Omnibus work of three directors - Baksheesh Yamashita, Company Matsuo and Katsuyuki Hirano (3 AV gals in 3 ACTS). A rich one-on-one confrontation between the director and the actress.

The film is divided into two chapters, "First Love" and "Endless Love", in which the author, Yoko Oguchi, chases after a different man, each saying "I love you! and chases after another man. In the second chapter, she screams in public, has sex with a man, shaves her hair and gets (really) yelled at by her parents. Beyond the fictionality and perfection of the drama, the author's daring and daredevil performance have a strong impact on the viewer.

Katsuyuki Hirano's 8mm movie "Galaxy Bicycle Night". Unlike a feature film, it is a movie that uses one camera and one battery light, and I wander around the city or park at midnight. There is nothing like a drama, it is composed of the first part and the second part, and it is a simple movie that ends with the existence of an ex-girlfriend, I was dating back then. Katsuyuki Hirano released this film when he was 23 years old.
