So, as some of you may know, Aika Yamagishi, also known as Aipan is my favorite actress. I wrote an article about how PRED-251 came about through the use of a twitter campaign and Premium created the first of its kind; a compilation of new content.  As a recap, the plot itself is the Twitter campaign, which has users submitted masturbation instructions for Aika to follow. This section of the video is 10 hours long, meaning, for most users, this will be a several day, several week, or several month watch depending on how often they have pleasure sessions.

So what’s unique about it?

Quite simply, the fact that a compilation that contains never-before-seen content, not to mention that a vast majority of it is masturbation. Typically, you won’t see this happen, especially with a major label. To add on, the omnibus tag was accidentally added on to R18, which was later fixed, which signifies how abnormal this is. You can still find the mistake on other databases such as JAVlibrary. 

PRED-251

As per the plot, the masturbation is self-shot with a camera that Aipan was given so she could “socially distance”. This gives all of the masturbation scenes a very amateur, homemade feeling with a good quality camera. When this is juxtaposed with professionally shot scenes and scenes with amateurs, it breaks the character of the film. The great part of the "amateur" feel, is that users get to see Aipan do things which are part of her "daily" routine, such as practicing Chinese, and working out.

On the flip side of this being a home-shot video, the lighting is out of Aipan's control... For better or for worse,  the lighting gives that "home feel", and although I had no issues viewing, there were times when I wish there was a little bit more light in the room. Obviously this is the trade off of shooting in an apartment without anybody else. In contrast, the last 2 hours (with fans) are really well lit.

Sex:

Masturbation:

The masturbation is the bulk of this film, and I realize that masturbation content isn’t for everyone. Which begs the question- who is the audience? Simply put, it serves a purpose of pleasuring men and women who get off of masturbation videos, and men and women who are curious about masturbation in general. Thus, it can be assumed that this masturbation content isn't aimed at being super crazy, but rather to cover as much bases as possible. After watching, and re-watching, I've come to a conclusion. While it may not satisfy someone expecting insane and crazy masturbation instructions, most of them are interesting and unique in some way. The best part is, viewers can pick, choose and find their favorite masturbation scenes to watch.  Personally, I felt that a few of the masturbation scenes were somewhat monotonous, some were a bit ludicrous, but overall a solid range to pick from. 

Now a big question people are probably asking is… was it real? Does the masturbation seem realistic or does the pleasure seem faked in any way? Logically speaking, you have someone making themselves to masturbate for 31 days straight, allegedly. I may not be an expert on the human body, nor the epitome of horniness. I felt that most of it was not faked, but there was probably and almost certainly  some acting involved. But AV actresses are actresses for a reason. If I’m fooled by the acting, that’s all the more props to them for "fooling" me.

Fan sex:

Although I’m not good with faces, I don’t believe I’ve seen these male faces before, based on preview pictures, which leads me to believe that it wasn’t staged. And, it reflects the type of sex they had. Some of which was- underwhelming, Aika was able to carry when she was in control. Her energy and passion made up for any disappointments from her counterparts. This being said, when comparing to other "fan" sex videos, such as the "fan thanksgivings", it doesn't maintain the same feel. Instead, it feels like a normal, vanilla movie from S1.
