Meiko Kaji (梶芽衣子) and Hideaki Nitani (二谷英明) posing for Nikkatsu’s 1969 calendar.

I didn't win the auction for it, so this is as good as we're getting for now.

Tôkyô nagaremono (Tokyo Drifter, 1966)

"Otsuka! You call yourself a yakuza?"

"Money and power rule now. Honour means nothing!"

Nikkatsu‚ frustrated by the director's attempts #to inject avant garde visuals into their straight genre pieces‚ slashed his budget and his schedule and basically said make a yakuza film #and don't get weird. in response he delivered his most visually experimental piece to date‚ a pop art kaleidoscope take on the gangster #ballad which also critiques the lack of reward that comes from loyalty to a corporate system (i wonder what that could be about Seijun..) #and also manages to parody american western cinema and the burgeoning spy film boom. it isn't quite perfect (i get what the bar room brawl #scene is doing as pastiche‚ but it's still too long and too messy) but as a paring down of the themes of yakuza cinema (and then inverting #those themes‚ so that loyalty and honour become a weakness) mixed with the sheer joyful spectacle of the film is nothing short of joy #Watari and Matsubara would be reunited for the (excellent) Outlaw Gangster series‚ which plays these same tropes deadly straight

Tomoko Hamakawa and Tamio Kawaji in Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki, 1966) Cast: Tetsuya Watari, Chieko Matsubara, Tamio Kawaji, Ryuji Kita, Hideaki Nitani, Eiji Go, Tomoko Hamakawa, Tsuyoshi Yoshida, Isao Tamagawa, Eimei Esumi. Screenplay: Yasunori Kawauchi. Cinematography: Shigeyoshi Mine. Production design: Takeo Kimura. Film editing: Shinya Inoue. Music: Hajime Kaburagi. Imagine if The Godfather had been made in the mid-1960s with someone like Frankie Avalon as Michael Corleone, interpolated pop songs ("An Offer He Can't Refuse," perhaps?), and sets in comic book colors that look like they were designed for a Freed Unit musical at MGM in the 1950s. Then you have something like Tokyo Drifter, a jaw-dropping Japanese gangster movie directed by the irrepressible Seijun Suzuki. There's no summarizing a plot that has so many wild excursions, but it basically follows the attempts of a young hitman who has his yakuza boss's approval to go straight -- or so he thinks, until the boss changes his mind. None of this suggests where the movie's going to go, including the shootout between Tetsuya (Tetsuya Watari) and his almost Doppelgänger nemesis Tatsuzo (Tamio Kawaji) on the railroad tracks with an approaching train in a snowstorm. Or the free-for-all fistfight in a bar designed to look like a saloon set for an American Western, during which the bar is almost completely demolished. For most of the film, including the train track shootout, Tetsuya wears a robin's egg blue suit with white shoes, though he later changes into other pastels. Those who find Tokyo Drifter a bit much (as the studio that employed Suzuki did) dismiss it as style over substance, but it's undeniably fascinating.
