Timing and Translation by Patonyan

In some ways FIRST TIME LESBIANS SECRET HOT SPRINGS VACATION RETURNS 21 is a tale of two movies: yes, if you've seen the (many) others in the series by GOGOS, you should be well at home here. The flow is more or less the same albeit this time it's almost as if we get almost a solid hour of heavy dose reality and only in the back half do things get sexy. On the other hand, could this have been the point? Are these two friends suddenly tasked with filming their first ever lesbian outing, becoming so timorous with the endeavor that they end up "partying" too much early on only to realize the entire reason a JAV studio floated their outing was not just for a cozy travelogue of two cute Japanese women, but also to see said cute Japanese women eating each other out (among other things lesbians are known to do when being intimate)?

Make no mistake, I am not panning this movie. But even for those familiar with the ebbs and flows of this 20+ part series, this one is definitely a "wait for it and you'll be rewarded down the line--VERY down the line moment". Starring at least one familiar face in the form of RIKO SHINOHARA whom we last saw starring alongside SUZU MONAMI playing a game of to the nude undressing before both being impaled by naturally well-endowed JAV actors who now returns as a cute and very approachable Japanese lesbian. The question of course is which is the real RIKO? Could it be the one here? Being the obvious leader of the duo, but also at times the one who may indeed be the more embarrassed. Dare I say our submissive when dressed becomes a masochist when in the nude? That as a lesbian she's the receiver, not the giver? It sure seem so.

This is going to be a shorter review not because this is a bad movie, but as noted, it has a few issues that have since been rectified. All in all, the clothed portions this time around actually run longer than the erotic portions making this almost what one can call an "uneven" JAV movie. From what I have heard from the studio, the reality of shooting this isn't exactly sending two JAV stars armed with a camera or two on a trip by themselves, but there is someone from the studio there as well just to provide extra help such as getting shots set up correctly. Still, while we love our reality movies, at times this one may have been a bit "too real".
