Series Spotlight: Prestige's "120% Natural Ingredients" Series (Part 1)

Published : August 10th, 2021 Written by jmsorry

As one of the biggest studios in the industry, Prestige has been releasing some of the best JAV content since their foundation in 2002. They have launched the careers of some of the brightest JAV stars, including Erika Momotani, Mizuho Uehara, and their current stars, Remu Suzumori, Airi Suzumura, Kawai Asuna, Umi Yatsugake, and many others. 

But what really separates Prestige from other studios such as S1 or Faleno is that they push their actresses to do more than the usual. While some studios may hesitate to make their star actresses, say, lick assholes or swallow cum, Prestige encourages their actresses to push their limits. 

The "120% Natural Ingredients" series is one of the studio's venues for this. Its concept is simple enough: the actresses have sweaty sex with equally sweaty actors. The goal is to make them secrete "natural ingredients" to make the sex as wet and intense as possible. Also add some rimming into the mix and you'll get pure unadulterated intercourse that sets modesty and sophistication off the table. The series became so popular that Prestige became confident enough to pull all of its titles off Fanza. 

In this series of articles, we are going to take a look at some of the best installments in the series. To give us a better idea of how this series has evolved over the years, we arranged the following titles in a chronological order. 

ABS-119 - Rina Kato

Cast: Rina Kato
Duration: 125min
Release date:  6-12-2012

The oldest "Natural Ingredients" title in Prestige's database is ABS-119 featuring the cutie Rina Kato. If you are old enough, you may remember Rina-chan from ABS-043, "Let's Fuck Rina Kato on the Beach."

The first thing to notice is the image quality. ABS-119 is in 720p resolution, Given that this title was released almost a decade ago, this is totally acceptable. Nonetheless, it tells us that the concept really jumps off its feet in HD, when you can see the actress' pores and sweat in detail. 

ABS-199 already has the basic elements that we associate with the series: the sweaty sex, intense and animalistic licking, the ass licking, the occasional squirting, and the sparse production set-up. ABS-119 also features the now classic gray shirt that actresses featured in the series usually wear in the first scene. 

Nonetheless, there are some elements that are rather uncharacteristic of the series, such as the skit where the Rina plays with a camera dildo in her mouth, showing us vague images of her mouth. We don't usually see that in Prestige nowadays, specifically in the "Natural Ingredients" series. 

By the end of the video, there is also a hot spring resort scene which further makes it look like a generic video. The scene looks quite bland and mediocre especially by today's standards. Although they did put on some heaters to make them the actors sweat like pigs, the insufficient lighting and the low image quality didn't help to make the scene as hot as it should. 


Despite all this, Rina Kato 's performance is enough to make ABS-119 valuable. As one of the first titles in the series, it is a landmark video that will set the standard for Prestige's subsequent releases. 

ABS-181- Asuka Kirara

Cast: Asuka Kirara
Duration: 125min
Release date:  1-01-2013

Asuka Kirara had had an interesting career as a JAV actress. In the early days of her career, she took the usual career route as a gyaru/ gal. She even did some mildly hardcore work . To her newer fans, seeing this side of Asuka-chan may come off as a shock. 

She underwent a number of surgeries, most of which were successful in terms of rejuvenating her career. As she gained more fans, she dialed it down with making hardcore videos, now content to make vanilla works, most of which still sold like pancakes. She got so famous that she has begun to focus on her non-JAV social media persona and eventually ditched making adult videos.

Fortunately, she did one "Natural Ingredients" title when she was with Prestige, and it's the bomb. 

ABS-181 has the same image quality as ABS-119, but there are some considerable improvements in the video's productions. It has better lighting and the camera angles are much are dynamic and energetic. It moves around Kirara's body, zooms in and out of her body and face, complementing the energy of the sex that is happening on the set. 

They also seem to have acquired a better understanding of their material. There are more close-up shots of the video's finest moments, such as when Kirara was digging her face into the actor's asshole. 

They were also became more creative with the camera angles. Instead of the usual angles, we get views of Asuka sucking on the cock from below, letting her drool drip into the lens. They also fuck Asuka so hard that her sweat splashes into the camera. These kinds of tricks give us a more immersive experience of Asuka's "natural ingredients," and not just simply watching someone sweat while having sex. These kinds of subtle tricks, after all, are what makes the series special.  

Needless to say, Asuka Kirara is such a delight to watch. She may not have the best acting skills, but man, her body in this title is totally divine. Her tight and bouncy tits hang like ripe grapes from a lean grapevine. Her ass is tight as fuck, and all of that is in her model-esque height and frame. Her serious slutty face is a pretty canvass for that juicy mouth. Asuka is the perfect fruit to extract some sweet natural woman juice. 


All in all, ABS-181 is a solid step forward for the series as it featured an A-list actress doing the nastiest tricks in the book. Aside from that, the producers were also beginning to understand how to shoot this series. 

ABS-221 - Shunka Ayami

Cast: Shunka Ayami
Duration: 120min
Release date:  4-19-2013

Another retired star who sailed boats with both Prestige and S1, Shunka Ayami also did a "Natural Ingredients" title early in her career. Given that she has been doing mostly vanilla titles in her career (especially with S1), ABS-221 may be one of her best videos. 

