Oguri
Shun, Manaka Hitomi, Narumi Riko.
First time director Nishimura Ryo
helms this comedy drama starring Oguri Shun (Neighbor No.13), Matsuo
Toshinobu (Fly, Daddy, Fly) and Katsurayama Shingo (Ju-on 2). Seven
guys who are looking to make a quick buck arrive at the desolate
Dog Days bar to audition as "hosts" - young men paid to
entertain female patrons with their charm and smooth talk. On arrival,
however, they are stunned to discover that the bar manager has high-tailed
it with their deposits. But all is not lost, as the bar's sympathetic
owner offers up his venue to the boys on the condition that they
also run it themselves. They face a number of problems ranging from
personal problems and romantic interludes, to a female supervisor
with a heart condition and a full-blown typhoon, which all threaten
to thwart their attempts. But, as the boys band together, they will
learn more than how to successfully manage a bar - they'll learn
about love, trust and the true meaning of friendship.
