Actress Spotlight: Yumika Hayashi

Yumika Hayashi is a Pink film legend, and her legacy has only grown since her tragic and mysterious death a day before her 35th birthday.  The Tokyo Reporter comments "On the morning of June 28, 2005, the 34-year-old’s body was discovered by her mother and former boyfriend in the bed of her Tokyo apartment. An autopsy determined that she had died on June 26, the day before her birthday.

'Her body was found lying face-down and attired in a gown,' read a statement from her family to the press on July 3. 'Her face was that of a person who died peacefully.'

Police found no evidence of a struggle or foul play, and the autopsy did not determine a cause of death. The consequences of a session of binge-drinking the evening before was later determined to have been the source of her untimely passing.

Hayashi worked in the adult-entertainment business before making her porn debut in 1989. At that time, it was typical for actresses who separated themselves from the mainstream to perform their roles in ways that were considered less than authentic. Hayashi, however, chose to engage in “the real thing” — and her rise to the top was swift."

Yumika stars in many of our Pink films, including Silence of the Sushi Rolls, Sexy SWAT Team, and Sweet as a Peach.  Peach is the last film she was in before her untimely death.  In fact, she won a posthumous award for her work in the film, and received a standing ovation when her name came on screen.  She was admired and accepted as a key part of the Pink Film community, and her memory lives on through her work in cinema.

Sweet as a Peach: Japan's intense fruit culture

Pink Films draw their influence from many aspects of Japanese culture.  The Japanese obsession with fruit is a big part of every day life.  Fruit and other produce in Japan are very pricy, but are held to some of the highest standards in the world.  Non-perfect pieces are usually chucked into the garbage, with presentation being a key component.  Becky Smith elaborates on the importance played on fresh produce in this article from the Independent in 2014:

It's not uncommon to give gifts of fruit in Japan; unlike in the UK, fruit is considered a luxury product, and features heavily in Japan's gift-giving culture, along with other gourmet foodstuffs including frozen steaks, whisky and black tea.

Gifts are presented not only on special occasions, but as part of a reciprocal tradition to show appreciation, extend courtesy and build relationships. Rarely would anyone turn up at a friend's house empty-handed, and the exchange is an intrinsic part of business relationships. - Becky Smith, The Independent

Part of this fruit culture is getting the word out and selling to consumers, which is carried out in a particularly unique way.  Sweet as a Peach centers around this world, following three beautiful ladies vying for a position in the International Fruit Competition.  In this sort of pageant like tilt, Miki, Sakie and Akemi don light pink pant suits, complete with giant sashes that read "MISS PEACH."  We see them go out into public squares, passing fresh peaches out and praising their juiciness.  In the gif above, the promiscuous Sakie even comes up with her own peachy dance to attract more interest.  The competition isn't just between the peaches, however, there are other fruit girls that would do anything to sabotage each other.




Sweet as a Peach overall is one of the more funny and fluffy Pink film out there, but it does have its dramatic side.  These chicks are ruthless, and would do anything for the sake of victory, including exposing deep dark secrets that would be devastating if found out.  They sleep around, scheme, and take no prisoners.  The film is very funny and sweet, and an interesting look at a part of Japanese culture that not too many people are aware of....FRUIT!!
