Storyline

Muranishi (Takayuki Yamada), who stood at the apex of the adult film industry at the beginning of the Heisei period, has produced numerous planned series, but these fell far short of the legendary BDSM-esque works he made together with Kuroki (Misato Morita). Kuroki longs to work with Muranishi again but cannot, and slowly the two grow apart.
Then, Muranishi is encouraged to get into satellite broadcasting. Dreaming of “raining porn from the sky,” he begins to raise funds. Close companion Kawada (Tetsuji Tamayama) is concerned about Muranishi, but Muranishi does not listen and instead leaves, founds a new company, Diamond Visual, and begins promoting new actresses such as Mariko Nogi (Yuri Tsunematsu).
At the same time, his old friend Toshi (Shinnosuke Mitsushima), who joined a yakuza group led by Furuya (Jun Kunimura), has mixed feelings toward Muranishi.
 

Making of the film

Most of the filming took place in Tokyo, for example at Shibuya’s Organ-zaka Slope, Shinjuku’s Kabukicho and along Sumida River, and pains were taken to recreate realistic period backdrops, including the details of the extras. 
COVID-19 delayed shooting by over two months, eliminating any leeway, but we wrapped up the Tokyo locations within a year, from preparation to the end of shooting. Global streaming platform Netflix incorporated the greatly impacted entertainment industry’s best practices to prevent the spread of infection, which thoroughly hedged risk at studios and on-set situation.
We hope you enjoy this much-discussed work telling the story of that period’s darling and depicting the Tokyo streets he walked!
