Director Shin'ya Yamamoto filmed Memoirs of Modern Love: Curious Age for Mamoru Watanabe's Watanabe Pro and it was released theatrically in Japan by Tōkyō Kōei in 1967. Yamamoto and star Naomi Tani worked together in other early pink films such as (also 1967) and (1968). They both later worked in Nikkatsu's Roman Porno films, but they did not work together in that series. In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films, Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser give Memoirs of Modern Love: Curious Age a rating of two-and-a-half out of four stars. They note that the plotline is "thin and ludicrous", and only an excuse for Tani to show her "primo body". ==Bibliography==
