The Japanese are at the same stage of adult films as America was about 30 years ago with hardcore. Still illegal, the video equivalent of loops are being shot there, with shaky handheld cameras capturing unattractive women and faceless men with flaccid winkies.

These tapes are titled Japanese Erotica Volumes 29 and 30, and although they are simply not erotic, those people interested in what's happening in the overseas underground my want to take a look.

Meanwhile, Can't Wait Until Night details a fantasy rape, a salami masturbation scene and some real life sex. Love Me Again shows what happens when a woman's lover sexually attacks her and ties her up with a lot of rope.

Even though there are English subtitles, the stories here really don't exist. What does exist, however, is awful video quality, washed-out colors (Cant' Wait Until Night is mostly green) and "sex" that isn't really sex.

These two tapes are bad, yet Orchids has had some good quality videos in the past, particularly Ken Chan, Laundry Man, an illegal Oriental tape with superior video quality. Skip these two entries and take a look at that one.
