Pan Takes - May 2022 Volume 2
I'm rounding another batch of new films from May and there was plenty to sink my teeth into. I've got a few from one of my favorite new actresses in Alice Otsu who is making a very big splash at the moment. Yuria Yoshine had herself a very fruitful month with several quality films that I'll take a look at here. In addition, there was a lot of meat to go around this time with some notable releases from Chitose, Ruu Yumemi, and Ai Sayama. Overall I think May was a pretty solid month and provided JAV fans with lots to enjoy. So without further ado, let's jump in!
DVDMS-819
Starring "Yuria Yoshine"
"Milf With Light Skin And A Big Ass Comes Over To Do Housework, Then Gets A Quickie! A Married Woman Falls For A Huge Dick And Then Shows Up Unexpectedly The Next Day To Satisfy Herself With Endless Creampie Loads"
I'm typically a big fan of this series as some of the past entries have been solid such as the ones featuring the likes of Shiori Tsukada and Mina Kitano. Yuria Yoshine is a perfect fit for this role so I was eager to check it out. Here we see her playing a housemaid who is tasked with cleaning up this guy's place. He can't resist her booty and attempts to fuck her. After a few tries, she eventually gives in and begins to enjoy herself a bit. This results in the 2nd half where she willingly invites him to fuck her and succumbs to her lust. I like the setup and seeing the progression of Yuria's stance from start to finish. Her performance though leaves a little something to be desired.
She has a tendency to get a little loud and whiny even in the last sex scene where she should be letting loose. While she does have a few nice moments here and there, overall she's just average at best. The other issue I have is the camerawork which utilizes some static shots that are quite terrible. The angles they use are lousy and the implementation of it here makes no sense. The action though is good consisting of multiple sex scenes that highlight her chest and ass although there are plenty of fake cumshots. Yuria herself looks fantastic while sporting a few nice outfits and the lighting is generally fine. If you're a big Yuria fan like myself I think you'll be pleased as it provides some juicy eye-candy. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking.
Overall Rating - 8/10
MIAA-640
Starring "Chitose Yuki"
"My Girlfriend's Voluptuous Elder Sister Gave Me An Anal Grooming And I Secretly Came Like A Bitch"
That's certainly an eyecatching cover for sure. Based on it I think you can guess what it's about. The film features a setup similar to the GES(girlfriend's elder sister) series but with a twist that Chitose is quite dominant and enjoys something a little wilder. She loves to use a strap-on along with other various anal toys on her sister's boyfriend, often when she's right nearby. I really loved this spin on the typical GES theme and it makes for a very entertaining watch. Much of this is thanks to Chitose's super enthusiastic performance. She knows her way around a strap-on and puts it to great use as she fucks this guy pretty hard throughout. You can tell she's enjoying herself here and it shows through her facial expressions and high energy.
The action here is enjoyable but does indeed focus nearly entirely on pegging and anal play. It consists of two handjob scenes, two pegging scenes, and a sex scene. All these feature plenty of anal play and toy use of course. One of the best aspects is the element of risk present in most of the scenes such as when she fingers the guy and jerks him off on the couch while the sister is in the kitchen. It certainly helps to make the scenes much more exciting. The production values are solid too with good setting variety and adequate lighting. All this said if you don't enjoy pegging and such, just stay away as there's nothing else here for you. But if you do like it, it's one of the best pure pegging-focused videos I've seen in recent memory.

HMN-182
Starring "Alice Otsu"
"If You Can Make Me Cum, I'll Break Up With My Boyfriend. Wild Slut With Money Problems Who Was Cheated By Her Boyfriend Grabbed 10,000 yen And Got Back At Him With An AV Actor For A Wild Creampie! Incredible SEX Technique With Lots Of Squirting With This Knockout?"
