		It looks great, in terms of a novelist's need for props, but it may not actually be that next-generation in terms of what I'm used to back home.
		Tokyo has been my handiest prop shop for as long as I've been writing: sheer eye candy.
		I last came here right on the cusp of that era, just before the downturn, when her kind were legion.

	My Own Private Tokyo
		I wish I had a thousand-yen note for every journalist who, over the past decade, has asked me whether Japan is still as futurologically sexy as it seemed to be in the '80s.
		This ghost of the Bubble, this reminder of Tokyo from when it was the lodestar for every hustler on the face of the planet, strolls on and then ducks into a doorway near the Sugar Heel Bondage Bar.
		The world's second-richest economy, after nearly a decade of stagflation (the century's final kick), still looks like the world's richest place, but energies have shifted, global lea lines of money and hustle have invisibly realigned, yet it feels to me as though all that crazy momentum has finally arrived.

	Midnight Eye review: Tokyo Decadence (1991)
		For those wishing to see scenes of decadence in Tokyo, the film certainly delivers.
		Aside from the people she interacts with, few others are seen, and those she meets are almost without exception out to satisfy their own selfish desires.
		As a result, Tokyo Decadence can hardly be called erotic.

	EI > DVD > Tokyo Decadence (1993)
		Additionally, there appears to be a film stock change in the middle of the movie, which is completely noticeable and totally disrupts an already suspect film.
		I also find it remarkable that the same man who is responsible for the score in The Last Emperor, Ryuichi Sakamoto, is also responsible for the childish and oafish score accompanying Tokyo Decadence.
		Tokyo Decadence began as a tale of eroticism as we are given an inside look at the life of an S&M prostitute.

	Tokyo Decadence Movie Review
		Welcome to the world of TOKYO DECADENCE, where prostitution is a dangerous and ugly profession, not the thing of romance it has been portrayed as in Hollywood's sanitized PRETTY WOMAN.
		TOKYO DECADENCE is graphic but not gratuitous, and I can't go into details about some of the humiliation that Ai is put through without proof that the reader of this review is over eighteen.
		TOKYO DECADENCE is so bleak that without the inclusion of a brief scene designed primarily for comic relief, this would have been as close to unbearable a movie as I have ever seen.

	Tokyo Decadence
		Tokyo è uno di quei giochi per grandi comitive che vanno nei pub, dove si finisce sempre che si parla con le persone vicine e si ignorano quelle all'altra estremità del tavolo.
		Ci sono delle eccezioni: il punteggio più alto in assoluto è Tokyo (tre- uno), quello più basso in assoluto è Pechino (due- uno).
		Tokyo è un giochino semplice, immediato e divertente, in cui a prevalere è chi ha i nervi più saldi.

	TOKYO DECADENCE
		When not fending off the impending dangers of the Yakuza or the pain-obsessed fetishes of some of her clients, she finds her time empty, capabale of being filled only with the temporary void of her work.
		The DVD of Tokyo Decadence replicates the same transfer used for the VHS and laserdisc releases but features the added bonus of the alternate English dubbed track in addition to the usual mono Japanese (with yellow, burned-in English subtitles).
		Rough, unsettling, and often moving despite the simplicity of its heroine, Tokyo Decadence is guaranteed to take willing viewers on a wild ride indeed.

		Oh, and the album I claimed to have in the first post, Tokyo Decadence, is really weird - some song titles on it are the same as titles on the actual proper album, Decadence, but are completely different e.g.
		Soldi Gold Telephone off "Tokyo Decadence" is some weird hip-hoppy song, whereas the REAL song called SGT is completely different (and the same song itself has a different song title, something like Young Hollywood, on "Tokyo Decadence").
		Yatesy: I have however burned both decadence and Tokyo Decadence on CD's and I don't mind ripping them again and uploading some tracks for you, but for download, I recommend At The Speed of a Yellow Bullet, The Razor, Please Please Please and King Caesar.

		All of these gallery spaces came to an end last November, as a Tokyo land developer had bought the piece of land on which the Sagacho Food stood with a plan to demolish the building and construct an apartment complex there.

	DVD Talk Review: Tokyo Decadence
		That's pretty much the set-up, plus Ai buys an expensive ring because of a superstitious warning from a fortune teller and she gets messed up on drugs supplied to her by Mistress Saki and tries to track down a man she had an affair with.
		Tokyo Decadence (1992) is based on the novel Topaz by the critically praised author Ryu Murakami, who also served as the films director.
		Still, Decadence is probably too vulgar and shallow for the cerebral art house crowd and too plodding, unsexy, and not graphic enough for S&M freaks.

		A bizarre, glossy traipse through a series of sordid, drug-fuelled encounters in the over-rich Tokyo underworld.
		Tokyo Decadence follows Ai (Masahiko Shimada) - a baby-faced call girl specialising in bondage - as she plies her trade through the hotel rooms and apartments of wealthy sex-crazed businessmen and criminals.
		Ai is shown to be desperate for happiness; lonely and confused, eventually fixating on a famous 'boyfriend' - a trick who once treated her kindly.

		Tokyo Decadence (Topâzu) is a 1991 Japanese film.
		The fourth feature film written and directed by the Japanese novelist Ryu Murakami (Coin Locker Babies) revels in S&M episodes that seem to owe less to the Japanese tradition of the "pink film" than to such Euro art-bondage movies as La Maîtresse (France, 1976) and A Woman in Flames (West Germany, 1983).

	BBC - Films - review - Tokyo Decadence (Topâzu)
		Almost entirely free of context or comment, it’s like watching a grim, sordid and in fact rather dull porno flick, where the director documents the sexual demands of a number of ‘imaginative’ businessmen and then — unlike the prostitute herself — does nothing with them.
		There are many good films about decadence (after all a natural source of drama), but this is an example which is limp throughout.
		His way of pulling "Tokyo Decadence" out of its one-dimensional groove should have been to fatten up the central character, the young prostitute, who simply has to look anxious, forlorn, depressed or lost.
