The Naked Director

I had always thought Japanese series was mostly about action but this really changed my mind, it's a truly unique story with great characters and I basically watched all episodes in a row and felt sad when it was the end of episode 8. That alone says a lot about the story. I really hope there's a second season planned.

The naked director is pure entertainment and surprisingly with heart! This show has its own taste unlike the other shows out there on other streaming services! Takayuki is a damn good actor and this time he has proved that he can do any role! Naked director is Too entertaining but yes its hard R bcuz of the sexy scenes! But i m also sure that if u start watching u will love to go on till the end bcuz of its awsome story telling n performances from the actors! Definite watch!

After Henry Ford with his Ford T in the automotive sector, after Ray Kroc for the MacDo franchises in the fast food sector, here is the story of Toru Muranishi who developed porn business across the Japanese archipelago. Or how a poor lover and a pathetic door-to-door salesman became an emotion-less businessman in the Japanese porn, thanks to the bini-bon, the ura-bon and then the video. He was an innovative entrepreneur and the well-known director of a Japanese company massively producing adult videos. He was even nicknamed « the dirtiest of the industry's dirty old men ».

As a synthesis, this series is really enjoyable.

PS: the recurrent extracts of the song 'The passenger' from Iggy Pop and interpreted by Siouxsie and the Banshees are in perfect adequacy with this series: « I am the passenger, And I ride and I ride, I ride through the city's backside. »

This is my first Japanese TV series I've ever watched and it certainly wont be my last. I gotta say the whole show until the end was captivating and heart breaking at the same time lol. A must watch for anyone who wants to see a great true story told in 80s Japan. Also I'd recommend watching it in English subtitle as their original voice adds to the awesomeness of the show. Cheers!
