Synopsis

8:20 A.M. Three separate groping incidents occur within the train which is packed to 170%. Kimiko, a librarian, has lived her life ignored by the people around her. Even if it means she’s getting groped, she feels happy because that means at least someone wants her. One day, Kimiko’s affair with her boss at the library is discovered by his wife. As she gets on the train in desperation, she feels someone touching her butt. Bank teller Asami is a woman of high expectations – the things she wears, the men she dates must all be top notch. However at 30 she is still single. Desperate to find someone in a hurry, she meets Nozaki, a man who owns a company in Los Angeles. She accepts his proposal, however… Policeman Ryoko Mamiya is pursuing a habitual groper nicknamed “Scorpion.” Ryoko is passionate about protecting women from despicable criminals like the Scorpion, but one day, she gets groped by the Scorpion herself…

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
