The Japanese Wife Next Door Extra Value Pack

In Part 1, the protagonist chooses the beautiful girl, played by sexy bombshell Reiko Yamaguchi. However, upon marrying her, he finds out that she is a secret nymphomaniac. As a result of too much sex, he becomes impotent. To satiate her lust, the nympho ends up seducing the rest of his family! In addition to being about sex and comedy there is some hint of a message coming from director, Mr. Pink. As OneMetal.com says, "This is a rare Pink film that manages to balance the satire and the sex."

In Part 2, the protagonist chooses the rich girl. This time, the man finds out her family is a bunch of sado-masochistic sociopaths! Part 2 fascinates the audience further with a slightly darker mood. TheDigitalFix.com states, "The follow-up retains the same levels of oddball activity present in Ikejima’s first tale, but it gradually descends into far blacker territory with its shades of Takashi Miike and Kim Ji-wun." And for fans of Reiko, she reprises her role as the beautiful one again.

What's in the extras? The Japanese Wife Next Door series really shines in the special features. It comes with full-length video commentaries with cast and crew, one-on-one interviews with the director and stars (including Reiko Yamaguchi), and even an interview with the composer! DVD Maniacs summarizes the interview with Yamaguchi as follows: "[Yamaguchi] discusses her transition from a whorehouse employee to a pink eiga actress to a Japanese AV star and again spends a fair bit of time talking about her boobs. Honestly, once you get a look at them you can't really blame her."
