Passion Koharu
This is a work where Mirai Natsukawa appears under her old stage name, 'Koharu.' Even though it's an AV, it's shot like a short film, with many scenes unrelated to the sex. It feels like the director's self-indulgence, which is frustrating to watch. There are two male actors, and one of them, Shinji Osawa (Shin Nakazawa), had a beard and sideburns, and his peculiar moaning was disgusting. Because it's an old video ethics board (Biderin) release, the mosaic is huge, covering even the pubic hair. Some parts of the screen are entirely mosaic. Because the mosaic is so large, it's impossible to tell if the actual sex scenes are real penetration or just simulated.
This is my second time watching Koharu-san's work. She looks like an average girl, but I personally find her very charming. It seems she was plucked from obscurity, but she looks so attractive and cute during the scenes. She's a fascinating girl. It's not exactly 'sticky' or intense, but it doesn't feel like acting—it feels real, which makes her adorable. Also, the director clearly loves cinematography. It's an AV, but it feels like a short film. They maximized the actress's charm within the given constraints, and you can feel the love for the craft. Even for an AV, this deserves recognition. It's a good piece of work. If I had to add one thing, if she can master the more intense, melting-style scenes, she'll become a fantastic actress with great range.
