But it has convinced me to move back to Tokyo!
A big letdown if you want something hot.......2005-01-02
This Japanese movie revolves around a Tokyo callgirl who, not surprisingly, keeps running into weirdos. If you are looking for something to turn you on late at night, this may not do the trick, as it doesn't really have any good scenes -- I guess the beginning scene was probably the best, followed by the S&M one with the lady in heavy makeup. If you want a good storyline, you shouldn't even be looking at this video! I wouldn't say this one sucks, it's just not very satisfying, if you know what I mean.
There's a real meaning here . . ........2004-04-13
This movie isn't about a hooker, or S & M, though on the surface it seems like it is. Think about the name. Tokyo Decadence. Its about the 1980s and the changes in Japan during that time because of the economic boom. Its about fantasy. Its about what happens when you get "wealth without pride". The clash of the traditional and the modern producing a lost generation. OK, so its not the "best" movie ever, but if you put a little thought into it before you see it, you will get much more out of it. I really liked it though it may not be the most popular of movies. The movie was based on a book . . . so give it some slack.
about this movie Tokyo Decadence............2003-04-24
There is, in fact, no story in this movie but only ro say that the actress, in the first opening shot of the movie, finding finding the actor in the last part of the story. All the sex scene performed are 'crazy' and the last sex scene showed that the men were forced to drink the pee of the woman!....I would say that this is not a nice film to watch.
Pretty hot Japanese bondage erotica.......2002-09-25
This is a softcore Japanese bondage erotica film; it contains some scenes that are sure to repulse some viewers, some that others will find extremely erotic. Personally, I thought that there were some scenes that rated high on the orgasm scale... and others were a turn-off. But everyone's taste differs. Essentially the movie is a tour through the Tokyo sex underground. There's no more "there" there, if you get my drift... it's not art, it's softcore porn. There is a "plot" of sorts, but that's mainly just the director's fig leaf to cover the various sex scenes.

The fourth feature film written and directed by the Japanese novelist Ryu Murakami (Coin Locker Babies) revels in S&M episodes that seem to owe less to the Japanese tradition of the "pink film" than to such Euro art-bondage movies as Maitresse and A Woman in Flames. Visually, the sequences stop well short of hard core, and emotionally they are amorphous, too, even less unsettling than standard porno fare. What ultimately saps the movie's strength is its schematic approach to character. The loosely structured picture tags along after a timid young woman named Ai (Miho Nikaido), a recent college graduate who has found work in the big city as a hooker specializing in low-impact bondage. Ai seems less a character than a convenient object for Murakami's flip sense of high-tech alienation. (She claims to have learned only one thing in life: "That I have no talent of any kind.") The nonstick surfaces of her daily life, like her personality, are almost completely without distinguishing features; the only gestures she makes toward taking control are some superstitious rituals prescribed by a sidewalk fortuneteller. Ai herself is such a hazy presence that nothing that happens to her stays with us. --David Chute
Description
Erotic sex or dangerous fantasy? You decide! In the most lavish penthouses, visible only through the keyholes, there exists a dangerous and erotic world. High-paid prostitutes who specialize in high-stakes games make the rounds. The richer the client, the wilder the ride. When fantasy gets too rough for one young call-girl, escaping becomes her reality.

Toyko Toyko-Where art thou Tokyo.......2006-06-17
A little on the twisted side, which is why I enjoyed it. Having lived in Tokyo I could follow the story pretty well though I never I got to see this side!!
But it has convinced me to move back to Tokyo!
