Tracking the little missy down
.
Dear Kimbaa,
I don't know the answer. By this stage, the odds are no one else will, either. But I do have a suggestion as to how you may track your actress down, although it will entail work. But you're a white lion, so you can do it. (Hold on, just noticed the "baa" part of your moniker. Okay, maybe you're a white sheep. But sheep can be just as hard-working as lions, or at least so says the United Lambs Association.)
I hope you're able to access the coy DMM site, and if not, there is a thread around here (I believe it was put up by the very helpful
Codegeek) instructing how. DMM's page for CRPD-288:
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/detail/=/cid=crpd288/
Here is their cast list for the film:
Nana Oshikiri
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/list/=/article=actress/id=26665/
Rui Hazuki
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/list/=/article=actress/id=28314/
Wakatsuki Yuna

Anri love the river

Rika Wakatsuki

Hinata Mahiru

Sayaka Honami

Azusa Nagai
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/list/=/article=actress/id=28456/
Karen Ichinose
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/list/=/article=actress/id=14483/
Nakasako Yuka
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/list/=/article=actress/id=20833/
Of course, a few of the translated names from the list above are wrong, such as (obviously) "Anri love the river," and I wouldn't be surprised if a good several did not reverse the first and last names.
But the probability of your actress being among the ten listed is very strong, so you would need to research what each of the others look like from their other works. You'd probably be able to make the match.
To help facilitate this time-consuming job, you may want to also use a friendlier site I prefer using for research purposes,
asianscreens.com. For example, their page for Karen Ichinose is here:
http://www.asianscreens.com/karen_ichinose2.asp?zoom_highlightsub=Karen+Ichinose
See, they have a handy portrait of the performer; that could help. The actresses' bodies of work are also available in an easier-to-dissect manner (although this site is not as comprehensive as the DMM one; for example, we can see CRPD-288 is missing from Karen's page.)
(And the reason why CRPD-288 was missing could have a lot to do with the fact that - as I just discovered - this site apparently does not even list CRPD-288!)
Unfortunately, not all actresses' page are going to come up as easily; I just threw in "Nakasako Yuka" - and also "Nakasako Yuka," in case the first and last names were reversed - and she's either not listed, or one would need to wade through the many page results that came up. It helps sometimes to check out the product I.D. number of a film an actress has appeared in (from the DMM site; you can also try
www.8jav.com), and if the
asianscreens site comes up with a result, you will have found the actress' page.
As for the rest of you who patiently followed these instructions all the way to this point, let me offer you a link for the film that Kimbaa was inquiring about... in case you would be curious to check it out:
here it is.
