Daydream

Daydream (白日夢, Hakujitsumu) (1981) is a Japanese film. A remake by director Tetsuji Takechi of his ground-breaking 1964 Pink film of the same title, this film is considered the first hardcore theatrical release in Japan. Maverick theater and film director Tetsuji Takechi had directed Japan's first big-budget Pink film in 1964 with Daydream.

In 1981, the then 68-year old Takechi decided to return to film with a hardcore remake of Daydream. Takechi again chose Akira...
