VIDEO RENTAL SHOP MÄRCHEN

Excuse me. Here.

Thanks.

Are these overdue?

No, they're due today.

Thanks.

Be sure to rewind them next time.

Hello, Wada.

Hello.

Hello.

I've never seen anything like this.

Oh, yes. I agree.

Bet they're going to make sequels.

Right.

So, what brings you here today?

Our video finally hit stores today.

We couldn't sit still and wait.

Right?

He's the manager.

Hi there. How's our product?

It's on the shelf.

- Really? - Take a look.

Oh yes, let me see.

- Where is it? - Where...

Over here?

Not the top shelf. Lower.

Way lower. Lower.

- Lower. - Then over to the right. The far right.

Right...

THE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT OF SHAME

Just one copy?

Yes.

POSEIDON PICTURES, MIKU MINAMI

The night is still young!

Let's turn it up!

Miku, you look killer as always.

- You think so? - Yes!

- You're so cute. - So cute.

Your Tiffany, it's the one in the magazines, right?

- I guess. Maybe. - I want one! It's so cute!

- It's so cute! - So cute!

Excuse me.

Here. This one's on me.

No thanks.

You're really cute.

Miku doesn't have time for servers.

- Right? - Right?

That looks so good on you.

Look at your watch!

Here, Junko.

Okay, thanks.

Anything else?

Can you throw out the garbage?

I'm on it.

When do they start getting it on?

Accentuating the model's beauty in an alluring setting

is Poseidon Productions' style.

The actress is top notch.

The quality of the content is not.

She's cute though.

Cute or not, her face is dead.

She might as well be a sex doll.

Hey, am I cute?

You're very cute.

We talked a big game up in Hokkaido,

but reality is hell.

I disagree.

Bark all you want, but people are buying Ikezawa's stuff.

We're just getting started.

- That's all you say. - Good evening.

Hey.

Oh, hello.

- Evening. - Ah. Hello, sir.

- A highball and stew. - Sure thing.

Taking swigs of cheap booze is the best way to clear the mind.

So, feeling at home in Kabukicho yet?

We're getting there.

You have business talent.

Make me rich, all right?

It's like you've already made it.

We're just getting started.

- Here you are. - Thanks.

That's why I'm counting on you.

What's that?

This?

It's a porn video.

I can only afford a one-day rental.

Pathetic, really.

Don't let Ikezawa fuck you over again.

Again?

What do you mean?

What?

You're kidding.

Fujiwara, these guys are hilariously dense.

You guys got pinched because of Ikezawa.

Ikezawa and Takei are in cahoots.

I'll protect you next time. I'm on your side.

You should watch it.

- I was bawling. - It made me cry.

The last episode...

Hey, weren't you on The Best Ten?

- You're a pop star! - Get away.

- Get lost! - The last episode was...

Oh, yes.

- Bye Miku! - Bye girls.

Good morning, me.

Hello.

Is that you, Miku? You promised you'd call last night.

I'm sorry.

Were you awake?

Of course. Did you forget we're farmers?

You never call anymore.

Are you going to work?

Of course I am.

Actually, I'm saving up right now so I can send you on a trip.

Honey, your thoughtful offer is enough.

Are you okay with money?

PAYMENT REMINDER

I'm fine.

Our company pays pretty well.

You ran off to Tokyo, and you never call.

Your father is worried. He says Tokyo is a dangerous place.

It's not dangerous. I'm fine.

Bye. Talk to you later.

Here you are!

Nice.

Can you put the pickles on a separate plate?

I hate it when flavors mix.

- Does that bug you? - It does!

Just a little won't change the taste.

You're a barbarian.

I want clear boundaries, okay?

Mitamura, what do you think?

I don't care. I don't eat much anyway.

See! It's just you, Junko.

I hate working with a team full of men!

Why don't you cook for us if you hate it so much?

You're a girl, but you never cook.

What? That's sexist!

Stop fighting, we're eating...

That's enough.

Shut up and eat.

What a food pairing.

It all goes to the same place.

Good job, Rugby.

Thank you, sir.

