A NIKKATSU PICTURE

Hello?

Hello, it's me.

Kyoko.

KVOkQ?

Why are you calling so late at night?

Oh, I'm sorry. It's morning here.

What? You're calling from Paris?

Yes.

Is everything okay?

Did something happen?

It's my husband.

He hasn't come home for four days.

Oh, is that all?

I wouldn't worry.

It's only four days.

But he's never done anything like this before.

Look,

you're not going to divorce him over something like that, are you?

This is something you have to figure out for yourself.

What are you going to do?

I really don't know.

Hey, come to Tokyo.

It's better than staying there on your own.

TO kyQ?

Take a break from all that French food.

Japanese food's not so bad, you know?

My darling Kyoko,

you fulfil me.

You intoxicate me

as if I were full to the brim with wine.

I could search the whole world over

and never find a woman as charming as you.

GONE TO TOKYO

TOKYO EMMANUELLE

How long since you've been back?

It must be four years now.

Four years since we broke up.

Nothing but French food ever since?

No affairs?

Pierre was my first.

We slept together 10 days after we met.

So you've been faithful since then?

Anyway,

enjoy yourself in Tokyo.

Thanks.

Stop the car.

I'll introduce you. This is Mr Hayakawa.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sure he'll treat you to some delicious Japanese food.

I'll take these to the hotel for you.

Pierre...

Pierre...

No.

Come on, it's alright.

Sorry, I'm not in the mood.

Biko set this up for you.

This is my friend Kyoko.

More competition!

I guess so.

Anyway, she's come from Paris to tear up the night in Tokyo.

From Paris?

So, let's talk about progress, how much have you made?

Come on, she means sex.

That's the same everywhere, isn't it?

I guess France is no great shakes either.

Stuck in the past, maybe.

You're married, right?

Tell us how it happened.

I fell in love with Pierre because we had sex right away.

Other men just caress you.

He made love to me 10 days after we met.

I'm Rumi.

Thanks.

They're a bunch of man-eaters.

They think sex is progress.

But they never get anywhere, right?

You're very beautiful.

You're not bad either.

You still wear these?

What's that?

Tired?

Mari?

Here.

I didn't call you here

just as bait for men.

I hope you're glad you came.

I want you to feel that joy

through your whole body.

You've given me an amazing welcome.

I'd like to trap you here in Tokyo.

I wish you would.

Is that what you really want?

What are you talking about? Shall I take a guess?

Sex, right?

We're talking about food.

Really? Your eyes were glittering so I thought you were talking about sex.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Don't leave me out, will you?

I'm ready for anything.

You saw my body earlier.

Want another look?

Stop it.

You should be more careful who you choose to share your body with.

You think so?

So you've never wanted people to be looking at your body?

I'm sure you have the confidence.

You do, right?

I'd never take my clothes off just for someone else to see.

Who for, then?

Everyone, myself.

When I get in the bath,

or when I'm sunbathing.

I enjoy seeing myself.

Wow.

It's great to have that kind of confidence.

My my, I think it's past your bedtime.

Your mother will give you a smack on the behind

if you're not home on time.

This is Mr Mali.

He gives lectures at the women's university.

What about?

I'd love to hear one.

Of course, whenever you like.

Please, take a seat.

As I expected, you have a very international physique.

Physique?

You mean my dress?

Foreign men might think it polite to compliment your dress.

But what do you think?

Would you rather be complimented on your dress or your body?

We've heard all about you.

You were wise to return to Tokyo.

You can change your life.

You're...

someone who can do that.

It just takes a little courage.

Do you lecture on female psychology?

No, Indian philosophy.

Fascinating.

What do you think about sex?

To my mind,

the women that come through here,

have thrown the accepted laws of sex

into the waste paper basket.

Spirituality,

sexuality,

even religion,

the essence of sex itself,

has become a homogenous blur

of incredibly civilised hedonism.

Of course, that's also

a basic law.

