Masuo is a hapless salaryman: squat, homely, with receding hairline and few social graces. He lives with his parents and looks older than he is. He has masturbatory fantasies about Anko, a schoolgirl who rides the same train as he. Pictures of her fill his wall. His sister and her boyfriend encourage him to tell Anko how he feels; otherwise, they say, he's a stalker and a pervert. Masuo puts a transmitter in a teddy bear and contrives to give it to Anko along with a note. Now that he has ceased to be anonymous, how will he handle her response? Is the film an examination of a culture's tolerance for older male fantasy and younger female passivity or just the story of one loser?

| User ReviewDerrick SI'm not sure what the title means, but I'm sure it's just lost in translation. Don't be deceived by the panties on the cover or the porn star lead actress... the film actually contains no nudity. It's more of an interesting character portrait of a Japanese man who takes obsession too far. It does that very well as we're made to sympathize and understand the character even when he makes bad choices. However, the ending has got to go. |
| User ReviewChristophe MDisturbing tale of a perverted old geezer that's obsessed with a schoolgirl he sees on a train each day. His antics reeks of desperation - he follows her around like a stalker and takes photos of her that plaster his room. Seriously this guy is sick! AV actress Aoi Sora as the schoolgirl might be pure eye candy but this movie is lame and the ending is stupid. Even the title of this movie makes no sense. |

| User ReviewRudy AA nonsensical plot that reflects the warped and flawed reasoning of the main character. A horrible premise from the start. |
