If the three characters diverged paths at pivotal moments in their real lives, that would set the stage for the drama. In this scenario, Takeuchi declines a scouting offer in Harajuku, Tokyo, which was the catalyst for entering the entertainment industry, while Maki and Mizukawa fail auditions for their breakthrough roles.

Bakarhythm conducts interviews with each actress, delving into their life experiences and what they might have pursued if they hadn’t become actresses. Drawing on this information and incorporating his own creative input, he crafts alternate lives for the three characters within a setting that feels plausible.

Ryoko Hirosue, who didn’t appear in the TV drama “Beach Boys,” failed to break through afterward. She continued working as an extra while doing part-time jobs like housekeeping and hosting weddings. At one of the wedding receptions where she was hosting, she encounters Yūko Takeuchi, a successful actress of the same age, and laments her own fate.

Haruka Igawa, who didn’t release a photo book, also failed to break through and lost her modeling gigs. Approaching her 40s, she reluctantly attempts to transition to acting but struggles to find success. Meanwhile, her fellow model Reina Koharagi graces the cover of the magazine “VERY” and achieves success.

Yuki Saito, who didn’t appear in the TV drama “Sukeban Deka,” also failed to break through. However, sparked by her leisurely reading at the library, she rediscovers her passion for learning, and at the brink of her 50s, she gains admission to the physics department of a university. She enjoys campus life with classmates around the age where it wouldn’t be strange for her to have children.

What would be the outcome of these actresses’ alternative lives?
