OK, Yokophiles, here's the quick scoop on Matsugane Yoko's latest DVD, Houyo Ron, released 3/21/08. I'll let JustMeMike do his usual bang-up job of reviewing the DVD and speaking to the particulars, and just say....
Humina humina....
Now I know I am unbiased when it comes to Yoko, but it looks (from my cursory review at lunch today of about half of it while fast forwarding) like it is a keeper!
First, she LOOKS great. Not quite at her Sweet Pi/Nagomi peak of voluptuousness, but pretty damned close. Don't let any of the cover art fool you. Of course, she is maturing and losing baby fat as any woman in her 20's does, and her boobs aren't as stand-at-attention-like firm as they were in Dulcet, etc., early in her career, but that is OK. In some fashion, she looks to have compensated, much like Chloe V.--could they be getting bigger naturally?! God, in some scenes her tits look MASSIVE. Also, she has some flesh back on her now, so when she runs or jumps, she looks all womanly, in all the right places. She is nice and hourglassy again, and much as I adore Miyabi Isshiki, when Yoko has her hips back, poor Miyabi can't quite compare. I only viewed about 5 or 6 of the scenes, but she looks just awesome in all of them--giggly and happy and care-free like the Yoko of old.
I have to speak briefly of one of the scenes--where Yoko is exercising in a red bikini by 1) sitting on and bouncing up and down on a big beach ball (*dies*); 2) hula hooping (*HEART ATTACK* Dies again!!!*) and 3) doing some pulley exercises.
Whoever scripted/shot that one is a sublime genius, and there is no doubt about that.

I'll be sending this off to Mike to review soon enough, but if you're like me and can't wait for new Yoko, you won't be disappointed.
