逃亡～ボクの恋人のなみん篇～
Tôbô ~Boku No Koibito No Nonamin Hen~
If I was paranoid, I'd say that the idol production companies have a conspiracy to bankrupt me: not only does Takizawa Nonami have twin releases this month, Matsugane Yôko has two not five days later. Then in September, Takeuchi Nozomi also has a double release. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times as the cliche goes. Nonami's twin releases are from the always dependable Idol-One label and both definitely show Nonami at her most beautiful and alluring. Although the discs are titled as different chapters, Tōbō ~Boku No Koibito No Nonamin Hen~ and Rakuen ~Sexy Nonamin Ōdō Hen~, there's no real continuity between them as far as I can see.
If you've followed idol releases in the past couple of years, Tōbō's premise will be immediately familiar to you – the idea behind the glamour scenes and the connection between them is that you are to imagine this as a first person view of you and Nonami on a short vacation as she frolics, flirts, teases and plays around. In keeping with that premise, this is easily the chattiest DVD Nonami has ever released... she chats, giggles and converses with the camera almost constantly in most scenes. Further, the music will often fade out, so it will just be Nonami and the ambient noise in the scene.
The first thing you'll notice when watching the DVD is that, somehow, Nonami's already huge breasts somehow look bigger than ever. I don't think that this is so much due to any growth spurt or weight gain on her part, but rather than outfitting the model with the usual one size too small outfits, the wardrobe department has decided to decrease her top size even further. Her boobs are in constant danger of popping out of every single piece of clothing she wears on the disc. Bosoms aside, she looks as gorgeous as she always does – curvy body and the face of an absolute angel. She has got to be the world's most beautiful woman.
There are a total of ten scenes on the main part of the disc, excluding the opening, closing and the meager extras on the disc, which runs for slightly over an hour. The opening track, is the usual montage but is also intercut with scenes of Nonami at Narita Airport, ostensibly coming to see you, and then fun begins. Starting off at the beach (where else?), “you” and Nonami play along the shore and in the sand. As mentioned above, her bikini here has got to be at least two sizes too small to contain her I-cups – but that's exactly what her fans want. The following scene is not too much different in pacing – it starts out with Nonami sunbathing, next to a pool. You splash some water on her playfully, and she and jumps into the pool with an inflatable water ring and more cuteness ensues, along with some really incredible views of her boobs as the squish over the top of the water ring. Her bikini has changed colour but is fairly indistinguishable from her original one, and her hair is now in pigtails.
After the pool, you retire to her room where she shows you her new lingerie: a very small set of panties and bustier which is obviously underwired... her boobs look ridiculously huge here. After telling to look at her and asking what you think, the scene transitions into a more traditional gravure scene where Nonami poses and slinks around the room – at the end, she is lying on the couch as the camera comes in from above for a “kiss” and a fade out. Fade in after the deed (one of those use-your-imagination moments), Nonami is now walking about in a very skimpy set of black lingerie, she does her makeup a little, flops beside you on the bed and then we're onto the next scene.
Nonami apparently visits our house dressed in a fairly conservative white shirt, plaid skirt and glasses. Needless to say, she looks incredibly sexy. After coming into your home and asking where your parents are and the saying “Let's study” (personal note: good lord... I feel really old), “you” go in for a kiss, which seems to shock Nonami at first, then she displays a very aggressive sensuality – she pushes the camera back onto a couch and then proceeds to strip off her clothes to reveal a peach coloured bra and panty set which are the remarkably tiny. She then does a little posing routine on the bed as the camera closes in. The next thing you know, she's getting dressed and leaves the house before ma and pa get back. There seems to be a lot of implied sex in this one without it being overly risque. More bedroom games in the next scene as Nonami agrees to do some nurse cosplay in her hotel room for you. After listening to your heartbeat and using one of those blood pressure things (she really went all out), she gets pushed in the bed then a relatively traditional gravure scene takes place: she strips out of the nurse costume (revealing some white lingerie) while posing and vamping on the bed. Lots of boob close ups in this scene – more than usual, I mean.
You walk in as Nonami is taking a shower in the next track. Of course, in the fine tradition of gravure idols, she is showering in some lingerie. Although there is a little banter at the beginning, this one is mostly a traditional gravure scene... lots of boobs pressed under glass and vamping. Nice, but nothing overly new. Shortly thereafter , you're back in the bedroom and it's time to sleep. Theortically, anyway. The next scene opens in the morning, with Nonami wearing a white shirt. After prompting her to get up, she teases you by coquettishly removing her panties while not revealing anything scandalous by covering up in her oversized shirt.
After that, Nonami is on the balcony in some underwear and a top which can only be described as barely holding her Nonami's boobs. After drinking a cup of water (which she mostly spills down her front... serious lack of coordination apparently), “you” give her a flower then she thanks you by, inexplicably, doing a little dance, which mostly involves her bouncing up and holding the front of her shirt together so she doesn't pop out. After that she poses on top of her dance table, pressing the flower in her impossibly deep cleavage. Then it's work out time, and as all trendy Japanese women know, that means yoga. Its a cute little scene which involves Nonami playing about with “you”. What really makes this one stand out is simply that this is easily the smallest, tightest top she has ever worn... it's mind bogglingly wonderful.
After yoga, you and Nonami go wandering about the resort grounds. Nonami is wearing a really loose sundress which is designed to take maximum advantage of her cleavage. After a stop at small shop to get some pineapple juice, it's down to the beach for more watery fun. Nonami, it seems, does not have a problem wading about in the water despite that she has no other clothes. Of course, the real reason for the entire scene is to get her parading around in a tight, wet set of clothes, and in that respect the scene works great. The final scene has Nonami in a sling type of swimsuit, which is totally backless and provides minimal coverage for her womanly charms at the front. At first, she does the usual goof around with the camera routine which provides plently of ogling opportunities, but then the end of the discs takes on a slightly bittersweet mood. Nonami, upset that she has to leave, runs out of the cafe you are chatting in. As you follow her, she looks back with a genuinely sad, upset expression. Once the camera catches up to her, she talks a little, then as the disc fades out with a sweetly smiling Nozomi looking longingly at the viewer.
The other materials are the typical Idol One offerings, a static profile page, a short behind-the-scenes movie, and a selection of slides. Nothing out of the usual.
I know that majority of people only watch idol DVDs for the titillation factor, but when you look back at the disc as a whole, she actually acts rather well through out, and I mean beyond the general posing and preening which makes up the bulk of glamour tracks. I admit: when I figured out the premise of Tōbō, I was skeptical that a whole disc dedicated to the virtual boyfriend theme could be watchable without turning annoying very quickly. Nonami and the production crew proved me wrong - Tōbō was an extremely enjoyable disc which not only showcases the sexy, beautiful Nonami in all her glory, but proves that she has some acting chops and provided an “outside-the-box” glamour disc which never felt too arty or slow. One caveat – if you can't speak any Japanese, you probably won't get quite as much out of the disc. Still, the incredible images of Nonami and watching her interact with the camera are well worth the price of admission.
