Tetsuko Kuroyanagi never stops moving or talking. She is the star of three hit shows on three separate networks; before the day is over she will discuss rape with a young feminist author on one show, play a piano duet of Lady of Spain on another and rehearse a review of the week's Top Ten songs for a third.

The costumes contribute to the quality in the level of acting with each actor wearing the same sexless outfit of lavender courderoy. Matching the clever costumes are the creative sets which use different props like toilet seats as chairs and chalkboards as windows using the chalk to draw the blinds...
