Timing and Translation by JM84

Going into a review for what may be AI UEHARA's first uncensored release is a toughie. There are so many angles at one's disposal it almost causes writer's block thinking on how to begin. But I will make an attempt to make sense of this slightly short (56 minutes) but still surprisingly varied and robust release and to churn out a review that does it service.

For starters, the best way one can describe AiU is not necessarily "the most beautiful woman ever to appear in JAV", but one whom via a nearly perfect and pale marshmallow body (now toned down in her post-JAV life) avoided the exclusive trap* many an industry co-star may fall into it. Rather, Ai Uehara is the JAV star who never said "no". Just like how we note in our actor guide, this is not an issue about consent, but rather one about offers: if a legit offer came, no matter the studio, no matter the role, Ai Uehara happily took it. Sort of like Marica Hase from some years previous, AiU gained fame via her curves and jaw-dropping shooting schedule. 

*One of these days I will pen an article on our blog about why in most (but not all!) situations, the trend of new faces going and staying exclusive with one big studio is a really, really bad idea for the performer's bottom line.

Active during that amazing period leading up to 2017 where big name censored stars stage-names in tow crossed over and shot mosaic-free releases from time to time, it was only a matter of time when AiU would do the same...and that she did! With almost half a dozen movies of this caliber (and yes, we licensed all of them), we are started with where it all began: PASSION CONTINENT.

With the introduction out of the way, allow me to move on to the other elephant in the room: if you're a JAV fan, you probably have seen this movie. ZENRA is not a site about brand new releases, but is one about 'unique' releases regardless of original publication date. To our detractors, it may come as a surprise that for most studios, if we wanted, we could license new movies, but factoring in subtitle time (as we do it manually for full accuracy) and also the cost to do it right, it makes more sense to focus on movies that are like the nails that stick out, but instead of pounding them back in, we professionally add captions. So yes, some may have seen this, but unless you speak and read fluent Japanese (as this one bucks the uncensored trend with a good deal of on screen captions), you haven't seen this movie the way it's meant to be seen.

This review is getting long in the tooth, but talking about the movie itself has yet to be achieved: PASSION CONTINENT is DREAMROOM's version of a behind the scenes look at masters of their craft doing what they do best. Thus, the structure has a heavy behind-the-scenes element to it. Here, on top of the interviews that serve as interludes, we've three scenes: a real creampie soapland scenario (awesome), a blowjob quickie (could have been better), and another full sex real creampie scene that also concluded with tried-and-true bukkake. As noted early on, while running only 56 minutes, you do get your money's worth. Ai Uehara, folks.
