Hello from this side of the pandemic! I subbed another queer film! Directed by Yukisada Isao, this was the 34th highest grossing film of 2020 in Japan making 7 billion yen (6.7 million usd) at the box office, which is no small feat considering it’s rated R-15 for containing graphic gay sex scenes. Anyway, please continue scrolling!
Summary: Ootomo Kyouichi (boyband idol Ookura Tadayoshi) is a wishy-washy man-whore with a seemingly successful life. This all changes when his wife hires a private detective (Narita Ryou) who turns out to be a man from his past. A whirlwind romance ensues.
Note: There is quite a bit of sex in this film so I probably wouldn’t watch it with my grandpa.
I know that many of you visit my blog for wholesome content, so please notice that this is not exactly a heartwarming film. No gays are buried or killed so you don’t have to worry about that, but these are some deeply flawed, quite terrible people. At the same time, there is something very human about their brand of terrible, whether it’s blaming others for your own actions or sabotaging your happiness because you’re addicted to feeling miserable.
My review of this film is that it feels like a long moody drive in the night and into dawn.
To watch, please make sure the video and the subtitle file are saved in the same folder under the same name, and the subs should play automatically at least on VLC or Media Player Classic.
You can use my translation in fannish works, but please do not reupload my subs or my raw files to streaming sites. That’s all I ask. I have a Kofi if you’d like to leave me a tip, but let’s be honest no one forced me to do this, so please don’t feel obliged.

I recorded & converted the film myself. I had some technical issues which is why the film is in two parts, I’m sorry about that. I will not offer any technical support.
Please try again if the files are down.
