## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Even a low-budget yakuza musical couldn’t resist star-crossed revenge and love at first sight.

Desperate to repay a debt, shambolic teen Makoto tumbles into Tokyo’s red-light romance, colliding with the embarrassing purity of Ai and the stares of every interested party.

At least the karaoke scenes forgot to judge the viewer.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, playful, unhinged