You did the right thing, running away from him.

The women who come through here become his victims.

Or perhaps I should say captives.

Captives?

Yes.

People have lost themselves body and soul

and ended up as freaks because of his talk of new eroticism.

Sex freaks?

Yes.

Sounds great.

So, won't you tell me?

Is his sex philosophy really right?

That's something you'll find out when you get a little older.

Goodnight.

Your mother will be cross if you're not back soon.

Yeah.

Yes, come in.

Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?

Yes.

I'm tired. I want to get a good night's sleep.

Do you have any sleeping pills?

Come here.

I have something better than pills.

Yes.

You placed a call to Paris?

I'm sorry but there's no answer.

Excuse me.

You have a message from a Mr Mali.

Thank you.

Did you sleep well?

Yes, thank you.

Excuse me.

Please, don't.

Stop it.

Don't.

What are you doing?

Hey, she's not wearing any pants!

She came prepared.

Stop it.

Help!

That's one fantastic arse, let me at it.

Hey, it's your turn.

Come on, hurry up.

Look.

See?

You bastards.

'Wow.

Glad you made it.

Look out.

Careful.

Watch it.

She's here!

Thanks.

Glad you got here okay.

I went to one of your lectures on Indian philosophy.

I have a special lecture prepared for you.

It's about the laws of the new sex that I was talking about before.

Well, anyway. Go and have a bath.

It's a tiring journey.

I've been thinking.

I want to talk about the new sex.

In the future, just having sex

will not be an act of eroticism.

Anyway, clean your body.

There's no eroticism in sexual pleasure derived from

impulse, habit, or duty.

In other words, there's no eroticism in the natural.

Eroticism is an attempt

to transcend nature.

It is erotic because it is unnatural.

For example, male homosexuality is a challenge against nature.

So male homosexuality is erotic.

Sex between multiple people is also unnatural.

So therefore, it is erotic.

This is another important law.

It can't be done in pairs.

There has to be an odd number of people.

For example, masturbation.

Those who masturbate

are both actor and audience.

No, don't stop. Carry on.

You must continue.

My darling Kyoko,

you fulfil me.

You intoxicate me as if I were full to the brim with wine.

Your big, kind eyes, and soft lips.

Your shapely bosom and slender legs.

I could search the whole world over

and never find a woman as charming as you.

Hey!

'Wow.

I missed you.

On a rare night the town

is covered by stars

The inside of my body

I thought so pure

is like ice

With cold words

the thread binding us

is forever severed

My heart is in pain

My heart is about to break

He's the Devil.

That man is the Devil.

Don't speak badly of people.

Why?

He can't do anything for himself.

That's why he forces his ideals on people.

He's a hypocrite.

Is that what you really think?

You've graduated from sex with people of the same gender,

you can now make love to a man.

Minoru.

There's nothing to fear.

It's a rite that everyone passes through.

Then you'll be an adult.

No, stop!

No.

Minoru, after her! You're a man, aren't you?

No.

No!

It hasn't changed at all.

The warmth of your hands.

Let's not do this.

It reminds me of four years ago.

It's over between us.

You resent me, don't you?

Back then,

I thought about going to Paris to kill you.

I didn't go in the end.

Just as well, really.

My darling Kyoko,

You fulfil me.

You intoxicate me

as if I were full to the brim with wine.

Your big, kind eyes, and soft lips.

Your shapely bosom

and slender legs.

I could search the whole world over

and never find a woman as charming as you.

It's really good.

It captures the co-lour of the mountains in a way we never could.

You really worked your magic.

I didn't think you'd be able to educate Kyoko so well.

She completely forgot about her husband in Paris.

Didn't she?

-Yes. - There's a call for you from Paris.

Thank you.

Hello?

Pierre? It's Kyoko.

Where are you?

Are you still in Tokyo?

Take me to dinner tomorrow?

How about L'Etoile?

Alright, I'll book a table.

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

I can't wait.

THE END
