Lovelorn Masahiro goes on an odyssey to find fulfilment of his heart’s desire, and the sea he traverses are Tokyo’s open sewages.

Nagaremono zukan is a documentary video, release from V&R Planning (AV). "Flower Picture Book" is the second work in the bicycle trilogy after Yumika.

Omnibus work of three directors - Baksheesh Yamashita, Company Matsuo and Katsuyuki Hirano (3 AV gals in 3 ACTS). A rich one-on-one confrontation between the director and the actress.

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.

A camera races through the city, a camera licks its way around a room. Their gaze identifies with the artist's eyes, sits in his daily life, and looks around him. A high school girl, a grandmother in a liquor store, Pico the chicken. The author screams chases and beats up a man like a madman. This is a diary film in which we are forced to identify with the filmmaker through a hand-held camera that records the entire film.

A man (Masahiro Sugiyama), an idol otaku, picks up a monster fish and starts to raise it at home. At the same time, he moves in with a runaway girl (Yoko Oguchi), and the friction between them becomes more intense. The film was made at the end of the eighties, in response to the sense of stagnation in the provincial cities. It's a film with a darker side than my previous film "Love on the Street". It also has the strongest theatrical colour of all the films so far, but it shows the bankruptcy in a different way to "Street Corner of Love -".

Produced at the same time as Mito Torture: Oedo Dragging. This is a drama, a violent drama depicting a love triangle over a cute woman at a convenience store. At the time, small, high-performance video cameras called Handycams were beginning to appear on the market, and I came up with a drama that used this voyeuristic, criminal perspective. The convenience store was borrowed from the real thing. We aimed for realism.

Suddenly, however, with the voice of the artist saying, "No more deception," the camera stands in the middle of a rainy intersection. As if to say, "This is my expression," we can feel the artist's fresh breath.
