ITALY STUDY ABROAD BUDGET
There you are, Megumi. What are you doing here?
Everyone's waiting.
Mm-hm.
Just doing some research.
You're coming for tea, right?
Yeah.
What are you researching?
Italy?
Yeah. I'd like to go there.
Mm.
-Hey, Satoko. -Hm?
Can I stay at your house tonight?
MIZUNOYA
Hello.
Work.
Work!
I'm grateful that all of you adult video producers and sellers
have gathered here today.
While I'm glad to see new people joining the industry,
many of them are producing and selling
illegal, and uncensored material.
That's why we have gathered here today
to establish the Japan Video Regulation Commission.
UNCENCORED SPECIAL EDITION
Effective immediately, this commission will establish
standards for censoring.
But less censored videos sell better.
- That's right. - Right?
Censoring is what allows the actors
to avoid having real sex.
You think so?
Listen.
Whatever happens, we must protect our actresses.
Hey.
Everything that you have said sounded really nice,
but this is all about making money, no?
You'll benefit from it, too.
Why, do you have any complaints?
True.
I've always hated people who stand in the way of my business.
It's Ikezawa's doing.
I'd like to help you.
But he has the cops on his side.
We'll get caught up in this mess.
Muranishi and Kawada are doing everything they can.
I want to help them.
Look, Toshi.
I know how you feel, but...
Up there in the upper ground,
it's the people with capital who control things.
But who do you think wins in the end?
I don't know.
Those who control things both in the upper and underground.
Do you know why I called you here?
Excuse me.
I have to go.
I guess it was too soon.
This video is less censored than our rules require.
You need to recall all the tapes and redo the censoring.
That simply isn't feasible.
If you don't comply with our rules,
you won't be able to join the commission.
That's perfect, then.
We never wanted to join in the first place.
We'll prevent the distribution of all your videos.
Suit yourself.
Excuse me.
Why did we even come here?
I know.
But most of the industry has joined the commission.
It's likely their position will become the standard.
That's ridiculous.
We have no actress and no way to distribute our videos.
How are our funds?
It's running low.
Where were you? I was worried.
I stayed at a friend's house.
Wait a minute. Explain yourself.
Tell me why you didn't call.
Mom, I'm relieved now.
All this time, I thought I was weird, but I've realized I'm just like you.
What are you talking about?
Don't walk away!
Megumi.
I've always found it odd.
How are we living so well
even without the presence of a breadwinner?
I could never ask you that.
Is he still alive?
Um...
Megumi, the thing is...
Tell me.
He's alive.
I WON'T FORGET A SINGLE SECOND OF OUR PRECIOUS TIME
Your father...
already had his own family.
-I was planning to-- -It's fine.
I will live as I please. Just like you.
TORU MURANISHI
Do you know this place?
-This place? -Yes.
It's just over there. You'll see it.
-Don't worry. -Thank you.
See you later.
- Thanks. - Anytime.
Can I help you with something?
I'm looking for Toru Muranishi.
So, even if we find an actress,
we can't sell without this commission's approval?
Pretty much.
Isn't that really bad?
How will we make a living?
We're in deep shit.
Oh, my.
Here you are.
Junko, what took you so long?
We're dying of thirst here!
Hey, who's that princess?
I have no idea.
But she said she wants to meet the director.
Mm.
Do you know her?
No.
Ah, are you looking to work here?
Yes, I'd like to know more.
Forget about it.
This isn't a place for a nice young lady like you.
This is a place for girls like her.
-What did you say? -You heard me!
You want to work in making videos?
Yes.
Hmm, in lighting? Sound?
She's a girl. Maybe makeup?
-Makeup? -I'd like to perform...
I'd like to perform in an adult video.
What?
Oh.
Why not?
She could be our savior, right?
Maybe...
she could be it.
Well, come and eat with us first.
Here's some food. Let's eat.
Then we'll interview you and decide what to do.
Have a seat.
