Timing and Translation by ZENRA

(Continue to Second Half)

Can a JAV series ever run its course? Or so long as the cast keeps changing with new faces in each iteration, can something popular essentially run forever? The answer mainly depends on three factors: the casting of these new faces, the performance of the actor(s), and production finesse. Fortunately, HOT ENTERTAINMENT does not slack in pretty much all of these though as noted before, among their two concurrent FFM series, I've always felt the one we're showing from today, NANPA LEADS TO RISKY THREESOMES, to be the weaker of the two.

Their other FFM nanpa-oriented series, NANPA LEADS TO SURPRISE THREESOMES, which actually did not run as long in the opinion of this reviewer at least (who also happened to subtitle almost all of them thus knows them inside and out!), overall is the better of the bunch. The issue is simple: the casting pool and the budget. Frankly, there are less older women in JAV. Sure, we have studios like RUBY, CENTER VILLAGE, GLOBAL MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT, and at times GOGOS that feature mature performers, but most don't appear in more than a handful of movies because there just aren't that many offers. It isn't coincidental the legendary MILF performers of our day also have been in the industry for well over 15 years each; their roles as MILFs extraordinaire essentially have been earned over time, not by debuting already in their forties.

Fortunately, it's not that HOT has issues casting older women; in fact, the two we get in today and next week's dialog-packed double update are pretty easy on the eyes: KAORU KINOSHITA is a prime example of showing what staying in shape looks like as one gets older and dare I say it, SERINA KANZAKI had more of my attention than her younger costar, AI SANO, in the second half of this release. The issue though is less face per say and the ability of them to click. One can even say that in spite of youth being a selling point, an issue I've noticed appeared in later iterations of this series is an issue of clicking. Like a certain Greek black metal band that changed their sound for the better in 2007 and followed it up with two great albums that advanced the sound to new heights only to fall flat with their lackluster 2017 release (and then made an about face in 2019 and only again to fall flat with their latest album released exactly a week ago!)** , is NANPA LEADS TO RISKY THREESOMES 11 showing signs of too much of the same thing?

This review is not meant to be a total buzz-kill. The 10th had solid casting which at least per eye candy continues here. In fact, EMA MAEDA in the first scene is both super adorable and had a perfect smile/"has the world gone crazy?" face throughout the entire encounter. There were multiple instances she innocently looked at the camera with a "wow, so this is happening, huh?" gaze that you don't see too often. Unfortunate she did not get completely naked like her co-star did, but she still was very much involved in the wild romance that followed and as of writing this, still remains active in the Japanese adult scene.
