Akari confessed to me when she was 18 and I was her teacher. I kept my distance until she graduated, and we eventually married with a 20-year age gap. Life was perfect until I noticed something wrong with her one morning. The doctor diagnosed her with dissociative amnesia. Now, as she slowly forgets who I am, I have to face the heartbreaking reality of our fading memories.










When directed by Asagiri, both the visuals and the story are guaranteed to be top-tier, and with a powerhouse actress like Akari Mitani in the lead, it's a masterpiece. The male lead, Ippei Nakada, is masculine throughout, which really highlights the fragile nature of Akari Mitani's character. It's truly tragic that the starting point of their marriage is directly linked to the cause of their downfall. Was it really the right solution for Akari to be taken in by her mother due to her illness? The lingering, heavy feeling typical of Asagiri's tear-jerking works remains in my heart. Couldn't they have taken the time since they were 15 to build a new life together, even if not as a married couple, but perhaps as a pseudo-father and daughter? I'd love to see an epilogue or a prequel, but with Mitani's retirement, it's a shame that it will likely never happen. I want every AV fan to watch this film, which is truly Akari Mitani's magnum opus.
This is a drama-style production that rarely tackles dissociative amnesia in AV. Its ambition is commendable, and regardless of the overall quality, it stands apart from previous drama-style AVs. It ends on a sad note, and I found myself reflecting on the necessity of that ending versus the possibility of an alternative one. First, as a premise, these types of works must establish the couple as being very happy at the start. That happiness then crumbles due to the wife's amnesia, which helps the viewer get emotionally invested. Regarding the necessity of the ending, it felt unnatural that there were no scenes of the husband trying to help his wife recover after the diagnosis. It would have been more poignant if the couple and the doctor had fought the illness together, only to face a tragic outcome. In short, if you're going for a sad story, you need to commit to the sadness. As for an alternative ending, they could have shown the couple and the doctor's efforts paying off, leading to a happy ending as she shows signs of recovery. This would have created a high-low-high emotional arc for the viewer. That said, she did a great job portraying the anxiety of someone losing their memory. It’s a shame, because the lack of nuance in the emotional buildup to the final scene really held back what could have been a great work.
*It has a high degree of perfection as a drama. The story was heartbreaking, and even though it was an AV movie, I felt sad. As other people have commented, I would have liked them to start a new romantic relationship instead of breaking up (I hope this happens in the sequel). Juri-chan is cute, and Nakata-san has great taste. The entanglement and tongue were both thick and good.
*This is an AV work starring "Akari Mitani". A 28-year-old wife gradually forgets her past with her husband due to memory loss. Eventually, her memory regresses to when she was 15 years old, when she had an accident long ago, and she completely loses her memory of her husband. The contents are as follows: "25 years old ~ Aggressive sex creampie" "20 years old - Two people in the bathroom, blowjob and ejaculation in the mouth and SEX on the sofa (no ejaculation scene)" ``18 years old ~ SEX creampie filled with the feeling that I will soon forget my boyfriend and don't want to forget'' "15 years old - I don't remember it, but I had sex when the other person inside me wanted to be with me" And each SEX is During sex at the age of 25, she actively wants to have a child and cums inside her. When having sex with a 20-year-old, you are asked to carefully wear a condom from the beginning. Having sex at the age of 18, she had intense sex and creampie in the sadness that she would soon forget him. Sex at the age of 15 is a confusing sex that the other self is looking for for some reason It's the same SEX, but the content is different. Sex with an 18-year-old with a feeling of being forgotten soon was good, but sex with a 15-year-old is also good. Sex with a 15-year-old was short, about 15 minutes, and she was almost in a tuna state, but it was wonderful to be able to convey her feelings. Although it is directed by Asagiri, there are many good works by him. Also, the performer, Akari-chan, does a good job, and the actor, Nakata-san, is also good. I've seen Asagiri's work starring these two before, and it was very good. It's good after all. The works of these three people.
I've always loved Director Jo Asagiri's works for their solid storytelling, and the ones featuring Nakada-san and Mitani-san have all been top-tier. But this one? It’s head and shoulders above those cheesy, tear-jerker dramas they put out these days! I really hope to see another project from this 'Golden Trio' (sorry for coining the term myself)—Director Asagiri, Ippei Nakada, and Akari Mitani!