I'll go wash my hands--
Don't bother. Eat before it gets cold.
-Mine! -Hey!
-That's not fair, Junko. -Eat now or everyone will.
I haven't eaten yet.
How about yakitori?
Aren't we silly? Eat a lot, okay?
- Where's the sauce? Don't be so rude. - Oh, that's right.
Eat yakitori, too.
Put away this bag.
What's your name?
Megumi Sahara.
Where were you born, Megumi?
Yokohama.
What about your family? Do you have any siblings?
I'm an only child, I think...
I have a mother...
and a father that I recently found out about.
Why do you want to star in a video?
To earn money, so I can study in Italy.
And also...
because I want to be true to myself.
Be true to yourself?
Free.
Uninhibited.
And perhaps even dirty.
Dirty?
Yes.
I want to finally be true to myself.
What should I do?
What...
would you like a man to do to you?
First, make me feel safe.
Hug me.
Come here.
I can feel your strong heartbeat.
Tighter, please.
Like this?
Yes.
I feel so comfortable now.
This is what I've always wanted.
I want it now.
Touch me.
Like this?
More.
That feels so good!
We're going to start filming you.
Is that okay with you?
- Roll camera. - Rolling.
Tell me something.
What's your favorite color?
Color?
-Black. -Black, as in, kuro?
Okay, from today, your name is...
Kuroki.
Kaoru Kuroki.
Okay.
I want you to show everything.
My videos involve real sex.
What else is there?
What's wrong?
I want to show you something.
This is the real me.
Mm...
Well...
that's all right.
You can just shave them.
I don't want to.
No.
There's no need to shave them.
What?
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
From now on, I'm Kaoru Kuroki.
Stop the camera.
- What? - What?
You don't want to film?
I changed my mind.
It's Kaoru Kuroki's debut film.
Let's first prepare to do the best work we've ever done.
- Got it. - Got it.
- Can we use the studio from now? - Sure, we'll get it ready.
Take a seat.
- Take this, Kawada. - Okay.
She has a strange allure to her.
Yes, she does.
Baby-faced but very bold.
But...
unless we follow the commission's rules,
we can't sell the video.
That's right. We have to follow the censoring rules.
Actually, I think we can play by their stupid rules.
Do you have a plan?
We'll beat their rules with ideas.
But how?
Let's aim for the ears, not the eyes.
- Toshi. - Yes?
Go buy a whistle.
What? A whistle?
- Yes. - A whistle?
-Me? -Please.
Wait, but what kind?
-You choose. Just get one quickly. -What?
All right.
A whistle?
Wonderful!
Perfect!
Kuroki.
Yes.
This'll be great.
I'm looking forward to it.
Let me give you a little advice before we start rolling.
Okay.
Remember your hands and eyes.
-My hands and eyes? -Yes.
A woman's beauty and emotions are mostly expressed with her hands.
Make sure they're always alive.
Okay.
And your eyes.
Whatever happens, keep them open.
Without a script, your eyes will tell the story.
My eyes will?
Yes.
Apart from that, you're free to be yourself.
Do as you feel.
Okay.
Just like you were before.
Okay.
- Hey. - Yes?
You got a whistle?
- A whistle? - Yeah. A whistle.
-A whistle. -Yes, a whistle.
-A whistle? -That's right.
-A whistle. -Yes, a whistle.
A whistle.
-A whistle. -A whistle.
-A whistle...
We don't have any.
After all that trouble, they don't have it.
Where can I get one?
Oh, do they have whistles?
Let's see. A whistle.
-What? -What a surprise!
Hey, you got a whistle?
That isn't a whistle!
I've got one!
Don't shout, man.
Do you really have one?
Hurry up!
A whistle!
What is that?
I've kept you waiting. Perhaps too long.
Now, shall we begin?
Yes, please.
Get up.
Mr. Muranishi.
You're going to be the actor?
Is there a problem?
No, but...
