STARS-731 - 古川いおり 引退/前編 上京してから女優として生きた10年を辿りついに到達した人生で一番感じるSEX

Since it's a retirement work, half the runtime isn't erotic. For some reason, there's footage of skydiving included. It also features a takoyaki party with Hibi Hata and behind-the-scenes talk with actors. As for the sex scenes, she seemed to enjoy herself more with Taku Yoshimura than with my favorite, Isedon. She even said it was emotional at the end... The talk with Taku Yoshimura was interesting. They started by saying, 'I thought you hated me (since we never worked together)' and 'I thought you were rejecting me,' and they spent the whole time reminiscing. It's surprising that two people who appear in so many works hadn't worked together in 8 years.

There's a lot of non-erotic content, but it's worth watching for the talk with Hibi Hata and the conversations with the actors. The sex scenes feature her debut partner, her favorite actor, and a big-cock actor—it seems she has a personal attachment to these, so it's a must-see.

The first part alone is quite long. Among it, there are very long scenes that feel 'un-AV-like,' fitting for a commemorative work. I wanted to see that side of things, so I enjoyed watching her journey since coming to Tokyo and her talk with the veteran Hibihata. She's often pigeonholed as a 'method actor,' but hearing her say she prefers working with a script and adding her own flair rather than improvising made me admire how hard-working and sincere she is. For viewers with this intent or fans who want to keep this as a commemorative piece, it's a perfect fit. One thing, though: the balance of the structure felt off. The skydiving scene must have taken a lot of effort and budget, but the transition—cutting the context and just saying 'okay, she jumped, moving on'—felt jarring. It might work in an art film, but since the rest is a laid-back variety format, it felt abrupt. Honestly, why even include the skydiving? Not that it matters.

*This is a work that once again makes me realize that people grow old. I felt like I couldn't say anything.

I'm so sad and heartbroken that Iori is retiring. You can really feel her passion in this work, and her climax performance absolutely blew me away.