The cook makes or breaks the ingredients.

Eat up before the battle.

POSEIDON PRODUCTIONS 3RD YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY

That will be it for the pre-photo op.

Could the press also step back a bit?

Now, a word from the King of Porn,

President Ikezawa from Poseidon Productions.

Good evening, everyone. As we enter our fourth year,

we and our actresses will aim to work even harder.

- Yes! - Yes!

It is precisely because we work on adult videos

that I firmly believe order is necessary.

- That's right! - Yes!

For the industry's continued prosperity...

Order for whom?

Well done, King of Porn. Great food. Lots of meat.

Attendants, please remove this outsider.

I'm no outsider. I'm a porn director.

Today is an event for invited guests only.

I can't get off to your videos.

It's clear the girls aren't enjoying it.

Their faces are dead.

Especially you.

Your face is like a robot.

Thank you for your opinion, but I'd rather you not spoil this party.

If you don't mind?

- This way. - I'll show myself out.

Go home!

Toss him out.

Hey, you!

Thanks for the food.

Megumi!

Dance with us! Don't be a party-pooper.

Come on, let's dance now.

Are you all having fun?

It's now time for some slow dancing!

I'm going to get a drink.

What?

Come on!

- Good work. - Thank you.

- Hey, work hard. - Yes, sir.

- Thank you. - Good night.

- Good work. - Good work.

- Off to work? - Yes.

You have work?

- We're going this way. - Bye girls.

Oh, really? Good night.

- Bye. - See you.

- Off to work? - Yes, I'm heading over now.

Take care.

- Night. - Bye.

- To Roppongi. - Certainly.

- Give me a ride. - Wait, what?

- Let's go. - What are you doing?

Why are you here? I told you to get out.

Muranishi, adult video director.

Your angry face is more human and beautiful.

Ikezawa turns your face into a sex doll.

What the hell? You ripped me apart on stage.

It was just my honest opinion.

I don't get it.

What?

How could such a fine ingredient turn into such a horrible dish?

I told you, it's impossible!

I can't believe you followed me here.

I want to know if you're interested. Forget what Ikezawa wants.

Enough already!

You won't get away with trying to scout me away.

Why don't you choose your own path?

Aren't you bored to death from faking everything every day?

Fine. Let me say something, too.

"Toru Muranishi?" I've never even heard of your name!

Get off your high horse.

What does Poseidon pay you per film?

- Why should I tell you? - How much?

500,000 yen.

This is how much I value you. An advance payment.

But Ikezawa...

Again with that.

Is that all you can say?

TORU MURANISHI

Visit my office when you're ready.

What about this money?

Run off with it, if you want.

I'm back.

Hey.

Good evening.

How was it? Going home for a change.

Everything in my fridge was rotten, and I found some weird spores.

It's been a month, after all.

I see. Glad everything's fine.

Is that our next shoot?

Yes, I found an amazing actress.

Really, who is it?

What?

Okay, get out and get ready.

But sir... This is my place.

You think we have money for a studio?

- Oh gosh. - Heave-ho.

Are you really sure?

Open up.

- Why my place? - Hurry up.

Who tore my poster?

Get over here.

- Look here! It wasn't torn yesterday. - What?

- What? - Right here.

Hey, what the hell!

Who cares? Don't be fussy.

You're a boor. Meathead!

Virgin.

Shut up!

You're such a virgin.

No, I'm the opposite of...

Stop yapping, you two! Hurry up!

- You fools! - Okay.

Let's do this. Here.

- I'm worried. - About what?

Using a Poseidon actress without permission.

Thanks for being in our video.

- Mitamura. - Yes?

- Nervous? - Come here.

- A little bit. - Put your hand there.

It'll be fine. Not to toot our own horn, but our director will suit you better.

It's the right choice.

Wait a second.

- Come on, change positions. - Sure.

- Here. Put your arms out, like this. - Oh okay.

I think so, too.

Keep moving forward. We're running out of time.

You have seen her like twice before.

And you always thought she was so beautiful.

- See? That's the story. - Yes.

