"STREET OF JOY" "A Nikkatsu production" "Go on, if you must..." "It's not hard" "Help me out" "Can't you do that yourself?" "That feels good..." "You busy yesterday?" "What?" "Lots of customers?" "Don't remember" "Twice as many as usual?" "Maybe...it's New Year holiday" "You should keep count" "Why?" "Try to break the record" "How about it?" "No chance" "Why not?" "Can't see the point" "Are you wet?" "Stop it!" "About this record..." "No chance." "I couldn't do it that many times" "Even with someone you liked?" "Then I'd come." "And I'd be too tired to carry on" "Why not try?" "No" "I guess you had too many last night," "What's it to you?" "Well, c'mon then..." "let's do it," "Can I touch it this time?" "You can fuck me, but no touching!" "Forget it..." "What's wrong?" "I have to go" "Really?" "What time is it, then?" "It's nearly nine" "Nine already?" "I'm sorry" "You don't have to get up" "I'll see you off downstairs" "Are you alright?" "I'm fine" "You snored all night" "People say I do." "But I don't notice" "It's cold" "What's that for?" "Because you missed out this morning" "Making up for it with a kiss?" "Maybe I love you" "Then I'm happy" "Please come again." "I mean it" "Can I touch it next time?" "See you" "STREET OF JO Y" "The story is set in 1955" "Just before the licensed brothels were abolished" "The Prince and his fiancée" "Madame, it's time for me to go" "You deserve to be happy" "You've worked hard these 2 years" "Here" "You shouldn't, really" "For your wedding." "I wish I could give more" "Thank you." "Good-bye" "Don't forget us. come visit some time" "It's cold" "You mustn't ever come back here" "Don't say that, Shimako" "I get the feeling I will be back" "It's freezing" "It is" "Getting married?" "Maybe..." "Who knows?" "Over here!" "Straight on!" "Stop here" "A sash with golden thread... adorns her wedding kimono" "But why, oh why... does the bride weep so?" "We can't afford a wedding, but we can have pictures" "Pictures?" "Wedding pictures" "But..." "I rented... a wedding kimono!" "Darling!" "My darling" "The pageant of dressing for the wedding... continues apace" "But why, oh why... does the bride weep so?" "I never thought I'd..." "What?" "...get married" "The madam gave me 20,000 yen" "Let's use it for a honeymoon" "Okay" "Ready?" "Darling" "I ran all the way." "Don't be mad" "Please..." "We could do this cheaper at the brothel" "How come?" "You'd pay the madam 300 yen, right?" "I give you back my cut of 120 yen..." "So you'd only pay 180 yen" "Here we pay 500 yen for the room" "It's a waste of money" " Why hit me?" " I'm not a customer" " I know..." " So don't treat me like one" " I didn't mean that" " Yes, you did" "You see me as just another customer" "Is that what I am?" "Just another fuck?" "No, I never meant that." "Don't say that" "If it was up to me..." "We'd be lying naked... under a starry sky" "I'm sorry." "I should think before I speak" "I don't want to shame you." "That's why I don't go there" "I understand" "Don't ever ask me to share your bed with customers!" "Forgive me." "Never again" "I'm ashamed to make you work there" "I know" "Got any money?" "Here" "That's 2 week's wages" "So?" "You'll have nothing left" "I only need money for the public bath" "Is 1000 yen enough?" "Darling?" "You coming to Akasuka later?" "Not today" "Pity" "I have to see the boss" "Come see me soon?" "Tamae has lived in Tamanoi as long as anyone remembers" "Ooh!" "Aah!" "Ooh!" "Aah!" "Ooh!" "Aah!" "Leaving already?" "Your bitch too proud to see me off?" "Wait." "I'll get her for you" " Ai, your client is leaving" " Forget it!" "Ai-chan!" "What is she doing?" "Ai-chan, get up!" "What?" "He isn't worth the effort" "Don't be stupid, girl." "That's not the point" "When a man spends a night with a girl anything could happen." "There's all sorts out there" "He could be a thief, murderer, psycho" "When I see you downstairs with him, I know you're safe" "That's why you should bow" "Do it properly" "Head lowered, on your knees" "You understand?" "I'm sorry" "The petals of the apple blossom" "Are rustling in the wind" "Naoko?" "Your client is here" "Thank you for coming." "Happy New Year" "Come on, Naoko." "He's waiting" "We look forward to your continued patronage" "Well, look who it is!" "Too early?" "I was still asleep" "I thought you'd