Bathhouse Companions
with English Subtitles

Going by the theme of today's update via V&R, I've a feeling we may receive some emails wondering if the concept of 'bathhouse companions' is real.  Well, here's the answer:  maybe.  Companions do exist.  Heck, Japan is far from the only country that has pretty (and usually young) women selling their time to be your 'plus one' at events and parties.  So on that note, it sure is possible to take one with you to a dinner party at a bathhouse as larger ones with lodging on site will almost certainly have banquet halls as well.  Will she also literally bathe with you in a mixed group setting?  That's where doubt sets in.  Privately, on the other hand?  Depending on how much you're paying her, that at least may actually happen.

BATHHOUSE COMPANIONS is the first of four titles V&R released way back when.  Yes, 'when', as we're unabashed to note here and now way up top of this review that this is a #ClassicJAV release.  Sure, it isn't new, but it's a master tape transfer and it's subtitled--two things as of writing this you can't find anywhere else.  Uber JAV fans may already be familiar with this series as it was carried over to ROCKET where at least three more were filmed (that we may show at a later date).  After all, the first few years of V&R PRODUCTS's (not to be confused with PLANNING which is their parent company) existence had them essentially being the prototype for ROCKET.  Most of their directors are the same that left the company in 2008 to start ROCKET (long story) hence the similarities in themes.  We sure won't complain because what they did was pure awesomeness in a time where money in the JAV industry was near limitless.

Today's update features five actresses all with huge breasts.  Their 'leader', RIO HAMASAKI may have one of the best pairs I've ever seen though all of them get worthy mention.  And speaking of acting praise, I'm really starting to like TAROU KAI.  He's the older guy who played the boss.  We saw him just a few months ago in this *amazing* game show update and while he may be far from young (and gosh knows his age now!), his vigor and stage presence is intense!  I was happy to see that he could also perform and may have shot the biggest load in spite of being cast with guys much younger than him.

From the get-go, BATHHOUSE COMPANIONS follows Boss Kai having a party for employees from his construction company.  While staff count is low, the party is incredibly festive and reaches (and maintains!) fever pitch with the introduction of the five companions.  Their addition turns this into nearly nonstop debauchery.  The bathing scene is fantastic and even the fun before that where play is carefully juggled between carefree and overtly sexual is top-notch.  The final orgy scene running almost an hour should suit the needs of near anyone.  It's a classic title in more ways than one that doesn't end in any creampies, but features nothing but real cumshots.  This author may be one of the few who prefer keeping things real even if that means condoms, pull-outs, and squirting away from danger zones.

We at ZENRA love the era that created releases like this one.  Sure, a title like BATHHOUSE COMPANIONS may not be in crystal clear FHD, but with even the biggest of studios pushing out less and less group movies, it's well worth looking back at some of the zaniness that really made JAV so darn unique!

Note:  V&R requires all titles licensed out to third-parties like ZENRA to retain their small and nearly transparent watermark in the top right corner of the screen.  Thus we apologize for the footage containing both their logo along with ours in the bottom right.  If you find recently released movies by V&R on websites without their watermark, then consider reporting the web addresses to them.
