Sakurai Tomo-san appears in the role as Saki-chan, a girl injured in a motorcycle accident with her boyfriend, Ken. They both end up in a near-death experience in a 1920's American-style nightclub called "Jitterbug", where the singers and musicians are similarly situated (not yet called to the heavens).
