Synopsis:

Shinjuku Boys is a documentary about the complexity of female sexuality in Japan today. The "hosts" of the New Marilyn Club in Tokyo are women cross-dressing as men, whilst the clientele is almost exclusively heterosexual women who have become disappointed with born men. The protagonists are Tatsu, Gaish and Kazuki, three annabe who work as hosts at the New Marilyn Club. Annabe are women who live as men and have girlfriends, although they do not usually identify themselves as lesbians. Tatsu lives with his girlfriend, Tomoe. Gaish is the tough-talking heartbreaker type who has a string of girlfriends. Kazuki lives with Kumi, a male transsexual and semi-famous nightclub dancer in Tokyo. Tatsu, Gaish and Kazuki talk frankly to the camera, revealing their own extraordinary stories as well as their views about women, sex, transvestitism and lesbianism.