Alice Ostu had several notable new releases this month so trying to keep up can be quite difficult. I wasn't expecting a ton from this one but it pleasantly surprised me. It features an interesting setup that features Alice playing a "random" girl who is looking to break up with her boyfriend. She is offered a significant amount of money to shoot an AV film and she takes it. Obviously, it's all staged of course. It ultimately doesn't factor into the rest of the film too much as it's very straightforward. The action consists of three sex scenes overall. Each one with a major focus on squirting which I am a big fan of. She gushes like crazy here and makes for some of the wildest squirts I've ever seen. Alice is a real super soaker for sure.
It's very entertaining with a surprisingly nice mix of positions. Plus, it's pretty intense and even features some deepthroating. It can get a little repetitive though as the whole film basically takes place in one single hotel room. They at least switch up the lighting which does mitigate the issue a little bit. The camerawork is fantastic capturing some really great full-body shots. But perhaps best of all is her unbelievably energetic performance. Alice is up there with the best of the best right now. Her enthusiasm is off the charts and she's constantly engaging with vivid facial expressions. Alice is quickly becoming a new favorite of mine. While this film is admittedly pretty basic, it excels with its entertaining action and electric performance from Alice.

KATU-099
Starring "Yayoi Mizuki"
"The Seduction Of A Horny Wife If Her Ass Is Bulging Out Of Her Miniskirt, That Gal Is A Super Slut!"
Yayoi Mizuki and her fantasstic booty have blessed us with another quality new release. Here we see her playing a seemingly horny housewife who is full of lust. She gets approached by a man on the street while out for a walk and ends up having sex with him. The plot isn't really a huge factor here and it's clearly fake anyway. I wasn't too interested in the setup as I'm really only here to see Yayoi's glorious ass. The eye-candy factor is easily the best aspect of the video. She looks amazing and sports a couple of sexy outfits that showcase her big ass and sexy legs in stunning fashion. Performance-wise she's just okay at best. She's not terrible but didn't blow me away at any point. She can definitely be a bit loud at times though.
The action is mostly pretty good with a few exceptions. It features two sex scenes, two outercourse-type scenes, and a blowjob scene. The outercourse scenes can feel a bit repetitive at times and the pacing is a little slow making the runtime a near three hours. It takes about 65 minutes before any real sex occurs. But the scenes do highlight her ass extremely well and the intensity is solid. The production values are fine overall. The camerawork features a heavy amount of fisheye so be warned if you're not into that. And the lighting can feel a little dull at times. If you're an ass lover then it's hard to go wrong with Yayoi Mizuki. And while this one may not be anything too outstanding, it at least provides some juicy eye candy that's sure to please.

MIDV-107
Starring "Ru Yumemi"
"Cumming So Hard! Piston Accelerates Straight After Climax! Full Collection! Raging Pursuit Creampie Action Is Like A Dream!"
That's a pretty nice cover. Unfortunately, the video itself doesn't quite live up to it. There's no plot to speak of here whatsoever. Instead, the only real focus is on intense action and hard pounding. It is very generic overall but sometimes that's not a bad thing necessarily as long as the sex itself is good. Thankfully it is pretty decent but not without an issue or two. It consists of two sex scenes...and that's it. That right there is one of my biggest problems with the video. With just two scenes it means each one is rather bloated and dragged out often wasting nearly half an hour on just titty play and boring stimulation. The intensity of the scenes is great though with a terrific range of positions.
But both scenes feel rather samey and play out in a similar fashion. Now when it comes to the production values they are just average at best. On one hand, her wardrobe does feature a few nice outfits and the camerawork is handled quite well. However, the settings feel rather dull which doesn't help the repetitiveness of the film at all. And as I mentioned earlier the pacing really should have been trimmed down and added another scene. Sadly I can't offer up much praise for her acting. She delivers a mostly underwhelming performance with weak engagement and copious amounts of whining. There's some sexy eye candy here for sure and the action itself is solid but the execution leaves something to be desired.
