Nippon Visions   ½ 

The Shinjuku 2-chome neighborhood is considered to be “the gay center of Asia“. Here you can find the highest density of establishments catering to homosexual customers in the world, a place where many young boys sell their bodies. Each of them has his own story. This relentlessly honest documentary will give you an unadorned glimpse into the daily lives of these male workers in the Japanese sex trade.