And you were deserted by your wife a few years ago.

- You're set. - Thank you.

Miku on set.

- Let's start. - Places.

- Hello. - Nice to meet you.

- Miku, you're a lonely widow. - Okay.

You're crying for your husband, a former National Rail worker.

Your husband's old boss visits.

Two lonely souls meet,

- and you accept him. - Okay.

- Make sense? Good. - Yes.

- Ready? - Yes.

Two lonely people madly lust for one another.

That contrast between loneliness and lust is important.

- Roll camera. - Rolling.

Let's go.

Ready...

Madam,

I have always loved you!

No, we shouldn't.

He's looking down from heaven.

Madam...

No, stop! No!

Don't worry, he's gone.

We shouldn't.

Give me more passion.

Oh, my god.

Miku, you want it too.

No, step aside. Straddle him.

- Got it. - Okay.

More passion.

This feels so good.

- I'm coming. - You're amazing.

Cut! Miku, come with me.

Are you kidding me?

What's wrong?

Your acting was a joke. Don't confuse me with Ikezawa.

I've put my life on the line. Give me all you've got.

- Do you want to take that off? - What?

It's keeping you caged. Try real sex.

I can't.

That's a bad idea. Real sex is unheard of.

All the more reason.

Are you suggesting we actually have sex?

Give me a break. I can't do that.

Why not, you wussy.

I'll get arrested.

I'll take responsibility.

I can't take this kind of heat. I'm out.

No, wait...

Let him go.

- Rugby get ready. - What?

Go get the costume.

- Okay. - You're taking over. Get ready.

Yes, sir.

Listen, real sex in porn is the norm overseas.

I'm done filming fake sex.

I won't force you. You decide.

That actor is an idiot. Rugby, do push-ups and pump up your muscles!

Hey Megumi, how'd it go with the guy from the disco?

Nothing happened.

- What? - Really?

It's time you find a boyfriend.

Yeah.

Talk about a late bloomer.

I know. Do you want me to hook you up?

- Hook me up, too! - Sure.

- What about you? - What?

Tell me. What's your sex life like?

Stop, Megumi.

You're curious?

Well, let me think.

- Don't. We don't have to share. - Well...

We have great chemistry.

- What are you saying? Stop. - It's the truth.

This is embarrassing.

- It is! - Why? Who cares?

There's no harm in sharing.

Maybe Satoko is faking it.

Why would she? Right?

Do girls fake it in bed?

What are you talking about?

You never know with girls. Right, Satoko?

Not all girls.

What... Satoko, is that true?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I think pretending is boring.

I'm going on back to the classroom.

Okay.

Are you really okay?

I'm not interested in half-hearted desires.

If you were convincing, I wouldn't be asking for real sex.

I see.

Right? You can do better than this.

I agree.

Sir, real sex is going to be trouble.

I said I'd take responsibility.

I'll pay another one million yen.

For something real.

I'm okay. Let's do it.

Excuse me.

Madam.

I have always loved you.

Madam.

Madam.

I'm honored to have sex with someone as beautiful as you.

Really?

Miku.

You look absolutely radiant.

Rugby, lift her up.

Yes.

Lift her up. Just stand up!

Stand up? Like this?

Right.

Now walk around. Move!

Madam.

Madam. Your husband is with us.

How is this?

Oh yes. You're feeling it.

The more you feel, the more you think of your husband.

Darling.

Delicious bento for sale!

Bento!

Bento for sale!

Bento!

- Bento for sale! - That's the way to go!

Okay, now go outside!

Go, go, go!

- I'm going! - Keep going!

Miku!

Junko, the hat.

- This is great! - Go, go! Keep going!

Nice!

I need a different angle. Turn around!

Look excited!

Good! That's nice!

Your love is absolutely dazzling! Go!

Yes, sir!

Hello!

Bento!

Go!

I'm coming! I'm coming!

Ok! That was fantastic.

Miku, you were amazing.

This is my place. Make sure you clean it up.

You should clean your own place.

- Good job. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Hey.

Oh, hello.

Oh, right. They're on the shelf.

