The tack taken in his little-seen dramatisation of the true events leading up to the arrest of Norio Nagayama, the youth dubbed by the media the "Serial Gun Killer", thus comes as little surprise. Perpetrator of four seemingly motiveless slayings conducted between October 11th and November 5th, 1968, in the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakodate, and Nagoya using a pistol stolen from the Yokosuka U.S. naval base, Nagayama’s case fuelled a media frenzy in a Japan, drawing attention to the miserable lot of an underclass left behind during a period of unprecedented economic expansion. Sentenced to death, during his incarceration Nagayama wrote several award-winning books before being hanged in 1997, including the autobiographical Tears of Ignorance, published a year after the release of Shindo’s film.

Live Today, Die Tomorrow (the Japanese title translates as ‘Naked 19 Year Old’) occasionally errs from the story that subsequently emerged through Nagayama’s writings, though its major deviations, which include renaming the characters (the killer becomes Michio Yamada) and an additional murder, are mainly ones of dramatic license, with a significant focus on the back story of Michio’s mother Také, played sympathetically by Shindo’s wife and regular collaborator Nobuko Otowa.

It is suggested that Michio’s crimes are borne out of a mixture of boredom, frustration and alienation: shipped down to Tokyo as part of a Shudan Shushoku group (a government project that took place roughly between the years 1955-65 in which young people between 15-24 who were not university material were recruited from the provinces en masse to work in lowly jobs), he leaves his job when a colleague is sacked for arguing with a customer, telling his co-workers he is heading for a new life in Hawaii, though is caught attempting to stowaway on a ship. His first murder is committed after a security guard attempts to move him on as he stands outside a party going on at a plush Western-style hotel, the kind of aspirational luxury that, no matter how hard he works, he’ll never be able to partake in. Throughout, the capital’s slick facade is contrasted with images of extreme rural poverty. The gang rape of Michio’s sister by her elder brother’s classmates is presented, as in Koji Wakamatsu‘s Chronicle of an Affair (1965), as symptomatic of the provincial claustrophobia of their wintry northern hometown, while echoes of Tetsuji Takechi‘s Black Snow (1965) reside in the depiction of the American military base viewed through alienated eyes from the wrong side of a boundary fence.
