BEAUTY VENUS Ⅷ
Beauty Venus returns after 3 years with this edition number 8. This edition doesn’t have S1, but it features an exciting trio. Both Sakura Momo and Yuzuriha Karen is in top shape right now and at the peak of their popularity. It’s the right move to have them together here. Itou Mayuki is also attractive on pair with the other two but feels like her glory days are over, and her looks have declined somewhat. She was absurdly hot at the beginning of her career, but with that said, she is still considered the top actress at Kawaii Studio. The video includes 3 duo scenes and 2 scenes with all of them.
