Annyeong Yumika
Himself
Don't get it twisted: Yumika Hayashi is way more than just a porn star. She's a Rorschach test, film theory with curves, her screen image throwing off endless refractions within the hearts of those who knew her, loved her, or just got off to her. The "iron woman" of Japanese erotic film, best known for critically-acclaimed pink eiga LUNCHBOX, Hayashi died in 2005 at age 35, but in ANNYONG YUMIKA, the new documentary by Tetsuaki Matsue (LIVE TAPE), Yumika's legend is reborn, her passion made immortal.

Mito torture
Director
The summer of fireworks has arrived. The fireworks display in the sky is wonderful, but the fireworks display on the female body is also quite stylish. Katsuyuki Hirano the director of "Snakehead" AV that speedily depicts the violence that unfolds in a special wagon car. Starring Miho Komatsu, Noboru Iguchi and others.
ザ・潜入 コンビニギャル編
Director
Produced at the same time as Mito Torture: Oedo Dragging. This is a drama, a violent drama depicting a love triangle over a cute woman at a convenience store. At the time, small, high-performance video cameras called Handycams were beginning to appear on the market, and I came up with a drama that used this voyeuristic, criminal perspective. The convenience store was borrowed from the real thing. We aimed for realism.
Bicycle Sighs
High School Man
Shiro and Keita didn’t manage to enter university and are stuck in their hometown delivering newspapers. Shiro persists on finishing a film they started, but Keita is not very enthusiastic.
Galaxy Bicycle Night
Director
Katsuyuki Hirano's 8mm movie "Galaxy Bicycle Night". Unlike a feature film, it is a movie that uses one camera and one battery light, and I wander around the city or park at midnight. There is nothing like a drama, it is composed of the first part and the second part, and it is a simple movie that ends with the existence of an ex-girlfriend, I was dating back then. Katsuyuki Hirano released this film when he was 23 years old.
ENDLESS LOVE
The film is divided into two chapters, "First Love" and "Endless Love", in which the author, Yoko Oguchi, chases after a different man, each saying "I love you! and chases after another man. In the second chapter, she screams in public, has sex with a man, shaves her hair and gets (really) yelled at by her parents. Beyond the fictionality and perfection of the drama, the author's daring and daredevil performance have a strong impact on the viewer.
雷魚
Director
A man (Masahiro Sugiyama), an idol otaku, picks up a monster fish and starts to raise it at home. At the same time, he moves in with a runaway girl (Yoko Oguchi), and the friction between them becomes more intense. The film was made at the end of the eighties, in response to the sense of stagnation in the provincial cities. It's a film with a darker side than my previous film "Love on the Street". It also has the strongest theatrical colour of all the films so far, but it shows the bankruptcy in a different way to "Street Corner of Love -".
Water Crown
A seemingly ordinary preparatory school student Kishida who seemed to have raped her with a girl who seems to be prostituting while seemingly sending an ordinary high school girl high life is tied up with some kind of strange relationship.
Happiness Avenue
Writer
When Otomo Katsuhiro saw his manga Good Weather credited as the “original novel” he burst out laughing. There’s not an iota of his book anywhere in the film. Made in the same year as Sono Sion’s A Man’s Flower Road, Hirano Katsuyuki’s Happiness Avenue (where Sono plays a role) is madder and more abandoned, in both filmmaking and content. Lovelorn Masahiro goes on an odyssey to find fulfilment of his heart’s desire, and the sea he traverses are Tokyo’s open sewages.

SUNAYAMA-GINZA
Producer
The camera enters the "Sunayama Ginza" shopping district in Hamamatsu. The people in the area, the signboards for the "eradication of night butterflies," etc., are recorded in an unhurried manner. Suddenly, however, with the voice of the artist saying, "No more deception," the camera stands in the middle of a rainy intersection. As if to say, "This is my expression," we can feel the artist's fresh breath.
