The spotlight is on Kisaragi Reina. Fulfilling her childhood dream, she makes her idol debut. However, she has lofty career aspirations, and her road to success is a difficult one. She is relatively unknown in the industry, and her days of relative obscurity and little work continue. She can't tell what separates her from her talent agency's more successful idols. She brings the matter up directly with her producer. Reina tries not to show her anger and impatience, and her producer, though reluctant to put in the effort, tells her, "I'll get you a connection. The rest is up to you." Reina is suspicious of his dismissive tone, but she meets with a man who is a high-ranking executive in the industry. An unmistakably sexy outfit, people undressing her with their eyes... What does an idol need to do to really make it in the industry? She has the determination to devote all of herself to her work and the conviction to walk the path of an "idol".

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.
