The "Nighttime Youth Series" vividly depicts the lives of men and women consumed by lust and desire in the nighttime entertainment districts of a neon-lit metropolis. The first installment, "The Pimp," portrays the life of a yakuza who makes a living as a pimp, and Tatsuo Umemiya's portrayal of a womanizer who can manipulate women at will was a perfect fit and garnered much attention.
