Scenes
Nejiko (Keiko Sakurai) needs to pee at the start of the film, but can't use the public bathroom because workers are painting the walls.
Nejiko is kidnapped by gangsters. She says she needs to pee and will do it right in front of them in her skirt since she is not wearing panties, but they lead her to an abandoned area and let her squat there. No stream is seen or heard.
Later she is shown running to a different abandoned area, and says she is going to the bathroom but nothing else is shown.
After escaping the gangsters she spends the night on the streets of the city. The next morning she thinks to herself that she hasn't gone to the bathroom since last night, so she squats on the street. A puddle is visible but nothing more.
