First Time Lesbians Secret Hot Springs Vacation 4
Part One with English Subtitles
(Continue to Part Two)

There's always something special about seeing someone find true freedom no matter how bizarre their methods may be.  For some, it's totally out there bonkers revelations like coming out as an 'otherkin' (don't even bother looking it up...), and for others such as the four amateur Japanese women starring in today's and Friday's 4 hour-double update, it's simply coming out of the closet.

The FIRST TIME LESBIANS SECRET HOT SPRINGS VACATION is far and away from 'standard' lesbian JAV titles (not that we're against those!).  Titles like this one, the fourth and FINAL one in the series by GOGOS, are about real Japanese women in troubled heterosexual relationships (or lifelong singles) testing the waters of their true urges with women who have already proudly came out as lesbians.
 

Scene 1's original DVD cover
 

The gist for all scenes is simple:  a lifelong lesbian who manages an online discussion board has communicated privately with a new member.  After some talking, they agree to spend a weekend together at a hot springs inn.  There, explorations happen though it's something both parties have a pretty sound idea of before even the initial in-person meetup.

The type of suspense one may think would occur when a full-fledged lesbian throws herself on a woman who's only just on the fence is absent.  Remember, all four amateurs have already tiptoed into same-sex relationships.  This is not about lesbian JAV stars taking advantage of innocent and confused (and very pretty!) women.  Rather, it's about allowing those selfsame women to truly open up about who they really are.

GOGOS a few years ago produced a total of 16 encounters.  Each ran between two and two and a half hours (!) and met muted success.  The original versions of the hour-long scenes in this compilation series weren't bad, but just like THE TRAVELOGUE OF TAE, there was an *insane* amount of dialog before *any* action occurred.  One anonymous reviewer for one of the full versions of the scenes from today's update mentioned it took over 80 minutes (!!!) before the actresses even exchanged a kiss.

If you're not a fan of colossal buildups leading to glorious payoffs, then the abridged scenes in this series should float your boat.  Each of those 2.5 hour titles was cut down to an hour.  All the sex is still there and the dialog's immensely trimmed down...almost too much though if I can write honestly.  I felt adding a bit more dialog in between the sex scenes would have been nice as the actresses did feel fleshed out in the beginning, but once sex started at around the 15 minute mark of each scene, it was sex, sex, and nothing but sex until they concluded 45 minutes later.

Scene 2's original DVD cover

Of course being a one DVD release, 4 hours of SD footage is about the max that could actually fit on a disc.  I'm sure if GOGOS' editor had more room to squeeze in more footage, he or she would have included a bit more of the original conversion exchanges.  Minor nitpick though as these four encounters still are fantastic and all four women from the adventurous YUKI (who became one of the 'navigators' later on!) to pale and troubled MAI brought something unique and erotically stimulating to the table.

Special mention needs to be made for YUUKI (don't mistake her with YUKI from scene one!), the women in the second scene of HOT SPRINGS VACATION 4.  She had the best volte-face from confident women to 'true freedom lesbian' I've ever seen.  The way she remained transfixed on the naked body of navigator Sakie in the outdoor nighttime bath scene before they 'went to bed' was extremely memorable.  Her eyes were daggers glued onto two very bountiful targets.  It was intense to the point even navigator Sakie started to sweat some bullets and quickly turned a potentially awkward situation into something magical.

It's still a huge question mark as to the chances of GOGOS revisiting the FIRST TIME LESBIANS SECRET HOT SPRINGS VACATION series.  They may be known for their multiple titles each month mainly about married women doing exactly this, but in a heterosexual setting, though they still also regularly produce other lesbian titles like the famous AOYAMA MASSAGE CLINIC series.  Also just recently they introduced another new lesbian series that seems to be a cross between the realism of HOT SPRINGS VACATION and HOT ENTERTAINMENT'S 'WOULD YOU BE MY LESBIAN FRIEND?' series found here.  It's possible given enough demand and a promise to always show at least one lesbian title a month at ZENRA that we may show releases from this series in the future.  If you'd like that, we'll keep our ears open for some fan mail from you.
