[Machine Translation] The 8th installment of the popular UPLINK New Directors Series, featuring DVD adaptations of early works by up-and-coming directors! Rikiya Imaizumi, an up-and-coming director, is about to release "Tama no Eiga", a documentary about the legendary band "Tama", as a New Year's movie in 2011. From the short films Imaizumi made when he was an independent filmmaker and released to great acclaim at Shimokitazawa Tollywood, he has selected the best of his work and packaged them into a single DVD. A "no-good love film" in which a no-good man and a no-good woman engage in a painful love affair. Even if you laugh at the characters at first, you will soon find it hard to believe that they are anyone else's problem. [Worst" : Ami is happily married to her boyfriend when she receives an envelope from a former stalker. Not daring to look at the DVD, Ami calls her sister and asks her to check the contents for her. The DVD contains a startling image. (The 10th TAMA NEW WAVE GRAND PRIX) "Slightly Warm (Nuruma)" : Ryosuke is in a relationship with two women, Asako and Machiko. One day, he is suddenly asked to break up with Asako, even though Machiko is convinced that Ryosuke is two-timing her. Which woman will Ryosuke, a man who cannot make up his mind, choose?
