Pan Takes - July 2025 Vol 1 - Ichika Matsumoto, Jun Suehiro and Ren Gojo

Another new month is here with plenty of JAV goodness to enjoy. You can expect to see several staple actresses of mine in this post such as the busty Himari and thick Yuria Yoshine but also a surprise or two. Ichika landed as an exclusive with Moodyz this month and I decided to check out her first new film under them. As always, I'll review each film and cap it off with a final score at the end. Without further ado, let's dive in!

Himari has quickly become a regular for these doujinshi adaptations. I haven't been too impressed by any of them so far but perhaps this one can buck that trend. The plot centers around a guy meeting his girlfriend's relatives for the first time. He's surprised to learn that her mama is his "sugar mama" from his student days who helped support him financially in exchange for sex. Now that they're reunited, old feelings soon flare back up in typical JAV fashion. I honestly wasn't that keen on this setup. Himari is a good fit for this role but I was hoping for more risky sex personally. The film does faithfully adapt every scene from the manga while also fleshing out each one. The film starts to fall apart for me though once we get to the execution. For example, the last two scenes use the exact same lighting setup and setting.

It doesn't help that the scene is way too bright and flat which doesn't do Himari's juicy figure any favors. The room is pretty bland too but at least she does sport different outfits with the second scene featuring a nice lingerie piece. The action doesn't fare much better. There's only two cumshots in the whole film with one being laughably fake. The position variety can be a bit frustrating, especially in the first scene as there's a lot of close contact which combined with the middling camerawork results in some pretty unsatisfying shots. Himari's performance was also nothing special. She has some decent moments but overall there's not much to rave about. Her facial expressions and enthusiasm can be a real mixed bag. This was sadly another miss for me. Maybe eventually Moodyz will get the recipe right for a Himari doujinshi adaptation. The 3rd time is not the charm.

Ichika has just become a Moodyz exclusive and her first film is shot by none other than Nao Masaki. This sounds like a winning recipe on paper and for the most part, it is. The premise tasks Ichika with visiting various "fans" in their homes. Each date starts out innocently enough with them enjoying a meal together or playing games before diving into sexual intercourse, as you'd expect. I definitely recognize some of these guys as amateur actors so the plot belief is a little weak. No surprise there honestly but it's okay as the big draw for a fan appreciation film is just getting to see the actress be themselves. And Ichika really makes the most of it as she knocks her performance out of the park. Her cheerful, bubbly personality is on full display here. She's always brimming with enthusiasm and that smile of hers is so infectious. It was even fun watching her goof around with the guys before the actual scenes started.

I've never been a diehard Ichika fan but she's easily one of the best natural performers in the industry right now and this performance demonstrates that in spectacular fashion. The action isn't half bad either, consisting of three sex scenes and a blowjob/handjob scene. That scene was pretty nice as she sports this anime cosplay outfit that she famously wore for another video years ago. I loved how she took control in that scene too. All the sex scenes are equally great although as I eluded to earlier, there is a fair amount of setup for each one. It does end up bloating the runtime to nearly four hours but most of it is still enjoyable thanks to Ichika being Ichika. Each scene does enough to stand out on its own, too, keeping things feeling somewhat fresh. The outfits and lighting all have a decent variety to them and the camerawork is on point. MIDV-133 makes for a brilliant Moodyz debut and one of my all-time favorite Ichika films. Let's hope she keeps this rolling!

Noa Haruna is bringing back the mask meta in style. This film features no plot whatsoever. The focus instead is on the various cowprint outfits and masks as Noa plays a more submissive role overall. Your enjoyment of this film will largely depend on your feelings surrounding the masks. I HATE the traditional black gimp masks so I fully expected to loathe the cow print ones here but strangely enough, I didn't mind them as much. It really gives new meaning to the phrase "cow tits". I would still prefer her to be unmasked of course but I can at least tolerate it. I do love the cow print slingkini though. Now performance wise there isn't much to say. Her facial expressions are a complete nonfactor with the mask and otherwise, she's just submissive the entire time.

She plays the part of being a cow-print sex doll with huge tits as well as you can, I guess. This brings me to the action which is a mixed bag. It consists of two sex scenes with one being a foursome, a group blowjob scene, and a masturbation/stimulation scene where the guys use several vibrators on her. That scene is honestly a complete skip. It's dull and doesn't go anywhere. The blowjob is pretty lame too but the sex scenes are both decent. The slingkini frames her chest very nicely in the first sex scene and I loved the body oil used in the foursome scene. I'm also a big fan of her seemingly putting more weight on. Those tits are getting bigger and better. I surprisingly enjoyed this film more than I thought I would. The cow print aesthetic was oddly kinda hot.

I'm pretty sure at this point Yuria is on Moodyz's payroll to just do doujinshi adaptations every single month. I'm not complaining as the results are usually positive. This here adapts a work titled "Mainichi Okaa-san de Seiyoku Shori! Onaho Gawari no Hahaoya ni Tairyou Nakadashi Hen". It follows a guy whose grades are slipping due to being distracted by his urges, so his step-mama offers to help relieve him through offering sex with the promise that he'll study afterwards. I really loved this setup despite its simplicity when it comes to the action(more on that later). Yuria is such a perfect fit to play the juicy milf role. Now performance wise I can't say too much as she's relegated to being just a sex dummy. She spends the majority of the film on all fours and is entirely submissive. This does suit the plot so it makes sense at least. The simplicity of the film does extend to the production values but it's not for the worse.