be working..." "Shall I come back?" "No, come on upstairs" "Am I the first today?" "Yes, go on up" "I'll get some tea" "The smell of woman" "I smell sex" "I'll open the window" "No need" "Your tea" "Just a sip..." "New Year prices?" "Yes, a bit higher than usual" "500 yen enough?" "Yes." "Fine..." "One, two, three..." "And one extra for me, please" "100 yen more" "I'll let you...touch it" "Can I really?" "Yes, just a bit" "A bit is enough" "600..." "Okay?" "How much did I make yesterday?" "Yesterday?" "19 quickies" "One hours?" "Three." "And one all-nighter" "So, 23 altogether" "Shigeko had 26 on New Year's day two years ago" "26 clients?" "It was New Year...!" "So if I can make 27, it'll be a new record" "Have to be all quickies" "Can I have 100 yen?" "I want to give it back" "Why?" " I told him he could touch me" " Why not let him?" "If he gets me horny..." "I'll never break the record" "Think you can beat 26?" "I can try..." "Shigeko, she's out to break your record" "In bed already?" "I'm sorry... but you'll have to take this back" "I can't touch it?" "Just sex this time" "Why?" "Because..." "I'll be quite busy today" "Well...how about taking off your top?" "If I do, can I keep the 100 yen?" "Alright." "Here you go" "Thank you" "Okay..." "Slowly does she wind the sash around her body" "But why, oh why does the bride weep so?" "Not like that" " Softly" " What's wrong?" "It hurts." "Try to be more gentle" "Not very good am I?" "Not really..." "Can I touch it?" "Be gentle, though" "Stop!" "What's wrong?" "Not there" "Why not?" "It's not the right place" "I know that" "Do it properly" "I'm trying" "No!" "Stop it" "Let me" "Now we're really married" "I didn't bring anything" "Wipe yourself on the dressing gown" "I'll go to the bathroom" "Pull it out" "Do you love me?" "Really?" "Do you?" "I don't think this is going to work" "In two years, Kimiko had never had even one quickie" "Are you really a virgin?" "Alright" "I'll show you what to do" "If you really are a virgin..." "I'll give you this" "Come here" "Don't be afraid" "Stop it!" "Everyone here is doing the same thing" "There's no reason to be afraid" "See?" "It wasn't anything..." "That was just a kiss" "No fear, no pain" "Now, you must do the next thing by yourself" "I won't help you" "Take off your clothes... then get into bed" "Hurry up!" "I'll go to the bathroom" "You get into bed" "Poor girl" "We all had to..." "Two years at the brothel was a long time for Kimiko" "Relax" "Let yourself go" "Easy!" "Hold me tight" "Tighter!" "It's nothing" "Hold me tighter" "That was the day her two years began" "Fill this house with customers" "The petals of the apple blossom" "flutter in the breeze" "Fill this house with customers" "Hey, come on in!" "Again?" "What?" "He's gambling again?" "Hey!" "You want a good time?" "Money?" "Shimako, you're too soft" "Why's that?" "You go for any guy with a tattoo..." "We're good, and we're cheap!" "Remember you liked my brooch?" "Want to buy it for 5000 yen?" "But it was a present from your boyfriend" "Hey, come on in!" "I'll buy it back next week for 5,500 yen" "I make 500 yen?" "It's a good deal" "But what if I don't want to sell it back to you?" "Then it's yours" "All right" "It's a deal" "I have to raise 10,000 yen" "Sorry to keep you waiting" "You're good" "Want a blow job?" "Really?" "For another 500 yen" "Forget it" "Okay" "Listen...can you do me a favour?" "Afterwards, can I go out for a little while?" "Turning tricks?" "No, of course not" "Okay" "Come on" "Don't look" "It's cold" "So what?" "I want to see your cunt" "Please, it's embarrassing" "What's the difference?" "When we're covered, I don't mind." "That's my job" "I want to watch you while we do it" "Well..." "If you let me take my time, when I go out" "Wow!" "What's that tattoo?" "A cherry." "Like the playing cards" "Don't rub so hard" "I told you it's embarrassing" "Faster, please" "God!" "I've never seen one so hungry" " Incredible!" " Stop looking at it" "Now Shimako moves in a special way" "And he can't hold back" "It's funny..." "It doesn't matter who I'm with... or where it happens..." "The moment he floods into me, it fills my being" "Who's there?" "It's me, to see Shiba" "Evening." "Go on in" "Any more?" "Place your bets" "I won..." "I lost" "What's up?" "Here..." "For you..." "Is this all?" "It's