They ask Reiko, an art model who comes to their drawing class, to be their model for an extra-curricular production.

Kono receives pocket money from his companion's lover through mother-son-like conversations. Naoya visits Reiko's house and takes off his coat in front of the front door. The accumulation of small details creates quiet pauses that not only highlight the outlines of the characters, but also give the film an elegance and tranquillity that is probably a quality of the director.

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.

"My name is Aziz Shakhar. I had studied the law for two years at the Cairo university. Now I'm living in Amman, Jordany..." A footage which I picked up to cite was one of a "pre-text". In this film, I tried to make a metric film just like a 60-70's structural film. I assumed the film as a set of serialized footage on time. Systematic re-editing made us new meanings and images itself.

The live concert movie centers around the last day at Yokohama Arena during his first tour "HIDE OUR PSYCHOMMUNITY - Hide no Heya e Yokoso". Hide's ideas and stage gimmicks were constantly changing and developing even during concert tours. Another surprise about this video is that in 1993, Hide already foresaw that there was going to be a hardware that allows viewers to enjoy films in multi-angle mode, and because of that idea, the clip for "Doubt" was filmed in multi-angle mode. That film footage was shelved till now that finally DVD carries that feature.

Signals like the moon, streetlights like stars. The camera warmly captures the winter night roads, and the director's eye is also that of a director looking at two people who are more than friends but less than lovers. When Sakai chooses what is most important to him without hesitation, i.e. when he accepts the responsibility of loving her, the period in which she "had chosen" to leave him gives the story a deeper depth. A film that uses unrealistic motifs but depicts the birth of happiness in a sufficiently realistic way.

Ye Ling is left to raise her son alone after her husband divorces her and leaves for Singapore.

1990 Original Video.

Shoutaro suddenly says he might quit university and take over his family's bicycle shop, and returns to his hometown. Shoutaro's best friend, Yosuke, and his girlfriend, Kyoko, are at a loss as to what to do. The film is a fresh take on an ordinary scene in Tokyo. The fuzzy pain of a man and a woman who have lost their best friend and their lover is expressed in a refreshing and poignant way. The director's skill in giving life to the bicycle as a prop and letting it tell the story of Shotaro's existence and the delicate relationship between Kyoko and Yosuke shines through.

Postwar Shinjuku. In this city where confusion and rebirth intersected, there were two legendary men who were known to everyone. They were Mitsugu Kano and Noboru Ando. Many people, including Ryu and Hoshiken of the Gurentai, admired these men who were not affiliated with any organization and lived proudly in their own way. Kano's reputation as a man who never used tools in a fight because of his extraordinary prowess, and who never turned tail when push came to shove, no matter who the opponent was, even reached the ears of Jihei Tsumura of the Tsumura-gumi, which was in charge of Shinjuku at the time.
