Mai Hagiwara Platonic Love
Reviewed by Peter Payne
Hello, it's me again, evangelizing for another fine product we sell at J-List (pardon me). This time it's the "out of retirement" DVD of Mai Hagiwara, the lovely Japanese sex kitten who is a hot property of the Eichi Publishing company, the makers of Bejean, Gokuh and several other magazines, and also of Bauhaus.
Mai is back from retirement, after doing what virtually all AV idols do in Japan, retiring for a few months and then coming back. (When Maiko Yuki retired, she came back with a strange scar on her stomach, so we know why she retired.) Mai seems to have been taking a break though, and letting Maiko Kazano take center stage as Eichi/Bauhaus's flagship model.
The DVD is a very nice one. It features much of what has become the standard Japanese soft porn DVD model: starting out playful, escalating to more and more sexy imagery, as if growing up from child to adult. We get to see Mai dress in a bunny suit, and when she sheds it, she's nekkid underneath. She rolls playfully on a bed, showing her sexy body and shedding her clothes shyly one by one.
The DVD shows you the "private life" of Maichy (that's her nickname, a kind of Mai-ified spelling of the word "mighty"). You get to see her in her shower, get to see her getting dressed and also get to see her "suppin," or her pure face without makup on. Also we are shown what she looks like with glasses on.
The steamier shots are quiet steamy and very artistically cool to sit back and enjoy. Two versions of Maichy pose erotically on a sofa, one looking like a pure cheerleader and the other like a sexy lady of the night. The director uses effects like shouldercam and holding the camera at angles to create many interesting effects. They know you want to get up close to Mai-chan's body and the camera does that quite well, with a big wide macro lens.
It's 90 minutes, so you can see that they really tried to give you a lot of satisfaction for your money. It includes a bunch of photos which you can browse with your DVD player, as well as unreleased footage and some test video that are like bloopers. There's no making of in this production as there have been in others.
The DVD is nice because, like the there Maichy soft porn releases, there is no mosiac over her pubic hair shots. And it's region free, so you don't need a special player.
So...once again I am recommending this item, although I am biased since J-List has been behind Mai Hagiwara from the beginning, pushing her as much as we can. To us though, she represents almost the perfect young Japanese girl, smart, cute, playful and every bit a woman. So we don't mind recommending this DVD to you.
