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 'Daydream'. He directed more films in the 1960s, including 'Black Snow' 1965, which resulted in a high-profile obscenity trial. During the 1970s he concentrated on writing projects, and served as the host of a successful television series, 'The Tetsuji Takechi Hour' for the previous decade. In 1981, the then 68-year old Takechi decided to return to film with a hardcore remake of 'Daydream'. Takechi again chose Akira Takeda, Nagisa Oshima's cinematographer between 1965 and 1968, to shoot his film,Weisser, p.102.
Noticing Kyko Aizome in one of her nude photo magazine appearances, Takechi chose the then unknown actress to star in the film. After the film's release, Aizome added to the controversy by admitting to having performed actual sexual intercourse on camera. Though, as Japanese law required, sexual organs and pubic hair were fogged on screen, the 'Asahi Shimbun' called it a breakthrough film as Japan's first hardcore pornographic movie, 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 'Kyko Aizome's Somber Reminiscence' (1983).Weisser, p.40. Sexual acts in the movie are unsimulated.[http://www.midnighteye.com/reviews/daydream/ Daydream, Year: 1981], Midnighteye, Published: 20 March 2001 ('"...a lengthy scene of unsimulated intercourse towards the end of the film..."')[https://hyperleap.com/topic/Kei_Sat%C5%8D Kei Sat] - with "Kyko Aizome": '("In 1981 he appeared in the film Daydream performing an unsimulated sex scene with actress Kyoko Aizome.")', Hyperleap, Access date: 06 May 2022
