Timing and Translation by ZENRA

(Second Half online November 4th)

Some say "third time's charm" and that some is in fact...me. But let me tell you something: sometimes you get a great JAV series and totally drop the ball with some bad casting. And no, I'm not referring to the female talent because be it in the first, second, or what we have here, the third in the rather well-done NANPA LEADS TO RISKY THREESOMES REBORN series by HOT ENTERTAINMENT. This time, like the last two, features some great eye candy and I'll have some additional remarks on that in a moment.

But for now, I've some gears that need grinding. For those who don't care too much about the dialog and subtitling, you can skip this paragraph. Otherwise, I'm jumping right in: the actor/host in the second two scenes is a very long-timer who's been active since at least the mid 2000's yet still cannot do two things a JAV ACTOR needs to do: SPEAK CLEARLY and SHUT THE F UP when the sex starts. Sorry, yes, we are a site that subtitles our content--a major selling point and I'm actually somewhat of a masochist in some circles as I enjoy the subtitling process even when there is a lot of dialog, but even I have two modest requests: good audio and talent (at least the male side of it) that speaks clearly and unless the plot seriously demands it (and it usually doesn't), to keep conversations at a minimum once sex starts unless they are extremely pertinent to the scenario. It's a modest request, OK? This guy didn't get the memo and if I was a JAV director, he'd be blacklisted until he can provide proof he has taken at least 28 hours of vocal training and even then he'd remain on thin ice for at least a year.

Back to the movie: the plot does not do itself any favors in originality. If you've seen the others, what we get here are three more encounters all following the same flow: an approach, an interview about lifestyles and soon after due to the sponsor--a lingerie manufacturer (what are the odds?)--a humble request to show bras and panties and--yes, defying all logic but hear me out--an additional sponsor that makes adult toys asking if our host can try some out and this must be the dullest adult toy brand in Japan as these are the same devices you've seen in every JAV movie since 1992.

Now it sounds like I'm hating on this movie and let me be honest: this took up a large portion of my life for a few weeks and I'm a bit grumpy after working on whatshisname's never-ending whispered nothings. However, even with him and even with the recycled plot, it's still pretty darn good. While the 'mature women' casting may not necessarily be up to everyone's standards (news flash: almost all of us may not look as good as we do in our 50's as we did in our 20's), the three women in their 20's are all babes. In fact, let me use the little bit of allotment I have left in this review to bring attention to MIO KAMISHIRO who appears in the second scene. How has MIO KAMISHIRO hid under the radar for so long? I'm going to consider her a MAO WATANABE-like performer in the face who trains with YUKI TAKEUCHI but unlike YUKI who has actively competed in bikini fitness competitions prefers to remain in a perpetual hot-n-sexy off season. To put it succinctly: MIO KAMISHIRO is beautiful in the face and has an EXTREMELY blessed and toned body and I'm surprised so few know about her.

Watch this movie for the plot if you want, watch it for the banter between the older and younger women, don't watch it for the host in the second two scenes who can't shut up nor speak clearly (but watch for a surprise MU-TAN in the first!), and also watch it again for MIO and her two college-aged companions in the surrounding scenes. You know what? Just watch it. It's worth it.
