Daydream (白日夢, Hakujitsumu) is a 1981 Japanese pink film directed by Tetsuji Takechi. It is a remake of Takechi's 1964 pink film of the same name, and is considered the first hardcore pornographic film to be released theatrically in Japan.
Background
Maverick theater and film director Tetsuji Takechi had directed Japan's first big-budget pink film in 1964 with Nagisa Oshima's cinematographer between 1965 and 1968, to shoot his film.[3]
Noticing
Asahi Shimbun called it a breakthrough film as Japan's first hardcore pornographic movie,[4] and Aizome received national notoriety from starring in the film, thereby becoming Japan's first hardcore pornographic star. Her name became a selling-point for future films such as Kyōko Aizome's Somber Reminiscence (1983).[5] Sexual acts in the movie are unsimulated.[6][7]
