BDA-026 - Full-Body Tattooed Yui Hatano: Broken and Submissive

A certain announcer once said that watching Yui Hatano is like admiring the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, and that was exactly my motivation for buying this. Setting aside the story or the techniques, the contrast of her sexy white skin with those vibrant tattoos is breathtakingly beautiful. I want to pause the screen and just take it all in.

I don't watch Yui Hatano's work often, but she has a great presence and a wonderful aura. Her moaning face is cute and alluring; this work was incredibly erotic too. I'm a bit confused about how the tattoos were handled. The tattoo element doesn't seem to mesh well with the gritty start and the sudden shift in tone later on. The initial tattooing scene was good, but it's impossible to depict the process of tattooing the whole body in this format, so the tattoos ended up just being an accessory to the plot, which created a sense of dissonance. The perversion and non-daily feel through the tattoos were well-executed and I was very excited, so it wasn't bad. It had a vibe similar to movies featuring tattoos like those with Yuriko Yoshitaka, or older ones with Masayo Utsunomiya and Ayako Wakao, so I feel like the use of the tattoo element was a bit sloppy and a missed opportunity.

However, it's categorized as POV, but it's not really POV at all. If it had actually been POV, I would've given it 5 stars, so that's a shame. The male actor shows his face and makes noise, which is distracting and annoying, so 1 star.

The concept is interesting, but they aren't actually carving anything; it's just that painting technique you see in period dramas. The plot progression makes no sense, so I have no idea what they're trying to show the audience. If it were a 'yakuza wife' genre piece, I might get it, but as an experimental film, it falls flat. The sex scenes are average, too. The problem is that the direction for a drama-based piece is just too lazy.

Hata-chan is great at playing both S and M roles (though the S might just be her natural self). During the M-bullying scene, she straddled his face, so I was hoping for a golden shower, but... nothing. She leaked a little during the act, but it lacked force and volume. As for the tattoos when she turns into an M-girl in the second half, the skulls look tacky and don't fit the vibe at all. (Especially the ones from her right shoulder down to her wrist—aren't those just yakuza tattoos?) The peony is artistically beautiful, so they should have just stuck with that instead of adding all these other designs. The little bit of leaking was also a bit disappointing.
