"nudity is simply not the red flag in Japan that it is here in the United States. Essentially, the US public is still prudish about naked bodies, especially if you can see any detail, and full frontal nudity will get a film rated NC-17. In Japan, nudity is a part of life and does not have much stigma attached to it."