all I've got" "No excuses!" "Shimako had made a pledge to her gangster lover, Shiba" "Shimako!" "Where you going?" "Back to work" "Shiba not with you?" "He's busy right now" "She had already given Shiba her day's earnings" "Want to make a bit on the side?" "We can go over there" "No, let me go" "Don't be like that." "I won some money" "Look!" " I don't work the streets" " Come on!" " I said no!" " I've got money." "I can pay" "Come on" "No!" "Stop it!" "I followed you all the way from the club" " Let me go!" " You'll enjoy it" "I said no!" "Shimako!" "I said I'll pay you" "Come back!" "Don't!" "And so Shimako did not betray her lover, Shiba" "Shimako sang a sad song while she waited" "What's up?" "Please hold me" "Been waiting for me?" "Please" "You didn't ask why I waited for you" "A man doesn't" "Why not?" "You waited." "That's enough for me" "I'll take a bath first" "Why not...?" "What?" "Why not have the sun tattooed here?" "I will...when I have something to celebrate" " And I will..." " What?" "...help that wish come true" "Thank you" "From now on..." "I'm going to work extra hard for you" "By tattooing her thigh, Shimako made known to all her oath to her beloved Shiba" "When Tamae was but 13 years old... her father died from drink" "Tamako!" "Yes?" "Naoko's 10th customer" "Hello there" "Take off your clothes" "I'm from the coast, I have very dark, ugly skin" "I paid 200 extra to have you naked" "Nice" "Doesn't that turn you on?" "I just ate" "You don't feel anything?" "Never in my breasts" "How about the other place?" "Of course!" "I am a woman..." "That's good" "Feel good?" "Yes" "It should." "I've been storing it up" "What about your wife?" "Why waste it?" "Come on, give me all you've got" "Oh, baby!" "Naoko" "I'll give you a tip" "What's that?" "How to make a man come quicker" "Ohoose young guys, right?" "Goes without saying" "Master, you got the hots for Naoko?" "This advice is for all of you" "Before you go upstairs to a customer... stand over this hibachi" "And warm up your cunt!" "Ount over coals?" "Yes." "Works every time" "A man likes a warm one" "Now he'll want to inspect you all" "Pervert!" "Nothing I haven't seen before" "What men like is to feel it." "I can tell you that" "You don't say?" "Listen to me." "It's no good cold" "A hot cunt makes a man finish quickly" "Believe me" "I don't need tricks to break the record" "Give us the right to sell our bodies!" "TOKYO PROSTITUTES UNION" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Why, oh why, does the bride weep so?" "Why does she, on this of all days, dab at her eyes?" "All dressed in satin and silk" "Her hair piled on her head" "Hey!" "How are you, then?" "Enjoying married life?" "Hello" "Hello" "Madam...?" "Hello" "Kimiko, how are you?" "And how's your husband?" "So-so" "Is he good to you?" "He made breakfast this morning" "He's like that" "What brings you here?" "Nothing in particular..." "I just came" "I was happy here" "You aren't getting on?" "What?" "Well, you don't look like a housewife" "You think so?" "Perhaps I never should have left" "Don't say that" "Isn't he good to you?" "He tries, but he's not very good" "Not good at what?" "In bed" "Silly." "I thought you meant he beat you" "I only enjoy sex when I'm working" "Don't be so silly" "Just teach him how to do it properly" "I tried." "He's hopeless" "Kimiko, maybe you've become frigid?" "Maybe." "That's what worries me" "Why not test yourself?" "Test myself?" "With a customer" "Don't talk foolish" "Ah, please come in!" "I don't want to" "Why not?" "Drunks are too slow." "Go away!" "You just called me over!" "I didn't know you were drunk then" "Try somewhere else" "Don't worry." "I can still fuck!" "Are you sure?" "I feel really excited" "You're mad" "Some guy will want you if you stay" "Your husband won't like it" "I feel at home here" "He'll come after you" "Forget him" "I'm feeling horny" "Naoko's 16th customer" "Not hard yet?" "It will be" "It won't get stiff" "I'm not surprised" "Why not?" "I had a fuck just before I came here" "That's why I hate drunks" "Don't worry it'll soon be hard" "You're making fun of me" "You were happy enough when I paid you" "I'll never break the record like this" "What record?" "Come on, at least try" "Let me kiss you" "No way, you know that" "It'll make me hard" "Next you'll