　Story
　Rei Hayakawa, a freelance writer, has the ability to hear voices
　within her own head. Voices like that of her mother's scolding,
　school friends' gossip and also the voice of her true feelings
　left unexpressed. But the voices cause her pain: they worry her,
　deplete her sleep, drive her to drink and cause eating disorders
　like bulimia and anorexia. One night in a convenience store,
　with the voices ever present in her head, she meets a truck driver.
　"I want to touch him...". She embarks on a journey with him,
　her body yielding to the vibrations of his truck, releasing her
　from the reliance on the voices in her head.

Story
Yuko is 35 years old, single, out of work, and on medication from her psychiatrist to combat her manic depression. Living in Kamata Town (“not an ounce of chic”, according to her web page) Yuko divides her time between a variety of men friends, each with his own peculiarities.
Her university classmate, Homma, suffers from impotence. “K”, whom she meets on the net, is a self-confessed pervert. Then, there is a young gangster, Yasuda, who is a fellow manic depressive. Her cousin, Shoichi, is also on the scene, having left his family to pursue his mistress, only to be given the cold shoulder by her, too.
Yuko seems to create a different persona (and a different history) depending on whom she is talking to at the time. Human contact is just as important for her as for anyone else, but sometimes her condition makes it difficult for others to relate to her for as long as she would like.

Story
Satoko is a housewife living comfortably with her husband Hideyuki and her son Masato. One day, she receives an E-mail from a Matching Site and starts working as a prostitute.

There is a young guy named Minoru, who looks sincere and works hard as a paperboy, has a traumatic experience of killing his father when he was 12 years old. His father was a drunk and often committed domestic violence to his mother. Minoru thought this was the best way to save his mother, who nonetheless saw this as a mere disturbing incident and did not show any sympathy to her own son.

One day after work, Minoru’s friend shows him some erotic pictures of “non-professional” women. In these pictures, he finds Satoko with the face of terror. He knows Satoko, as she lives in the area where he delivers newspaper. Minoru could not take his eyes off from Satoko whose look reminds him of his mother’s scared face by the violence from her husband. Minoru involuntarily starts tailing Satoko and incidentally finds her being threatened by a punk, Tawara.

Mixed up by desire, love and hatred, Minoru tries to save Satoko who also want to get out of the mess she was trapped, but this seems just a transient love between real and delusion. Is it possible to find who you really are, when you are relieved from suffering and sadness of your heart?
