《If this world is a stage, where exactly is the backstage》E1

Episode 1

The autumn of Showa 59 (1984).Mitsunari Kube, a new director who admires Yukio Ninagawa, is in trouble.

Episode 1

He was kicked out of the troupe because of his overbearing behavior.Wandering aimlessly with nowhere to go, I eventually stumbled into a suspicious arcade.It was a shopping street lined with neon houses, called “Hachifenzaka”.Because it is only an 8-minute walk from Shibuya Station, it is called Hachifenzaka.

And on that arcade, there is this sentence engraved:

“Pray speak what has happened”.

Under the guidance of the old woman at the case office, Kube opened the door of the WS Theater.

However, it was a place with a very high threshold for him, who was not used to wandering around the flower street - (striptease) theater.

The story revolves around the pure wish of a young man who loves drama. Sometimes it depicts the entanglements of a family, and sometimes it interweaves between comedy and tragedy.

The stupid but lovely people living in the small world of Yafenzaka are gradually disturbed by the arrival of this young man...
