[Review] Iori Moe -伊織もえ- 's C89 ROM and Photobooks Set

It's time to check out one of the Cosplay ROM/Photo book sets that I got last Comiket 89! 

I will be reviewing Moe Iori's C89 set today.  Moe Iori (伊織もえ), aka, Iorin (いおりん) is a Japanese cosplayer well known for her Yuna (Final Fantasy X) and 'sexy' cosplays, particularly her Kasumi (Dead or Alive/DOA) cosplay. She made her cosplay circle debut at Comiket last December and she released two photo books and a Cosplay CD-ROM under her circle 「 りんりんいおりん」 .

So let's take a look at her works!

First up, we'll take a look at her Final Fantasy X Photo book, ユウナのおもいで.
The photo book is softcover type but I'm not quite sure about its size orientation...www
It has a beautiful cover of Yuna standing in the water which is actually very nostalgic.
The glossy paper used for the cover and pages is pretty nice to touch, too.

What I like about this photo book is that the photos are nicely selected. The photos taken are dreamy, lovely, nostalgic, and well, sexy! Iorin will surely captivate you with her perfect Yuna smile in every turn of the page. This Yuna photo book definitely brought out the best in Iorin. Great costume, props, shooting locations (sea, cave, and seaside garden house~) and Iorin herself as Yuna is just so perfect. If you love Iorin's Yuna cosplay, I highly recommend this photo book to you! (^^)/ 

Iorin also released an original photo book, 冬のいおり, a collection of her casual/plain clothes and other non-cosplay photos. The size and paper used on this one is similar to the Yuna photo book.

I find this photo book really fun to look at. The simplicity of Iorin's beauty and the cute and funny faces that she is making in every photo surely made it enjoyable to browse the book.  

Aside from casual/plain clothing, it also have photos of Iorin wearing a Yukata in the park. She's so adorable! (I wish I have a little sister like her~www) Plus, the shots look so natural~!

Now here is my favorite part, the lingerie photos!!www Three words, "Cute", "Hot" and "Sexy"! What made these photos sexier is Iorin's facial expressions~! Her sexy expressions suit her very well in each lingerie photos. It is decently sexy! 

[PHOTOBOOK WRAP UP] Overall, the photo books are great! But I wish Iorin could have made the photo books with more pages, a thicker and bigger paper size, like A4 size paperback photo books~! I don't mind paying more for a thicker and bigger photo book! (^^) 

Now, let's take a look at Iorin's first ever Cosplay ROM. 

Iorin's C89 ROM is かすみ い～じ～も～ど, a DOA Kasumi Cosplay ROM. By the looks of its DVD Cover, the ROM is obviously a "Sexy/Ero" Cosplay ROM. (Check out: [Hanaji Sensei's POV] Sexy Cosplay and Ero Cosplay ROM: It's Just 'Cosplay' ROM)

With lots of cosplay ROMs released last C89, this one stands out among the rest to me. Even though this ROM kinda reminds me of Lenfried's cosplay ROMs, Iorin's ROM has its unique sexiness of its own. She perfectly pulled it off without being too lewd! The 'ecchiness' is just right~!(*´◒`*)

Nevertheless, the costumes are impressive! Iorin did three Kasumi versions in this ROM:

• Kasumi's Default/Signature Costume (Royal Blue)
• Cherish Ver. (White and Red)
• Black and Gold Ver. (DOA4)

Iorin did great in those 3 costumes~ But my favorite is definitely her Black and Gold Version! Iorin's Kasumi Black and Gold Ver. displays immense sexiness! The open side slit costume reveals Iorin's sexy body line which matches her every sensual pose. And Iorin's sexy underarm~💕It is breathtaking! Nevertheless, I like the coolness of her blue Kasumi and the cuteness of her white and red Kasumi cosplay~ (*´ω｀*)

谷間！！！おぱあい！！！最高！！！＼(^o^)／

Moreover, expect lots of 'OPPAI' in this ROM! Iorin's oppai is the best!!! ＼(^o^)／ Powerful Tanima (谷間) or cleavage shots are also waiting for you!www Over 460 photos are included in the CD. That's not bad for a Cosplay ROM debut! However, the ROM still needs improvement in terms of selecting the photos. My suggestion, more ideas for the poses, do and try more/different poses in each photo as much as possible (both cute and sexy poses) and be more playful, just enjoy the photo shoot! ^^

Ako Fujisawa and Ren Nanase Cosplay ROM by Iori Moe -伊織もえ-

Lastly, we have Iorin's Omake Cosplay ROM! It is based on the popular Adult OAV/Hentai series, Yakin Byoutou (夜勤病棟) or better known as Night Shift Nurses! In this bonus, Iorin cosplays as Ako Fujisawa and Ren Nanase of the said series. Despite being an adult animation, Iorin's Night Shift Nurses cosplay ROM is not extremely sexual but effectively sexy and provocative enough to tickle your imagination. Plus, they shot it in a hospital ward which makes her cosplay more playful and exciting. And more of Iorin's signature tanima/cleavage shots! Ahhh~ So much oppai!

