LALA PIPO is a new movie from Tetsuya Nakashima (MEMORIES OF MATSUKO) who's being billed as the screenwriter and who's backing first time director, Masayuki Miyano, who's made his film based on a book by Hideo Okuda that Amazon memorably describes:

"'This sleazy novel is not recommendable for ladies and gentlemen.' So reads the jacket of the Japanese edition of this collection of six dark, interrelated, tragicomic chapters dealing with themes of desire, inadequacy, and failure, using the underbelly of sex as its canvas. As misheard by one of the characters, ' a lot of people,' is LALA PIPO. LALA PIPO is an ingenious tapestry of absurdity, whose cast of unlikable characters cross the line of good taste that even those who have crossed the line cannot help but notice... like an episode of SEINFELD directed by Bob Guccione..."

The flick stars Hiroki Narimiya (NANA, AZUMI) as an porno scout who recruits an Office Lady (played by pop starlette, Yuri Nakamura) to do adult videos. The teaser trailer is on the internubs and the official website is up and the movie has wrapped. It's slated for a February 2009 release.
