KKJ-055 - Real Seduction: Married Woman Edition 34 - Street Pickup to Hotel, Secretly Filmed and Uploaded

They've been trying to shake things up lately, but I feel like this series has lost its former popularity. They've condensed the dialogue to include more shower/dressing scenes, and changed sets so that post-insertion scenes happen in a different room. The former is a good move, but the latter is questionable. It's not bad, but... as has been the case for a while, the camera work for the two actresses is inconsistent. This time, the part with Airi Ichimatsu was definitely better. I personally watched this for Saki Miyamoto, so that was a letdown. I actually left a review for the previous entry disagreeing with someone who said 'one side is good, but the other is always half-assed,' but I think I want to retract that statement (laughs). That's how much of a difference in quality I felt between the two parts. That's not to say Miyamoto's part was a total failure; they captured her strengths to an extent. But with a little more effort, it could have been so much better. For example, she has beautiful, fair skin, so the harsh sunlight coming through the window during the first half was unnecessary—it just washed her out. Also, despite her incredible 'rocket' breasts, there wasn't enough focus on them. And the choice to use long shots for every kiss scene is baffling. Kisses should be close-ups, or at least framed to show the whole body. They use these wide, overhead 'hidden camera' style shots a lot, but I really don't see the point. It's fine as a spice, but I don't understand the desire to show a long-distance kiss for nearly a minute and a half. I always think it would be more mainstream-friendly without that. Maybe that's why the popularity is dropping. Still, Saki Miyamoto is great. Based on her delivery, she could probably handle dramatic roles; if she signed with a label like Madonna, she might leave behind some great work. She's still new, so there aren't many titles, but I have high hopes. If the packaging or sample caught your eye, definitely check it out. The 4 stars are entirely due to her performance. If the production had been better, it would have been an easy 5 stars.
