"Why would a Tokyo University graduate want
to work in a bathhouse ?"
Kazuhiko is 30 years old and still lives with his parents
and asks himself that question.
Somehow he only has worked part time jobs and he's happy to get a low
payed job
at Mr. Azuma's (Makoto Haneda) Bath house. He's considered a loser in
japanese
society i guess.
But, a girl, Yuri (Mabuki Yoshida) frequents the bathhouse and she and
Kazuhiko
(Yoji Minagawa) went to the same school and she becomes his girlfriend.
At the bathhouse Kazuhiko has to work with blonde haired
Matsumoto (Yoshitomo
Isozaki) and scary Kodera (Yasuyuki Hamaya). Soon he finds out that
Matsumoto
and Kodera works the night shift with killing people and then dispose
of their
bodies in the bathhouse. Mr. Azuma has a debt to the Yakuza and has
to comply.
Everyone, including the yakuza killers, asks themselves "Why would
a Tokyo
University graduate want to work in a bathhouse ?"
