Japan / 2011 / 96 min.

[Introduction]
Protagonist Katsutoshi leaves town after a fight at work, and seeks refuge at a salon run by Seikichi, his Tokyo-based old friend, called "Tokyo Playboy Club." Meanwhile Eriko, the girlfriend of a waiter at the salon, finds herself forced to work there as a hostess after he gets into a bit of trouble. Then one day Katsutoshi brawls with a lowly neighborhood gangster, beating him to a pulp. The incident causes him, Seikichi, and Eriko to become embroiled in an even graver situation.... OKUDA Yosuke, director of the self-made "Hot as Hell: The Deadbeat March" which won considerable acclaim at home and abroad, makes his commercial filmmaking debut. Still only 24 years old, he has put together an impressive cast featuring OMORI Nao, MITSUISHI Ken, and USUDA Asami to create a unique and powerful ensemble piece. In particular, the force of its depictions of suddenly erupting violence amid amusing developments is evidence of this young filmmaker's talent. The beautiful scene toward the film's end between Katsutoshi and Eriko in a car leaves an indelible impression.