want to touch me up" "Just a kiss will do" "You stink of drink" "Come on!" "Otherwise it won't get hard" "Stop that!" "See?" "Now it's hard" "I really hate drunks" "Wait" "Don't!" "That hurts!" "Not a virgin are you?" "Shut up and be quick" "No good." "It's gone soft again" "Do something" "We can try again in a minute" "I hate drunks." "He can't do it" "You'll never beat 26 now" "Maybe this will work" "What's that?" "What you doing?" "Thought you weren't going to use tricks..." " You'll burn it" " It's worth a try" "Shigeko, we have to talk" "The House of Beniya is looking for girls" "You've been here five years." "The clients want new faces" "It'll be a good move for you" "You'll get new customers at Beniya's" "Is your boyfriend that tough looking guy?" "Why?" "I saw him" "Where did you see him?" "I went to a department store today" "I saw him in the cake shop there" "You must be mistaken" "It was him" "He doesn't eats sweets" "No, but he was with someone who did" "Who?" "A young girl" "Was it really Shiba?" "I'm sure" "Probably a working girl" "Shouldn't I have told you?" "We were supposed to meet, but he didn't come" "I won't be long" "Where you going?" "May our house be always full of customers" "Just another of Shigeko's regular performances" "She can't" "Why not?" "Forget her" "I'll give you a special treat" "You sure?" "Why not?" "He fancies you." "Take him" "How much?" "500" "That's steep." "But how can I refuse?" "I'm worth it" "Kimiko, come here" "You go ahead." "The top room" "I'll borrow your room" "You mustn't" "Don't worry" "He'll find out" "I'll wash." "He won't notice" "What's up?" "I'm already wet" "You're crazy" "I'm going to enjoy this" "Here I am" "That feels good" "Don't stop" "Please...fuck me" "It's strange..." "What?" "It feels so good" "Don't stop." "Please don't stop" "Why?" "Why does it feel so good?" "What are you doing?" "Why sleep here?" "I fell asleep" "Were you going to sleep here all night?" "What time is it?" "Eleven" "Where have you been?" "What?" "Who were you with today?" "Bitch" "What?" "You've no right to question me" "Why not?" "Women don't ask" "Not even my mother" "It's not a woman's business" "But I want to know" "What's this all about?" "I waited for you" "Please don't" "You shut up" "Why do you do it?" "You'll never have a sun in your tattoo" "What you on about?" "Please...don't inject yourself" "I made this today. 5000 yen" "I won't nag you" "Even if you have a girl who's not a whore" "Even if you really love her..." "I won't complain" "Only...please stop the drugs" "You want a beating?" "I know where you were today" "But I'll never mention it again" "But please...put the sun in your tattoo" "Come out and say it!" "If you want a man to be your slave, find someone else" "Don't get mad" "Please" "Leave it!" "Darling" "Leave those drugs alone!" "You don't need this shit!" "Stupid bitch!" " Go ahead!" "Hit me." "I don't mind" " Shut up!" "Get out of here!" "Not until you swear to give up drugs" "You broke three ampoules" "You don't need it!" "You'll get cut" "I don't mind" "You're bleeding!" "I don't care" "Go ahead and kill me if that's what you want" "Will you stop it!" "Are you alright?" "You need a doctor" "If you leave me, I'll just die" "I'll never leave you" "Promise me..." "I love you." "Truly" "Really?" "I wouldn't lie" "Really?" "Then make love to me, now" "You should see a doctor" "After you do it" "Naoko's 25th customer" "It's the 25th" "You are quite mad" "Only two more." "I feel dizzy..." "I'm all yours" "You're really hot" "Am I?" "Burning" "You set me on fire" "Kimiko's husband never came for her" "The bell sounds for close of business" "Come in honey" "Get lost!" "There's still time" "How about it?" "You scared me, running up like that" "Let it all out" "I already did" "There must be some left" "It's all gone" "You know, you look like a ghost" "Do I?" "Your wild hair and your glowing eyes" "Really?" "Well, I'm not a ghost" "Without telling anyone" "Shigeko decided to move to another house" "They said that Shigeko's cunt was as deep and welcoming as the sea" "Producer:" "Akira Miura" "Original story:" "Ikko Shimizu" "Written by Tatsumi Kumashiro" "Photography:" "Shinsaku Himeda" "Sound:" "Ichizo Akiyama" "Editing:" "Akira Suzuki" "Drawings:" "Yu Takita" "Directed by:" "Tatsumi Kumashiro"
