Vermilion Pleasure Night (バミリオン・プレジャー・ナイト, Bamirion Purejā Naito^?), or VPN was a Japanese late-night variety and comedy skit TV show.

[edit] Recurring skits

The Fuccon Family (フッコン・ファミリー, Fukkon Famirii^?), a recurring skit from the show, was eventually spun off into its own show called Oh! Mikey.

"Cathy's House", a skit featured on the show, involving four dolls in a colourful dollhouse.

"Resident Starship" is about an apartment complex style starship, complete with crazy residents.

"Midnight Cooking" parodies cooking shows, set apart by random singing and self inflicted torture.

[edit] DVD release

5 compilation DVDs of skits from Vermilion Pleasure Night were released in Japan, as well as a repackaged feature-length compilation titled "THE COLOR OF LIFE", which recycled much of the same content though also contained some bonus material as an incentive for collectors.

The US releases (published by ADV Films) paired up these DVDs into 3 volumes:

Vermilion Pleasure Night Vol.1: OpticErotica ("GOLD" + Japan volume 2)
Vermilion Pleasure Night Vol.2: VoxStimuli (Japan volumes 3 & 4)
Vermilion Pleasure Night Vol.3: Créme de la Créme (Japan volume 5 + "THE COLOR OF LIFE")

[edit] CD soundtrack release

"RISE - Vermilion Pleasure Night", the official soundtrack CD containing full versions of another of the show's theme songs as well as audio versions of some of the recurring skits, was released on April 18, 2001 on the Zetima label. The limited-edition first pressing came accompanied with a photobook.
