Sniffing in Heat with Yuuka Houjou
with English Subtitles

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

One can hate mosaic and wish it was delivered to the lowest levels of Dante's Inferno to be chewed up by Satan himself, but one cannot also deny how much innovation this pesky little post-processing 'addition' has spurned in Japanese AV.  Many of the bizarre themes in the decades since Japanese AV came into being as the answer to seeing Pink Films in theaters only exist because their creators had no choice but to think outside of the box.

Even today with the trend or less mosaic and--gasp!--showing pubic hair becoming the norm, there's still a multitude of production companies churning out titles that are well off the beaten path of normalcy.  In fact, thanks to the internet which given proper procedures promises a new level of anonymity that take away the need for trench coats, hats, and sunglasses, users with peculiar fetishes can safety acquire and create without the worry of being caught.

And with that, welcome to the modern era of the discrimination-free zone that has allowed subculture AV fetish makers like FETIS the ability to thrive with their assortment of scent fetish Japanese adult video.

Sade Satou has a knack for filming the truly bizarre.  We've already featured titles by him in the past such as one featuring both SUMIRE MATSU and YUI KYOUNO dabbling in light amounts of cosplay and now we go back a bit further into the FETIS archive for a title featuring a rather outgoing YUUKA HOUJOU (previously known as KUREA MUTOU).

YUUKA HOUJOU as we see in her FETIS debut, SNIFFING IN HEAT, is not only outgoing, but physically has a rarity amongst Japanese women:  voluptuousness stacked by near perfect breasts.  Also, fans of 'tiny' women may be elated to know that Ms. HOUJOU has a height of only 143cm or 4'7"!

At 143 cm, YUUKA HOUJOU is so short she actually meets the height requirements to classified as a little person.  However, she's proportionately all normal so this not a 'little person porn'.  We don't have any of those yet on the table and don't even recall seeing any companies here in Japan producing any.  If that's your fix, you'll have to wait a bit longer unfortunately.

SNIFFING IN HEAT is also a very unique title in that the bulk of its 138 minute running time was shot in a super wide angle lens.  Sade Satou noted early on in the release that he chose to film this way as it 'amplified the fetish levels' of the shoot.  We can't say for sure whether this was a plus or minus for this release, but we certainly didn't mind it.  However, the only slight downside is that due to the wide angle, the bulk of the release has a visible ovoid around the picture.

Like previous releases from the same maker, smells and scents--both pleasant and horrifically rancid--come into play here.  Truly naughty AV play comes soon enough, but every time YUUKA HOUJOU is instructed to remove a garment, time is taken to savor the scent.  She even rubs it right up against the camera lens before continuing on her slow, but steady striptease to full-on nudity.

The highlight scene of SNIFFING IN HEAT is the natto portion that appears in the second scene.  Natto is actually a food (for some people).  It's fermented soybeans.  It looks like something your average person would simply assume to be rotting and it has a smell that that even we cannot describe, but yes, it's real and most Japanese people eat it.  Normally it's a breakfast food that's served over rice, but it also has found its ways into lunch and dinner too.

Sade Satou prepared a huge Tupperware full of this 'treat' and instructed a very naked YUUKA HOUJOU to empty it all over her expansive chest followed by giving him a titjob and blowjob.  This scene mixes food and adult entertainment in a way we rarely see and given the use of natto, may frighten some of our more sensitive viewers.

Nose play is not that common in the visual medium that is Japanese AV.  You really do need to use your imagination to 'visualize' the scents produced in this unique title.  Nevertheless, in spite of actual smells, it's still a great release and for the natto scene, you can simply open up a container of some if they sell in your area to get an idea of the stench it emits.  It may not be pleasant and just like SNIFFING IN HEAT, it's an acquired taste.
