I personally liked the Ririka vs. Rio duel. Her soft-spoken nature definitely got to Rio. It's too bad that pretty much after this episode, she kinda faded into the background towards the time she left.

「脂身あるよここに」　That seemed to be the line that really lit Risa's fuse.

That first pair of kanji mean 'meat fat' or 'fatty meat'.

I think Eri is taunting Risa by pretending she has some fatty meat, and she wants Risa to eat it (? - not sure about that bit).

Eiri does call Risa 'fatso' and 'stupid' (the two standard Muscat insults).

The 'potato chip' thing is followed by 'American'. Maybe, Eri is saying Risa eats potato chips like an American

Eri said that just looking at Risa's face irritates her then she went on to call Risa fat and stupid repeatedly. Then she said that because Risa eats potato chips all the time, that is why her physique became like an American. Finally she taunted Risa by trying to lure her with fatty meat and fried pork chops (tonkatsu)

Oh....so Risa doesn't like to remind her former fatty self, eh...?

I think Ririka/Natsuki Fukunishi didn't quite faint. When Haruna Orii left, she took her place as the MC of the Onedari SP edition of Namida Recital (Gonzales Sayama's debut).

One fact about Yui:

Yui entered AV under PREMIUM (2012) but she then retired a year later. This bashes the myth about a full Hokuto Corp AV Line-up of the girls.

idk why....but I also attracted to her smile. She also had that huggable body... :3 :3 :3

I miss Yui. Haven't seen what she's up to like how Mizuki Uruha has been gone since the beginning of 2013. I wonder if the same will happen to someone like, I dunno...Shinohara Saemi? Who knows..

Anywho, I kinda wrote something about the Muscats. This got published the other day!

That was definitely a good read. I never thought you could compare the Muscats with a group like the Onyanko Club (whose members either passed away or are now involved in variety shows with other older celebrities). It's great to see that rather than fade into obscurity, people can still remember them through the efforts of some of the members going into solo careers or forming other idol groups. Sure we may still know them as gravure and AV idols first and foremost but at least we can see another aspect they can bring to the table.

Yui right now owns a beauty salon, one thing that she wanted. Her new blog is full of it. She lived in a contentful life, still her smile lingers throughout her twitter account, which is awesome. I wanna pinch her cheeks if she lets me to do it.

Also, the article is a nice read. You really see their unique characters off the AV Camera and they are worthy to be like Apprentice Comediennes (Kaho could be close to be a comedienne if you ask me due to her energy when it comes to pulling out the laughs. Same as Aika, Yuria, and Yuma).

Before Muscats, I was exposed in JPOP (Yes, PHL has a vibrant JPOP Community, mostly AKBians). The group really changed my view on AV actresses: that they focused on their "jobs".

As for the possibility for other groups to be like Muscats, there is. Sexy J, PINKey...even the rival SOD wanted to have this kind of idol group (although a parody, still I see potential to those guys).

Back to Yui...if the Muscats were still going, I guess she has room to improve...along with her fellow 7th Gen comrades...but her exposure in "Honey Trap" was good enough for me.

Not sure I follow your logic here. Premium is part of Hokuto Corporation (now called outvision) and she didn't retire after Muscats ended. As mentioned many times in this thread before, Muscats was sponsored by DMM, which is run by Hokuto Corporation and all of the AV members belonged to one of their makers during their tenure in Muscats, it is a simple fact.

Yui releases AV under the name Emiri Tsukishima now if you are interested in that. Saemi does photoshoot event from time to time while working part time jobs.

Where did you see Yui owning a beauty salon now? I can't seem to find it on her blog?

A while ago, somebody asked about favourite Ebimasu moments.

This would be in my top 3.

The 'Asian Superstar' brought down to 'lewd woman' level by Kaho. I love it

Hokuto Corporation (DMM.com) is NOT a AV production company (it does not make JAV).

It is a distribution company. It distributes the DVDs to stores all over Japan (and online via DMM.com).

AV production companies (e.g. S1, Moodyz, IdeaPocket, PREMIUM, etc.) make the DVDs.

Production companies have a business agreement with Hokuto to distribute the DVDs they make.

AV stars (eg. Yuma, Sora, RIO, etc.) have a contract with a production company (who have an agreement with Hokuto).

Indirectly, the JAV actresses work for Hokuto Corp.

Ebimasu was made by TV Tokyo. The program was sponsored by DMM.com.

DMM.com paid money to TV Tokyo to make Ebimasu.

I did some research about how much it costs to make a program like Ebimasu.

In the US, 30 minutes of TV costs between $350,000 to $500,000 to make.

Probably, Ebimasu cost a lot less than that...say, $150,000 per episode.

That's $600,000 per month! DMM spent that money because Ebimasu helped them sell more DVDs.

In 2008 (when Ebimasu started), Hokuto's business was very good.

By 2013, Hokuto wasn't doing so good, and Ebimasu's big names were retiring or heading towards retirement.

Ebimasu - TV Tokyo - DMM.com decided to end the program for business reasons.

Some tweets of Jessica and Rin together plus Mui showing them the ropes. Quite literally.

Something about the 4th pic which is kinda erotic to me.

Maybe it's the hesitant but willing look Jessica is giving off or the patiently waiting Rin or the look of glee from Mui whilst tied up in ropes. Perhaps I need to tone down on the JAV watching.

Or the fourth one reminded me of....WHO DO YOU WANT TO SAVE?!

really diggin' the YUI love.

such a cute smile.

kei_sensei · « **Reply #3256 on:** February 07, 2015, 04:45:42 PM »

That really inviting smile though...

I watched one of her videos during her tenure in PREMIUM (My Girlfriend, Yui), though it is not finished. The video itself is a warm and cute, it makes me imagine myself with her on Valentine's Day if she was my girlfriend. :3 :3 <3 <3

Speaking of which, if you had one chance to have a date with a Muscat this Valentine's Day, who is it?

So it really was a business decision to end the Muscats (as opposed to suddenly disbanding at the peak). I guess a brief summary of all this info might be worth adding to one of the wikis out there. Also, that explains why they had the DMM.com commercials during each episode.
