here does hurt the film a bit. There's only one singular setting through the entire video and the lighitng is just the same. Any kind of variety would've been nice as it this just makes the whole film feel repetitive as a result. The action is up next which is mildly frustrating.

It only features two sex scenes for the entire video both with a similar setup although one is shot in POV. Each scene takes a good while to get going thanks to a lot of foreplay and fluff. Some of it is definitely enjoyable but it does get old after awhile. It doesn't help that all the cumshots are fake too and look quite lousy at that. The actual sex is decent but nothing too noteworthy with some hit-or-miss camerawork. There isn't much to say about her performance really. She's just average at best. I would've liked to have seen her take a more proactive approach. Her enthusiasm is fine enough but nothing here left a strong impression at all. XVSR-827 makes for some stellar eyecandy but lacks a proper budget to make the most of it with middling action to boot.

Overall Rating - 7.7/10

It seems this is the month of collabs as we have yet another one lined up. The premise centers around a guy whose new stepsisters are "NEETs" and slobs who are very sexually curious. One day Yumi catches him spying on her while she's masturbating so she decides to have some fun with him. The same goes for Suzu when she notices him staring at her sweaty tits. The rest of the film unfolds in typical JAV fashion. I enjoyed this setup mainly because this duo are a perfect fit for this role. Their frumpy appearance, wardrobe, and hairstyling are spot-on. Now I've never seen Suzu Aikawa before but she looked great as well. She's a perfect complement to Yumi given her thickness and bust. The rest of the production values are pretty decent. The lighting can be a little samey but it does look solid at least. I do wish there was a bit more variety in the settings though as all the sex scenes take place in the same room.

Speaking of which, let's talk action. The film consists of two one-on-one sex scenes with each actress respectively, a threesome sex scene, a paizuri scene, and then two blowjob/paizuri scenes. One bummer is that the pair are only on-screen together for two scenes. Both of said scenes are great but it's still a waste. The solo sex scenes are nice although nothing really stands out to set them apart. The copious fake cumshots are a letdown too. There's also very little interaction between the pair which is sadly par for the course. Performance wise I can't say a whole lot. With little time together on screen, their chemistry never really develops enough. Individually, Yumi fared the best between two with good energy and more engaging facial expressions. Suzu was relatively one-note with just one level and similar expressions for most of the film. Not horrible but not amazing. FJIN-089 is still an enjoyable film but the actual "collab" execution leaves something to be desired.

Overall Rating - 8/10

The fan thanksgiving genre is one of my personal favorites so I was eager to give this a watch. Yu's bubbly personality should make a great fit for it. But does it succeed in practice? Let's find out. The premise is straightforward enough as it follows Yu going around and picking up "random" guys to take back and have sex with. They'll often censor their faces to make it seem more realistic and to be fair, I don't really recognize any of them so it does help make it a bit more believable. But we still know it's staged to some degree obviously. I loved this setup so I got no complaints here. And her performance deserves equal praise all around. Her facial expresssions are so vibrant and light up the room everytime, especially in combination with her big ol' puppy dog eyes. And her excitable enthusiasm is amazing as well. Yu's naturally bubbly personality is on full display here and it's a joy to watch. When we get to the action though, the wheels start to come off just a bit.

It consists of two one-on-one sex scenes, a foursome sex scene, a handjob scene, a paizuri scene, and a scene where a group of guys cum on her tits before ending in a tittyfuck. That last scene in particular is easily the most frustrating. It utilizes one of the worst-looking fake cumshots I've ever seen. It's so bad that it looks like wood glue. The rest of the cumshots there appear real but it does ruin the scene and the ending tittyfuck is pretty mediocre. The foursome sex scene is also rather forgettable which is unfortunate. The other scenes are all solid but nothing really stood out in particular. The production values fare about the same. The settings are all just fine at best. They fit the theme reasonably well at least. The lighting is decent enough all throughout, although a little more variety would've been nice. SONE-840 is an ultimately great watch that should please fans of this genre and diehard Yu Tano heads. It's not entirely perfect but Yu's lively personality really helps carry it.

Overall Rating - 8.5/10

That's a pretty great cover right there. Even better that the video lives up to it. The plot revolves around a guy who uses Noa as a "friend with benefits" and is freely able to fondle her tits and even fuck her whenever he wants to. The premise is mostly a non-factor and isn't that important overall. It doesn't really go anywhere except for in the last scene when he invites his friend over for a threesome with her. While the setup may be forgettable, the action certainly isn't. It primarily features the aforementioned threesome sex scene, a one-on-one sex scene, and two paizuri scenes. Now I do want to get my biggest negative out of the way which is that 90% of the cumshots are fake sadly. It's a big letdown, especially for the tittyfuck scenes. There's also some fluff in-between the scenes that isn't too interesting such as when you and she are peeing in the toilet together, among other little unnecessary moments. This being said, the two sex scenes are both outstanding.

They're both equally meaty and boast a wealth of different positions and angles. Perhaps even better are the production values. The lighting easily deserves the most praise as it's simply flawless. This director knows what he's doing. His use of shading is remarkable and excellently highlights her chest and curves. Not to mention I loved the added water and body oil effect to give her body a nice glitzen. Her hair and makeup are on point too. Sometimes the camera angles can be a little too close up but it's a small nitpick. Lastly, we have Noa's performance. She's not bad but I wasn't too impressed. Granted, she's not really given much to work with as she's mostly just a fuck doll. She does shine a bit during the tittyfuck scenes where she's a bit more lively and engaging. I do love how she drools during the sex scenes. It's a small but appreciated touch. In the end, I can confidently say this is one of her best films of the year. Just amazing eyecandy from start to finish.

Wanna enjoy some Rin Hachimitsu in glorious POV? Then look no further, as this is just for you. FNS-092 is all about ASMR, JOI(jerk off instructions) and a bunch of dirty talk. Some scenes feature some minor plot theming such as having her play your girlfriend, a massuse, and a nurse just to name a few. This does help keep the film from getting stale and makes each scene stand out. However, I'm not really a fan of ASMR or JOI. A large reason for that here is because I don't understand Japanese so it's all lost on me. It's such a key element of the video too so it's rather unfortunate. The execution as a whole is also quite frustrating. One reason why is the camerawork. Several shots either break that POV immersion or are taken from an unsatisfying angle. This is mainly when she leans into the viewers' ears to whisper to you. It does nothing for me. I like the variety of settings, lighting, and outfits though.

The action is another factor that is a letdown. It consists of two sex scenes, two handjob scenes, a paizuri scene, and a JOI type scene where she jerks you off. That scene is just a complete waste of time and goes nowhere. The two handjob scenes utilize a nice setup but it's JUST a medicore handjob shot from some pretty shoddy angles. The tittyfuck isn't bad but her tits aren't the most equipped for it. The two sex scenes are decent enough with a solid amount of positions. One annoying quirk though is that the actor in the last sex scene is too "grabby" with her chest. Someone tell this dude to get his grubby mitts off her tits. Her performance is fine, albeit nothing to write home about. I liked her facial expressions but her enthusiasm doesn't quite reach the high that you want to see. Your mileage will definitely vary with this film. If you love ASMR/JOI-type themes, then this is certainly up your alley. But if you're like me and aren't a huge fan of it, then it just makes for an okay watch. Some better action and angles would've gone a long way.