The director? Acting?
Don't worry.
I'm a very skilled speaker.
Actually, I once became a top salesman of English encyclopedias.
Hey, man, I'm really sorry.
This is all I could find.
It looks strange.
Shut up. It was so hard to find!
-Toshi. -Yeah?
This is perfect.
- It's perfect? - Really?
Here you go.
Awesome!
Okay, let's roll the camera.
Ready?
Action!
Let's make good use of this prop.
Try putting it in your mouth.
That is incredibly sexy.
Give it a blow.
What a nice sound.
Once more.
So sexy!
When you start to feel good,
I'd like you to give it one blow.
In the throes of passion, blow it twice.
When you reach the peak, blow it three times.
Fantastic!
Viewers will know how good you feel based on how many times you blow it.
Got it?
Yes.
Well, then.
What kind of sex would you like?
I want it rough.
Rough, I see.
Here and here.
- As you requested, - Go around to the other side.
I shall give it to you rough.
Like this?
Yes...
I'll treat your perky little breasts roughly as well!
How is that?
Like that.
- Feel so good. - Let's remove these clothes.
You were born without reason!
You're a beast!
That's it, give me more. Let yourself go!
That's great!
Like this?
-Would you like it harder? Rougher? -Harder.
Harder!
You really do like it rough!
I love it!
Aren't you afraid you'll break?
More! Give me more!
Ah.
Like this?
Yes!
Harder! Rougher!
The whistle... I dropped the whistle.
Let me do as I please!
It slipped out...
So good! So good!
Ah.
Choke me.
Please choke me.
Choke me.
Harder!
Choke me harder!
It's like sadomasochism.
I won't last...
Not yet.
Ah.
It feels so good!
I'm going to come!
I'm coming!
I'm coming! I'm coming!
I'm coming!
Good job today.
- Hey. - Yes?
That was great.
Editing's going to be tough.
-There's no need. -There's no need.
- We'll use all of it. - She's incredible.
That was amazing.
I was kind of moved.
- I'm glad it worked out. - Yeah.
-Hey, man, look! -Mr. Muranishi.
Seriously?
Still?
Hmm.
How many fingers are inside?
Four.
Don't. You'll hurt yourself.
Three at the most.
Only three?
She's voracious.
SAPPHIRE PICTURES
Wow.
What in the world have we come up with?
It's my first time seeing a film with such an assertive actress.
True.
He's not fucking her. She's fucking him.
I've never seen anything like it.
Isn't it too hardcore to sell?
Hey, man. It's over-censored.
No, the whistle and your imagination make up for it.
And it's well within the commission's rules.
It's all thanks to her.
Yes, that's for sure.
Mr. Muranishi.
We can win with this.
You're home late.
Mother, I want to go to Italy after all.
You seem to think you can do whatever you want now.
I can't afford to send you.
Not a problem. I've earned the money myself.
My first job ever.
You were paid this much? How?
I performed in an adult video.
How could you do something so stupid?
I don't want to depend on some man I've never met.
I want to support myself.
I'm sorry.
My daughter was tricked! Brainwashed!
Please calm down. What happened?
I'm going to file a lawsuit. I can't forgive them for what they did.
Please calm down.
We will investigate and take appropriate measures.
Do sit down.
I don't want your empty words. Just stop them from selling it!
-I understand. -I have to protect her.
Please calm down. Take a seat, and we'll talk.
-Are you listening? -I understand.
I'm telling you to stop them from...
VIDEO RENTAL SHOP MÄRCHEN
Hey, mister.
Hey.
Looks like business is good.
You even got yourself a fancy suit, didn't you?
What?
It's a sign of the times.
My store is expanding without me lifting a finger.
-Let's have a smoke. -Sure.
All right.
-Wow! -Huh?
Those cigarettes are fancy.
Give it a rest!
Let me have one.
When's your next video coming?
Are you still fighting with the commission?
-Yeah. -Mm.
