Timing and Translation by ZENRA

Every series has its trademark and that surely includes ROCKET's Private Parts Guessing Game. The multiple reverse glory hole panels, the game show vibe, the female host in the red happi--but stop. Right there. Super long time fans of this series may realize that while RIRI KOUDA may not have been the OG host of the series, it's been hers longer than anyone else's. Akin to YS from Aoyama Lesbian Massage whom also was not the first therapist, but surely the greatest, even when ROCKET opted to shoot more and presumably for a time RIRI opting to focus more on her stripper career, they decided to use other performers. As we've noted in previous reviews for this series for episodes that don't feature RIRI, her 'fill-ins' did try hard. Never did I consider any to bring down the quality of the series, but still, none were RIRI...

...and we're glad she's back!

It's only been a few months on ZENRA since the last one, but in OG production order, there was a two year (!) gap between today's update and an even longer three year (!!) gap since RIRI last donned that happi. The most important question: is the wait worth it? Is RIRI just as energetic yet commanding as she has in the past? What about the movie itself? Are the games on point? Is the cast eye candy? Sadly, the answer to the first question is mixed, actually. THE PRIVATE PARTS GUESSING GAME - THE RETURN OF RIRI KOUDA in terms of structure follows the previous one we showed almost to a T: rather than multiple teams, it's just one making for each round running probably a bit longer than what's needed. And also sadly, the penalty game is super obvious and while visually pleasing, not as crazy as we've seen in the past.

The casting, fortunately, is really really good. Look, a bit of industry knowledge--or more like common sense: ROCKET may be a mainstream JAV studio, but these types of movies may be harder to find ideal performers. For some of the bigger names, contractual issues aside, many would see performing in such a 'goofy' role 'below them'. For many, they just want to dial in a performance in a once-monthly vanilla movie where they look sexy having sexy sex. Still, ROCKET nailed it this time as RINO YUUKI is both a babe, but a unique one who also seems to take most any roles. The same can be said as well for AZUSA TANI whom I can't believe I never heard of till now and also commendable is the shortest of the trio, RIHO SHIRAHASHI.

Continuing with casting, as this review nears its end point, I'd like to focus a bit on the male contestant. Not only is this guy easy on the eyes and a new face, for most of the movie he had this "holy cow, I'm actually doing this, this is sooooooo cool! I've jerked off to this series 859 times and now I get to do it for real with Rino Yuuki!" look on his face. It was funny in a heart-warming way and thankfully, he delivered when needed. We wish him the best including many more opportunities to bang RINO YUUKI among many other performers that populate our blessed JAV industry.
