Bound to Sensuality with Maya Sakamoto
with English Subtitles

Read our exclusive interview with the production company behind this release!

In spite of being a bona fied indies Japanese AV production company, TANBIKAI has a knack for attracting a smorgasbord of diverse female talent.  Naturally nearly all women taking part have some aspect of a masochistic streak that Mr. TANBIKAI--aka EIZOH CHIBA--knows how to beautifully exploit, but there also have been encounters where the girls don't go down quietly.  Most often though, even the most outgoing woman bows atavistically to the nose hook.

Today in BOUND TO SENSUALITY, we feature a rarity on ZENRA: an AV actress of mixed descent.  MAYA SAKAMOTO is taller than average and has cute mouse-like facial features that mix wonderfully with a smallish Polish nose*.  After all, with a Japanese mother and a father from...Poland...that kinda makes sense.

(*And to any Polish readers out there, if the phrase 'Polish nose' is in fact derogative, please let us know and we'll amend the review!  We could not find information saying it was, but we don't want to offend you!)

BOUND TO SENSUALITY is by the books formulaic for a TANBIKAI release, but that in itself isn't a bad thing.  What makes their titles unique is the play that's involved and who it's done to.  Each actress always has something different about her and their reactions always bring about a frisson of erotic joy.  You'll sometimes see extremely vocal ones like our cherished RUMI TACHIBANA (which we had to remove due to it being too hard for sensitive American audiences!  Sorry!) and then there's cherubic goddesses like RIN MIYAKO.  We'd say MAYA SAKAMOTO falls in between.

She's not a mute though she is highly masochistic and errs on the side of introverted arousal.  She'll moan like the best of them, but will kowtow to Mr. CHIBA when requested and even the slightest bit of vibrator teasing such as what happened in the later parts of this update sent her into a spiral of non-stop orgasms.

We love how EIZOH CHIBA brings an almost festive atmosphere to his titles.  The theme may be highly bizarre Japanese S&M with a ENF and CMNF focus (embarrassed naked female and clothed male naked female respectively), but while other bondage titles may emanate despair and dread, TANBIKAI is more about miasmic shame where giggling is still allowed.

It's best to note now that we had to cut about 15 minutes out of the release due to an enema scene gushing to its natural conclusion.  There's a big reason why clear plastic wrap is affixed to the brown wooden floor of the TANBIKAI studio and sadly we can't hint at what happens though most of you can assuredly read between the lines.  Fortunately, BOUND TO SENSUALITY contained an 'off shoot' finale that was very light-hearted.  There, an essentially naked and surprisingly joyous MAYA was instructed to pose lewdly on a sofa this author has actually sat on several times.  An impromptu body check was conducted with special focus on her freshly evacuated anus.  She was embarrassed, but with her extreme nose hook drama behind her, was also in equally high spirits.

Will we see more of MAYA SAKAMOTO?  Well, she actually had an AV career for awhile and a quick search has turned up appearances by her in a variety of titles including one by MOBSTERS.  If we receive good feedback for this title along with demand to see more of her, we'll consider showing it.  MAYA has a really unique look and a body type that's not very Japanese so she's certainly someone we'd love to have another go with if you're all OK with that.
