Anecdotes

Bu Su , stylized in promotional materials as BU・SU, is a 1987 Japanese drama film directed by Jun Ichikawa. It was Ichikawa's feature film debut.

Production

Bu Su was conceived as a vehicle for Yasuko Tomita, an idol who was at the peak of her popularity in the late 1980s. She had previously given an award-winning performance in Aiko 16 sai (1983), and had also starred in the Nobuhiko Obayashi films Lonely Heart and Four Sisters, both in 1985.

The film's title is pejorative slang referring to women who are not considered attractive. It can also refer to "emotional ugliness" and isolation.

Frequent Ichikawa collaborator Bun Itakura composed the film's score, while musician Yuko Hara performed the film's theme song, "Ajisai no Uta" (あじさいのうた, Hydrangea Song).
