1. A Girl from Akita
Aya dreams of living in Tokyo. As a high school student, she visits Harajuku. She realizes that in Tokyo, no one takes notice of her beauty. Years later, she finally moves to Tokyo to start her new life. Her first home is in Sangenjaya. People at her new job, a clothing company, spend time and money enjoying their private life. Aya thinks about what kind of woman she should be in such a workplace.

2. Dream Life in Tokyo - The Beginning of a Survival
Aya meets Naoki, who has a sweet yet simple smile -- just like the Sangenjaya district. They gradually become attracted to each other. She is getting comfortable at her job. Her coworkers often go to dating parties, and Ryoko, an experienced dater, dislikes Yuki for dating as often as her. Keisuke and Aya witness their fierce battle, and Naoki is anxious about Yuki's promiscuity.

3. Friday 8 PM at Ebisu Station
Aya has a successful career. Naoki is waiting for her at home. It seems that everything is working out, but she feels dissatisfied. She goes to a dating party and meets men who are full of confidence – like the Ebisu district. Aya falls in love with Takayuki, a handsome elite businessman. She chooses to shine as a Tokyo woman rather than be satisfied with happiness that she can earn back home.
