The second, , released in March 1987, was part of Nikkatsu's new "Roman X" line, which was purportedly more "hardcore" than the standard "Roman Porno". However, Japan's practice of censorship by fogging out genitals made this move into "hardcore" rather pointless, since, as Donald Richie put it in his pioneering essay on the "Pink film", "none of the working parts are ever shown." Both of these first two films were judged little more than AVs on film, and were not popular with either AV fans or the critics, who preferred Nikkatsu's older "Roman Porno" style.
