Modern aspect of life in Japan is by no means carefree. Strip shows, pin-ball, workers' demonstrations in protest against the mass discharge or demanding higher wages, disabled ex-soldiers who are begging for monetary contributions on the streets or in the trains, teenagers mad about jazz, children awaiting the repatriation of their fathers from Siberia.... these comprise the current social problems.

But all these are not the true phases of present-day Japan. We should have hope that a bright future is in the offing. From this point of view, the writer-director produced this presentation.
