Miyumi Jul 19 2022 11:40 pm I watch it a long time ago but forgot what happened, but there's a scene for r15 or r18 i think.

Dean Jan 31 2022 8:35 pm Ririko's hair in this is sexier than I could even dream. They made a woman that is more pretty than my imagination could work out. This DVD comes out often at my house.

Don Jun 17 2021 8:25 pm Ririko is the peak of beauty. That waist, those legs, the hair they truly made the perfect woman
