Yumika Hayashi, Katsuyuki Hirano
In 1997, Hirano Katsuyuki, a married, middle-aged AV director, and his 26-year-old actress and lover, Hayashi Yumika, set out to cycle from Tokyo to Hokkaido. Two video versions of their trip already exist, the intimate documentary Yumika and its gonzo porno alter ego 41-Day Adultery Bicycle Tour. Hirano’s Kantoku Shikkaku reframes this ambiguous relationship in light of Yumika’s death in 2005.

Lemon Hanazawa, Katsuyuki Hirano
Don't get it twisted: Yumika Hayashi is way more than just a porn star. She's a Rorschach test, film theory with curves, her screen image throwing off endless refractions within the hearts of those who knew her, loved her, or just got off to her. The "iron woman" of Japanese erotic film, best known for critically-acclaimed pink eiga LUNCHBOX, Hayashi died in 2005 at age 35, but in ANNYONG YUMIKA, the new documentary by Tetsuaki Matsue (LIVE TAPE), Yumika's legend is reborn, her passion made immortal.

Annyeong Yumika
愛の街角2丁目3番地
Katsuyuki Hirano
Masahiro Sugiyama, Sion Sono
When Otomo Katsuhiro saw his manga Good Weather credited as the “original novel” he burst out laughing. There’s not an iota of his book anywhere in the film. Made in the same year as Sono Sion’s A Man’s Flower Road, Hirano Katsuyuki’s Happiness Avenue (where Sono plays a role) is madder and more abandoned, in both filmmaking and content. Lovelorn Masahiro goes on an odyssey to find fulfilment of his heart’s desire, and the sea he traverses are Tokyo’s open sewages.
Happiness Avenue
銀河自転車の夜
Katsuyuki Hirano
Katsuyuki Hirano's 8mm movie "Galaxy Bicycle Night". Unlike a feature film, it is a movie that uses one camera and one battery light, and I wander around the city or park at midnight. There is nothing like a drama, it is composed of the first part and the second part, and it is a simple movie that ends with the existence of an ex-girlfriend, I was dating back then. Katsuyuki Hirano released this film when he was 23 years old.
