A government employee meets a hostess of a "pink club," and together they set out on a journey.

1985 film by Shinji Sōmai

A tragedy strikes a young woman's life without warning or reason. She continues living while searching for meaning in a lonely world.

The film depicts carnivalesque atmosphere summed up by the cry "Ei ja nai ka" ("Why not?") in Japan in 1867 and 1868 in the days leading to the Meiji Restoration. It examines the effects of the political and social upheaval of the time, and culminates in a revelrous march on the Tokyo Imperial Palace, which turns into a massacre. Characteristically, Imamura focuses not on the leaders of the country, but on characters in the lower classes and on the fringes of society.

A high-school girl inherits a declining yakuza organization, which seeks to repair its fortunes under her leadership.

A young boy and a girl with a magic crystal must race against pirates and foreign agents in a search for a legendary floating castle.
