Tokyo Tower--it was the first thing that caught the young man's eyes when he came to Tokyo, the brightly-lit big city. Everything looks big, crowded and chaotic to him who was raised single-handedly by his mother in a rural town. Torn between loves and yarning to be independent, he chooses to live in this city where he's going to experience love, insecurity, desperation, and hope.
