Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pink films dominated Japanese B-cinema in the 70s, with Nikkatsu's Roman Porno line specifically requiring explicit content every 10 minutes.
Shirakawa became Nikkatsu's first true star of the genre; this quasi-biopic was made while she was still ascending, not looking back.