ABS-221 picks up where ABS-181 left, retaining the overall vibe and direction set the previous series title. We get almost the same costumes, sets, and camera work. However, it is still not HD quality. 

The first scene is set in a hotel room rather than the usual dark minimal set. Shimiken gets the first scene with Shunka which feels rather unusual since he is not particularly known for starring in this series. Nonetheless, his and Shunka's scene is generally solid. 

The third scene is a 3P with Shunka in a scho*lgirl costume. This one is a lot more intense and the actors did not hold back sticking their cocks in Shunka's holes. 

One highlight in this JAV is an unusually long rimming scene, tastefully framed between two ferns. We're sure not all of our readers like seeing hotties cleaning hairy male assholes, but goddamn. ABS-221 has one of the longest rimming scenes we've seen in a "Natural Ingredients video." Most titles in the series have at least one or two shots of analingus, but ABS-221 has about 30 minutes of cock, balls, and ass which is too long to be called a filler. Moreover, the scene has been shot with nice angles. We've never seen Shunka eat ass with such vigor and love. 


More than anything else, ABS-221 reminded me of how hot Shunka really is, especially during her stay in Prestige. She's got an unreal ass, long yet meaty legs, a handful of breasts, and a vibe that is oozing with womanly sex. Seeing her get played with and made to clean multiple assholes with her mouth is a delight to watch.


ABP-013 - Rola Misaki

Cast: Rola Misaki (Laura Takizawa)
Duration: 120min
Release date:  7-02-2013

Rola Mizaki is a real hafu legend. If you are old enough, you may have caught the hype she created when she entered the scene. People went so far as to call her the rightful heir to Maria Ozawa's hafu throne. That is up for debate, but what is clear is that Rola Mizaki deserves a place in the pantheon of JAV goddesses. This was cemented by her stint with Prestige. 

Her "Natural Ingredients" title, ABP-013 is considered by some as one of the best titles in the series. Why? You have to watch it to understand. 

In ABP-013, the producers seem to have ramped up the heat to make the actors sweat more in the studio. Either that or Rola is just a sweater. She was already sweating right before the camera has started to roll. A few minutes into the video, beads of sweat can already be seen forming on Rola's forehead and the actor's back. 

In the first scene, they also took a risk and went for a minimal set-up. Rola has almost no make-up and her hair was done in simple pigtails. This "off-the-shower" look took advantage of Rola's natural beauty and it consistent with the series' theme.  

In another scene, Rola took on a more dominant role. She's wearing heels, her head over the actor, licking and spitting generous amounts of saliva all over her face. This is the first and only time I've seen this done in the series, and it is hot as hell. 

In the rimming scene, she did not skip around the asshole like most actresses. She went down and deep into the actor's asscrack with her entire tongue, making soupy sounds as she licks it clean. 

Despite her angelic looks, Rola is an animal. She was using her long lecherous tongue all throughout the video, licking on every inch of skin within her mouth's reach. She was drooling and slobbering all over the actors' body, staring at them with serious and horny eyes. Fans of Rola know she is one intense sex animal, but we can also applaud the video's direction for making the most out of their talent. 

ABP-013 really took the series into the right direction. Rola went 120% with her performance while the direction did a good job to make sure that the actresses and the set get soaked in love juices all throughout the video.

ABP-065 - Airi Suzumura

Cast: Airi Suzumori
Duration: 150min
Release date:  10-31-2013

For the last entry on our list, we have Airi Suzumora's first natural ingredients title, ABP-065. Right around this time, Prestige has already decided to take the series seriously, so its tropes have already been pretty much established. Thus, Airi Suzumur's entry looks and feel familiar to newer fans. 

Release in 2013, this "Natural Ingredients" title came rather early in Airi's career. Most of her fans will agree that Airi is sort of a late bloomer as a performer, and this showed in ABP-065.

Althought concept-wise, they really made Airi sweat buckets and fucked her good, her performance was a bit so-so. She was passive and tentative throughout the video. This is consistent with her image at the time. Most of her videos in her early career are vanilla and she has still yet to make herself comfortable in front of the camera. 

Moreover, the camera angles here seem a bit odd and unengaged. There is also a lengthy vibrator filler scene which did not help to push the video's momentum. 

Nonetheless, ABP-065 deserves a place in this list simply because this is the first time we get to see Airi properly broken in. There is something special in seeing a woman discovering other ways to have sex. Indeed, after ABP-065, we saw Airi bloom into a full-blown porn actress. We're sure getting licked and slurping sweaty assess has opened up Airi's sexual horizons. 

Fortunately, Prestige did another Natural Ingredients title for her, this time in HD and with a much more assertive and lively Airi. ABP-908, which we will discuss in another post, is an instant classic and is a much-watch for all Airi fans and followers of this popular series.  


There you have it, our incomplete list of the best Natural Ingredients titles. Are you also a fan of the series? What's your favorite "Natural Ingredients" video? Watch out for the next installments and don't hesitate to share your thoughts on the series.

I miss Shunka so much. One of the most beautiful actresses i've ever seen really. (Especially after she fixed her teeth.) She's teasing something on twitter but i doubt it's a return. She still posts some pictures from her active days though.

99.9% not a return. My two cents at least.