[ROM WRAP UP] Well, Iorin did an awesome job producing her first Cosplay ROM! If I'll give these ROMs a rating, it will be R-15 Sexy ROM. It might still be lacking something (depends on what you are expecting from her) but in the end of the day I've seen a potential in her. I grew up loving Lenfried's cosplay ROM and Iorin's ROM is something that reminds me of it. They both do amazing, alluring, and sexy cosplays. Lenfried might be a little too lewd than Iorin but they both brought my imagination to a whole new level!www Please take that as a compliment. Well, Iorin's COSHOLIC17 ROM also looks very promising! I want to have it, too!!! (≧∇≦)

UPCOMING Cosholic ROM!

Iori Moe -伊織もえ-'s COSHOLIC17 ROM 「伊織四畳半」

I also received a letter from Iorin~ <3 I won't disclose what's inside since this is more of a personal letter to me...www

I was surprised to see the letter inside the CD Case...w

Whatever cosplay genre she belongs in, Iorin is a fine--- no, she's an AMAZING cosplayer! This is just the start of her Cosplay ROM making career and we'll see where she and her Cosplay ROM are going in the future~ So let's follow her and support her works!

[Hanaji Sensei's POV] Sexy Cosplay and Ero Cosplay ROM: It's Just 'Cosplay' ROM

Yo! Hanaji Sensei here!

I've been collecting Cosplay CD-ROMs for 5 years now and most of them are Sexy and Ero Cosplay ROMs. So what's the difference between a Sexy and an Ero Cosplay ROM?

My recent Cosplay ROM and Photo books purchases from last years Comiket

I define Sexy cosplays as cosplays which are, well... 'sexy', hot yet not very revealing, suggestive but not explicit. In a sexy Cosplay ROM, the cosplayer usually displays sexually attractive poses but doesn't expose any private parts. Although it is not limited to stripping clothes or exposing cleavages and panties. It also depends on the type of the characters they are cosplaying. Some characters are simply created with sexy outfits. Good examples of this genre are Itsuki Akira, Enako, Kei Shino, and Hiiragi Mayon.

While Ero cosplays which stands for 'Erotic Cosplay', as the name suggests, can range from being decently sexy to being extremely lewd. Sometimes it may even include sexual acts. Yes, with that said, Sexy cosplay can be considered as Ero cosplay as well but that depends if the cosplayer acknowledge it herself. But what makes an ero cosplay 'erotic' in my opinion is the presence of fetishes being displayed in every ROM and the act of exposing (or at least deliberately trying to expose) their private parts, sometimes nudity. It sounds kinda contradicting with my definition of sexy cosplay but you'll get it...www Well-known examples of ero cosplayers are Lenfried, Ushijima Iiniku, Yutori, Higurashi Rin and Ran, Hiyo Nishizuku, Ai Saotome, Eri Kitami (MEGANE FETISH!!!) and even some Japanese AV Stars like Kana Yume and Abeno Miku. They are usually attending the Cosholic event to sell their ROMs but they also participate in Comiket if they pass the selection.

Then, there are ROMs which are hard to tell which of the two genre it belongs. Unless the cosplayer tell you that it is an Ero Cosplay or Sexy Cosplay ROM. But in general, they never really call it 'Ero Cosplay ROM' or 'Sexy Cosplay ROM'. It is just a 'Cosplay ROM'. The problem is that most people always refer to sexy cosplays as ero cosplays and some cosplayers don't want to call their kind of cosplay ero that is why I have to distinguish the two genre.

Atsuki's ROMs are good examples of ROMs mixed between being Sexy and Ero Cosplay 

It mostly depends on the contents of the ROMs. We also have the ratings for it, R-15 and R-18 Ero cosplay ROM. It's hard to explain what my point really is... But at the end of the day, a Cosplay ROM is just a Cosplay ROM.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that sexy and ero-cosplays are 'bad' cosplays due to their lewd nature. I know that in some countries such cosplay is not acceptable. I feel really sorry about it. Still, I appreciate such genre for its artistic and unique approach in cosplay. To fully appreciate these kind of works, 'RESPECT' towards the cosplayers is important.

In the end, a Cosplay ROM is a Cosplay ROM.

Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this article is simply my own and do not necessarily reflect the cosplay community in Japan and the official genre/category of each cosplayers mentioned in this article. I just made-up these categories to distinguish the level of lewdness/sexiness of the ROM. So, there is no official category such as sexy cosplay but Ero Cosplay is somewhat being recognized as a cosplay category in Japan. That is just how I define the two categories since some cosplayers do not want to associate their 'sexy' cosplays to 'ero' cosplays.
