NHDTA-112 - Saving the high schooler from the strip club!

I highly recommend the scene that starts around the 96-minute mark. I'd rate the other scenes about 4 stars, but I gave it 5 stars because of that one specific scene. The direction is just excellent overall. It feels different from works that just go through the motions of the act, and I think that quality really shines through here.

The notable thing about this work is that two of the three performers were active (now retired) dancers at the time, and you get to see their dance show. Minami Aoi, who appears first, and Fuuka Minase (Miina Kotaki), who appears last, were dancers with Rock-za at the time and show off their professional skills without holding back. Minami Aoi's sharp dancing and solid bed scenes are a must-see (it's nostalgic, actually). The second girl, Natsu Suzuki, feels like a regular high school girl who was ordered to "strip and dance" on stage; while it might be faithful to the setting, it was too painful to watch. By the way, the theater featured is the Shibuya Dotonbori Theater (Dogeki), located just off Dogenzaka. As shown in the film, the stage (the turntable at the end of the runway) lights up and rises, making it easy to see even from the back. Since the two dancers mentioned above were with Rock-za, they don't usually perform at Dogeki, making this a very rare scene. It's a shame the dance show is so short. Also, one of the performers (Fu-chan) mentioned that the stage was "hot." That's because of the intense lights shining from below. Regular dancers are only there for 2-3 minutes, so they don't mind, but after being there for over 10 minutes, three times, it's no wonder she felt it.

It was annoying to watch the unnecessary, unpleasant acting of an old guy who comes to a sex worker, lectures her saying, 'You shouldn't be doing this, your parents would cry,' and then proceeds to do it anyway. That guy was just irritating every step of the way. The girls were all cute and great. Especially the third one, Fuuka Minase. She has a cute voice, and I liked her Mickey Mouse-style hairstyle this time (lol).
