Bed-In

Crew: Director

Synopsis: This bit of pinku eiga fluff from the Nikkatsu studio and director Masaru Konuma is something of an incongruous throwback to the sort of films the studio made in the early '70s, supposedly exposing the swinging sex lives of women who work in office buildings. Miki Yanagi is the ingénue this Read More

1986
Female Prisoner: Caged!

Crew: Director

1983
Asobareru Onna

Crew: Director

Synopsis: The last of a four-film series which began with Naku Onna, and the second to be helmed by Nikkatsu's top director of the time, Masaru Konuma, is probably the best of the four. All were made to spotlight the studio's new reigning queen of softcore, Maiko Kazama, and this well-made pinku eiga Read More

1981
Misetagaru Onna

Crew: Director

Synopsis: The Nikkatsu studio knew by this time, the third film in the series which began with Naku Onna, that they had a new queen of their softcore pinku eiga films to fill the void left by Naomi Tani's 1979 retirement. So, to further showcase their new star Maiko Kazama, the studio assigned their Read More

1981
Izumi Daihachi No Joshidaisei No Kinyobi

Crew: Director

Synopsis: This pinku eiga film from Nikkatsu and director Masaru Konuma (Ikenie Fujin) is little more than a streamlined anecdote from Daihachi Izumi's popular novel, jettisoning the ending and almost all of the characters except college girl Megumi (Minako Mizushima). Megumi moves away from her Read More

1979
Kinyo-bi No Shinshitsu

Crew: Director

Synopsis: This amusing pinku eiga film from the Nikkatsu studio and in-house filmmaker Masaru Konuma (Ikenie Fujin) is much lighter than the director's usual fare. Hiroshi Unayama stars as a cheating husband who receives blackmail threats concerning his weekly trysts with a pretty secretary played by Read More

1978
Yumeno Kyusaku No Shoujo Jigoju

Crew: Director

Synopsis: One of pinku eiga starlet Asami Ogawa's best films, this softcore melodrama from the Nikkatsu studio and the always-interesting Masaru Konuma bears some resemblance to Heavenly Creatures in its exploration of a fantasy world created by two troubled girls. Utae (Ogawa) and Aiko (Yuko Asuka) Read More

1977
Shudojo Runa No Kokuhaku

Crew: Director

Actors: Runa Takamura, Kumita Guch

Synopsis: Cult pinku eiga director Masaru Konuma (Ikenie Fujin) turned his disapproving gaze on Christianity with this mean-spirited S & M film for Nikkatsu, which was drifting toward ever rougher fare at the time. Pop singer Runa Takamura of the group Golden Halves stars as Runa, a sad girl who Read More

1976
Hirusagari No Joji: Koto-mandara

Crew: Director

Actors: Yuri Yamashina

Synopsis: Prolific exploitation director Masaru Konuma made this first of Nikkatsu Studios' sadism-themed softcore roughies. Morio Kazama stars in this story of an upwardly-mobile banker whose boss introduces him to the adopted daughter of a wealthy client. He falls in love with the girl and wants to marry Read More

1973
Ame No Headlights

Crew: Director

Synopsis: This undistinguished softcore item from Japan's Nikkatsu stable is primarily worthwhile for fans of cult filmmaker Masaru Konuma, whose Ikenie Fujin may be the star of the studio's generally interminable and offensive Best SM series. Admirers of that film will probably be disappointed with Read More

1972
Kashin No Sasoi

Crew: Director

Synopsis: This is the sort of film which contributes to many westerners' negative impressions of Japanese society in general and the pinku eiga genre in particular. It is also the jarring debut of Masaru Konuma (Ikenie Fujin), one of the Nikkatsu studio's most unconventional filmmakers. The Read More
