START-056 - Original document. A man and a woman alone together, staying in a hotel all day engaging in sexual activity. Ayatsuki Nano

*I went to see it with high expectations because it was a collaboration between a popular actress and Tabuchi, but it was all shot in a hotel, which I hate, and I was concerned about Tabuchi's body because she had a lot of bumps on it. Are you okay?

I wasn't expecting much since it was advertised as a hidden camera thing, and the date scenes with Tabuchi were just like hanging out with an old man, so I fast-forwarded through them. With a director and cameraman on set, it might be okay as a hidden camera documentary if it was supposed to be just the two of them. But I don't really recommend hidden camera works that much. One reason is that the framing can be awkward. The interaction with Tabuchi is bland, so if I had to say something, it's just not very exciting. The actress isn't at fault, but I think they needed a more user-focused direction. There are a lot of things to consider. It's a shame, but I wish they had used someone better than Tabuchi.

It's a pretty common setup, makes you wonder why they even need a director and cameraman. At this point, actors like Shimiken have mastered self-shooting skills. If it's supposed to be just the two of them or a documentary, they should just let those guys handle it – and there are plenty of excellent hidden camera works that do. The title says 'intimate pleasure documentary,' but the director's ego is the only reason for intervening, ruining the authenticity and immersion. If they want to be on set so badly, they should just become actors and film it themselves. It feels like they're just saying, 'I worked on a project with this theme,' without actually doing anything worthwhile. This kind of approach harms both the actress and the actor, and I really wish they'd reflect on it.

The setting is a hotel! So healing to see Ayatsuki Nanatsu being adorable with a veteran actor. The scene where they're being cute together in the bath is the best.