Overall Rating - 7.2/10
DASS-008
Starring "Misono Mizuhara"
"When A Lewd Girl Like This Lures Me In Temptation, It's Too Hard To Resist! Super Slick With Tons Of Oil! Getting Off Like Crazy For Blissful Fucking"
Here we have the second Samoari release that I've reviewed for this month. I know I should stay away but it's starring one of my favorite actresses at the moment so I had to take a look. The premise here is basically non-existent as it mainly focuses on the use of body oil along with all the typical Samoari flair so expect plenty of nipple play as well. There's not much to talk about regarding the plot. Overall it feels just like any other Samoari film for the most part. This leads me to the production values which are a mixed bag. Her wardrobe is pretty nice with a few noteworthy outfits like the one on the cover. And the camerawork does feature some nice shots from time to time. However, the camerawork can still be quite terrible here.
Expect the Samoari special as he shoots their feet and loves to shoot from 20 feet away for whatever reason. It's just mind-boggling. The set designs aren't too bizarre at least unlike other films of his. The action consists of two sex scenes, a handjob scene, and a paizuri scene. The sex scenes are decent with the first one being the best. The second suffers from some poor camerawork, unfortunately. The non-sex scenes are fine but nothing truly outstanding. Perhaps best of all though is her performance. She's very energetic and expressive here much more than in most of her other work. In the end, for a Samoari film, it's not too terrible. If you can get past the spotty camerawork and occasional nipple play, there's some enjoyment to be had.

BLK-580
Starring "Rino Yuki"
"Tied Up Bitch Room. Plays With Man's Nipples Who Is Unable To Move Then Makes Him Stop. He Then Finally Blows Load!"
I almost skipped over this one but I'm glad I didn't as it turned out to be pretty damn good. The plot isn't much to speak of as it's just a typical femdom-style setup centering around some guys being restrained as Rino Yuki has her way with them in various ways. It's simple but effective. However, one aspect that's a slight letdown is the setting variety as the whole film is shot inside a single hotel room. They at least shoot in the bathroom for a scene but it still feels a bit stale after a while. But on the plus side, the wardrobe variety is excellent with a few really stunning outfits on display. Also, the lighting is nicely varied too with each scene incorporating a different setup. Beyond that, the action all around is mostly pretty great.
It consists of two sex scenes and two blowjob/handjob scenes. Those latter two scenes are fairly enjoyable thanks to Rino's performance and the fact that the guy cums twice in a row leading to some squirting. It can be pretty entertaining. The sex scenes are the real highlight, boasting a high intensity and superb position variety. There's even some squirting from the side of Rino and she gets super sweaty as well making for some wildly wet action. And this is all topped off by her incredibly dominant acting. It's honestly one of her best performances yet. She's super engaging and takes command with utmost ease. This is yet another quality film from Rino Yuki who is absolutely on fire this year.
Overall Rating - 8.8/10
MIAA-637
Starring "Yuria Yoshine"
"A Super-High-Class Soapland Specializing In Creampies"
Most everyone knows how much I loathe soapland films but I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by this one. While it still falls into the pitfalls of the theme, it offers up some great eyecandy if nothing else. Regarding the premise, it's exactly what you expect. It's your typical soapland setup focusing on creampies although they're entirely fake so it doesn't really matter honestly. The soapland fluff isn't that bad here but it still manages to bloat the film a bit and slows it down. I just don't find it that interesting at all. Thankfully the action itself is solid for the most part beyond the fake creampies. It consists of three full sex scenes, a handjob scene, and a paizuri scene.
Overall the action is enjoyable with some decent position variety and is certainly bolstered by some strong production values. Usually, a soapland film will be done in by its repetitiveness but Moodyz does a great job with its settings to keep things somewhat fresh. Not only that but the camerawork is terrific and even features a full POV scene. The lighting is nice too without being too bright like some soapland films tend to be. She also sports a few very sexy lingerie pieces as well. Yuria's performance is average at best. She has some great moments for sure but is still prone to excessive whining. Despite its few flaws, it's still a pretty enjoyable soapland film. And that's coming from a soapland hater. I definitely recommend it for any big soapland or Yuria fans.
