Summary
In 1988, Tokyo's bubble economy was at its peak. Reborn, Kitahara Shin possessed handsome looks and superb acting skills honed in his past life, yet lacking "star quality," he struggled to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Until one late night, while borrowing a light from a vending machine, he found a silver Zippo lighter carelessly discarded by the "original songstress," Nakamori Akina. [Equipment: The Songstress's Heartbreaking Lighter (Purple)] [Acquired Attribute: The Mask's Confession—Your silence is deafening, brimming with a sense of brokenness.] From then on, real-world objects possessed attributes in his eyes. Relying on the ultimate "atmosphere" granted by his equipment, he rose from bit parts to the pinnacle of acting. Nakamori's lighter, Matsushima's microphone, Sakai's denim jacket… He was a multifaceted actor on screen, and also the only accomplice and solace for these Showa-era goddesses in that turbulent era. "Don't be afraid, your secret is known only to me."
