So, this one, Groper Train Pleasure! Peach Butt Touch, dives into some pretty controversial themes. It's set against the backdrop of crowded Japanese trains, which really adds to that suffocating atmosphere. The pacing is odd, it feels almost like a slow burn, but then it hits you with some unexpected moments that reflect on societal issues, albeit in a very provocative way. The performances can be a bit exaggerated, typical for the genre, but you get a sense of the characters' struggles, especially Sakura, who’s caught between her father's bizarre philosophy and her own life. It's distinctive in how it walks that line between dark humor and discomfort, making you think about the absurdity of the situation while also being somewhat unsettling.
This title has seen limited releases, mostly in niche collections, which adds to its rarity. Its appeal lies in the audacity of its themes, often attracting curious collectors who are drawn to the more unconventional side of Japanese cinema. Not the easiest to find in good condition, especially in original formats, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for any listings that pop up.
