Tokyo Decadence follows a prostitute on her way through the six gates of perversion forced upon her as her work demands. One of the imperatives of the trade is to never leave the client, something which makes her stay put in some pretty strange situations.
Miho Nikaido does a good job in her role and shows a great range from subservient prostitute to desperate woman in search for love.
The funniest part is when excellent whiskey-folk-punk musician Kan Mikami plays the bourgeois necrophiliac in search for a classic rape case where a girl got murdered.
This is most likely Murakami Ryu's best work and is a excellent commentary to Japanese bubble-economy moral decay.
