Wow! I am stunned. Not only by the D rating, but by the fact that this assessment got zero engagement. Not hating here, just giving an alternative assessment of Saki. Obviously everything is subjective, particularly when it comes to assessing attractiveness and the desirability of different physical characteristics of JAV actresses. my own bias is away from the super plump, overly busty actresses (ie June Lovejoy, Chitose, Saegusa, or even Hitomi), and prefer the slender and fit look. I know Oppaira (by his very moniker) is in the other camp. Which is great, as diversity of opinion is what makes life interesting. Having said all that, I find Saki to not only have a 5/5 face, but her fit but shapely figure is at least a 4-4.5 in my book. While her debut (IPZZ-163) was nothing special (although I would argue above average for a debut), I found by just her second film (IPZZ-174) she was already leaning into a slutty, sexy side of herself, with a penchant for dirty words that spiced up her performance. And by her third performance (IPZZ-188), she is already squirting and leaning into the nasty and hardcore side of JAV. This arc in just THREE films. Thus, I would give her overall performance at least a 4-4.5. In sum, she is an "A" quality debut in my book! I would be interested to find out if she has risen at all in Oppaira's eyes over the last 18 months or so.

In response to Oppaira 's comment

Many apologies!!!! I completely misunderstood this by being too careless in my reading of the article. Since I read it after seeing a number of discussions (which I enjoyed) about the various studios, I mistakenly thought this was part of the same series!! Thanks for your gracious response. It now makes sense, and I was indeed unfamiliar with the studio system for JAV. I know you work very hard on all of these articles, so I do not want you to think I am expecting more. Having said that, maybe making a recommendation or two for at least a few of the actresses with whom you are particularly familiar is always a bonus. Sorry again for a misinformed critical comment. :)

Just some feedback. I love the idea of doing studio by studio assessments! But at least for me, this is coming off largely as "inside baseball," and seems to presume a familiarity with JAV that even being what I consider to be a big fan, do not possess. JAV is already a Byzantine world to begin with for foreigners, what with the innumerable movie codes and absurdly long titles that make little or no sense when translated most of the time. But since movie codes are the bread and butter of finding JAV, I was not even familiar with 8 Man Promotion. Worse, and frustratingly, after skimming the article, I am still not sure what movie codes they produce. I think as a general rule, it is SUPER helpful for non JAV experts such as me, if there is at least an explanatory preamble that might contain a little history about the studio, what three letter codes they produce, and maybe a few of their flagship series. Also, and I know it is a little extra work, but I always think articles like this have a greater impact for readers if it may contain say a personal top five list that we can then check out for those less familiar with the studio being covered. Just some thoughts and feedback. Nevertheless, thanks for taking the time and effort to provide the information contained above!

Kudos for this review! I feel like this title flew under the radar when it was released, and unjustly so. I am completely on board with Oppaira's exceptionally high rating! I recently rewatched it, and it really holds up well. Minori is utterly charming, adorable, and utterly sexy. The chemistry with the lead actor appears genuine, and hence the sex sizzles. And the sweat dripping off her toned and buxom body really did add an element of extra appeal. Looking back on 2020, this was probably one of my top five or six titles. I just wish there were more people beyond Oppaira and me that deemed it to be as exceptional as we perceive it to be. Great write up and review!!

I LOVE Maria in the female boss role. I like to see her assertive and dominant side come out. I find it interesting that four years later Maria came out with a similar title (LULU-299), which Pan gave a 7.8. It might not be fair to compare ratings over such a long time, but I have to admit that despite the fact that I think Maria was hotter for this title, I think both her performance and the film was better in LULU-299. I guess HODV-21482 I found myself thinking that Maria's overall lack of performance noted by Pan extended somewhat to her sex scenes as well. Thus, I found myself enjoying LULU-299 more, which I felt like was a more engaged and enthusiastic performance by Maria. And the production values felt a bit more robust. But thanks to Pan for his YEARS of insightful reviews!!
