About the way of writing a plot open to interpretation, our biggest influence is Satoshi Kon and Millenium Actress. About the second part of the film, the eroticism of Pinku’s director Masaru Konuma and the first experimental films of Tinto Brass. About the work on details and editing, Shinya Tsukamoto.