The setting is the same throughout the whole film which is a bummer. However, the lighting is excellent and complements the mood of the film wonderfully. Not only that but the dimmer lighting really accentuates her thick curves very well. Her wardrobe is equally simple but I do like that she keeps her shirt on and pulled up as it helps to frame her chest. Now we get to the real meat of the video, the action. It's a bit difficult to get a proper scene count as the first third of the film is a series of brief sex scenes. The last two-thirds are two full-length sex scenes. The primary position used is obviously doggystyle but we do get some missionary and cowgirl in the second half which is nice. I also loved the part where her husband calls while she's currently getting fucked. The constant fake creampies do get tiresome though. Yuria's doujinshi adaptations can often be hit or miss but this one definitely hits the spot. Great plot, terrific lighting, and amazing doggystyle action. A fun watch all around.

Here we have Jun Suehiro's first-ever interracial film and the plot involves her getting into an affair with some baseball players...oh no. That's right, the premise involves her cheating on her husband with some black baseball players who have stopped by her bar to enjoy a drink. She soon finds herself unable to resist the temptation of the BBC and begins lusting over them. It's a pretty cheeky setup given her recent-ish drama. The premise itself I feel rather neutral on as I like interracial but don't care much for cheating/NTR stuff. The action is always a key aspect to any IR films and here it's a somewhat mixed bag. It consists of two sex scenes with one being a threesome, a blowjob scene, and a solo masturbation scene that is entirely skippable. It's just her using a wine bottle on herself. I get that it's supposed to convey her desire for big dick but it drags on for 20 minutes and isn't that interesting at all.

The blowjob is fine and I do like that it takes place in the bar with a few customers behind her. The sex scenes are both solid with a nice array of positions and strong intensity. I also liked that she frequently squirts/wets herself from excitement. It also helps that the film is executed pretty well overall. The lighting suits the bar theme nicely and most of the camerawork is on point. A few shots were a little off but aside from that, it's great. I also really liked the slingkini outfit she sports in the final scene. Rounding this out is her performance which isn't half bad. She conveys a nice feeling of lust and shame while playing it mostly submissive. All this amounts to one of the better interracial films of recent memory. Any IR fan should definitely add this to their watchlist.

Who doesn't love a good big titty succubus? That's precisely what we got here with this one. The plot centers around two guys whose wishes are granted by having Noa the busty succubus appear right in front of them for some naughty fun. Now I love a good succubus theme but this one feels a little undercooked. Mostly because the structure here is 100% identical to any other BOBB release so this doesn't feel special really in any way. Obviously her wardrobe and performance are unique to this theme but otherwise, it doesn't offer up much to stand out. Now it's not an entirely bad thing as I like this studio to McDonalds. You know what to expect everytime and it mostly always delivers a decently satisfying experience. Just don't expect to be blown away. That's precisely the case here starting with the action. It consists of the usual two sex scenes, three handjob scenes, and two paizuri scenes. It's all the standard fare you'd expect from this label.

This also means that all the cumshots except for one are fake. This doesn't completely ruin the scenes but definitely takes away a lot of satisfaction. Now the two sex scenes are both solid and overall I really did enjoy all the titty play and smothering. I especially loved the nursing position when she rests the guy head on her lap while smothering her tits in his face. This leads me to her acting which isn't half bad. She has a nice upbeat attitude throughout the film and is pretty expressive with good enthusiasm. Although she does falter a bit during the sex scenes as she can ball back into being too submissive when she should be more dominant. Lastly, we have the production values which aren't anything special. The lighting is virtually the same all throughout minus the last two scenes. The succubus wardrobe is pretty sexy for the most part although the wings used with the second outfit look a little out of place. The final result is a decent watch but nothing much more than that.

After missing out on last month's new Ren Gojo release due to it being bondage and rope play themed, I was eager to jump back on board. This new one centers around her playing a married woman who goes in for a massage but ends up enjoying herself so much that she accidentally wets herself. She goes back in for another massage in which the masseuse goes a bit more "hands-on" this time. You know the drill. He proceeds to then fuck her several throughout the film. NTR isn't exactly my cup of tea although the idea of her fiance being in the room sounded like a nice idea to spice things up but it's poorly utilized. It's only for one scene and you can barely even see him. You completely forget he's there as they never show him. It would've been great to pull the camera back and do a few wide-angle shots. It's a big missed opportunity there. Beyond this, the execution is fine enough for what it is.

The scope of the film is rather limited so this means you'll see the same setting throughout the entire film. They do a decent enough job of tweaking it every time with a sligtly adjusted layout and lighting. I do love the use of body oil here as it gives her juicy body a tantalizing sheen. Next up is the action which is good but can feel a tad repetitive. It consists of three sex scenes and an introductory scene at the start with her getting massaged to set up the plot. That scene was pretty lousy, mainly because it drags on for half an hour and goes nowhere really. We then get the three sex scenes all in a row. They're all solid and I do appreciate the balance of showcasing both her ass and tits. I just wish they changed things up a little and maybe included a paizuri scene for some variety. I won't say much about her acting here as she's very mediocre. Not a huge surprise though. The end result is an average watch with some terrific eyecandy and decent action.
