So MIDE-495 finally finally dropped. Normally I don't pay any attention to vids before release. But this one... eh... I chanced upon the cover and was fed the wrong release date (early by a whole month) so I was really losing my cool waiting for the drop... FINALLY
So I think I was right to call it a continuation (but crossed from SOD to Moodyz) of the series. And there was some "upgrade" and a slight different treatment due to change of director/producer.
The "upgrade" is a more melodramatic backstory. JULIA is a one-woman business now (owner and janitor), after a too-brief intro showing Julia in very skimpy outfit cleaning the bathhouse (in Aimi's version, the cleaning scene was longer and excellent warm-up for fapping) we see Julia frowning over the accounting book. Then she went over to a shrine of a man, either her late father or (much more likely) late husband. She makes a little prayer, I guess something along the line, "I promise to take care of this business which is the most precious important thing you left me".
Then she chance upon an old book in the corridor with the title "History of Sento (bathhouse) ~ Book of Tiger", in it she read that in the Edo period, some Sento offers "direct" or "indirect" something something enhanced service to bathers. So that's it, she will revive the old traditions to turn the business around from failure!
I do appreciate these set-ups scenes, despite it doesn't directly contribute to fapping. A little frown, small gestures and dialog consisting of sentences and multi-syllable words. Notice she's wearing very casual and very little. Thin see-thru t-shirt and hot hot pants at home is common enough. But she even unbuttons and pull the zipper 1/4 way down, showing just a tiny bit of panty. It is fappable? Totally not. Well ok not totally, but it's at best 5% fappable (and my nuts were ready to burst from waiting a month for this vid). Still the director/idol going out of his way to add a little extra exposure, a little eye candy. I do appreciate it.
A hand-written sign saying "New Service - 1000 Yens" is posted, the first customer who tries it is now the first sex scene. The idea is that Julia didn't start out to convert a family friendly (in real world, bathhouse are clean businesses) establishment to a whorehouse. So she was figuring it out starting modest and with new transactions (each sex scene) gradually upgrade her services (and income). I get a huge kick it costs only 1000 Yens (barely more than a happy meal) for what turns out to be a awesome washing and handjob. Unfortunately the director wants to establish this escalating plotline chose to make Julia wears way-too-much cloths for this scene. No tits, ass, no blowjob. Disappointing.
The following scenes finally we get some good fappable scenes. I just want to highlight the interesting bits. The charm of the series isn't in hardcore sex, the title (and the setup scenes) advertise three (or more) different levels of service, so obviously some customers will only pay for a cheaper service, titfuck or blowjob. So some scenes you don't get the full service. That's a small negative for sure. But the point is to emulate a real world business. So one thing I got a huge kick out of, is seen in the third pic above. Customers are just discovering the new offerings and saw one such service (a blow job) being provided. So she interrupt her sucking to explain the new service. I always enjoy that... talking scenes with some nudity and sex. And customers and Julia discuss or negotiate the terms of transaction. E.g. a customer requesting, and Julia hesitated then agreed to, take off her last piece of garment (panty) to give the customer a wash.
I also dug into the title and text a little, and got myself some geeky enjoyment. E.g. I think I figured out the phrase "秘壺おちんぽ清浄" the third (top price point) service being offer: "washing of penis using a secret vase". What is the
secret vase???
An awesome awesome vid, compare to the all-sex vids of hers in last 2 years.
