Program Note

Leaving his hometown for Tokyo to attend University, everything around the protagonist feels strange. Without his friends or a girlfriend, he only gets phone calls from mom telling him to try to win a scholarship. At his part time job, he and his colleagues are treated like animals, and he seems to have no plans to resist this. Returning home tired, he looks up at Tokyo Tower in vain. One day, in a fit of anger and tells a professor how horrifyingly tedious her lecture is. This incident makes him quite famous among some rebellious students on the campus. He is approached by a senior guy who has plenty of money and power, which made him the leader of a group called ‘Hide and Seek’. While he finds they are planning to destroy Tokyo, he becomes attracted to a senior girl, who has beautiful eyes and tells to him that she is pleased to have found him because she sees that he has not given anything up yet. Can they meet a breakthrough? What matters now to the youth is GIVING UP. (Creta D. KIM)
