STARS-113 - The Final Chapter: Legend Nishino Sho's Retirement

One of Sho Nishino's final works before retirement. They call it a 'documentary touch,' but I don't get it—it doesn't feel erotic at all. Who is this for? I guess it just means she's become an auntie now.

This documentary-style work serves as the first step toward retirement for Nishino-san, who has been active for many years. Her sincere passion for adult content comes through deeply.

At the same time, the TV shows I hate most are talk-heavy variety programs. I haven't watched them in years because the scripted banter, sob stories from talentless comedians, and petty bickering are just unpleasant, not funny. Unfortunately, her first SOD release feels exactly like one of those variety shows. As someone looking for a dramatic narrative, this was tough to sit through. It’s a style common in European cinema (or Woody Allen in the US) where the creators are having a blast, but the audience is left completely cold—the worst way to make a film. Nishino Sho’s professionalism was clear back in her Ebisu Muscats days when she lost her voice due to a cold. She could have just lip-synced since there were so many members, but she felt it was disrespectful to the fans, so she took steroid injections to get her voice back. Now I understand why she gained weight from the side effects, but that belongs in a bonus feature, not in the main film where it just drags on with boring, self-important talk. The only highlight is the scene with Tabuchi starting at the 36-minute mark! She dyed her hair pink, so she shaved her pubic hair—whether that's fan service or just her being a neat freak, it's hilarious. The rambling from the skinhead guy that follows is tedious, and the bad-breathed old man in the final masturbation scene is completely out of place. I hope she redeems herself in the next one.

If you're looking to get off to Nishino Sho like in the beginning, you're better off picking her older works. As the title suggests, this is a full-blown documentary and nothing more than a prologue to fulfilling her SOD contract. The sex scenes are very plain, just making the veteran actor Tabuchi and a bald actor finish via oral and handjobs. Sho-chan's mature body was as erotic as ever, but not enough to finish to... I'm hoping SOD will give us a better work before she retires.

Since she's showing her completely unfiltered self, her competitive personality really comes through, which might make it seem like there aren't many 'hot' moments, but in terms of the sex, she's the cutest she's ever been in her career. Her 'comrade' Tabuchi really brought that cuteness out, and their chemistry is so good it's actually enviable. The things she says during the raw sex—like 'It's so hard,' 'I feel like my pussy is really stretched out,' and 'It's staying hard forever'—are incredibly erotic and super cute. During the close-contact missionary position, when she said, 'Fill me up deep,' and then immediately followed it with 'Ah, I'm cumming,' I was absolutely swooning. Aside from that, there are three chapters in total, including the 'educational' blowjob and the public masturbation by 'Shotaro' the masturbator. The last guy with the bad breath and smegma was a bit confusing, though. If this was some kind of negative campaign against her, I'd be disappointed in SOD, but I hope that's just me overthinking it. Her retirement announcement feels like she's following in the footsteps of her best friend, Akiho Yoshizawa. She claims moving to SOD is a way of burning bridges with her previous exclusive studio, but I want to praise SOD for releasing this before she retires. It looks like there are more countdown-to-retirement sequels coming, so I'll keep looking forward to more from 'Shotaro'.
