Yumi worked at a small snack bar called Bacchus, tucked away in a corner of the city. Before long, she had gathered her own entourage—three men named Takeshi, Ken, and Toru. Convinced that the true essence of youth lay in taking risks, Yumi’s boyfriend, Takeshi, dreamed of taking the helm of a yacht and sailing off to unknown lands. Ken, a factory worker from a small-town workshop, fantasized about creating a guerrilla radio station that played nothing but the new rock sounds—the shared language of youth. Meanwhile, Toru, a college student who proudly styled himself as a revolutionary. The trio began saving money as if to make their dreams tangible. They entered an endurance contest but they were eliminated. With a goal of raising 3 million yen by the following summer, their prospects looked bleak. In the days that followed, each arrived at the same conclusion: they could exploit Yumi’s exceptional beauty and striking sexy physique by launching an alluring honey-trap scheme.
