This is Hikari's second modeling video. It was very much hit and miss. There was some really hot footage, but the problem was they just didn't have enough different ideas. The shower scenes and the opening the curtains scenes ruled hard. I didn't mind when Hikari did an add for Anaconda at the end of a JWP show. Hell, even though the special effects were great, that was probably cooler and definitely a better use of time than watching that typically mediocre Hollywood special effects tour de force. However, I didn't need to see Hikari dress up to hunt through the jungles of deepest darkest Africa, perhaps in search of Akeem (maybe not because she wasn't shown checking any garbage cans). To try to mask the fact that they didn't have enough ideas, they showed a lot of "making of" footage. I wouldn't have minded that they showed the same scene more than once if the camera angles were about as good, but for the "making of" they basically just left an unmaned camera on a tripod somewhere behind where the regular camera man. It was a great 10 minute video stretched out to 30 minutes. I guess the idea was to get you to buy the La Fiesta DVD that is longer, has some type of "story," and doesn't show the same things over and over, but probably all the best stuff is on here at least once. I enjoyed the tape and I wasn't disappointed with it because I figured coming in it wouldn't be Scholar's best work, but it would be very similar to the Motoya video. In fact, even though I think Motoya is far more attractive than Hikari, I think this video was better because the best footage was better and this was almost entirely modeling whereas Motoya's Love Fall Vol. 2 had some wasted time and she didn't model in enough different outfits. In comparison to Hikari's Sunshine & Starlight, I think Hikari looked better in this video and this had the hotter footage, but Sunshine & Starlight was far better made and kept a much better pace. Overall, I'd definitely have to rate Sunshine & Starlight ahead of this.
"They kept replaying the same footage with that retarded ‘behind the scenes' crap interjected to make it look different. A lot of the footage was bizarre or pointless. For instance, the short scene by that stone wall where she is suppossed to be sick or something. Most of the time she looked very hot though. She looked REALLY KILLER in the white underwear in the bedroom, and I actually liked those scenes better than the shower scenes. The Kanako tape was better because the lighting was better and even though she was nervous at least she did more than Hikari. I think it's like the WWF PPV argument. Would you rather pay for one 'great' match and a shitty undercard or pay for a very good undercard and maybe a shitty main event (which is usually the case with WCW)? The Hikari tape is like a WWF PPV to me (except that I'd watch this tape 100 times in a row before I'd watch another WWF show, especially if the K-DX thing comes to fruition) in that it's a few great minutes (not that the WWF can say that) and mostly filler while the Kanako tape is more balanced like a WCW show. That's not to say that I regret getting the Hikari tape like I do when I order a WWF PPV because the bedroom and shower scenes are worth more than the $18.00 I spent for the tape, but it was hurt by the severe lack of originality. I've only seen Sunshine and Starlight once (I really have to set aside 30 minutes to rewatch it), but from what I remember it seriously smoked this tape," wrote Michael.
