The official blog for the upcoming sex-themed omnibus film, Virgin, has been updated with a new trailer.
The film features three parts, each dealing with the general theme of the loss of virginity in the teens, 20s, and 30s, respectively.
“Kuchi-bakka” was directed by Fukushima-born filmmaker Rikiya Imaizumi. Second-year high school student Midori Nakamura (Mutsumi Sato) starts a relationship with classmate Ichikawa (Kentaro Tamura), who was previously rejected by her older sister, Futaba (Yukie Kawamura). Midori worries that he may still prefer her sister, but she also has anxiety about being a virgin. In a moment of mutual indiscretion on Ichikawa’s birthday, she winds up having sex with him in Futaba’s bedroom.
“Gorgeous Princess!” was directed by Takuya Fukushima (Our Brief Eternity) and is described as a high tension love comedy. Plain-looking Azusa (Yuki Osaki) and popular character Rie (Erika Umeda) are part of an entertainment duo called “Gorgeous Princess!

"Our Brief Eternity" is one of those rare delights: a film that could be called science fiction, but eschews the all-too familiar mold and restrictions of genre movies. One indication of its independent spirit is its one-of-a-kind protagonist: Teru (played with great charisma by Kouta Kusano), an unemployed slacker clad in a tattered poncho who ponders philosophical matters like death and time as he wanders aimlessly around Tokyo and drinks. Through his voiceover narration, he explains that he is fed up with all the mundane things in the world, and his disillusionment and detachment remain a constant attribute of his character throughout the film. Odd occurrences begin to happen around him - specifically, people are fainting without any warning. They wake up again before too long, and appear relatively unaffected from that point onwards. However, the fainting spells are the result of a strange disease that affects memory, in such a way that,...
