HMN-283 - Zero-budget AV production! Ichika Matsumoto's 3rd anniversary challenge

Happy New Year🌅 My first review of 2026 is for the Year of the Horse, and since she actually owns a horse herself, I decided on this work!! It's none other than the top actress representing the Reiwa era, Icchan, Ichika Matsumoto!! This unique, inimitable project and the unexpected creativity—the director and producer are amazing, but Icchan for executing it is even more amazing (*≧∀≦*) Icchan riding the horse and galloping gallantly was so cool!! The feeling of being one with the horse came through even through the screen! It was a masterpiece with laughter, happenings, eroticism, love, and emotion; it was the best~ ･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+ 'This is Ichika Matsumoto!!'—I'm just in awe of her massive presence, kindness, and genius-level eroticism🎩 I will support Icchan with all my might this year too ٩( ᐛ )و Ichika Matsumoto is the best(￣^￣)ゞ Ichika Matsumoto is justice!!!

So it's the 3rd anniversary in 2022... There are so many works that I thought it had been around longer. Apparently, Ichika-chan's horse appears in this because the manufacturer heard she owned one and thought, 'Let's put in a horseback riding scene like the Abarenbo Shogun!' But I think having the actress sell her personal belongings or gamble to earn production costs is just a performance. It's a given that the manufacturer should cover production costs; if they made the actress pay, it wouldn't pass human rights screenings. Also... the first time I watched it, I was too distracted by the premise to actually get off.

It's just my personal preference, and it's probably too much of a risk for the studio, but I would have loved 20 more minutes of Ichika-san taking care of the horses. I don't dislike the director, but couldn't they have cut down on scenes like that phone call? It's impressive how she manages to be so sexy and cute even while doing 'work' for the money.

Since it's a documentary, I suppose this is her real self, but Ichika is quite foul-mouthed in this—flipping the bird and saying things like 'go die once.' Yet, instead of feeling put off, I found her irresistibly cute. Maybe it's the magic of Ichika Matsumoto that makes me feel this way, even though I usually prefer more 'good girl' types. There are some downsides, like the awkward placement of the sex scenes and the fact that the male actor's face is blurred despite everyone being named, but as a fan of Ichika Matsumoto, I'm glad I watched it.

Director Tiger's anniversary works for his actresses are always fun! Seeing Ichika-chan being her natural self is just so cute! She really has a way of brightening up the people around her. It might not be the right work for those looking for pure erotica, but it's a joy to see the real Ichika-chan. Simply put, she's adorable.
