Roman Porno
Pink film (ピンク映画 Pinku eiga or Pink eiga^?) is a style of Japanese softcore pornographic theatrical film. Films of this genre first appeared in the early 1960s, and dominated the Japanese domestic cinema from the mid-1960s through the mid-1980s.^[1][2] In the 1960s, the pink films were largely the product of small, independent studios. In the 1970s, some of Japan's major studios, facing the loss of their theatrical audience, took over the pink film. With their access to higher production-values and talent, some of these films became critical and popular successes.^[3] Though the appearance of the AV (adult video) took away most of the pink film audience in the 1980s, films in this genre are still being produced.
