SOLVED! - Nobi Tamura. Credit and huge thanks to thunderchild. :thumbsup:

I've always thought that she was the same girl who appeared in Centerfold Screentest 3.

That same kind of goofy smile.

Immy,

Hey there...fantastic thread! You have been at this for quite some time, so you've got some serious documentation on several forums, as I saw within the last hour or so.

Just saw this tonight for the first time. Just wanted to see if I could help with this. I've been a long-time, extensive and pretty intense tracker of ID'ing porn models/softcore models over the years, I have had a knack of recognizing faces and cross-referencing them, even from only a single memory from one episode or picture set.

I saw on another forum that this girl has been marked as "Girl X" in all the episodes where she appears. I also see that these are all referring to the U.S. versions of the E.B. episodes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the pictures above are you saying that all of those pictures are of the SAME woman, who appeared in 14 different E.B. episodes in the order you posted the pictures?

I looked VERY carefully at these pictures for over an hour. I then also looked VERY CAREFULLY at the "Mystery Box" posting of the girl from Newlook Magazine #35, I believe it was.

IF the general consensus among all of the forums who have been investigating this over the years is that this is all the same woman, I do not believe that is correct.

In looking at the thumbnails from the episodes, I am seeing at least THREE different faces of at least THREE different women. In addition, from looking very carefully, I do not believe the "Mystery Box" girl is the same girl. Her face does not match features with any of the thumbnails from the E.B. episodes.

If I may toss this out there...I think what you have in some of the E.B. episodes are thumbnails of girls who actually have already been identified, but because of makeup and hair, etc. they appear to be a mystery girl, when really they are part of the main cast and are already compiled and ID'd.

But as I said, in looking very carefully at your thumbnails for going on an hour, I am nearly certain the thumbnail of the girl in E.B. #30 is a different girl from the thumbnail in E.B. #34. In addition, it appears to me that the thumbnail of the girl in E.B. #44 is most certainly a third girl. And now that I'm looking closer, you may even have a FOURTH girl in these thumbnails. I'm looking very carefully at the girl in E.B. #52, the very last thumbnail. This to me is almost certainly a fourth girl.

I hope this helps, I realize that you have been tracking and documenting this for a very long time and have extensive knowledge of the episodes.

But I've been involved in this kind of porn mystery before on other forums, and I've broken some really tough ones wide open and was able to help solve them.

So, I do believe based on what I saw and what I cross-referenced tonight, that your mystery girl is actually at least FOUR different girls, and I believe some of the thumbnails you have posted are showing actresses that are already identified in the cast listings that you have compiled.

Two of the faces in your thumbnails look VERY familiar to me, I am going to do some digging into 80s Playboy Channel tomorrow, and also some digging into 80s B movies, I think I can pin a couple of these faces down.

Well thanks indeed for your perspective and input Baranovich. :) :thumbsup: More eyes on the project can only help.

Now then...Girl X.

I am without a doubt, completely convinced that all 14 pics are the same girl. Yep, I'm stubborn. :D I admit my caps aren't the greatest but please don't go soley by them. If I were to compile some vid samples you'd see she has the same voice, boob size and leggy stature in every appearance. I'd bet a year's salary on it. It's gotten to where she's as recognizable as my own sister. Hey...wait a minute...no. Okay, nevermind, not her. :D But I tell you what Baranovich, if you can come up with a name for any of the four women you think it is, I'm all ears. Ditto on the mag girl, who I also think is undoubtably her. What can I say, the gal is imprinted on my brain. :rolleyes: Bring on the suggestions! Oh, and the "Girl X" moniker was one I began using on another forum probably around 10 years ago, so unless I have an evil twin who's similarly obsessed, it was more than likely my posts you were reading.

Another thing - the IMDB casts lists for these US episodes were also added by me around 2000-01 when I had probably half the info I have now. I'd love to go back in there and clear up some of my glaring errors but changing listings has gotten pretty darn near impossible in the last few years. That, and I'd periodically get complaint emails from people who were citing the UK versions and telling me mine were wrong. Seemed futile to continue after all that. VEF turned out to be the perfect place to showcase.

I look forward to any and all discussions! Let's get some chatter in here!

Immy,

Oh heck no, please don't worry, I wasn't put off by your reply whatsoever! Believe me, I've been in the exact same position with ID'ing a girl I was obsessed with in the past. And as you said, the thing about thumbnails is that they can be challenging to interpret in both directions. I have had pictures of girls that I SWORE were two different women, and they turned out to indeed be the same exact woman. Happened with a few porn stars where they looked so different with makeup than without, I was shocked they were the same girl.

The reason I wanted to get involved and try to help is that Electric Blue for me holds some very, very powerful memories. I first watched them when I was about 12,13 years old, when I had to sneak watching the Playboy Channel over my uncle's apartment. I would have to wait until late into the night, and wait for an episode to come on. For my age, Electric Blue was magical. As tame and softcore as the scenes might be to us now, at the time when I was 12 it was literally the most intense, exciting, and hardcore erotica I thought I would ever see. It just blew me away.

So now you have sparked me, I want to to know who this girl is as well!

By the way....I was truly staggered when I went on the other forum and saw you much work you put into ID'ing all the episode casts over the years. I was seriously impressed, and you got me completely and totally interested in E.B. again, like a dormant feeling lying in me that just suddenly was woken up again! I was truly staggered by your efforts. MOST IMPRESSIVE!!!

Only someone like you and myself and the fine people on VEF would understand why someone would ever even bother to put that much work into something they would consider so "trivial and useless" to them.

It isn't trivial to me. I have been in this situation before with ID'ing. HEY, this is our thing and it's what we love. That's not a bad thing!:):thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

The Two I'm eyeing most closely...
 

These are the two thumbnails below that look the most strikingly like different women to me. The rest of the thumbnails from the original post look more consistent to being the same girl, with shape of nose, eyes, face, etc. But these two I have the most questions about. This is the cluster of five thumbnails that I'm going to do some digging on, because I'm going to work for a bit on the assumption and hunch that I'm possibly looking at three different women in these five thumbnails. If it doesn't lead anywhere, I'll come back to the start and I'll reset.

http://ist2-2.filesor.com/pimpandhos...32791745_0.jpg http://ist2-2.filesor.com/pimpandhos...32791751_0.jpgParticularly this thumbnail, if you compare it to the three thumbnails below, it really looks like two different women facially, this was the one that popped out to me first when I saw all the thumbnails together.


...In contrast to these three thumbnails below, who DO look to me consistently to be the same girl, most certainly the same nose and eyes:

Just wanted to show it visually and in a cluster like that so the differences can be considered in this context. But as you were saying Immy, thumbnails can work both ways as far as being deceiving...it is still quite possible that you are 100% correct and that these are all the same girl.
