Synopsis
The play begins with two characters engaged in enigmatic dialogues.
Takeya and
Kaito meet at the base of Tokyo Tower, sharing updates about their lives. Inspired, they decide to ascend the tower, reaching the top deck just as a J-Alert emergency signal sounds.
In the chaos of people evacuating, Takeya faces a dilemma where he contemplates sacrificing himself to aid Kaito. In this intense moment, essential truths hidden until now spill forth, revealing crucial aspects of their identities. The mystery of their relationship unfolds as the audience is left questioning: what is the real connection between these two?
Infused with elements of stand-up comedy and deep themes of male friendship and the fleeting nature of chasing dreams, this play artfully interlinks humorous exchanges with poignant reflections, especially within the introductory dialogues between the two characters.
