Plot
Maiku Kamishiro is a high school boy living by himself and trying to make ends meet by working as a programmer. He owns a photograph of himself as a young boy along with a little girl whom he believes is his long-lost twin sister. One day, he meets two cute teenage girls - Miina Miyafuji and Karen Onodera - who possess the very same photograph. Miina, and Karen even have the same eye color as Maiku. After much confusion, Maiku finally allows the two to stay in his house until he can find out which one is his real sister. On top of that, he must fend off the advances of his peers, including the class president and a homosexual classmate.

An action-packed fast hitting thriller based on a crime soaked urban jungle
Rambu: This is my private war. This day will bring me either justice or death. The time has come; it's now or never.
John Smith: If you can't even love yourself why should I love you.
Charlie: Ah, ladies are all the same. Think you can get away with bullshitting. I won't pay you shit.
Jenny: Its ok darling. When you get a job, I'll quit work. Then we can finally raise our family.
Clara: I'm not helping you. But I can't go on working for that devil John White. He has to pay for his madness and cruelty. And Rambu, I'm paying for my own sins.
Charlie: Here's my idea. I'll just go and kidnapp her. And that'll make him our slave.
Rambu: That did it!
Naah, I don't like that.
(Well, try just putting a, even if it takes a hair more time,

This announcement from the producers of this record contains
important information for radio program directors, and is not for broadcast.
The first cut on this record has been cross-format-focused for
airplay success. As you well know, a record must break on radio in order to
actually provide a living for the artists involved. Up until now, you've
had to make these record-breaking decisions on your own, relying only on
perplexing intangibilities like taste and intuition.
But now, there's a better way.
The cut that follows is the product of newly-developed
compositional techniques, based on state-of-the-art marketing analysis
technology. This cut has been analytically designed to break on radio. And
it will, sooner or later.
For the station that breaks it first, the benefits are obvious. You
lead the pack. Yes, no matter what share of this crazy market you do
business in, no other release is going to satisfy your corporation's
current idea of good radio like this one. On this cut, we're working
together, on the same wavelength, in scientific harmony.
But remember, this cut is const
ructed for multi-market-breaking
NOW. Don't waste valuable research with needless delay. We've done the hard
work of insuring your success; the final step is up to you.
A few announcements for the people who just came in

This week the Old Quarter's had Townes Van Zandt for five nights
We have him for one more night and we're glad to have him here tonight.
"It has been rumored that a new People's Army has been formed by a certain
'Commander Black'. A few minor incidents have already been reported, and further
unconfirmed reports suggest that this is a definite attempt to overthrow the
present government which is led by Mr. Flash.
"We would like to stress that these are only unconfirmed rumors, but we will
of course bring you up-to-date news and information on these reports as they
come in. Meanwhile we do urge the population not to panic and to remain calm
during the crisis."
Please stay tuned to this station for further bulletins.