Overall Rating - 8.3/10
CJOD-348
Starring "Ai Sayama"
"A Snack Bar Mama With Colossal Tits And Super Erect Nipples"
Ai Sayama always brings the fire with her covers and this is yet another stunning cover. It's very eye-catching but is the video itself any good? Well, it's a mixed bag of sorts. Here we see Ai play the role of a slutty bartender as she seduces and has sex with a few lucky customers. It's a nice setup and one that certainly caters to her strengths both physically and as a performer. She's definitely got the seduction skills to back it up. Her inviting facial expressions are one of her best highlights for sure on top of boasting good energy and engagement. Ai Sayama is one of the most reliable performers around and she delivers once again. Sadly the other aspects of the film leave a little something to be desired starting with the action.
Overall it features two sex scenes, a blowjob scene, a paizuri scene, and a scene where a guy just jerks himself off while watching Ai play with herself. That scene is very forgettable and a complete waste of time. The blowjob scene isn't too hot either and is just kinda throw-in at the end haphazardly. At least the sex scenes are satisfying though and the paizuri scene is solid. The technical aspects are mixed too as on one hand, her wardrobe is super sexy with some fantastic outfits. But the camerawork incorporates way too much fisheye that's unnecessary and shoots from some wonky angles. I still had a fine time with this one but the camerawork and a few weak scenes left me feeling just whelmed at best.
Overall Rating - 7.7/10
RCTD-468
Starring "Alice Otsu"
Gal With A Huge Ass Uses My Face As A Bicycle Seat!"
Rocket hasn't missed a beat with their wacky concepts. The setup centers around a man who is somehow able to magically transform himself into Alice Otsu's bicycle seat. I'm not quite sure how it exactly happens but it's entertaining all the same. This leads to LOTS of facesitting and results in plenty of squirting too. Overall it's a very absurd plot but makes for a fun watch. Now the one major knock I have against it is the lack of setting variety as every scene takes place in the same exact room. I honestly wasn't too upset by this but it can make the scenes feel a tad repetitive by the end. Aside from that, the production values are fine with adequate lighting and camerawork on top of boasting some nice outfits for Alice that showcase her ass quite nicely.
The action consists of two sex scenes, a facesitting scene, and a masturbation/toying scene. Every single scene features a heavy amount of squirting so if you're not a fan I would advise you skip this one. But personally, I can never get enough of watching Alice gush like a geyser. It's crazy how explosive she is. The sex scenes are decent but are limited by their position variety. The last scene does fare better in that regard but is still quite brief. Lastly, I gotta praise Alice's performance as she is so fun to watch here. She's got fantastic energy and lively facial expressions that really help brings this outlandish premise to life. It may be a little narrow in scope but if you enjoy squirting, weird plots, and facesitting then you gotta check this one out.
Overall Rating - 8.6/10
Comments
Is it just me or has Ai Sayama been staring in dud after dud lately? I just can't seem to be excited by any of the generic videos she's been in, so much so that I just don't watch her new content anymore. Which is a shame really because she's easily one of my all-time favourite actresses.
As for Yuria Yoshine I feel like her performances are often bland like you describe. You say whelmed but I'm often a little underwhelmed. I think part of why I enjoy her so much is because she's willing to put herself out there. She's no Honoka Mihara but when you turn up the boobs slider at the expense of the hardcore slider, I'm not unhappy to make that trade off. You've got Honoka on one end, Hitomi on the other, and Yuria smack dab in the middle in a way I can quite enjoy.
Ye that's a good way to describe Yuria. She is often lackluster but I will say she was pretty good in CJOD-346 with Shiori Tsukada.
I kinda agree with your point on Ai Sayama. I still think her recent releases are fine but they are certainly becoming more and more repetitive with each one featuring nearly the same plot every time.
