One of my all time favourite Roman Porno films, Kichitaro Negishi and Haruhiko Arai's Rape Ceremony (暴行儀å¼) (1980) has finally been remastered! This was on TV on Wowow Cinema a few days ago. A good friend of mine helped me out since I didn't have access to that channel!

Unfortunately this is the R15-version prepared for TV. Most Japanese TV channels have an R-15 policy, so they won't show any R18 content on TV. Nikkatsu is hence preparing censored R15 versions of their Roman Porno films for TV (though I have some doubts about the consistency since I've never been able to spot any censorship in the R15 Version of Circuit of Sadness).

Just by quick look, this scene seems to be the only one that's been censored for the R15 version. There are TWO other scenes with similar censorship, but that was already in the R18-version and almost certainly in the theatrical prints (I've seen one, but can't remember such detail) and original negative.

Let's hope the R18+ version will be released on BD to accompany Crazed Fruit (From Orion's Testimony: Formula for Murder would also be most welcome).
