カリブ・愛のシンフォニー
"Karibu Ai no Symphony"

I am a huge collector of everything Seiko. Movies and dramas being no exception. Yesterday I watched a movie from 1985 again. The interesting part of it is that it also is starring Masaki Kanda. He was married to Seiko for 12 years and they have a daughter together. This movie is probably a huge factor to how they met and started going out together.

Filming started on 1984/11/01, hence the "Pink no Mozart and "Heart no Earring" Seiko look. Locations included Japan, Mexico and Caribbean. Made some caps (in spoiler in case you do not wanna see):

Spoiler:



There is some intense kissing going on. It would be too much for AHS standards so I avoided to make captures of that scene. Surprised me the first time I watched the movie, after all she was such a famous idol. It's a movie but idols usually required to have this perfect, innocent and pure image.
