Yuko, an office lady who was a member of the track and field team in her school days, never misses her morning jog. She has a crush on Teppei, a university student, but she is too shy to talk to him. Yuko has just moved to Tokyo and is not used to city life. One day she witnesses a molester on a crowded train and then gets molested herself. Even though she screams "stop it," the people around her are only distracted by her strong accent. Yuko finds solace at the izakaya run by Ken and Kumiko. Since Kumiko is from the same hometown, Yuko is able to relax. Teppei starts working there as a part-timer. Yuko is embarrassed and can't speak to him. That night, she masturbates for the first time while thinking of Teppei. One day, Yuko's older sister Yayoi comes to visit her. Yayoi is on honeymoon with her husband Yoji, who is also a train enthusiast. Yuko tells Yayoi about her unrequited love and is advised to pour all her energy into expressing her feelings...
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