You know I'm a Sapphire fan.
Here we are.
Hey!
Hey, there.
Get the commission's approval, and I'll take all the tapes you want.
Oh!
I'll hold on to that.
What?
You've got a new video?
Give us a bottle of beer and two glasses.
Okay.
Look here... Mr. Kawada, right?
Yes. Take a seat.
As you can see, her mother is suing.
We suspect there was wrongdoing during filming.
As far as we're concerned, we did nothing inappropriate.
You interviewed and filmed her on the same day.
What's appropriate about that?
And the director himself performed with her.
Right?
Unforgivable.
I didn't raise my daughter
to have her do obscene things with a stranger
and have it seen by others!
Just the thought of it breaks my heart.
Do you understand how I feel?
Please, ma'am.
We at the commission will investigate this complaint
and suspend sales of the video until we reach a conclusion.
That's absurd!
We aren't even members of the commission!
All right.
-Wait! What will we-- -We won't sell the video.
Sincerest apologies, ma'am.
Where's my say in this?
It's your turn to set your daughter free.
What are you saying?
I'm not doing this to please you, okay?
Mr. Kawada!
Things are going to get a lot tougher for you all in the future.
Excuse me.
What's up?
Oh...
Toshi, over here.
Thank you. Thanks for the help.
What are we going to do?
Stores around the country are returning their tapes.
The commission's playing hardball.
They've got it in for us.
From now on,
we'll have zero revenue.
Huh?
They're completely freezing us out!
They want to strangle the life out of us.
Looks like we're finished.
What will we do?
I need to think.
Huh?
Welcome.
What will you have?
The same as her.
Get him a house blend.
Okay.
I'm very sorry about my mother.
It isn't your fault.
But you're all suffering.
How should I put it?
You were incredible.
I was completely overwhelmed.
Mm...
It's hard to find the words...
It was like no other experience I've had with women.
It felt entirely new.
You opened the door for me
to let out my true self.
It was probably the greatest joy I've had in this job.
I'm truly glad I met you.
What will you do now?
I don't know yet.
Can I help with anything?
I'd like to see you continue creating great work.
Those words are plenty.
Well...
Goodbye.
What are you doing here so late?
As you can see, I'm writing a script.
Mr. Muranishi.
I think it's time we face the reality.
Mr. Kawada, I have a fantastic idea.
Action plus eroticism.
-Something that's never been seen before. -Mr. Muranishi.
And we'll film it over there.
Aren't you tired of just looking at that billboard?
We'll shoot in Hawaii!
We'll hire this actress.
You've seen her. She was a famous porn star.
We'll fly up in a plane and have sex in midair!
We'll go global in Hawaii!
Give me a break.
Hawaii?
A plane?
Have you gone crazy?
Stop these delusions of grandeur.
I'm a director.
I'll film what I like.
It's impossible.
We have no money!
What else can we do?
Those assholes have stopped us from selling Kuroki's masterpiece!
Our only option is to make another!
I want to save the company too, so I'm begging you!
Listen...
I've never said no to you.
But I'm saying it now.
If you go on like this,
Sapphire Pictures will cease to exist.
Not as long as we make good pictures!
Open your eyes!
No!
Let him do what he wants.
Hawaii and whatever else.
Give him free rein.
You're the general around here.
Just support him like a good chief of staff.
All right.
But if this flops,
this company's finished.
Look.
How blue is that sky?
TRIP TO HAWAII
It's perfect.
The plane soars in over Hawaii like this.
- Whoa! - Huh?
Picture it.
On the plane is this actress!
Can we really do it?
Are you stupid, Junko? Remember our last shoot.
Right now, we're capable of anything!
That's right!
We can do it. I know we can.
Yes, that's the spirit!
- Yes. - Yes.
We'll go to Hawaii and make what we want to make!
Something nobody has ever seen before.
It'll be a worldwide hit!
- Just you wait. - Just you wait.
Okay.
