BLINDFOLDED STARK NAKED SEXUAL HAPPENING GAME is one of the most fascinating yet flawed JAV movies I've ever had the pleasure to subtitle and show on ZENRA.  It has so much going for it and yes, it has issues too.  Nevertheless, when you see the occasional AV OPEN make its appearance, you hope so very much to see some truly novel movies be sent for consideration.  Sadly, most JAV makers misread 'AV OPEN' for 'ORGY OPEN' and just take tried and true themes and add another girl or three.  I'd love to see original ideas like today's update be sent in instead.  THIS is what thinking out of the box looks like.

Even for ROCKET this is a strange movie.  It's bizarre, but not in the zany way the studio is known for.  I could almost see DEEP's doing this, but that's about it when it comes to the 'people monitoring' theme of Japanese adult video.  What I think happened is best described in that above imaginary exchange:  an assistant director at ROCKET had a unique idea and was given the OK to shoot it.  UE-CHAN is this person's name and strangely, this is the only title credited to them.  Did it do well?  Did it not?  I fear the latter is what happened which is a shame given how amazing this theme is.

Just consider this:  three scenes each featuring a man and a woman.  Both are naked from start to finish.  For the first 10 minutes, they have both blindfolds and earphones on.  Thus, we see them timidly try to explore their surroundings.  Next, earphones go off.  They start talking and soon realize they're not only not alone, but in a room with someone of the opposite gender and both are in their birthday suits.  Embarrassing!

30 minutes pass.  Blindfolds off.  You can almost consider their blinded conversation to be a really unique blind date.  They can get to know each other without seeing each other, but do so knowing they're in a very sexually-charged situation both being naked and all.  Once those blindfolds go off though, things really start to get strange:  In the first scene, in order to 'escape', we see a cherubic actress finding a note requiring her to covertly masturbate to orgasm without her partner finding out.  In scene two, it's to give a dick hanging from the ceiling a blowjob (while the man holds her up trying to avoid getting erect!).  The last?  No explicit directions, but rather one long, extended, and awkward naked first date that ends with...

...well, that last scene is where I had some serious issues with BLINDFOLDED STARK NAKED SEXUAL HAPPENING GAME.  While Japanese reviewers didn't really address it, it went on way too long, it starred a guy who came off as really creepy, and what we got was indeed an awkward clothing-free first date take home scenario that at times felt way too realistic EXCEPT for the sex at the end.  Was it staged?  You better believe it!  I've seen my fair share of fake coitus in JAV, but this one really takes the cake.  I know the budget may have been tight, but they could've done more.  Another issue that also was present in the second scene as well, but most prevalent in the third was how the sex was shoehorned in at the end.  I know they were pushing realism, but this is still adult video and having sex introduced sooner would have made the situations even more appealing to watch.

Looking up at this review, I sound critical and I don't mean to be.  I really, really like this movie.  I think the theme is incredibly unique.  I find the concept of two strangers of opposite genders being naked together in a bizarre setting fascinating.  I loved how they went from not knowing they had company to pure embarrassment to romantic coupling.  It's as unorthodox as you can get.  I'm saddened more than anything that ROCKET nor any other JAV studio, really, has filmed any more titles like this.  DEEP's comes close, but the whole naked from the get-go is what I'd love to see more of.

Score:  4/5

Pro's:  One of the most unique themes I've ever seen in a JAV movie.

Con's:  Third scene in particular drags and the sex is definitely staged.  Bad audio quality.