Thanks.

Let's see.

THE WIDOW IN AN EKIBEN FUCK MIKU MINAMI

Hey man, look!

That's one step forward.

We did it.

Your video was different and interesting.

But you know,

she's one of Poseidon's actresses. You sure you're okay?

That's good.

Such a refined flavor.

It's an independent branch of a famous restaurant.

Good.

Independent branches are a good system. They're a barometer for trust.

Now eat. All of you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

This is delicious.

- Could you pass me the dish? - Sure.

What's wrong? You're not hungry?

I'm sorry. I'm just very nervous...

- Nervous? - So cute.

She just signed with us last month. Her name is Shizuka Saeki.

No need to be tense. We're like family.

- He's right. - Relax.

Thank you.

- She's so adorable. - So cute.

Let me tell you about an interesting video I saw the other day.

- Really? - Tell us.

What was it like?

The couple was engaged in a position I have never seen before.

What do you mean?

And the girl's acting was unrestrained and free.

But I was having trouble getting turned on, so I took a closer look.

- Turns out the girl was... - Who was it?

Who was it?

One of our actresses.

Unfortunately...

that means...

her life is over.

Hey.

Stop crying.

It spoils the meal.

Coming through.

Hi, let me through.

- Could you please stop? - Hey, come down.

Just stop the music.

- Stop the music! - What the hell is this?

Hey, we're the police!

Stay where you are.

Miku Minami.

Come with us.

- No, wait! - Stand back!

Stand back!

Where are you taking her?

Shits like you are ruining our country.

Fuck off.

- Miku! - Miku!

If you're going to blame someone, blame Muranishi.

We need a guarantor to take you home.

Is your mother okay?

Please.

Please don't tell my parents.

Please!

I'll do anything.

Just please don't tell them.

Hey, didn't we call them already?

Yes.

Too late. We told them everything.

Oh, right.

I forgot to give you this.

You never call anymore.

Are you going to work?

Of course I am.

Actually, I'm saving up right now so I can send you on a trip.

Honey, your thoughtful offer is enough.

Are you okay with money?

No way.

PORN ACTRESS MIKU MINAMI HAS REAL SEX ON SCREEN

TORU MURANISHI

Megumi. What are you doing?

Yes, Mother.

Dinner is ready.

Hurry up and come down.

I'll be right down.

So what happened to Miku?

She's back home. Said she's laying low for a while.

Just when we finally made something that sells too.

That's not the issue here!

That's not the issue at all.

That's why I was against it.

Miku...

I'm responsible, too.

I should've tried harder to stop you.

Hey man, so about our shoot tomorrow...

There's no use beating yourself up, man.

We can't stop now.

We have to keep filming, right?

He's right. We have a shoot tomorrow.

I know.

We have a situation.

What is it?

The actress for our next shoot suddenly canceled on us.

What? Did she go AWOL?

No.

Not quite.

Just one more.

So you're a tile away.

Sorry, Furuya. I'm going to win this one.

Never let your guard down. I could be close too.

Consider yourself warned.

You better watch out for Muranishi, too.

He's not even on my radar.

He got under your skin.

I got rid of an actress who broke the rules.

If you say so.

He can't be underestimated.

He's got vision and balls of steel.

He can be a pain in the ass.

Nonsense. Even if he does cause a problem, you'll handle him, right?

Well, he's on my turf, so he's at my beck and call.

Granted that I get favors in return.

Right, King of Porn?

I know.

Ron!

- I win. - That was a bad move on my part.

It's a big win for me. Take a look.

Fine, here.

As always, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.

Here, you should try one.

It's too sweet.

- Yes, I see, but... - The shoot is tomorrow.

- ...can you send one actress? - Anyone is fine.

No? But we need someone for tomorrow.

I see.

I'll make the fee worth your while.

Junko!

- We have a problem. - What?

Tomorrow's actress backed out.

- What? - What did you say?

Don't fuck with me! You're not making any sense!

You...

Muranishi.

We're being frozen out.

We know who's behind this.

Oh, here you are.

Long time no see.
