This work is a human drama depicting the comeback of a man who once made a name for himself as the number one host in Kabukicho, "Toya Hikoboshi," but disappeared from the public stage after the death of his wife. The surgery cost needed to save his beloved daughter's life is "30 million." The time limit is only one month. Pushed to the brink of despair, the man discards his past glory and, despite his pride being torn to shreds, takes on a "serious" battle in the nightlife world once again. With the fast pace unique to 3-minute short drama episodes, it densely portrays a thrilling sales battle and the heartbreaking bond between father and daughter.
■ Return of the Legend and the Rise of a New Era. Capable and Emerging Actors Spark in the Night World
The protagonist Junya Yoshida, who is the former legendary host "Toya Hikoboshi," is played by Keisuke Koide, who has starred in numerous hit works and shown a unique presence in movies like "Pacchigi!" and dramas like "ROOKIES" and "JIN." To save his daughter's life, he returns to the host world after a blank of several years. Koide's delicate yet powerful acting realistically embodies the conflict of a man torn between past glory, current poverty, and unconditional love for his daughter.
Fresh talent has gathered for the active, top-selling hosts who stand in Junya's way.
Masaki Nakao, who gained overwhelming support in popular works such as starring in "Uchu Sentai Kyuranger" and stage plays like "Touken Ranbu" and "NARUTO," plays Zeus Tenku, the leading figure among the young hosts. With his overwhelming aura and arrogance, he passionately plays the strongest rival who ridicules the returning Junya as a "relic of the past." Furthermore, Dai Goto, who is steadily building his skills with appearances in "Kamen Rider Geats" and popular stage plays, is cast as Kagura, and promising new star Tatsuki Odaka plays Yuhi. They brilliantly portray the young hosts who toy with Junya while harboring their own ulterior motives.
Please look forward to the breathtaking sales battle where talented actors clash, and the bare human drama hidden behind it.
■ Synopsis
Once a legendary number one host who made his name known throughout Kabukicho, "Toya Hikoboshi." On the night he lost his beloved wife, he threw everything away and disappeared from the night world.
Seven years have passed since then. Toya tightly held the small hand of his daughter, Akane, who was sleeping in a hospital bed. He had been fired from his job, and his savings had run out. However, to keep his beloved daughter alive, he must raise the surgery fee of "30 million yen" within one month.
As he was in despair, his old friend Mikado Tennoji appeared and invited him back into the host world. To save his daughter, Toya decides to return, but the young, active hosts do not believe he is a 'legend,' but instead mock and ridicule him.
Can the legendary host really earn 30 million yen in just one month?
