[Machine Translation] [Kadokawa Cinema Collection December 2017: Actress Special 2] Love, vanity, or fame? Two women who compete fiercely, putting their bodies on the line in golden garments! A literary masterpiece about two women who put their bodies on the line for their men and their lives on the line for their dancing fans! --In 1942, at a southern air force base. During an air raid, in the midst of an axis-shaking blast, Shumi, a military dancer, and Lieutenant Wakabayashi, an officer in charge of consolation dances, are united in an air-raid shelter deep in the jungle. In 1948, Shumi returned to the desolate, burnt ruins of Tokyo and apprenticed herself to Komura Shino, the head of the Komura school. Six years later, Shino's desire to dance with the Kabuki actor Nakamura Jujiro was the catalyst for Shumi's own breakthrough. She met Jujiro at the Shuzenji hot springs and persuaded him to join her in the dance. At the result of the performance, Shino, the head of the school, was criticized as old and ugly, while Shumi was praised for her freshness and vigor. Shumi eventually seduced Shino's patron, Inokura, and founded the Kikuin School with his backing. When Akemi stopped to look at one of the wreaths presented at the inauguration of the dance institute, she was upset. There was Wakabayashi's name on it.
